Electromagnetic Therapy
Electromagnetic therapy is found to be successful in treating various forms of physical as well as emotional pain. The various electromagnetic devices including magnets to being used worldwide to laminate pain, to heal broken bones, to relieve many forms of stress, and to relieve symptoms involving the skeleton and the joints of the body. The human body produces very subtle electromagnetic fields, which have been generated in the body through chemical reaction within cells and ionic currents passing through the nervous system. In recent years scientists have been discovering more and more ways that electromagnetic fields influence the body’s functioning both in a positive as well as a negative manner. These observations and other is have led to the development of electromagnetic therapy.
Magnetic fields surround us 24 hours a day seven days a week the matter where we are. They are generated by all electrical equipment, the earth itself, the moon, the sun, in even by solar storms emanating from the sun.
In 1974 researcher Albert Roy Davis, Ph.D., observed that the positive vs. the negative polarities which exist in all magnets have contrary affects on the biological systems they come in contact with. He observed that the negative magnetic field produced by a magnet could have a beneficial effect on living organisms. Further he observed that positive magnetic fields do not have a positive effect, to the contrary they have a negative or stressful effect. A prolonged exposure to the positive magnetic pole of the magnet has been shown to interfere with the metabolic processes, increases acidity, interferes with oxygenation, and other undesirable interferences. Of particular significance is his observation that a significant increase in pain can be experienced due to the interference of metabolic functions.
Japanese researcher Kyoichi Nakagawa, M.D. speculates the time spent inside buildings and other shelters can interfere with natural geomagnetic fields of the earth causing health problems. He coined the term magnetic field deficiency syndrome as an explanation for these phenomena. He claims of this syndrome can cause headaches, dizziness, pain, constipation, muscle stiffness, insomnia, and general feeling of fatigue.
Other researchers have found that week electric currents can promote the healing of damage bones. Robert Becker, M.D. the leader in this research also gained prominence by his observation that electromagnetic interference caused by he all forms of electrical devices from power lines to home appliances and computers can cause serious health hazards to human beings and animals.
Placing a negative magnetic field at the top of the head has a calming, sleep-inducing effect on brain and body functions, due to the stimulation of the production of the hormone melatonin. Melatonin is known to be able to provide many very useful biological services including being: antistressful, antiaging, antiinfectious, anticancerous. It has an effect on the production of free radicals (refer or to the free radicals section), which are substances known to cause great harm to normal tissue throughout the body.
How is Electromagnetic Therapy employed? There have been no reported and documented harmful side effects to magnetic therapy if the procedures are performed properly. The magnets north, which is its negative pole, is determined with the use of the magnetometer. Magnetic strength is measured in units of gauss.
There are a large number of devices used to generate magnetic fields in electromagnetic therapy. Larger machines are needed to generate a strong enough to magnetic field to treat bone fractures in joint related problems. There are magnetic blankets that reduce stress and promote sound asleep. There are other devices that are placed in clusters around portion of the body including the head. There are other tiny magnets designed to stimulate acupoints in order to promote a balanced flow of energy through the meridians.
To methodological applications of electromagnetic energy are used in therapy. One application exposes the body or a portion of the body through just the north (negative) pole of the magnet. The second application uses below gauss level of both negative and positive poles simultaneously. Practitioners using negative pole therapy typically use gauss intensity ranging from 2000 to 4000. The application is straightforward, the magnet is placed on the particular portion of the body being treated in his often-held in place by tape. Practitioners who employee spatially alternating magnetic poles typically use magnets in which the poles a spatially alternating in either a concentric circles pattern or a checkerboard pattern.
As a rule of thumb the longer a magnet remains in place the quicker the healing process occurs. It is recommended that the magnet stay in place 24 hours a day seven days a week where possible.

CASE STUDIES AND CLINICAL STUDIES:
Reporting of observed benefits of magnetic field therapy is commonplace, yet, Western medical practitioners and authorities continue to view magnetic field therapy as being a bit hokey. In morderm to convince mainstream traditional doctors that magnetic field therapy actually does work, many scientific studies need to be done and published in reputable, peer-reviewed journals. This means that placebo studies with both real and fake (placebo) magnets must be done. Till now the traditional medical establishment and/or credible alternative practitioners have funded few case studies. However there are thousands of individuals who have reported their own case histories. We will present several view to examine:
CASE #1:
This personal experience, cited by Dr. Ludwig, features a 46-year old man who suffered from severe heart flutter, diarrhea, nausea. No treatment helped him until a magnetic applicator with less than 1 gauss of energy was placed upon his solar plexus for three minutes. His symptoms immediately ceased; no relapse occurred two years later to boot!
CASE #2:
A 27-year old man who had undergone coronary bypass surgery continued to suffer from heart pain. His walk was reduced to a shuffle, his speech became slurred, and he struggled with chronic depression. According to Dr. Philpott Van, a plastiform magnet was placed over the man’s heart. Within ten minutes his pain almost miraculously disappeared! He also had magnets applied to the crown of his head while he slept and within months, his depression was gone, his speech was clear, and his walking returned to normal.
CASE #3:
A woman in her 70’s had pain and weakness in her left leg for 33 years from a blood clot in her groin area. She could not climb stairs without stopping due to the excessive pain she experienced, according to Dr. Philpott. After 12 months of sleeping on a negative magneto-electric pad, the woman found that she could walk long flights of stairs without pain or weakness in her leg.
CASE #4:
A woman who had a benign tumor removed from her spine could not walk without dragging her feet. Dr. Philpott placed a positive magnetic pole over the area where the tumor had been removed. The result: the woman began to walk perfectly. With positive and negative field magnets and lots of practice, neuronal function returned. The positive magnetic field (with brief exposure due to the potential dangers) stimulated nonfunctioning neurons and produced endorphins (the brain’s pain killers, naturally occurring opiates). The negative magnetic field prevented neurons from becoming overly excited.
