MAGNETIC HEALING PRINCIPLES
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE
Magnetism And Its Effects On The Living System ;
THE INCREASE OR
REDUCTION OF THE NORMAL LIFE SPAN OF ANIMALS
The life span of
rodents and animals can be extended up to 50 percent. Mice and rats proved this
possibility. In larger animals it has been more difficult to note this due to
their normal life span reaching 18 to 25 years, as in the case of cats and dogs.
However, the larger rats, as did the smaller mice, allow a good reference in
themselves and in comparison to the normal life spans in other animals when
they were treated with magnetic energies before active transplant of the sperm,
after the transfer, and/ or during conception of the embryo. On applying the S
pole fields prior to the first stages of development, on birth the animal
carries the changes effected by the S pole exposure. If after birth of the
rodent the applications of the S pole energies are made there is a lowering of
the life span due to oversex results. It was concluded that if the animal's
genetic mode is altered to one of a higher strength, the life span would be
extended by the fact we have altered the genes and the resultant strength of
the rodent. The main and most difficult matter to cope with is that due to the
oversex resultant condition to extend life one must isolate the male animal or
rodent for lengthy periods from the female or place restraints on the sex
activities of the male. If not, then depletion of strength acts on the heart
and organs and reduces the life span one may expect by many experimental
results. The N pole rodents and animals also show an extension of life but by
different approaches. The use of the N pole energies to extend life is quite
different. During these N pole experiments it was discovered that the extension
of the life span was the slowing down as opposed to the strengthening of the
rodent's or animal's system. This presented a slowing of maturity, thus
resulting in a longer life. This should open many new avenues of research as in
each experiment the perception and intelligence of the rodents and animals were
upgraded as a direct and positive result. The N pole exposures resulted in a
weaker, smaller rodent or animal of slow development by extending its normal
life span and upgrading all sensitivities, including intelligence, reflexes and
environmental reaction, inferring the brain's ability to be more sensitive in
recalling information and environment. The N pole animal or rodent was then
more intelligent than the du 11-witted, overly strong, slow to learn, animal or
rodent we have found is the result of the S pole exposure. The strength-giving
results of the S pole energies and the resultant changed animal while being
overly strong was in no way slow to move and respond to activity, yet there was
a failure to have the quickness of mind that the controls presented or the
increased mental activities of the N pole animals or rodents.
THE EFFECTS ON AND TO MICE AND RATS In the treatment of
mice and rats we built suitable cages to allow treatment of the males prior to
intercourse with the females. This was necessary so the sperm would carry the
pole effects and the active transfer of the sperm could be timed, checked and
recorded. Three groups of white lab mice were carefully selected. One group
acted as controls and the other two groups were marked S and N treated mice
respectively. The male mice were treated in a single cage, one to each cage,
with the S pole energies. Here 2500 gauss was used for eight hours. The cage
was designed to keep the subject in the S pole energy of the large 2~ x 6 inch
bar or cylinder magnet. At the same time in separate cages, well away from the
S pole treatment cages, the male mice were treated with the same type and
strength magnet except with the N pole of the magnet described. We then placed
the males and females together and normal intercourse took place. In a few
weeks we again saw a shortening of the time the babies were developed and
delivered by the S pole treated mice. Again, new and important findings were
made. The births were easier and the babies were larger than the N pole treated
mice. The controls were the same as normal delivery. The N pole treated mice
babies were more difficult to deliver than the controls. The babies, as in the
S pole treated mice, were larger and in some cases took longer to deliver. The
S pole mothers were stronger, and less effort for delivery was noted. This was
opposite to the N pole mothers, which seemed to be lower in strength, and the
babies were smaller compared to the controls. Before the birth of the mice each
cage was equipped with separate huts and with two openings. This allowed the
mothers to protect their young and keep them warm and away from any source of
danger. While this danger condition was not anticipated, the care and safety
factor had to be noted and was made available to each mother. On birth, the S
pole babies developed faster than the controls. The N pole babies took longer
to develop, were weak, thin, and did not feed as much as the controls. The S
pole babies were fed continually. They were stronger in every respect than the
controls. The same experiments were conducted with white lab strain rats, which
are similar to the white rabbit strains and come close to the blood system of
man. The rats followed the exact behavior in development stages as the mice. It
was noted that one important result of the mice and rat tests showed that the
control mice kept only a fairly clean cage, nest, and hut. The S pole treated
mice and rats kept their cages, nests and huts in a very dirty state; they did
not seem to be concerned about sleeping in their own mire and filth.
The N pole mice and
rats were very neat housekeepers and often took a great deal of time washing
and keeping themselves and their cages clean, including their nests and huts.
On the other hand, the S pole mice and rats were always stained, dirty and careless.
The controls WP,re not extreme one way or the other, their cages, huts, nests
and cleanliness ordinary for their species. The apparently high sensitive
behavior to lights, sounds, motion, movement in the laboratory, by the N pole
mice and rats as opposed to the boldness, strong, nonfearful behavior of the S
pole mice and rats showed a remarkable difference in the psychological behavior
pattern of the rodents. These differences coincided with our findings relative
to the particular pole energies. The discovery of these revealing changes in
the mice and rats was duplicated in the work that followed with white
Australian rabbits, which have a blood type similar to man. The effects were so
far-reaching in this work as to point directly to genetic changes. This was
shown by the sensitivities, physical development, nervous reactions, and the
trend toward cannibalistic behavior. There were also effects on the sexual
behavior of the rodents.
SEX LIFE AND AGING The sex life of the
mice and rats of the control groups was considered to be normal and we used
their behavior as norms. The sex life of the N pole rodents was limited and
less active than the controls. It was noted that experiments with the mice,
rats and rabbits all resulted in the same percentage of exactness in resulting
behavior. The S pole rodents, encompassing all of the above-mentioned types,
reacted to a far greater sex life with frequent activity. In some instances the
males killed the females by their sex activity of actual viciousness. The
exposure of the rodents to the S pole energies acted to inspire strength and
vigor and when applied to the sex organs encouraged their overdevelopment. This
was also later discovered in cats and dogs. The amount of sperm produced and
the larger percentages of resultant fertility were responsible in part for
changing the rodents and animals in their inborn habits, p ersonalities,
behavior, and encouragement of sexual activity and reproduction. In treating animals
after maturity that had not previously been subjected to the pole's energies,
the result was increased strength and sex activity. These experiments were by
exposure to the magnet for one hour a day for four days, the curve of effects
varying with the size and type of animal or rodent. The exposure was to the
male testicles and to the female reproductive organs-S pole 2500 gauss
strength. The result, if left unchecked, of the condition of oversex
stimulation was to shorten the life span of the rodent or animal. The heart was
affected, shortening the life span, and death resulted. In our research of
rodents and animals to arrest the oversex activities, it was found much could
be done if the N pole energies were directed to the male, exposing the
testicles and the ureter with N pole energies one hour a day for three days.
This resulted in a noticeable downgrading of the number of sex acts that were
performed in a definite period of time. Of equal interest during these
experiments was the measurement of the amount of sperm produced by the male
animal. In treating the sex organs with N pole energies less than normal
amounts were produced. We again used a similar animal as control-one that
produced the same amount in close percentage to the animal selected for the
measurement experiment. Here we note that the sperm is for the better part
protein; therefore, should the exposure of the S pole produce more measurable
sperm after a series of exposures to the animal we can then see that this acted
to encourage the production glands to effect a higher production of the protein
sperm fluids. Quite the reverse was found in the treatment of animals with the
N pole energies. We found a sharp lowering of the production of sperm and a
lowering of the amount of protein. We can see the possibility for the same
reactions taking place with man, since man and these selected animals have the
same or similar organs.
The south ( S) pole is
positive in respect to the north ( N) pole, which is negative.
The biological effects
of the application of the poles to biological fluids in a living system also
show the path of travel to be from the S pole to the N pole, and this also
includes all magnets as we have presented in the drawings herein.
The primary discovery
that the two poles of a magnet act to change and alter biological systems in two
completely different ways was made by Dr. Albert Roy Davis in 1936. This
discovery was quite by accident, and the noticeable effects on two cardboard
containers of earthworms led to undertaking a serious study of this change to
the biological systems. The accidental discovery was made in a small home
laboratory built upon leaving grade school and prior to attending the
University of Florida. A large horseshoe magnet was on a wooden work bench near
work on a small electronic oscillator used in the old superhetrodyne radio
circuits in early days of radio. The afternoon had been planned for fishing,
and three cardboard containers of earthworms were on the workbench. The
earthworms in the cardboard containers were in adequate amounts of black rich
soil, with sufficient moisture, and air holes had been punched in the
containers. The covers of the containers were securely fastened to prevent
escape. In the process of moving equipment on the workbench the containers of
worms were placed unintentionally with one container resting against each end,
or pole, of the magnet, and the other was a distance from the magnet. As the
day progressed additional laboratory work cancelled the fishing plans. The
earthworms and containers near the magnet were left in their positions for the
remainder of that day and night until the following morning. The next morning
there was an unexpected occurrence. The worms had eaten through one side of the
container that was resting against the S pole of the horseshoe magnet, while
the other containers were in no way changed. The remaining earthworms were
placed in fresh containers, again in the same positions in front of the
magnet's poles-leaving one container away from the magnet. It was anticipated
that if the poles of the magnet had any significance to the worms in the one
container next to the S pole eating their way to escape, the result would
repeat itself in another day. This did not occur. The experiment was forgotten
for other laboratory work until three days later. At that time it was
discovered that the earthworms next to the S pole had again eaten their way out
of their cardboard container. They were lying on the workbench, had lost their
moisture, and were dead. The phylum annelida, earthworm species, opened the
door for further investigation and research.
In the S pole container
the earthworms were still present and alive, though they had been very busy
chewing on the inside of their container. They were approximately one-third
larger, longer in length and larger in diameter and were extremely active. Evidence
of young worms in the soil showed a number of babies had been born.
The N pole container
produced different results as many of the earthworms had died and those still
alive were thin and showed little activity.
The S pole's magnetic
energies had affected the sharp rise in protein amino acid development and
active transfer to physical strength and developments. The N pole treated worms
presented the findings that, unlike the S pole worms, the N pole worms were acted
upon to reduce food intake, lessening the protein amino acid exchange, closing
digestion of the lowered food intake, and this affecting a lower exchange of
amino acids to physical strength and/or development.
Gauss of 100 to 300 were found to be the lowest effective
energies or strengths preferable. This would enable a reproduction of the
experiments with the same results time after time supporting this as a
scientific discovery. The highest level of energy found to be effective was
3,500 to 4,500 gauss. Above this the effects changed and even slowed in the
effects that occurred. These experiments and further research showed a curve of
effective strength that will then result in the highest degree of changes to any
and all living systems placed under or in these separate fields.
It should be noted also
that the waste matter discharged from the bodies of the worms contained a sharp
rise in oils and fats and certain proteins as a result of the S pole or
positive energy being applied in the prescribed manner to the subject. When the magnetic energy was
lower than 100 gauss, at levels lower than the earth's present one-half gauss
of magnetic fields, very harmful effects were noted on the subject.
THE MAGNETIC EXPOSURE
OF SEEDS Hundreds of experiments were conducted at our Florida laboratory
located in Green Cove Springs on the magnetic exposure of seeds. The results
here proved to be another outstanding series of biological discoveries. The
seeds treated before planting responded as did the earthworms-larger plants as
a result of the seeds' exposure to the S pole and smaller plants as a result of
exposure to the N pole of a magnet. The control, untreated, seeds acted as a
guide and reference as to the opposite effects that were the results of these
experimental magnetic treated seeds' growth and development. The biological and
analytical testing of the seeds at various stages of germination and
development plus plant growth and development stages allowed even a greater
understanding of such development results, such as the use of oxygen results
and other results.
Quick exposure from several seconds to several minutes to
one hour prompted certain improvements when the seeds were exposed to the S
pole.
Here we found the same reduction in strength and energy when the seeds were
exposed to the N pole. Laboratory analysis revealed the following. When exposed
to the S pole energies the seed plant development to the end product,
vegetable, fruit, root plants such as suga.r beets, and all others The Effects
of the Two Poles 31 planted, checked, replanted and harvested many times indicated that the plants
produced remarkable results from the positive energies exposure of the seeds.
The S pole energies tended to show rise in temperatures. Oxygen was liberated
at over normal amounts. Intake of carbon dioxide was increased. Acceptance of
organic matter, fertilizers, was increased and root products were greater. The
length and size of roots were longer, having also a wide range in growth under
the earth, and cycles where growth was speeded then slowed, unlike other
untreated plants used as controls of the same types and kinds.
Sugar beets yielded
more sugars. Peanuts presented outstanding increases in oils. Protein in the
amino acids indicated increases as to the plant type and kind over normal
amounts shown in hundreds of seed treatments, plantings and harvestings. The opposite results occurred
when the N pole energies were used to treat the seeds. This presented stunted
growth patterns, products less than normal in all activities in opposition to
the effects of the S pole energies. Therefore, we have two types of energy-one
that arrests life, growth and/or development, and one that increases life,
growth and development. The S pole or positive energies effects on the seeds
show there are advanced and quite noticeable cycles to the growth and
development of the plants. On planting there is a rapid germination period,
then a period of rest where no development is indicated. On checking the root
development there is a marked rise in root production. The top or surface
development of the plants slows, then speeds up in very remarkable advance
stages, not at all like seeds not treated or during their alternate periods of
cycles in their development. Here we find another change over the norm of plant
growth and development.

Coherence is
experienced as ease, orderliness, functionality, increasing capability, and
support for healthy life processes. Clockwise (CW, positive, right-handed or +)
spin is generally found in those places in nature where coherence dominates.
Here, one feels balanced, calm, and more energized.
Why is Spin
Important?
Areas with
moderate, steady clockwise spin have been found to support physical health,
harmonious emotional states, and mental clarity. Clockwise is the direction of
evolution , meaning that there is a constant tendency for improvement. Why?
Like the sky being blue, it s just this way that in any given spot there s a
trend towards improvement or towards disfunction. Coherence is also experienced
as deeper ability to rest during sleep, easier organization of thinking, or
organization of physical places and processes, creative thinking, resolution of
issues rather than conflict or stagnation, innovation, and so forth. Whatever
is taking place, or whoever is in the part of a building with a clockwise spin
in the background vortex field, will be supported towards greater well-being
and improvement. Coherence = harmony.
In contrast, areas
with counterclockwise, or other than clockwise movements of the pendulum, are
weakening, unharmonious, trending towards greater chaos and conflict rather
than harmony, mentally confusing and dulling, emotionally flat, conflicted,
agitated, anxious, or over-stimulating such that one cannot naturally relax,
center, and integrate experience. Sleep is more difficult and less restorative.
Even food in the negative EMF environment of most refrigerators will spoil more
quickly. It s easier to get sick and harder to heal. These are the patterns of
stress. Incoherence = stress.
I ve been testing
the spin in properties for over 15 years now, and I ve repeatedly how living in
space with a clockwise spin is inherently easier, and living in a
counterclockwise, chaotic, over-stimulated or weak field produces loss of a
sense of well being, creativity, harmony and productivity in all areas of life.
Those with more sensitive or weakened personal energy will feel the effects
sooner, but even a young, robust person will feel the effects over time from
cumulative influence, because it takes an expenditure of personal energy to
make up for what is lacking around one. The correct background spin is
important like pure water and clean air are important. One can improve a
property in multiple other ways, but if the spin is not right, the quality of
life is not what it could be and people, animals and plants will suffer.
Typically, most
homes and other buildings have a mix of areas with correct spin, and areas
without. The idea is to correct as much as possible all the areas with an
inharmonious spin, but to pay special attention to the places where one spends
the most time: sleeping areas are very important, chairs we sit in for hours to
work or relax, the computer we sit in front of and keyboard we type on, the
main entrances used, where we exercise, and even the interior of our cars when
they re in motion.
There are geopathic
features in nature which can produce a counterclockwise spin, such as certain
rock strata, underground water, ley lines, caverns, or man-made items such as
pipes, septic tanks, or buried toxins. Counterclockwise (CCW, negative, left-handed
or -) spin can be produced by other sources as well, most notably,
electromagnetic or radio frequency fields from faulty wiring, electronic and
other devices, and cellular devices. Synthetic materials also tend to have a
negative polarity. Prior difficult events in an area can also leave a negative
etheric imprint, which will affect the direction of energy spin. Negative is
meant in the sense of polarity, like the negative pole of a magnet.
This field, more
subtle than the electromagnetic field, has been called the Vortex Energy or
Scalar Field, and it literally has spin, which can shown by testing with a
pendulum. When tested, ideally, the spin will be a relaxed, steady, clockwise
spin, indicating the harmonious state called coherence . Anything other than
that kind of spinning motion indicates some kind of dissonance, also called
noise or interference, which has interrupted the coherence. Variations found in
the spin direction are: clockwise, counterclockwise, back and forth, changing
from one direction to another, a very heightened spin, a weak spin or virtually
no spin at all.

We need to clarify
something regarding perspective. If you look down onto the North Pole of a
magnet, the energy will appear to move to the left, moving AWAY from you in a
CCW motion. If you look down into the South Pole of a magnet, the energy will
appear to move to the right, moving TOWARD you in a CW motion.
If you stand on the Bloch Wall and look to the
North, the energy will now move in a CW motion, spinning to the right and TOWARD
you (concentrating). If you stand on the Bloch Wall and look to the South, you
will see the energy now spinning in a CCW motion, moving to the left and AWAY
from you (expanding).

When a spiral is
drawn starting at the center and around counterclockwise
(CCW) toward the
outside, the local aetheric energy is drawn
into the center of
the spiral and shot to the outside. When a spiral is
drawn from the
outside to the center, the energy is drawn from the
outside into the

In a permanent
magnet, there are two vortices present at each pole. There is an element both
the "north" (ccw) and the "south" (cw) in each pole. The
north element has proven to be the stronger vortex with higher gauss ratings.
The factor that distinguishes the north pole from the south pole is that the
north pole is the one with the weakest south vortex. (26)
For many, a CCW
coil is more comfortable.

To
determine the North-South direction of a magnet, tie a thread to the center of
the magnet bar and the other end to a high place such as a ceiling or door
frame. The suspended magnet will tend to spin and eventually position itself in
the direction of geographical North and South as is determined by a compass.
Permanently mark as South the side facing the South pole of the magnet with red
paint or fingernail polish. With one marked magnet, it can be lined up and used
to indicate the polarity of all other magnets.
Another
method is to align the needle of a compass to point North. Bring one side or
end of the magnet near the compass. The side of the magnet that is able to
attract the North end of the compass needle is to be marked as North. All other
magnets can be so marked and aligned to conform to one predetermined indicator
magnet.

1. Provides Oxygen to the Cells:
Since the cells are weak magnets containing both a positive and negative
charge, the cell assumes the polarity of the magn
2. Normalizes the Acid/Alkaline
Balance: North Pole Negative energy is alkalinizing yet doesn't over-alkalinize
with the effect of normalizing the pH. An over-acid system produces allergies,
toxic states, sore/stiff muscles, chemical hypersensitivity and many disease
states. Insect bites also produce an acid state in the body which often
overpowers the immune system.
3. Encourages Deep Sleep: During
sleep the polarity of the brain and central nervous system switches to negative
magnetic energy. Placing the body and particularly the brain in a negative
magnetic field encourages deep sleep by magnetically charging the crystals in
the Pineal Gland which respond by producing Melatonin which in turn regulates
sleep patterns and even brain response.
4. Builds Immunity: All known
microorganisms whether bacterial, viral or fungal and parasites whether tape
worms, pin worms, heart worms, etc, are positive magnetic energy driven and
therefore can be stunned or retarded by the application of North Pole Negative.
They are further damaged by the oxygen now in the cells and the alkaline
environment produced by the North Pole Negative energy.
One woman who was unable to work or go out into society because of extreme
environmental sensitivity, found that a flexible magnet placed inside a hat on
top of her head made it possible for her to go inside a mall for up to 2 hours
at a time!
5. Reduces Fluid Retention: Intercellular
edema (meaning inside the cells) is reduced when Negative North Pole energy is
introduced to it because it helps normalize the action of the Sodium/Potassium
Pump and gets the Sodium out of the cell and the Potassium in it. The excess
fluid is then carried away by the blood and lymph. Extracellular edema (meaning
outside the cells) exists in areas without drainage capacity like your eye,
sinuses and joints is helped by putting the North Pole Negative energy to the side
of the affected area so the fluid will be drawn away and toward an outlet.
6. Relieves/Stops Pain & Other
Symptoms: Since pain is usually a symptom of an imbalance in pH and/or
inflammation of the area, pain often simply disappears because there is no
longer a need for it.
7. Promotes Mental Acuity &
Reasonableness: The North Pole Negative energy also normalizes abnormal
electrical firing in the brain and calms an electrically overcharged brain.
8. Aids in Reducing & Dissolving
Fatty Deposits: The North Pole Negative energy is alkaline and therefore
neutralizes the acid in fatty tissue thereby dissolving the substance. This is
done very slowly. Don't expect results overnight.
9. Aids in Reducing Fat &
Calcium in the Circulatory System: Along with the aforementioned neutralization
of fatty deposits, the increased cellular activity further stimulates movement
of the hemogobin in the blood vessels thus decreasing deposits in them.

Dr. R. Broeringmeyer says that 6,000 years ago
the earth's magnetic field measured 3 Gauss. People lived longer and
archeological evidence shows they were healthier. We believe this was because
of the benefits of the earth's stronger magnetic field. Today, the average
measurement of this field is less than 1 Gauss. Dr. K. Nadagawa learned from
his study on Magnetic Field Deficiency Syndrome that the human body is under
the influence of the earth's magnetic field and, under modern day conditions,
the effect of this field has been decreasing. By applying a magnetic field on
the human body to supplement this decrease and this deficiency, abnormal
conditions may be corrected. Schumman

A few years ago it was believed that there
was basically no difference between North and South Pole energy and either side of a magnet was considered
useful for any health problem you might encounter. However, research now
reveals there is a definite difference between the two opposing forces.
North Pole Energy (also called Negative
energy) contains electrons which spin left (counterclockwise) while South Pole
Energy (also called Positive Energy) has electrons which spin right. Interestingly, for the body,
negative energy's effect is positive and positive energy's effect is sometimes
negative. Thus, when
you go somewhere to buy a magnet, don't buy a bipole magnet which has both
North and South Pole energy on the same side or a horseshoe magnet which does
something very similar. Also, realize that different fields of magnetic use
have different ways of labeling North or South poles.

Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D. provided a very
important fundamental observation concerning magnetic response and therapy.
He showed that when an injury occurs, the injured area registers magnetically
positive (south pole). After a few hours the site of the injury without any
outside magnetic influence registers negative (north pole). What this shows
is that north pole energy is a sign of healing while south pole energy is a
signal of injury and disorder. |
|
Since North and South Pole
energy are attracted to each other, it is quite simple to determine which is
which. When you wish to identify North Pole, you need a compass with its
north seeking needle This works because the earth itself is a huge magnet with
both a North Pole and a South Pole. The South pole of the magnet will always
face North no matter how many times it spins because it is North seeking.
Since like repels like, you can also use a correctly marked North Pole
magnet. . |
Why is it that so many different illnesses
have been reportedly Treated although seemingly mysteriously with Pulsed Electro magnetic therapy( PEMF)? Professor Holger Hannemann of
Switzerland states: "This is now easy to understand when you keep in mind
that many illnesses are the result of the same basic dysfunction. Every illness is a bio-energetic
(electrical) breakdown of the organism. It is a sign that the cells have been deprived of
energy and the defense mechanism weakened. It is then the task of Pulsed Electro magnetic therapy( PEMF) to remove the blockages that get in
the way of normal functioning." 1
North Pole Negative Energy's Effect On Your
Body
According to the BIOMAGNETIC HANDBOOK by
Dr. William H. Philpott & Sharon Taplin, North Pole Energy produces the
following effects in the body:
|
From 1950 to 1990, Dr. William H. Philpott, M.D., practiced and
specialized in psychiatry, neurology, electroencephalography, nutrition,
environmental medicine and toxicology. He was a founding member of the
Academy of Orthomolecular Psychiatry, and a fellow of the Orthomolecular
Psychiatric Society and the Society of Environmental Medicine and Toxicology.
From 1970 to 1975, Dr. Philpott conducted a research project to identify the
causes of major mental illness and degenerative disease. This research resulted
in the publication of two books: Brain Allergies: The Psychonutrient and
Magnetic Connections and Victory Over Diabetes. In 1990, After forty years of
medical practice, Dr. Philpott retired and dedicated the rest of his career
to researching magnetic therapy and to helping doctors in the field of
orthomolecular medicine understand its use. During this time, Dr. Philpott
compiled extensive data on the use of the negative magnetic field as a
therapeutic agent for virtually every pathological condition in human health.
In-depth discussions and protocols can be found in a series of newsletters
and manuscripts published by Dr. Philpott from 1995 to 2005. It was also
during this time that Dr. Philpott published two more books Bio-Magnetic
Handbook and Magnet Therapy, the latter of which, is the book that Dr.
Philpott is best-known for. In 1998, Dr. Philpott was presented with The
Linus Pauling Award by The Orthomolecular Health Society for his scientific
leadership and scholarship spanning the entire history of orthomolecular
medicine. |

Some
doctors prefer only North Pole, whereas others prefer South Pole for
treatment. Dr Albert Roy Davis, U.S.A. is an ardent supporter of single pole
use in his treatment. His book the Anatomy of Bio-magnetism states: Treatment
indications |
|
Magnetic Therapy in its natural state is the
dominant North Pole field of the Earth dominating over the life processes of
the body. With a full magnetic field from the Earth the body goes through many
actions to promote good growth, strengthen tissue and fight disease and damage
from accidents or injury. However most of the Earth does not have a full
magnetic field. Scientists tell us that as a normal process the Earth's poles
reverse approximately every 5,000 years. This could explain the loss of a lot
of dinosaur. As we move to this polarity switch, in about 2,000 years, the
Earth's magnetic field is lessening. With a decreased field the body is not
always able to make all the changes it should and it makes it unable to
successfully protect itself. An interesting note is that there are only four
places left on Earth with full magnetic fields. Two habitable and two are not.
The not are the North Pole and the South Pole. The habitable are Sedona,
Arizona and Lourdes, France - both known for healthy living and healing. They
can be thought of as East and West Poles.
|
In Discovery of
Magnetic Health, George J. Washnis reports that millions of people annually
visit Lourdes, France where greater north pole magnetic fields prevail. As a
result of bathing, drinking and dabbing the water of Lourdes on their body,
"All seem to feel better as pain and stress are relieved, while over
2,000 inexplicable cures (with 65 so-called miracles) have been recognized by
the authorities." |
Magnetic Therapy works by affecting our blood.
Normally the blood operates in a North Pole orientation, or under a North Pole
effect. In this polarity the blood is oxygenated and its process of
distributing nutrients and pulling wastes and toxins from injured tissue is
made most efficient. When the body is ill or injured the polarity of the site
is switched by the body to a South Pole orientation. This creates faster,
excited movement meant to draw blood cells to the area for healing. The blood
does not work well in a South Pole orientation. Its movement does not allow
normal function and an acid state is developed, which micro-organisms, viruses
and malignance thrive in. *The chart below shows the affect of North and South
Pole applications on the body.* Once the blood has been drawn to the area, the
body, with the help of the Earth's magnetic field is supposed to change the
polarity of the blood back to a North Pole orientation so positive activity by
the blood may take place.

Today, there are
researchers such as William H. Philpott, M.D., George J. Washnis with Richard
Z. Hricak, Robert O. Becker, M.D., Albert Roy Davis and Walter C. Rawls, Jr.
and Kyoichi Nakagawa of Japan are learning more and more about the effects of
magnets on the human body. |
The problem is that with a reduced
magnetic field the body can not always make this necessary conversion and the
injury/illness area is left in a South Pole orientation thwarting good cell
growth with its acid effect and slowing the healing process. Without blood
removing wastes and toxins from injury/illness sites they are left there to
fester and become unwanted bursas or arthritic tissue or bad
calcification. The
increase in conditions like Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, ADD,
ADHD and a multitude of cancers and other Auto-Immune system diseases have
increased with the decrease of the magnetic field.

Other problems are slow healing in fracture sets and longer recovery periods of
disability after accidents. Another sign of this is the great increase in
repetitive motion injuries in every form of business and sport. The answer in
many cases is Proper Polarity Magnetic Therapy
How essential is magnetism to living
organisms? The Smithsonian Institute determined that sharks and insects obtain
up to 90 percent of their energy from the Earth's magnetic field rather than
from food. Both sharks and insects are highly resistant to viral infectious
diseases, including cancer, even though insects do not have an immune system.
Dr. William Philpott believes magnetic energy is our first line of defense. He
describes our immune system as our second line of defense.
Discovery of Magnetic Health George Washnis 1993,
Dr. J.H. Vandyk and Dr. M.H. Helpern did
research for NASA in which they raised mice in specially prepared metal cages
that shielded them from the electromagnetism of the Earth. Within a few weeks
the animals lost their fur and began to die. The connective tissue in their
skin and internal organs showed signs of uncontrolled growth. Additional
animals raised in a normal environment during the same study remained healthy.

Cancer Results of this study found that prolonged
exposure to static magnetic fields for a period of 64 hours inhibited growth
of three human tumor cell lines in vitro.43 This study examined the effects
of a rotational magnetic field on a group of 51 breast cancer patients.
Results showed a significant positive response in 27 of them.44 Results of this study indicated that exposure to
a rotational magnetic field inhibited Walker's carcinoma tumor growth as much
as 90 percent in some cases.45 Results of this study indicated that pulsed
magnetic field stimulation increased the incorporation of antitumor agents
into cells, and thus increased antitumor activity shifting the cell cycle to
a proliferative from a nonproliferative phase.46 Results of this study found that 20-30 sessions
of magnetotherapy administered preoperatively exhibited antitumor effects in
patients suffering from lung cancer.47 This study examined the effects of
microwave resonance therapy (MRT) in patients suffering from various forms of
cancer. Results showed that MRT treatment prior to surgery reduced the spread
of cancer-associated conditions and reduced the risk associated with surgery
in 87 percent of patients. MRT applied postoperatively had beneficial effects
in 68 percent.50 Results of this study proved that the combination
of weak pulsed electromagnetic fields with antioxidant supplementation is
beneficial in the treatment of patients suffering from tongue cancer,
improving speech, pain control, and tolerance to chemotherapy.51 Results of
this controlled study indicated that treatment with a constant magnetic field
significantly improved long-term (3-year) survival time in patients
undergoing radiation therapy for cancer of the throat. Constant magnetic
field therapy consisted of the application of 300 mT for 30 minutes to tumor
and metastasizing regions immediately prior to each irradiation.52 Results of this Russian study indicated that the
use of whole body eddy magnetic fields, coupled with more conventional cancer
therapies (including magnetotherapy) is effective in the treatment of
patients suffering from a variety of different malignancies.53 This article reports on the case of a
48-year-old-woman with breast cancer who was treated successfully with
magnetotherapy. Infiltration showed a marked decrease following 30 whole body
exposures to an eddy magnetic field for 60 minutes. One metastatic node
disappeared while the size of others was reduced following 60 such exposures.
A total regression of tumor and metastases was seen following the completion
of a course of 110 exposures.54 This study examined the effects of whole body
magnetic fields (16.5-35 G, 50-165 Hz) on patients suffering from different
forms of cancer. Treatment consisted of 15 cycles, each 1-20 minutes in
duration, and was coupled with more traditional cancer therapies. Results
showed that the magnetotherapy had overall beneficial effects, particularly
with respect to improved immune status and postoperative recovery.55 BIOMAGNETIC HEALING |
By applying a structured North Pole
magnetic field, using magnets or a pulsed magnetic field generator, we can
convert the polarity of the blood in the injury/illness area allowing the blood
to work as it should, pulling wastes and toxins away to the kidneys and other
cleansing organs, clearing a path for good cell growth aided by the nutrients
the blood can now deliver. Simple and totally natural. Use a Natural field to
act as a catalyst to normal blood functions. The body can now heal itself
naturally. Of course if there are broken bones or vertebrae out of place the
magnets will not do it alone, this is time for a good chiropractor. Magnetic
Therapy is only a piece of the health pie allowing us to avoid in many cases
unnatural medicines and sometimes making surgical procedures unnecessary.
Magnetic Therapy works great on many conditions and studies are coming up with
more uses every day. Like
the positive effects of drinking North Pole magnetized water for those with
conditions like the Arthritis's, Fibromyalgia, Gout and ADHD to name a few. People are having great success but
that's not a reason to avoid health professionals. After all without good
diagnosis what do we treat? Magnetic Therapy works as well on Horses, Dogs and Cats as it does for
people.

Magnetic Fields (i.e. Magnetic Pulser) |
Apply a natural North Pole
magnetic field. Convert the polarity of the blood to the North Pole orientated
working polarity. Let the body heal itself. What is more natural than that?
Therapeutic Uses
Magnets have been used therapeutically to
relieve pain and discomfort for thousands of
years, perhaps even longer than acupuncture, which is over 2000 years old. The
first
reported therapeutic use of magnets involved the grinding up of a naturally
occurring
material called magnetite and the application of this in poultice form to
uncomfortable
areas of the body.
Magnetite makes for a relatively weak
magnet by today's standards. But since the earth's
naturally occurring magnetic field was far higher in the past (2 to 3 gauss as
opposed to
1/2 gauss today), magnetite crystals may have been stronger at one point in
time. Still,
this is a weak field by today's standards as one can easily buy a magnet with
an internal
gauss strength of 10,000 (1 tesla) or more. Such high exposures do not appear
in any
way detrimental; at worst, they seem harmless and at best they appear to help a
variety
of conditions.
Exposure to the earth's magnetic field
plays an essential role in our health, a fact clearly
demonstrated when the first astronauts returned to earth sick. Their illness
was soon
attributed to a lack of magnetism in outer space and the problem was
subsequently
resolved when NASA placed magnets in their space suits and spaceships.
It has since been discovered that in the absence of a magnetic field, the
energy level of
atoms diminishes. Necessary nutrients become depolarized and unusable. If this
condition is permitted to continue, the body can become imbalanced and function
improperly. By restoring balance to an organism, biomagnetic therapy can
alleviate a
number of health conditions. Some of the most common applications of magnets
are
described below:
General Uses
Relief from Pain and Discomfort The most common use
of magnetic fields is in
the treatment of pain, with reports of successful treatment in a wide variety
of
conditions, including arthritis, rheumatism, fibromyalgia, back pain,
headaches, muscle
sprains and strains, joint pain, tendonitis, shoulder pain, carpal tunnel
syndrome, and
torn ligaments.
A noteworthy American double-blind, placebo-controlled study on the effects of
static
magnets on the treatment of arthritis was recently published in the MDBR Journal
of
Rheumatology MDNM (November 1997, p. 1200). The study confirms the
effectiveness of magnets in relieving the pain of arthritis. Another scientific
study of
similar rigor is being carried out by Dr. Zimmerman, and is looking at the
effects of
fixed magnets on low back pain. There is good reason to expect confirmation of
what
users have been claiming for years--that magnets are an excellent aid to pain
relief.
To understand how magnets work to alleviate pain, it may help to look at pain
mechanisms in the body. Pain is transmitted along nerve cells as an electric
signal.
While quiescent, the nerve has a small charge of about -70 mV. A pain signal
depolarizes a cell. Magnets appear to raise the depolarization potential of the
cell so that
the signal is blocked from depolarization, in effect, blocking the pain.
Furthermore, the
ability of the nerve to send pain is slowed by a magnetic field. These
phenomena can
aid in the relief of pain throughout the body.
Pain relief may be enhanced when a magnet's negative pole is placed over
certain
acupuncture meridians. Research and clinical experience show that magnets
increase
energy (qi) along these points. The combination of therapies works
synergistically so
that their combined effects are greater than the sum of their effects would be
if they
were used separately. In addition, acupuncturists like magnets because they are
painless
and allow the treatment to continue long after a visit.
Reduction of Inflammation and Improved Circulation. Injured tissue emits a
positive charge; placing the negative pole of a magnet over the area appears to
restore a
natural balance in the following way: The magnet improves circulation, allowing
blood
vessels to dilate and bring a greater volume of blood flow to the injured area.
This helps
to bring in natural healers and to remove the toxic byproducts of
inflammation--
bradykinens, prostaglandins, and histamines--all of which contribute to
inflammation
and pain. Thus, pain and inflammation are diminished and tissue healing is
stimulated.
Antimicrobial Effects Magnetic therapy can help the body ward off such
microbial
invaders as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. It achieves this, in part, by
increasing immune
function through the oxygenation of white corpuscles, an important part of the
immune
system's arsenal.
A magnetic field can also function like an antibiotic by lowering acidity, with
the result
that microorganisms have a more difficult time surviving. In addition, hormonal
production is regulated, altering enzymatic activity and biochemical messengers
of the
immune system. For example, the pineal gland is one large electromagnetic
entity. The
net effect is to augment the body's natural ability to resist a variety of
germs.
Stress Reduction The recent discovery of magnetite in the cells of the brain
helps
explain the calming effect of biomagnetic therapy. A magnetic field applied to
the head
calms as well as induces a hypnotic sleeping effect on the brain by stimulating
the
hormone melatonin. Melatonin is known to be anti-stressful, producing a
sedating effect
in insomniacs. This finding has led to the manufacture of magnetic pillows and
pads
designed to provide a sound and restful sleep. A person can then awaken with
more
energy and fewer aches and pains.
Correction of Central Nervous System Disorders Dr. William Philpott claims
that biomagnetic therapy can help central nervous system disorders. He states
that such
symptoms as hallucinations, delusions, seizures, and panic can be alleviated
through
biomagnetic therapy without disrupting the patient's mental alertness and
orientation.
Also, a magnetic field may reduce the need for tranquilizers and
antidepressants.
Magnets have been used as well to stop epileptic seizures.
Energy Enhancement Biomagnetic therapy is known to increase general well-being
by enhancing energy. The normal polarization of a positively charged nucleus
with a
negatively charged outer membrane permits a cell to function as a healthy
entity.
However, as the cell performs its daily functions, it becomes depolarized. Depolarized
cells equal a tired person. It is believed that magnetic energy has the ability
to penetrate
all facets of the human body and reach every cell. That translates to greater
energy and
vitality throughout the body as a whole. Consequently, supplemental biomagnetic
therapy can help the body revitalize.
One normally revitalizes biological energy during sleep. This can be enhanced
by
sleeping in a magnetic field. Then, anabolic hormones, such as melatonin and
DHEA,
are made. Melatonin, made by the pineal gland, is a master hormone controlling
the
entire energy system.
Quicker Healing The medical community has known for years that pulsed
biomagnetic therapy promotes the healing process, particularly of bone
fractures. For
over 40 years, many doctors have used pulsed biomagnetic therapy to treat
fractures and
have had a high rate of success. Several magnetic instruments have already been
FDAapproved
and sanctioned for both safety and therapeutic implications.
The success of this therapy is attributed, in part, to its facilitating the
migration of
calcium ions and osteoblasts to heal broken bones in less than the usual time.
In
addition, the migration of calcium occurs away from joints to reduce painful
arthritic
joint inflammation. The end result is the noninvasive promotion of natural
healing,
without the use of unnatural chemicals and drugs. Adequate magnetic energy also
softens or eliminates scar tissue formed during the healing process.
Some doctors put magnets into the dressings over fractures. In fact, one
veterinarian I
know, who broke his ankle after falling from a horse, reported following this
strategy on
himself.
Increased Athletic Endurance and Performance For years, magnetic therapy has
been used around the world on race horses to heal injuries and enhance
performance.
Doug Hannum, owner of the Equine Therapy Center in Camden, South Carolina,
employs magnetic blankets along with other natural healing modalities on
animals, and
professional riders, such as five-time Olympian Bruce Davidson and world
championship rider Dorothy Trapp, ship their steeds to Hannum for therapy.
Stunning successes with animals have prompted professional athletes to use
magnets.
The Russians may have been the first in recent athletic history to have adapted
magnetic
therapy to foster greater athletic strength and achievement. Today, many
notable
American athletes embrace this technology as well. Denver Bronco linebacker
Bill
Romanowski revitalized his aching body by sleeping on a magnetic mattress pad.
Yankee pitcher Irabu plays with dozens of magnets stuck to his body. Top golfer
Jim
Colbert endorses magnets. And professional football player Steve Atwinter, a
seventime
pro-bowler, says, "I am not waiting for scientists to bless it. I only
know it works."
Even high schools are turning to magnetic therapy to improve athletic
performance.
Although the effect of increased endurance and performance is known, the cause
is not
definitively understood. It is felt that magnetic energy warms up the muscles
and joints
so that performance is increased. At least as important, serious injuries are
reduced. In
addition, it is known that magnetic energy increases blood flow to the muscles,
thereby
increasing strength at these work sites.
Specific Uses
In addition to its general benefits,
biomagnetic therapy may help a variety of specific
conditions. This is not to say that magnets will cure absolutely, irreversibly,
and
indefinitely. How much good they do varies from person to person and depends
upon
such factors as the depth of the problem, how long the condition has been in
existence,
and how strong the magnet is.
Also, when using magnets for chronic
longstanding conditions, where the tissues have
not been getting adequate blood flow, you may at first get an exacerbation of
symptoms.
Some people call this a healing crisis. The discomfort usually passes in 24 to
48 hours.
In the meantime, one may wish to take some Tylenol, aspirin, or similar
pain-relieving
medication to help with the discomfort until the body starts to recover its
circulation.
One alternative is to decrease the length of time the magnet is worn in the
beginning
and to gradually increase the time.
When using magnets for healing purposes, the strength should generally be
between 100
and 500 gauss. Most treatments employ static magnets. However, when treating
fractures, either static or pulsed electromagnets can be useful. Here are some
conditions
for which magnets can be helpful.
Aging Magnets activate life-promoting enzymatic activity
which, in turn, encourages
normal cell division. This creates a healthier organism and may then slow down
the
aging process. Several studies on animals show magnetic therapy to increase
lifespan.
In order to balance the energy of the organs and glands throughout the body, it
has been
suggested that one apply magnetic fields to the whole body. Sleeping on a
magnetic bed
is an excellent way to accomplish this. Drinking magnetized water is another
good habit
to get into. Additionally, injured or weak areas of the body can be
strengthened by
applying magnets to these specific sites.
Amputations Many amputees suffer from a phenomenon called
phantom pain; i.e.,
they feel pain in a limb that was removed. Many of these patients have vascular
problems. Research shows that in many, magnets can improve the flow of blood in
the
stump and cause phantom pain to go away.
Appendicitis A northern or bipolar magnet can be placed over the affected area.
In
advanced infections, however, you should not hesitate to call a doctor, as this
is an
emergency situation.
Arthritis Magnetic therapy may be one of the most effective
methods for achieving
relief from arthritis, according to a recent study published in the
"Journal of
Rheumatology" (November 1997, p. 1200). Placing the north pole of a magnet
over an
inflamed area on a regular basis may be a key factor in improvement, especially
for
arthritis in the hands and feet. Magnetic therapy may help reduce bone and
tissue
degeneration.
Asthma and Bronchitis Wearing a strong neodymium magnet
over the chest to
cover the bronchial tubes and at an equal level on the back may help these
conditions. In
addition, sleeping on a magnetic mattress pad can be beneficial. It may take
several days
before breathing returns to normal, and magnets can be worn continuously during
that
time.
Scientific evidence supports the use of magnets in bronchitis, in both adults
and
children. In his clinical practice, Dr. William Pawluk reported success after a
patient of
his, who suffered from chronic bronchitis after having been poisoned by mustard
gas,
used magnet therapy. The use of this treatment resulted in a greater ease of
breathing.
Breast Fissures Breast fissures are skin wounds that occur in women who are
breastfeeding. Placing magnets over the wounded skin can help the fissure heal
more
quickly.
Burns Magnets can help speed up the healing of all but
the most serious burns. They
are good to keep around the kitchen for burns received after touching a hot
stove or
picking up something that is scalding. Magnets should be placed over the site
of injury.
For slightly more serious burns, the use of magnets may help reduce the need for
analgesics to control pain..
Cancer Cells depolarize before becoming metastatic, and so
one can speculate on how
this approach may have been successful in those clinical cases that have
responded to
magnet therapy. When using magnets for cancer, remember the following rules of
thumb: The magnetic pole used must be negative. The field should be larger than
the
primary lesion and the gauss greater than 25. Success rate increases if both
the gauss
and duration are increased. A minimal duration of 20 hours per day for no less
than
three months is required in most cases. The therapeutic effect is, in part, a
result of the
negative pole producing alkaline hyperoxia (abundance of oxygen). Cancer cells
form
their energy by making ATP in an acid anaerobic environment, which is termed
acid
hypoxia.
Russian reports indicate that using magnetic therapy along with chemotherapy
increases
success in the treatment of brain tumors. Patients given magnetic therapy were
less sick
than patients who did not receive it, and they recovered more quickly. They
also had
fewer problems with their adrenal glands, which chemotherapy can sometimes
affect.
Since the amount of information available on magnetic therapy with cancer is so
limited, and since cancer is such a serious condition, one should never
consider magnets
as a sole therapy.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Magnets can be applied to the front
and back of the wrist
to help this hard-to-heal condition. While the symptoms can be controlled with
the help
of magnets, one should not expect the condition to be automatically cured.
Cervicitis The Russians have designed magnets for intravaginal use to alleviate
chronic cervicitis. They are placed in the vagina, next to the cervix. While
this method
may be useful for chronic cervicitis, it probably should not be used for acute
infections,
such as yeast infections.
Circulatory Problems One can place magnetic strips along the
forearm and sleep on
a magnetic pad at night.
Depression When magnets are placed over the head, they can
help lift one's mood and
promote relaxation.
Dermatitis As magnets decrease swelling of any kind, they
can be placed over any
area of inflamed, red, itchy skin with favorable results.
Ear Pain Magnets can be placed over the painful site.
Medical advice should also be
sought, though, particularly for children.
Endometriosis This painful condition causes little blood spots
inside the pelvis and
is characterized by tissue irritation, inflammation, and pain. Women with
infertility
problems often suffer from this. Benefit can be realized through magnetic
therapy,
although it might take several months. In one study, good results were seen
when 250-
gauss magnets were placed over the lower abdomen for six to 12 hours.
Fibromyalgia One should sleep on a magnetic mattress pad and
use a magnetic
pillow. Magnets can also be placed over painful areas during the day.
Foot and Leg Problems Magnetic insoles will increase
circulation and help
conditions such as numbness, burning, aches, restlessness, and leg cramps. In
addition,
one should sleep on a magnetic mattress pad.
Head Injuries Head injuries, even mild ones, can leave
people with chronic,
debilitating problems, many of which show up years later as headaches, memory
disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, eye problems, irritability, or other
symptoms.
Magnets placed around the head and neck can correct the electrical imbalance
precipitated by the injury.
Heart Disease A neodymium magnet worn over the heart may
assist the body in
healing itself, and may, in time, allow one to lessen or discontinue
medications. Of
course, one should always follow a physician's advice.
Some of the effects of magnets on circulatory function are greater blood vessel
dilation
and increased oxygenation of tissues. Biomagnetic therapy may also improve
vascular
resistance and decrease the stickiness of blood platelets. People with a
peripheral
vascular disorder and arteriosclerosis may therefore benefit from magnetic
therapy.
Biomagnetic therapy may also undo blockages throughout the body, such as in the
vessels of the lower extremities, the arteries in the neck, and the blood
vessels in the
hands and arms. By opening up a blockage in the heart, magnets may help prevent
or
improve ischemic heart disease, angina, and heart attacks.
Muscle Spasms One of the major actions of magnets is to
decrease spasms in
muscles. If you pull a back muscle or you're under a lot of stress, those
muscles may
tighten up. Placing small round magnets or little block magnets over those
areas can
make a significant difference.
Dr. Pawluk* reports additional relief when
acupuncture meridians are stimulated with
magnets: "In some patients, myself included, I've placed a magnetic pad
over the sacral
area because it hits the bladder meridian going up the back. The bladder
meridian
controls the energy flowing through the muscles, all the way up and down the
back,
including, to some extent, the shoulders. If you increase the energy flow along
the
bladder area, it will help a muscle problem or tension up into the
shoulders."
Muscle Strains and Sprains and Joint Pain Dr. Pawluk* reports success after
applying a magnet over the site of a torn muscle: "While playing with the
family dog, I
tore a muscle in my calf. It was very painful. I covered the area with a large
magnetic
pad, one that was probably 8 x 10 inches wide. And I wrapped an Ace bandage
around
that. I wore that for three days. It made a significant improvement in the pain
and
discomfort and reduced the bruising around the tissues."
Local applications are appropriate for
these types of problems. Wear the magnet for
several hours, and then take a break from it. Either wear the magnet all day
and take it
off during the night or vice versa. The same rule applies to joint pain. A
magnet can be
taped over the joint for a set period of time. Additional benefit can be
derived if
magnets are placed over corresponding acupuncture points.
Neuritis The Russians performed a study of 39 neuritis
patients on medication alone,
and an equal number on medicine plus magnetic treatments. Magnets were placed
along
the spine, even though the neuropathy may have been experienced in the arms.
The
assumption was that some of the information processing originated in the spine.
Therefore, treating the spine would be reflected in improvement in the arms.
The
experiment found a great degree of improvement in both groups, but particularly
in the
group receiving medication plus magnetic treatment. Pain was reduced and nerve
reflexes improved.
Post-Polio Syndrome Recently, a study was performed
examining the effect of
bipolar magnets on post-polio syndrome, a condition characterized by muscle
tenderness and pain in patients who have had polio. The condition occurs years
after the
original damage from the polio virus. Application of magnets to these tender,
painful
spots was shown to alleviate pain in this double-blind placebo-controlled
study, the
results of which were published in the November 1997 issue of the
"Archives of
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation".
Rheumatoid Arthritis Magnets act as an anti-inflammatory,
and therefore help
some chronic inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Surgery Some studies have shown that using magnets for 24 to 48 hours before
surgery, over the site where the incision will be made, results in better
post-operative
recovery. Additionally, wearing magnets over a wound after the sutures have
been put
in can also speed up healing.
Length of Exposure
In many studies using magnets, patients experience favorable results with
intermittent
use as opposed to continual wear. In other research and clinical experience,
conditions
are alleviated when magnets are worn full-time. This raises questions for
further
research: Should magnets be worn all the time or should they be worn for
certain
intervals? Should the length of time they are worn vary from condition to
condition or
person to person?
Dr. Pawluk* asserts that research shows
that if magnets are worn all the time, the body
may adapt to the field and establish a new level of homeostasis. This can be
compared,
Pawluk explains, to walking into a room that has the scent of flowers. After
one is there
awhile, the smell becomes imperceptible. The body may, therefore, need a
periodic
time-off from magnets.

In 1923 Soviet
biologist Alexander Gurwitsch, who initiated research with the belief that
all physical and biochemical reactions all have as their essence
electromagnetic energy, proclaimed, "Every living cell also produces
electromagnetic currents." Another Soviet researcher, Georges Lakhovsky, was
also convinced that the human body and therefore the cells in that body are
equipped with biological receivers that react to every stimulus in the
environment. He stated, "Every cell in a body is stimulated by the
resonating interaction of the rhythmical flow of electromagnetic
currents." It is clear from this research that the Earth's magnetic
field is intended to provide each cell in our body with the magnetic and
electrical energy that they need to survive. Since it has been established
that this energy is deficient, it is necessary to supplement this if we want
to live our lives to their fullest potential of health and length of life. |
South-Positive
Has a clockwise rotation
Excites Increases pain
Increases inflammation
Produces an acid effect
Intensifies symptoms
Promotes microorganisms
Inhibits healing
Increases fluid retention
Decreases tissue oxygen
Stimulates wakefulness
Has an over productive effect
Encourages fatty deposits
Polarity of an injury site
Stimulates body function
In theory if you are using an alternating
(AC or Bi-Polar) field, a combination of North and South poles applied at the
same time, with prolonged use you will get an over stimulation of the condition
being treated. Eventually the South Pole energy you are adding to the South
Pole field of the injury Illness site will overcome the small amount of North
Pole energy applied. At that time your body will be affected by the symptoms of
the South-Positive field.

So, are Pulsed Electro magnetic therapy(
PEMF) Products necessary? It is obvious from Reading and
listening to many experts that the answer is yes. Does the polarity of a magnet
that you are putting on your body matter? It appears that our bodies are
similar in response to any electrical device. What happens if you put the
batteries in backwards? IT DOESN'T WORK! What happens if we put the batteries
in backwards into a sensitive electrical device and leave them there for a long
time? The device is destroyed. Take care of your body and give it the HEALING
ENERGY that it deserves, with a properly designed Pulsed Electro magnetic therapy(
PEMF) System.

(Editor's Note: Summary of a 57 page Report presented by G. Wollin on November
20, 1987, at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden.) Excerpt
taken from MAGNETS, Volume 3, Number 4, April 1988.
"Mrs. Kerstin Westelius had lung cancer of the
metastasis type. After years of surgery, therapy and chemotherapy, she was told
in June 1987 by her physicians that her cancer was incurable and that she had
only 2 more months to live. Here in the picture, she is shown in January of
1988 with her physician, Dr., Erik Enby, who treated her by hanging a Neomax
supermagnet around her neck, and with Prof. Goesta Wollen of Clyde, N.C., who
invented the method of treating cancer with the employment of supermagnets. Since
July of 1987 more than 50 cancer patients in Sweden and America have been
treated - all successfully."
Because of the recent invention of a supermagnet with
great strength and a minute size, three breast cancer patients have been cured
by a method, which will revolutionize the field of cancer treatment. One of the
patients had breast cancer of the metastasis type; that is, the cancer had
transplanted into tissue distant from the site of the original cancer. The
technique we used strongly indicates that all kinds of cancer can be cured by
this method.
The super energy permanent magnet we use in our
project has a maximum energy of up to 35,000,000 gauss-oersteds. This strength
of the supermagnet is the world's record in commercial production, according to
the prestigious American Journal "SCIENCE." It is made of iron, boron
and neodymium, one of the rare metals. It is brand-named Neomax.
The Neomax supermagnet was recently -1983 - invented
by the Sumitomo Special Metals Company of Japan. This company also commercially
produces it.
The size of the Neomax supermagnet that was used in
the cancer project is approximately the size of an American quarter. It is
smaller than a Swedish krona. It weights 30 grams, which is approximately 1
ounce.
The supermagnets for Professor Wollin were made to his
specifications. Professor Wollin received, as a generous gift, 30 Neomax
supermagnets from the Sumitomo Special Metals Company of Japan. Each one of the
women with breast cancer who participated in the project had a supermagnet
hanging around her neck for about 4 months, with the north polarity of the
magnet directed toward the body.
The results indicate that our method can cure all
types of cancer. If we had positioned the magnets on the tumor, we would not
have known this. But since we hung a supermagnet around the neck of each
patient, it indicates the supermagnets influence the whole body.
Of importance is healthy tissue surrounding a cancer
tumor is not harmed by a supermagnet because healthy cells have different
electromagnetic potential than cancer cells.
Of great importance is that we can suggest a
mechanism; that is, what is happening when a supermagnet is trying to eliminate
a malignant tumor. The mechanism is based on Wollin's recent discovery of a
universal spiral theory. Wollin discovered that spirals are found throughout
nature, from the galaxies, each one consisting of hundreds of billions of
stars, down to the basic shape of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the bodies'
ultimate genetic material. The miraculous molecule that makes a mouse a mouse
or a human-being a human being. DNA exists in every chromosome in every cell of
every individual.
We propose that magnetism and cancer cells are spirals
on different scales. When super magnetism is applied to cancer tumors, the
magnetic spirals, being larger, are dominating, and at the end, kill the
smaller cancer cell spirals.
The successful result of our cancer treatment project
is a consequence, of more, than 400 years of research in the fields of
electromagnetotherapy and diseases.
Electromagnetotherapy needs to be clarified because in
the literature the term's electrotherapy, magnetotherapy, etc., are used to
describe the same process. We use only the term electromagnetotherapy because
Maxwell showed that electricity and magnetism are two aspects of the same
entity, electromagnetism.
In a book chapter entitled "About Magnets and
Their Wonderful Ability to Help in the Cure of All sorts of Diseases" by
Paracelsus, he writes, for example, that he found the use of magnets to be of
great value for the cure of epilepsy. He recommends that 4 magnets be placed on
the stomach and 4 on the back.
So far Nordenstrom has treated with
electromagnetotherapy 80 patients with breast and lung cancer tumors. His
treatment has regressed or killed the tumors in most of the 80 patients.
Nordenstrom's treatment of cancer tumors consists of inserting a long needle
into the center of a tumor and another needle in normal tissue. The needles are
platinum electrodes. The electrode in the tumor is positive and the other
negative. Wires are hooked to both electrodes and are connected to a direct
electric current processor. The electric current is turned on and is increased
in successions from 0 to 10 volts. The treatment has begun.
It is important that our method for curing cancer uses
only one magnet. Before we started the project, described in this report, we
surmised we needed two magnets - one on each side of the tumor. We succeeded in
our treatment of cancer with one magnet because a human being is like a magnet.
That humans are electromagnetic was suggested in 1926 by the eminent American
surgeon and electromagnetotherapist George Crile in his book "A Bipolar
Theory of Living Processes" and in 1983 by the eminent radiologist and
cancer researcher Bjorn Nordenstrom in his book "Biological Electric
Circuits: Clinical, Experimental and Theoretical Evidence for an additional
Circular System".
It is very important we have developed a new method
for curing cancer because cancer is increasing everywhere. For example: 1) In
Japan there are more than 300,000 new cases of cancer each year; 2) In the
United States the cancer mortality rate is increasing each year so that in 1986
cancer killed over 460,000 people; 3) In Sweden, during the last 20 years,
there was an increase of 52% of cancer cases reported by the Swedish
Socialstyrelsen on October 23, 1987.
In summary, when someone has cancer, in general there
are three ways of trying to eliminate the malignant tumor from the body.
Surgery is one possibility. Another possibility is to kill the cancerous cells
with radiation; that is, radiotherapy, which, of course, also is
electromagnetotherapy. The third option is to kill the cancerous cells with
drugs; that is, chemotherapy. The drawback with these treatments is that they
damage healthy cells, too.
We suggest another option: electromagnetotherapy with
the employment of supermagnets. This type of treatment does not damage healthy
cells because healthy cells have different electromagnetic potential than
cancer cells. It is a new approach to the treatment of cancer, the first since
chemotherapy began more than 40 years ago.
(The following is a report to Prof. Goesta Wollin,
Clyde, N.C. from Mr. Douglas M. Redman. Mr. Redman learned that Professor
Wollin and Dr. Erik Envy cured cancer patients in Sweden with the use of Neomax
supermagnets. He telephoned Professor Wollin saying that his mother, Mrs.
Redman, was dying of cancer. Professor Wollin sent him a Neomax supermagnet to
be used for Mrs. Redman by her physician.) . . . Part .
Curing cancer with magnets
Through thousands of clinical experiments, it has been proven that magnetic
therapy is safe, non-addictive, and there are no known harmful exposure levels.
Clinical tests have proven that magnets reduce pain. Magnets deeply penetrate
the flesh and create a magnetic field that energizes, alkalizes, and oxygenates
the blood, improving the immune system performance and the body's healing
abilities.
Dr. Albert Roy Davis, Ph.D., noted the positive and
negative magnetic polarities have different effects upon biological systems of
animals. He found that magnets could be used to arrest and kill cancer cells in
animals, and could also be used in the treatment of arthritis, glaucoma,
infertility, and diseases related to aging. He concluded that negative magnetic
fields have a beneficial effect on living organisms, whereas positive magnetic
fields have a harmful effect.
According to Wolfgang Ludwig, Sc.D., Ph.D., Director
of the Institute for Biophysics in Horb, Germany, "Magnetic field therapy
is a method that penetrates the whole human body and can treat every organ
without chemical side effects.
"Magnetic energy has a beneficial effect on blood
circulation, lymph flow, hormone production, nerves and muscles," says Dr.
Ulrich Warnke, M.D., in "Magnets to Overcome Pain."
"A negative magnetic field (north or negative
side) can function like an antibiotic in helping to destroy bacterial, fungal,
and viral infections," says Dr. Philpott, "by promoting oxygenation
and lowering the body's acidity." Both these factors are beneficial to
normal bodily functions but harmful to pathogenic (disease-causing)
microorganisms, which do not survive in a well oxygenated, alkaline
environment. These two factors are why clinical studies have proven that
magnets reduce pain.
Dr. Philpott theorizes that the biological value of
oxygen is increased by the influence of a negative electromagnetic field, and
that the field causes negatively charged DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) to
"pull" oxygen out of the bloodstream and into the cell. The negative
electromagnetic field keeps the cellular buffer system (pH or acid-based
balance) intact so that the cells remain alkaline. The low acid balance also
helps maintain the presence of oxygen in the body.
Dr. Philpott states: "A negative magnetic field
normalizes the disturbed metabolic functions that cause painful conditions such
as cellular edema (swelling of the cells), cellular acidosis (excessive acidity
of the cells), lack of oxygen to the cells, and function. A positive magnetic
field, on the other hand, can increase pain due to its interference with normal
metabolic function."
On my deathbed when pain got unbearable in an area of
the colon, I used the north side of a 4" x 5 " x " approximately
1000 gauss (magnet strength measurement) magnet against the area most all the
time. By the end of the first week the pain started reducing and by the end of
the month the pain had disappeared totally.
Today, 4000 gauss magnets are only an inch in size and
weigh about an ounce. This type of magnet was especially designed for Professor
Wollen and used on cancer patients - all successfully as mentioned in the
article "Curing Cancer With Magnets" in Magnet In Your Future
magazine.

In Discovery of Magnetic Health by George J. Washnis
and Richard Z. Hricak quote Robert Barefoot, a bio-chemist who deals with
nutrition and disease, as follows: The loss of energy from natural magnetic
fields means that cellular calcium is not maintained in an active ionized state
and so reverts to its inert molecular state and is deposited as a solid
substance on cells. The benefit of magnetotherapy is the ability of its
magnetic fields to raise pH and thereby ionize the calcium, converting it into
biologically active calcium ions.
State-of-the-art equipment utilizing magnetic
technology currently exists in Europe, where magnetic therapy is an established
method in many hospitals and doctors' offices.
Curing cancer with magnets; a case study
Patient: Norma Redman.
Age: 65.
Diagnosis: Undifferentiated small cell (Oatcell) carcinoma - lung cancer.
Medical History: Little or no health problems until present illness.
Miscellaneous: Patient smoked two or three packs of cigarettes per day for
fifty years.
In August of 1986, the patient developed a severe
cough and experienced difficulty in breathing. She visited her doctor and he
diagnosed her as having pneumonia and he admitted her to the hospital. After
further testing - C.A.T scans and x-rays - she was diagnosed as having small
cell carcinoma. A broncoscophy confirmed the diagnosis.
In September 1986, chemotherapy was begun.
Chemotherapy continued until April 1987. Then she was given ten days of cobalt
radiation directed at the brain. This treatment is necessary because
conventional chemotherapy will not kill cancer cells of the Oatcell type in the
brain. Chemotherapy was reinstated through late November and early December
1987.
In December 1987, one of her doctors told her she had
about one month to live and that they had done all they could for her. At this
time, she was experiencing severe back pain and the doctors determined the
cancer had moved into her spine. She was given radiation (5 days) and one more
round of chemotherapy. At that point she was told that any additional treatment
would be of little or no value. On December 23, 1987, she was released from the
hospital.
I visited the patient on December 25, 1987. Her
condition was as follows:
a. Mental confusion. Could not remember things told to
her longer that five minutes.
b. Patient was in severe pain.
c. Patient was on pain medication (Percoset), 2 tablets every 3 hours.
d. Patient could not stand or walk, aided or unaided.
e. Patient could not sleep through the night. Would awaken several times during
the night and require assistance.
f. Patient was depressed and exhibited child-like mannerisms.
The "Neomax" was placed on the patient with
the north polarity toward the body. After two days had passed, the patient was
only taking one pain tablet in the morning and one at night. The mental
confusion was noticeably absent and the patient stated that she had slept
uninterrupted from 9:00 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. the next day.
I visited the patient on January 2, 1988. She told me
she had been sleeping well every night, not awakening at all during the night.
She was taking very little pain medicine. Her back was still hurting when she
moved. But she stated it was more tolerable.
On January 5, 1988, the patient was moved to a skilled
care nursing home. The doctors there conferred with her oncologist about her
condition. On Wednesday, January 6, 1988, the patient told me she had no pain
medication that day and that twice that day she had walked (aided) to the
bathroom. Also, the resident doctor told her that they determined by studying
x-rays, C.A.T. scans, and by other means, that she did not have any cancer in
her spine. Instead, they thought her back pain was being caused by osteoporosis.
Further, they told her that all tests they performed on her showed no trace of
any cancer.
I talked with the patient on Friday, January 8, 1988.
Her mental condition was excellent. She stated that she was taking very little
pain medication and was in less pain than previous conversations. She has been
wearing the super magnet, as of this writing, for fourteen days and has made
remarkable progress in so short a period of time. I visited the patient on
January 9, 1988. She was able to sit up in bed by herself, could sit on the
side of the bed by herself, and could walk, unaided, to the bathroom by herself,
although I walked along beside her just to be on the safe side. She is
presently taking little or no pain medication, and no other drugs. Her appetite
is not very good, but it is improving daily. I expect to visit her again at the
end of January and I will be in contact with her by phone almost on a daily
basis.
I will continue to monitor and report on her condition
until she has fully recovered.

Supermagnets cure cancer. A conventional horse-shoe
magnet weighs about 5 kilograms and has a strength of about 4,000 gauss. A
Neomax supermagnet with a strength of about 4,000 gauss weighs only about one
ounce. Professor Wollin of Clyde, N.C., formerly with Columbia University for
36 years, is the inventor of the method of treating cancer using supermagnets.
The supermagnet hangs around the patient's neck. Cancer patients in Sweden and
America who were told by their physicians that they had only one, or at the
most two, more months to live have been treated successfully.
(End of article.)
In 1985, a conventional horseshoe magnet weighed
approximately 5 kilograms (12 pounds) and produced 4,000 gauss. Today, using a
special combination of metals, the same 4,000 gauss strength is produced by a
magnet weighing about an ounce and is approximately the size of three U.S.
quarters stacked together.
These magnets are enclosed in soft leather necklace
pouch because, according to Dr. Wollin, the north side of the magnet should be
worn or placed securely over the sternum (the hard bone in the middle of the
chest) just above the stomach cavity. To date, there have been thousands of
these supermagnets sold. In Sweden, the charge is approximately $150.00 for one
of these magnets.
Even though magnets raise the body's pH and oxygen
level within the body, many other things help. Regardless of how beneficial the
use of supermagnets may be in the treatment of cancer, a person should still
consider making major life style changes, both mentally and physically, in
order to correctly adjust their pH toward slightly alkaline (healthy) pH.
A person can increase the oxygen and alkaline levels
by using certain types of magnets. But, a person with cancer is already
extremely acidic and oxygen depleted. This situation has to be dealt with. We
feel that the magnet is just an additional method in aiding the body towards
the environment that is needed. These people should also drastically lower
their consumption of acid-causing food and liquids and increase their
consumption of alkaline promoting foods, liquids and supplements if they hope
to totally win the battle against cancer or disease.

end of January and I will be in contact with her by phone almost on a daily
basis.
I will continue to monitor and report on her condition
until she has fully recovered.

Supermagnets cure cancer. A conventional horse-shoe
magnet weighs about 5 kilograms and has a strength of about 4,000 gauss. A
Neomax supermagnet with a strength of about 4,000 gauss weighs only about one
ounce. Professor Wollin of Clyde, N.C., formerly with Columbia University for
36 years, is the inventor of the method of treating cancer using supermagnets.
The supermagnet hangs around the patient's neck. Cancer patients in Sweden and
America who were told by their physicians that they had only one, or at the
most two, more months to live have been treated successfully.
(End of article.)
In 1985, a conventional horseshoe magnet weighed
approximately 5 kilograms (12 pounds) and produced 4,000 gauss. Today, using a
special combination of metals, the same 4,000 gauss strength is produced by a
magnet weighing about an ounce and is approximately the size of three U.S.
quarters stacked together.
These magnets are enclosed in soft leather necklace
pouch because, according to Dr. Wollin, the north side of the magnet should be
worn or placed securely over the sternum (the hard bone in the middle of the
chest) just above the stomach cavity. To date, there have been thousands of
these supermagnets sold. In Sweden, the charge is approximately $150.00 for one
of these magnets.
Even though magnets raise the body's pH and oxygen
level within the body, many other things help. Regardless of how beneficial the
use of supermagnets may be in the treatment of cancer, a person should still
consider making major life style changes, both mentally and physically, in
order to correctly adjust their pH toward slightly alkaline (healthy) pH.
A person can increase the oxygen and alkaline levels
by using certain types of magnets. But, a person with cancer is already
extremely acidic and oxygen depleted. This situation has to be dealt with. We
feel that the magnet is just an additional method in aiding the body towards
the environment that is needed. These people should also drastically lower
their consumption of acid-causing food and liquids and increase their
consumption of alkaline promoting foods, liquids and supplements if they hope
to totally win the battle against cancer or disease.

Biomagnetic Therapy
Dr. Michael Tierra L.AC., O.M.D.
Magnetic energy is a structuring force of the
universe. As such, it is a reflection of the order that causes the infinite
stars and planets throughout the galaxies to revolve and spin at incredible
velocities while remaining in their respective orbits. As one of the four
fundamental forces of nature along with gravity, nuclear energy and
radioactivity, electromagnetism is equivalent in definition to the Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM) concept of Qi , or the East Indian Ayurvedic definition
of Prana . These concepts are what many in the West, regard as the life force .
Personally, I have had long occasion to experiment and
use magnets beginning with myself and then extending to family, friends,
students and patients. Two particular occasions on myself were most convincing.
Both were soft tissue injuries, one to my elbow and the other, a ligament
injury of my knee which I will describe further on.
The elbow pain stemmed from an unknown cause, perhaps
an injury or strain. It had persisted for at least 2 weeks during that time I
tried acupuncture and herbal treatments which offered only minor temporary
relief. As is well known, soft tissue injuries can take some time for repair.
It would be most helpful, however, if during that time, there was a simple,
non-invasive method to hasten the healing and relieve the pain.
I decided to experiment using magnets to treat the
problem. While I had previously heard of magnet therapy, basically that there
was a difference therapeutically between the magnet s North and South
polarities, I had no previous experience or further knowledge of their use.
When I taped a small 1000 Gauss acuband magnet directly on the skin over the
trigger point or center of the pain in my arm. I was amazed to find that the
pain almost completely disappeared within 5 minutes. I decided to experiment further,
first by removing and reapplying the magnet a few times. Each time the pain
returned when the magnet was removed and all but completely disappeared again
when reapplied. I then experimented by turning the magnet over to change its
polarity from North, which is cooling and dispersing, to South, which is
heating and building. I discovered that when the South side of the magnet was
against the skin, the pain intensified and by reversing the magnet to North, it
was alleviated.
Since that time, I have been intrigued with the
therapeutic possibilities of bio-magnetic therapy. However, I still had no idea
whether the magnet treatment to my arm was only symptomatic or could eventually
promote complete healing. Further, I found that there was discrepancies both in
print and from various distributors concerning the importance and definition of
the North and South sides of a magnet. Despite my confusion, I tentatively
began to use magnets on my patients. Because, however, I had such an unsure
grasp of any basic theoretical or practical methodology, my results were
inconclusive.
I say all this because there may be others who, like
myself, felt or presently feel unsure about the value and results of an
experience of biomagnetic therapy. Through my example they may appreciate a
further corroboration by another who has become fully convinced that
biomagnetic therapy may well be one of the safest and most powerful natural
healing methods, especially for the relief of pain ever discovered by
humankind.
My interest in magnets was rekindled a few years later
when I had a crippling soft tissue injury to the medial aspect of my right
knee. It was particularly debilitating because there were few positions either
standing, sitting or reclining that could provide relief. Having nearly all but
forgotten about my previous experience with the magnets on my elbow, I began by
using acupuncture, moxabustion (heat applied to specific acupuncture points)
and herbal poultices, fomentations and liniments. Everything helped but I still
could barely walk or find a comfortable position to either sit or recline.
I certainly was not looking forward to having to stand
and be present at a forthcoming natural products trade show that included a
promised diversion to my excited young son to a nearby entertainment park. In
desperation I remembered the all-but-forgotten magnets that I stored in a
cupboard near my bed. I systematically applied the North magnets to the trigger
points located near the site of pain around my knee. Estimating what meridians
were involved, I positioned the South magnets further up the femur and hip on
the Gall Bladder and Bladder Meridians. I found, however, that it was the local
application of the North magnets around the knee that was most effective.
Within two hours after their application, the pain was 95% gone.
Again, I decided to conduct the same experiments on my
knee that I had done a few years previous on my elbow pain, by removing and
reapplying them, changing the magnets to irrelevant locations and reversing
their polarity. My previous findings were absolutely corroborated. I eventually
discovered that I needed to wear the magnets on the trigger points around my
knee nearly continuously for about two months before the problem became
sufficiently stabilized and resolved.
After this second powerful experience with
bio-magnetic therapy, I decided to apply magnets on all my patients along with
the acupuncture, dietary and herbal therapy that was part of my normal
practice. I wanted to discover for myself the range of their effectiveness for
a wide variety of complaints. Since that time, I have found biomagnetic therapy
to be around 90% effective for the relief of pains and conditions caused by
inflammation. For examples, a woman with diagnosed symptoms of colitis, had
tried many forms of conventional and non-conventional treatment over the year
previous but was relieved with the application of magnets to her lower abdomen
within a week. Another man with arthritis in his hands and fingers with only
minimal response from acupuncture and herbal therapy used magnetic balls to
relieve and eventually remedy his condition completely. Similarly, another man
had encroaching stiffness in his fingers that was threatening to impair his
main love, playing the guitar. He also found the results he was seeking with
the use of magnetic balls. As a pianist, I can only imagine the benefit these
simply magnetic balls could be to the many who have suffered injury from
repetitive use or wrong playing.
Everyone, who had acute or chronic lower back, elbow
or knee problems found relief and in many cases, complete recovery from the
local application of magnets. Patients with asthma, found that the application
of magnets to their upper back or chest would provide them the relief they
desperately needed without any further external medication. The list goes on to
include patients with upper respiratory allergies, gastro-intestinal and
digestive complaints, migraine headaches -- all were relieved with the use of
magnets -- and the list of conditions continues to expand. Now with the
expanded methods of application using magnetized water, magnetized oils,
magnetic mattresses and mattress pads, jewelry and so forth, I am convinced
that there is no condition that bio-magnetic therapy would not be at least
helpful.
Because of my experience with traditional Eastern
systems of medicine, including Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) and East
Indian Ayurvedic medicine, I was able to tangibly experience the fundamental
energetic basis of healing with magnets described in various traditional
healing systems around the world. I could tangibly understand that the North
facing side of a magnet was equivalent in energy to the definition in TCM of
Yin, or in Ayurveda of Shakti energy. The South facing side was equivalent to
TCM Yang, or Ayurvedic Shiva energy. I also understood that the relative
strength of a magnet determined whether it was to be used as an important
energetic nutrient when in low strength (under 1000 gauss), or a high powered
therapeutic tool in high strength (over 3000 gauss) that should be used with
due respect. Essentially, like other forms of natural healing energy, if
reasonably used, magnets are very forgiving. Except for the obvious
contraindications noted, it is rare that anyone would experience anything more
than a minor discomfort or aggravation usually caused by using magnetics that
are too strong, applying the wrong North-South polarity for a given area or
generally an overexposure to a strong magnetic field. If, for instance, one
misapplies them over a wrong area, uses the wrong polarity or uses magnets that
are inappropriately too strong, there may be a period of minor aggravation and
discomfort that is easily remedied as soon as they are appropriately changed or
removed. As with herbs, acupuncture and all other systems of natural healing,
trial and error is a valid approach to biomagnetic therapy.
Science recognizes a close relationship between
electricity and magnetism. In 1820, Hans Oersted of Denmark discovered a direct
relationship between electricity and magnetism by showing that an electric
current flowing in a wire caused a nearby compass needle to be deflected.
Following the discoveries of Oersted, Ampere, the 18th century physicist whose
notable achievements were germinal to the harnessing of electrical energy,
discovered a quantitative relationship between the strength of an electric current
with the magnetic field it creates (Ampere s theorem). Noting the close
relationship between electricity and magnetism, he described magnetism as
electricity thrown into curves .
Just as the stars and planets revolve in galactical
orbits, each atom has a nucleus around which spins various positively charged
protons and negatively charged electrons that in turn generate a magnetic
field. To reiterate, health represents a balance of these positive and negative
forces described in TCM as Yin and Yang, in Ayurvedic medicine as Shiva and
Shakti , and in Western physiology as the sympathetic and parasympathetic
systems.
The current theory of free radicals as the cause of
degenerative diseases and aging, is based on the concept of a negatively
charged electron spinning out of their orbit, invading another cell which in
turn causes a cellular disruption that sends other subatomic particles off
their respective orbits. This results in cellular chaos. Biomagnetic healing is
able to passively provide a stimulus for the restoration of balance at a
subatomic level and offset the devastating domino-effect of harmful free radicals.
Because every atom generates an electromagnetic (EM)
field, we, along with all of nature, are imbued with the power of
electromagnetism. It is also possible for us to channel our innate positive
electromagnetic energy for healing both ourselves and others.
Stressing the importance of electromagnetism, Einstein
said,
we may therefore regard matter as being constituted by
the regions of space in which the field is extremely intense .....There is no
place in this new kind of physics both for the field and matter, for the field
is the only reality. (Our italics)
The mystic founder of Theosophy, Madame Blavatsky
states similarly in different terms when she describes: Matter is spirit at its
lowest level and spirit is matter at its highest level.
It is said that what may be described as matter, the
nucleus of an atom, is so infinitesimal that if we were to gather all the
nuclei of a human body, it would be no larger than a period at the end of a
sentence. Thus, modern physics theorizes that what we call matter may not be
particles at all, but the presence of an impenetrable electro-magnetic field.
Life, comprised of a complex chain of bio-chemical and
physiological processes is activated and animated by an invisible bio-magnetic
force. Apropos of this, Dr. F.K. Bellokossy of Denver Colorado, described life
as an infinitely intelligent interaction of electro-magnetic energies carried
by chemical substances.
Modern medicine has come to depend upon such high tech
diagnostic procedures as the (ECG) electro-cardiogram, the (EEG)
electroencephalogram, the (EMG) electromyogram to measure the electrical
activity in the heart, the cerebral cortex and the skeletal muscles
respectively. If there were no electrical energy in the body, such tests would
not be possible.
From the perspective of bio-magnetics, health is based
upon the individual cells of the body vibrating at a characteristic normal
frequency. Disease, on the other hand, represents an abnormal change in
cellular vibration. The therapeutic application of magnets and herbs, at the
deepest level, is based on the principle of restoring normal cellular
vibration.
This understanding should make magnetic therapy very
accessible to those who have an energetic approach to treatment and it would
include Traditional herbalism, TCM, Ayurveda and some Western holistically
oriented mind-body therapies.
MAGNETIC ENERGY: A FUNDAMENTAL EARTH NUTRIENT
The Earth s magnetic field strength is about a half
gauss.(1) While seemingly small, the magnetic field strength of gauss as a
measurement is in proportion to the total mass of the magnet. With that, a half
gauss in proportion to the size of the Earth becomes very significant. As a
matter of fact, it is essential to life.
With the exploration of space in the 1960 s, there
came increased awareness of the importance of magnetism in maintaining health,
since it was found that astronauts, beyond the protective magnetic field of the
Earth often returned with symptoms of psychiatric disturbances, calcium and
mineral deficiencies along with other physiological disturbances. Conversely,
companies who needed to conduct experiments or manufacture biological products
outside of the magnetic field of the earth were, and continue to be major
investors in the space program. Since that time, an integral aspect of space
flight research involves studying the effects of magnetic fields on living
organisms in space travel.
Part of the Earth s magnetic field is created by the
ionosphere -- a layer of air containing electrically-charged particles that
extend from sixty to a hundred miles above the surface of the Earth. Extending
some thousands of miles into space is the magnetosphere , sometimes called Van
Allen Radiation Belt, after the scientist who discovered it. This is a huge
swarm of radioactive particles that are threatening to life. If it were not for
the fact that the harmful radiation particles are trapped by the Earth s
magnetic field, life on Earth would be impossible.
The half gauss strength of the Earth seems to be in a
state of cyclic change so that over time, the Earth s magnetic poles have
repeatedly shifted and changed their location. Scientific research estimates
that these reversals occur approximately every half to one million years. The
most recent reversal occurred about 700,000 years ago. It has been documented
that the Earth s magnetic field has diminished about 50% of what it was
500-1000 years ago, with a full 5% decline recorded in the last 100 years. From
this we can appreciate the vital importance of geomagnetic energy to life.
Drs. Barnwell and Brown of the Department of
Biological Sciences, North Western University, USA, conducted a number of
experiments exposing magnetic fields on living organisms and reported that,
There remains no reasonable doubt that all living organisms are extraordinarily
sensitive to magnetic fields. The effect of magnetic fields on living organisms
continues in the USA and throughout the world but some of the most important
medically is that done by the Japanese.
MAGNETIC FIELD DEFICIENCY SYNDROME
Dr. Kyoichi Nakagawa, MD, Director of Isuzu hospital, Tokyo, Japan, has
described a pathological condition called Magnetic Deficiency Syndrome (MFDS)
(2)that causes a variety of symptoms including stiff shoulders, back and neck,
chest pains, habitual constipation and general fatigue.
He mailed questionnaires to 11,648 Japanese users of
magnets 2.5 mm thick x 5 mm in diameter with external gauss strength of 590.
Only the North magnetic side was in direct contact with the skin for treatment
in these studies. Women represented 57% and men 43% of the total with a
representative age group between 40 and 49 years.
Magnets were used for the following conditions: Stiff
neck and shoulders 45.20 Lumbago 19.00% Neuralgia 13.90% Painful muscles 12.30%
Rheumatism 1.30% Other 6.30% No reply 2.00%
Effects were usually noticed from the second to the
fourth day. No adverse effects were reported, while over 90% of the users
classified results as very efficacious, efficacious or fairly efficacious, and
105 as ineffective or not very effective.
A number of other studies were conducted with 400
subjects in 1976 by professors Akio Yamada and Shuwichi-Hirose of the Faculty
of Medicine, University of Tokyo; professor Yamada, University, Juntendo,
Tokyo; and Kyoshi Kurmskima, Kohnodai National hospital. Some tests were
double-blind placebo using a variety of different magnetic devices. Symptoms
addressed included pains in the back of the neck, shoulders, backs, arms, hands
and legs. Effectiveness was in the range of 60 to 80% within a period of 7 to
14 days. No side effects were reported.
A double-blind study by Dr. Yoshio Oay treating 80
subjects with lumbar pain using strong magnetic belts containing magnets of
1,500 gauss. Fifty subjects were given the magnetic belts while 30 received
placebos or less powerful belts of 200 gauss. All subjects using the full
strength belts evidenced marked improvement while those using weaker magnets or
placebos showed only slight or no marked improvement.
Some confuse the electro-magnetic energy generated by
power lines, computer and TV monitors, electrical wiring in our homes and
vehicles as equivalent. These, however, represent alternating current (AC)
which is deranging to normal cellular metabolism. The earth and other metallic
substances, in contrast represent a permanent magnetic field or direct current
(DC) which when used appropriately can be integrative to the sub-atomic
particles of cells.
Many factors, beside the natural cyclic waxing and
waning of geomagnetic energy contribute to the diminishing of direct current
(DC) magnetic energy to our body. Some of these are the result of interference
from the AC current of man-made electromagnetic radiation which is incompatible
with our bodies biomagnetic emanations which include television, radio, radar,
household appliances, computers, electrical wiring in buildings, nearby power
lines and other sources.
The effects of working and living in concrete and
steel structures further cut us off from the Earth s direct magnetic force. The
automobile, train, jet plane, bus and other hi-tech modes of travel are other
ways we are deprived of important natural magnetism from the Earth.
Shrinking open spaces, living high above sea level on
ground covered with concrete and asphalt and the decreasing amount of ground
water all contribute to lack of conductivity and Magnetic Field Deficiency
Syndrome (MFDS).
The magnetic energy of our planet is responsible for
the natural biorhythms of life. In Traditional Chinese Medicine these
biorhythms describe how Qi or bio-magnetic energy is concentrated in certain
areas of the body according to cycles of each day and season. It may also be
concentrated in certain areas on the Earth that inexplicably have been able to
retain their magnetic strength. These are recognized earth healing areas such
as Lourdes, France and Sedona, Arizona.
Symptoms of MFDS may be similar to a variety of
chronic conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, candida albicans and
environmental allergies. MFDS typically is associated with a general malaise
and low energy, frequent susceptibility to disease, tightness of the neck and
shoulders, fibro-myalgic body pains, forgetfulness, headaches, digestive and
circulatory problems and a general foggy feeling.
At many healing retreats that I have both attended and
conducted, we would hug a tree to experience the grounding of accumulated
unnatural magnetic distortions. While this may be impossible to scientifically
prove, anecdotally everyone who has ever hugged a tree will acknowledge a
certain feeling of well-being afterwards, characterized by a lessening of
mental and physical heaviness. Perhaps, this is another indication of an innate
need for a certain type of natural energy that is lacking in our daily lives.
How do magnets work?
Magnetic energy has such all-encompassing, powerful effects that no one
description of how they exert their positive therapeutic effects could
adequately describe all the many complex ways it effects mind and body.
However, one theory based on the concept of diseased cells losing their
magnetic equilibrium, explains how topically applied magnets are able to
support and encourage the normal functional relationship both within the
molecular structure of each cell as well as positively influencing the
relationships throughout the entire body-mind process.
Another theory is that magnets exert a powerful
attraction to the iron content in the blood, penetrating the outer layers of
skin, muscle and fatty tissue to the capillaries that feed directly into the
bloodstream. By attracting iron and perhaps other inorganic molecules to a
diseased area, circulation is increased. This is enhanced by the increase of
oxygen and other vital nutrients to the affected site that assists in healing.
The combined effect is regulating the pH of the cells and tissues, balancing, ionizing
and oxygenating them and generally relieving congestion and pain by improving
blood circulation.
Scientific research documents the following specific
physiological effects of biomagnetic therapy:(3)
It effects increasing blood and oxygen circulation
along with the nutrient carrying potential of the blood.
It is able to effect pH balance (acid-alkaline) which is often imbalanced in
disease tissues.
It positively speeds up the migration of calcium ions to facilitate the healing
of nervous tissue and bones (usually at least in half the time). Because of
this it can also help remove the pathological buildup of calcium associated
with arthritic joints.
It can powerfully influence the production of certain hormones from the various
endocrine glands.
It stimulates and fosters enzyme activity and other related physiological
processes .
If we consider that all functions of the body are essentially biomagnetic, we
can understand how each body cell down to the DNA has a positive and negative
biomagnetic field and that cell division, itself, is fundamentally a magnetic
process that occurs throughout the various tissues and organs of the body.
Physiological biochemistry that utilizes various amino acids requires biomagnetic
energy to occur.
It has been found that the pineal gland, a tiny
pine-cone shaped gland located directly in the center of the brain, responsible
for the production of melatonin, enzymes, immune function, oxidation,
carbohydrate metabolism, pigmentation by melanin and the cyclic patterns of
sleep and awakening is regulated, according to Robert Becker in his book on
biomagnetics called Cross Currents, by exposure to steady magnetic fields of
the same strength as the geomagnetic field . Since the pineal gland and
melatonin govern stress tolerance and the production of antioxidants that help
control the harmful effects of free radicals that cause degenerative disease
and aging, biomagnetics can have a very beneficial effect in helping to
regulate the pineal gland to offset the natural and unnatural disruption of our
exposure to natural geo-magnetic fields.
The following chart derived from Bengallineville s
book, Magnet Therapy: Theory and Practice outlines the various factors that are
responsible for cellular magnetic disturbances:
Extrinsic Factors Intrinsic Factors
Natural Artificial Emotional stress
Solar flares X-rays Hormonal imbalances
Sunspot activity Cobalt-60 Infectious or pathogenic microorganisms
Eclipses Radium implants Deficiencies (iodine deficiency produces thyroid
imbalances)
Moon phases
new and full moon
Nuclear plants using radioactive substances like Strontium-90 and Plutonium
Deficient or imbalanced diet
Thunderstorms Radiation from color televisions and computer monitors. Ovulation
Cosmic rays Radiations from microwave ovens. Injuries (serious)
X-rays Chemical additives in food Injurious habits like excessive intake of
alcohol and drugs.
Subsoil radiations
(geopathic zones)
Radioactive fallout from nuclear tests. Pregnancy
Certain planetary configurations Irradiated wheat and other foods. Menopausal
period
High tension cables
Sound vibrations
Aluminum vessels used in cooking.
The safety of Biomagnetic Therapy
According to my personal experience and the experience of biomagnetic
therapists and patients from around the world, magnets are corrective and
regulating and therefore have little risk of either dependency or negative
interaction with drugs. Magnets under 2500 gauss seem to be safe regardless of
their North, South polarity (nevertheless, as a kind of energetic nutrient when
used or worn daily in a mattress or shoe insole, I prefer using magnets no
stronger that 1000 gauss strength). Over 3000 gauss strength, prolonged
exposure to the wrong magnetic field polarity can create an minor imbalance in
a small few. Therefore, exposure to high strength magnetic fields should be
limited to a period of no long than 30 minutes at a time once or twice daily.
This is generally not true, however, of high powered acuband magnets which can
be left on the affected site for days providing the correct North-South
magnetic field is in use.
I once met a women who was treating herself for a year
for candida albicans and attendant symptoms, using very high strength magnets
on a daily basis. She became frightened when she discovered that her hair began
to fall out. This, despite the fact that most of her other symptoms were
alleviated. and she even claimed to feel more energetic and vital than ever.
Because the thought of losing her hair was so frightening to her, she resolved
never to get near a magnet again. One day I was gratefully surprised to find a
varied collection of high grade industrial strength magnets deposited in the
waiting room of my clinic. I later asked her what she felt about the use of
magnetic mattresses. She asserted that there was no comparison with her
unfortunate experience and that their relatively low gauss strength made them
virtually impossible to cause any significant harmful reaction.
Given the fact that it is impossible to predict what
is otherwise known as an idiosyncratic reaction that an individual may have to
practically any substance or thing, overwhelmingly the potential benefits of
biomagnetic therapy makes them well worth a try for a wide variety of
conditions.
A few positive experiences from my own clinical
experience may serve to offset any concerns or negative impressions one may
have to magnetic therapy. One was the prolonged use of high gauss magnets to
completely eliminate and control the pain of a man diagnosed with incurable
liver cancer. Because of the use of strong North facing magnets applied over
the site of pain, he was able to spend his last days with a minimum amount of
discomfort without the use of morphine or any other deadening pain medication.
Two women, one with lung and another with breast cancer were able to minimize
or completely eradicate any attendant pains in a similar way. Finally, A man
with a diagnosed brain tumor, fastened a strong neodymium magnet on a cap which
he wore for half to one hour periods twice each day. He was reexamined after a
period of several months and doctors were amazed to find that his tumor had
shrunk.
I must add, that all these patients were given
adjunctive dietary and herbal therapy which I am sure contributed greatly to
their response.
I hope that if for no other purpose than for simply
the relief of pain, magnets should become either an adjunctive with other
modalities or first therapeutic option.
Contraindications:
Despite the safety of magnets, there are some contraindications to be aware of.
First, do not use magnets during pregnancy, on those who have a history of
epilepsy, those wearing a pacemaker or other metal implants that might be
dislodged by exposure to magnets. Strong magnets should be used with care on
small infants and children, on the eyes, the brain or over the heart.
Healing Crisis Reaction:
Because magnets have such a positive effect on vascular circulation, some
individuals may experience a temporary aggravation as a consequence of the
increased discharge of toxins. Some healing crisis reactions may include
symptoms such as light headedness, itching, allergic reaction, headache,
sleepiness or a sensation of heat. When this occurs it is best to gradually
ease into their use over a period of time.
Magnets
Materials used for magnets are those whose atoms can be permanently or
semi-permanently lined up. Of all magnetic materials, an alloy comprised of
one-fifth cobalt and four fifths platinum makes the most powerful magnet. Other
materials used for magnets are Alnico magnets comprised of an alloy of
aluminum, nickel, iron, cobalt and copper. These are about 10 times more
powerful than steel magnets and 100 times more powerful than the Earth s
magnetic field. Ferrite magnets are comprised of carbonates of barium and iron.
They are very powerful and significantly cheaper than alnico magnets but have
the disadvantage of being very fragile.
MAGNETIC FIELDS
The magnetic field is the area where magnets exert their force. This is easily
determined by holding a compass near the magnet to determine if the strength of
the magnet overrides the magnetic force of the poles.
Magnetic Poles
Up until recently, scientific technical study of magnets describe the nature
and effects of the two poles of a magnet as being the same. The years of
research by Dr. Albert Roy Davis Ph.D., based on isolating and measuring the
effects of the two poles has confirmed the different reactions they produce on
living systems.
Dr. Davis was able to measure the direction of
electron spin given off and transmitted from the two ends of magnet s poles.
From this, he was able to determine that the spin of the electrons were in
reverse of each other. The electrons coming from the South pole of the magnet
cycled and moved clockwise, to the right while those emanating from the North
pole moved and cycled to the left or counterclockwise. (4)
This was confirmed from the use of complex technical
magnetometers measuring the magnetic field of Earth from space. It was
discovered that magnetic energy moves in an spiral forming the infinity
pattern. Upon leaving either the North or South poles it travels halfway
backward, clockwise or counterclockwise depending upon the exiting pole, to
reenter and rephase itself inwards where it takes on the reverse spin in the
opposite direction.
Dr. Davis was able to use a cathode ray vacuum to
photograph in color the different North and South energies emitted from a long
bar magnet. By a series of experiments first on animals and seeds and then on
various fluids and foods, he was able to observe the physical effects on living
systems. He confirmed the positive effects of the South pole energies in
promoting rapid growth, fertility and a general metabolically heating effect as
opposed to the inhibiting negative effects of the North pole that had a quieting,
soothing and metabolically cooling effect.
Using untreated seeds as a comparison guide, Dr. Davis
conducted a series of laboratory experiments on seeds and vegetables that were
first exposed to the South pole magnet. An analysis of the end products of
these plant products showed a noticeable increase in protein, sugars and oils
as opposed to the control group. In contrast, those exposed to the North pole
were lower in protein, sugars and oils than the control group.
He then studied the effect of South and North pole to
the development and growth of Earthworms. Again, worms treated with South pole
energy multiplied faster, grew more and larger than those treated with North
pole energy. The protein of Earthworms is approximately 90% on the average but
the effect of the South pole evidenced a marked increase of their protein
content. He was also able to corroborate similar results on the growth of mice
and rats.
As stated, the difference between magnetized and
demagnetized material was that electrons in a magnetized object are aligned to
go in a single rather than a seemingly randomized direction. The direction
follows the magnetic poles of the Earth between the Southern and Northern
hemispheres. (5)
Following the system described by Davis and Rawls, the
bio-North (-) pole of a magnet has the same polarity as the true geographic
North pole of the Earth. This bio-magnetic definition of North and South is in
contradistinction to that of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS).
To determine the North-South direction of a magnet,
tie a thread to the center of the magnet bar and the other end to a high place
such as a ceiling or door frame. The suspended magnet will tend to spin and
eventually position itself in the direction of geographical North and South as
is determined by a compass. Permanently mark as South the side facing the South
pole of the magnet with red paint or fingernail polish. With one marked magnet,
it can be lined up and used to indicate the polarity of all other magnets.
Another method is to align the needle of a compass to
point North. Bring one side or end of the magnet near the compass. The side of
the magnet that is able to attract the North end of the compass needle is to be
marked as North. All other magnets can be so marked and aligned to conform to
one predetermined indicator magnet.
The gauss level employed is dependent upon the
severity and duration of a complaint, together with the age and condition of
the patient. It is always best to begin treatment with a low to medium gauss
range and then increase to higher strength as necessary. On infants, young
children, the frail and elderly, use only low strength magnets.
Finally, many biomagnetic therapists believe that
magnets whose gauss measure less than 2500 can be used irrespective of their
North or South polarity. It is my experience that the quickest and most
dramatic results is when the North and South are appropriately applied
according to an evaluation of the condition to be treated.
THE CARE AND HANDLING OF MAGNETS
To prevent them from losing their power or becoming totally broken and
destroyed, magnets must be carefully handled. Dropping a magnet or subjecting
it to a sharp blow may cause it to lose much of its strength. Furthermore,
magnets subjected to temperatures in excess of 400 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit
will lose all of their energy.
U-shaped magnets need to be placed on a flat bar or
cylinder so that both ends of the magnet make contact with the metal. This is
called a Keeper and prevents the dissipation of their magnetic power. For long,
flat, wide surface magnets, bend a piece of iron, a tin can or a metal bar that
can be fastened to both ends to provide a passage of energy between both poles
and again prevent its lose into space. Try to keep different sizes and
strengths of magnets away from each other to prevent them from bleeding off
their charges.
All magnets can be stuck together but they should be
positioned so that they are symmetrical in a single row and not balled up in
any way with magnets of various sizes hanging off the ends. This is especially
true of inferior quality magnets while with higher quality industrial strength
magnets this is not a consideration.
Finally, magnets can be dangerous. The attractive force
of even two 25 pound magnets is capable of inflicting serious injury to pinched
fingers or other bodily parts that may get caught in their way. It is easier to
handle strong magnets if they are wrapped in some kind of thin soft fiber such
as a cotton wash towel.
Summary of Precautions in the Handling and Use of
Magnets
a. Remove battery powered wristwatches and any other
magnetic objects whose field can be altered by the presence of an externally
applied magnet.
b. Avoid dropping, banging or heating magnets above
700 degrees Fahrenheit as this may dissipate their strength.
c. For U shaped magnets, use a keeper to connect the
two ends when it is not in use.
d. Be careful in handling large heavy magnets as one
can injure a body part if they were to suddenly slam together from a distance.
e. If possible, do not allow different sized magnets
to remain together.
f. Keep magnets away from homeopathic remedies,
computer hard drives, recording tape, credit cards, videos and CD s to prevent
their being damaged or erased. Magnets should also be kept away from battery
operated watches, hearing aids and from individuals who have a pacemaker or any
metallic parts placed in their body.
MAGNET THERAPY
Biomagnetic therapy is used for the control of pain, to stop infections, heal
bones and scar tissue, rejuvenation of cells and balancing the body s energy
levels. It can also be effectively combined with most other therapeutic
modalities. The strength of the magnetic field chosen is based on the magnetic
strength, shape and size of the magnet selected based on the following
considerations:
duration of the ailment
severity of the condition
total area to be treated
whether the diseased tissue is superficial or deep
the patient s sensitivity
THERAPEUTIC APPLICATION OF THE South and North poles
Understanding and utilizing the unique application of
the North and South poles of a magnet is fundamental to any biomagnetic
therapeutic application.
The North pole of the magnet is cooling, sedating and
dispersing. This corresponds to Traditional Chinese medicine definition of Yin
or negative polarity.
The South polarity is heating, stimulating and
accumulating. This corresponds to the TCM Yang or positive polarity.
All descriptions of positive and negative are not
qualitative definitions but express the relationship between the opposite poles
to each other and outer phenomena.
Indications Contraindications
SOUTH Tonifying, strengthening, building, heating, Yang in nature. Can be used
for pains caused by weakness, coldness and deficiency (usually of a more
chronic and achy nature), also for hypometabolic conditions associated with low
energy, weak digestion and weak immune system. Not for acute inflammatory
conditions, bacterial infections, cancers and tumors, excess and stagnation
conditions, excess Yang
NORTH Clearing, eliminative, detoxifying, dispersing, cooling, Yin in nature.
Can be used for acute pains (sharp or burning) caused by heat, inflammation,
hyper metabolic conditions, hypertensive conditions, insomnia, nervousness,
infections and inflammations. Not for deficiency conditions, coldness, low
metabolism, weakness
SOUTH AND NORTH COMBINED When pain, infection or another condition has gotten
to a point where the body apparently lacks both the positive and negative
energies to fully recover, both poles should be applied. This can be done
either by alternating the application of North and South every 15 minutes or by
applying a number of both North and South acu-magnets simultaneously over an
area. This approach can also be used if the site of pain encompasses a large
area. This is equivalent to a deficiency of both Yin and Yang. This harmonizing
approach is one of the most commonly used because conditions are seldom
either/or. It is especially useful when a single center of the pain or disease
extends over a larger area or cannot be discerned. The disadvantage is that if
the particular site can be found and appropriately treated, positive results
are quicker.
Therapeutic application of North
The North magnetic pole is inhibiting and sedating. It slows down cellular
metabolism. Because of this, it is cooling, soothing and retarding and useful
for painful or inflammatory conditions such as:
Arthritis, spondylitis, prostatitis, lumbago, chronic
and acute headaches, bruises, injuries, and sharp pains, bacterial infections,
dysentery, skin ailments such as eczema, psoriasis and ringworm, tumors, mental
retardation, epilepsy, cataract, glaucoma, neuralgia, nervousness, insomnia and
initially on hernias.
It can be applied for the initial inflammatory
response to any injury. When a condition assumes a more chronic state, however,
one may need to switch to the more tonifying South pole to relieve symptoms.
North energies over 7000 gauss retard bacterial growth
as well as cell and tissue regeneration. In the September 1990 Journal of the
National Medical Association , it is clearly shown how the North magnetic pole
inhibits the growth of lung carcinoma cells. In general, the North polarity
tends to have a normalizing effect regardless of the length of exposure.
Therapeutic Application of the South
The South magnetic pole is heating, tonifying and augmenting and increases
cellular metabolism. It can be used for the following conditions:
Paralysis, leucoderma, alopecia, hernia (later),
asthma, tingling and numbness, to strengthen weak muscles and tissues, comatose
conditions, after debilitating illness such as tuberculosis, gastroenteritis,
scars, etc.
Because South promotes growth, it should never be
directly applied on cancerous tumors, bacterial or viral infections or
parasites. For regeneration of cells and tissues, magnets over 7000 gauss are
extremely effective.
Applying Complete North and South Pole Magnetic
Therapy
The bioelectrical force of the right side of the body
is more Yin and inhibitory. If there is a lack of the Yin-inhibitory force, the
left sided Yang-stimulating bioelectrical activity will appear to be in excess.
This represents False Yang or Yin Deficiency. It can manifests as apparent
hyperactivity with symptoms such as high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism,
palpitations, hyperacidity, etc., all within the overall context of Deficiency
and wasting. For these conditions, apply a Yang South magnet to the inside of
the right wrist to restore equilibrium and harmony.
If the Yang left-sided energies of the body are weaker
than the right-sided Yin, there will be hypoactive or apparent excess Yin
symptoms. These can include low blood pressure, hypothyroidism, sluggish bowel
movements, general lethargy, fluid retention and edema and hypoglycemia. These
conditions are treated by applying the South pole to the inside of the left
wrist.
Chronic pains, including chronic arthritic and
rheumatic pains may also require bipolar treatment. Treating large organs
systems such as the Liver and Kidneys also seem to respond better to the use of
bipolar treatment.
To speed the mending of fractures by at least half,
dual poles are used. South should be applied to the upper side of the break and
North applied to the lower side.
Magnets come in many shapes and forms. Following are
some of the more common ones that are used therapeutically used:
BI-POLAR MAGNETS AND THEIR THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS
In an attempt to utilize the combined North-South poles
various bipolar magnets have been used. In 1981, a Swiss scientist Arno Latske
introduced an alternating polarity magnet. He observed that when these bipolar
magnets were applied over areas of pain, relief and healing occurred as a
result of charged articles (i.e. electrolytes in the blood) that passed
perpendicular to the magnetic field as a result of what in physics is called
the Hall Effect. The North-South poles of the magnet were arranged in
perpendicular strips so that the optimal response occurred with blood vessels
that directly crossed the bipolar North-South magnetic strips. However, those
vessels did not cross the bipolar arrangement sufficiently had the least
therapeutic effect.
Next, a German scientist Horst Baermann, in an attempt
to improve the Hall Effect, developed a magnet with concentric North-South
strips The problem is that if the blood vessels did not cross near the center
of the circle, there was little benefit from the alternating current.
In an attempt to circumvent the shortcoming of the
previous two designs, an American engineer, Vincent Ardizzone, of Nu-Magnetics,
Inc., NY, developed a checkerboard design that accommodate the random design of
blood vessels. While the previous two designs had only two sides per pole
adjacent to opposite poles, the four-sided checkerboard pattern significantly
increased the possibility of a blood vessel being exposed to cross alternating
poles. This design also allowed for the magnet to be cut into various shapes
and sized without intervening gaps.
Acu Band Magnets
These are usually 0.16 dia x 0.06 thick and come with 0.8 dia Band-Aids. They
are available in varying Gauss strengths and different alloys, usually in
packets of 12. The most effective in my experience are acuband magnets that
range from 3000 to 9000 gauss. Some are marked with a grove to indicate the
North side, while others have a tiny protrusion, indicating the South.
One or more are taped directly over or near the
affected site or acupuncture points, using either the North or South polarity
as appropriate. Magnets with opposite polarity can be applied directly opposite
or distally along a line or acupuncture meridian located nearest the affected
area. North or South polarity can be used over acupuncture points and/or
centers diagnostically related to the primary symptom.
For instance:
For acute colds and flu tape North facing magnets to
Large Intestine 4, Large Intestine 11, Triple Warmer 5 and Governor 14.
For chronic back ache that is not inflamed, tape South
facing magnets over Bladder 23 and Kidney 3. One can apply a North directly
over the acute trigger points of pain and further down the Bladder meridian
over Bladder 40 (aka 54) behind the knee.
For insomnia apply a North magnet to Yin Tang point
between the eyebrows and two North magnets to one of the two Anmien points
behind the ear.
For fatigue and low energy apply South magnets to
stomach 36, conception vessel 6 or 4 and bladder 23 on the lower back. In
addition, one can also apply a North magnet to large intestine four on the hand
to help clear any Heat and toxicity.
For promoting the healing of fractures apply
alternating South and North magnets directly along the affected area. These can
be simultaneously used with North to reduce any inflammation in the area.
These are only a few of many possibilities based on a
knowledge of acupuncture meridians and points. It is a good idea to have a
razor available to shave off any hair that may prevent the Band-Aid from
sticking. Acu-magnets can be left on for a week, taken off briefly and
reapplied if they are still needed. If there is any prolonged aggravation or
discomfort, they should be removed or reverse the North-South polarity.
Large Block Magnets
These are iron ferrite magnets which can be purchased from industrial magnet
manufacturers and come in various sizes and very high Gauss. Since these are
made of fragile ceramic, they are not easy to handle. In general one should
learn the technique of sliding them apart or together when needed and keep
delicate fingers out of the way in case they inevitably snap together.
Smaller ones can be ordered in various sizes and
dimensions and are available in dual color to easily distinguish between the
North and South polarity. The strength of these magnets may be deceptive. They
are usually available from 1000 to 3600 gauss or higher. Because they cover a
larger area, even a lower strength magnet can exert a powerful therapeutic
effect. Two magnets can be used to attach to clothing, North or South as
needed.
The highest Gauss magnets are Neodymium (NeoMax)
magnets. They are composed of iron, boron and neodymium, one of the rarest
metals on Earth and their strength range from 2000 to 3600 gauss. Their use was
first promoted by the International Medical Research Center based on the
discovery and work of Professor Goesta Wollin s development of a Universal
Cancer Spiral Theory. Professor Wollin discovered that spirals are found
throughout nature, down to the basic shape and structure of DNA. In 1987, the
Swedish press widely reported Professor Wollin s discovery of the Universal
Cancer Spiral. He claimed that when supermagnets are applied to cancerous
tumors, the magnetic spirals, which are larger, would superimpose themselves
and destroy the smaller cancerous cell spirals.
Professor Wollin s round neodymium magnets were
specifically developed to treat cancer. Usually they are sold in pairs. The
North sided magnet is intended to be placed directly over the cancer or tumor
while the South is worn over the thymus located on the sternum between the
breasts. This is used to help stimulate the body s immune system. While the
North magnet directly over the site of the cancer can be left on for a
prolonged period, the South over the thymus should only be applied twice daily
for no longer than 30 minutes.
These larger magnets are available encased in plastic
and color coded so the two polarities are easily determined. The large
neodymium magnets or stronger ferrite magnets are indicated in prescriptions
for treating most acute and chronic conditions.
Bio-magnetic therapy also consists of systematically
laying strong magnetic bars over affected areas for a duration of approximately
30 minutes to an hour two or three times daily. For many conditions the
application of several acu-magnets will be more convenient and often as
effective, especially for less serious conditions.
Magnetic Mattresses and Mattress Pads
Magnetic mattresses, mattress pads and pillows are designed to provide a sound
and restful sleep. The result is that we awaken with more energy, alertness and
fewer aches and pains. For those who are bedridden, they powerfully help to
prevent bedsores. The best utilize 800 gauss which is safe for ongoing nightly
use. They are firm and made with the finest quality patented rubberthane with a
grid of nub-like protrusions that stimulate vital energy centers and aid in
promoting better circulation and lymphatic flow while sleeping.
The pillow is firm and in addition to the magnets, has
a strip of ceramic tiles that help to redistribute heat away from the head.
This is because of the belief that it is best to have the head cool and the
feet warm when sleeping. Many with chronic neck and shoulder aches and those
who snore excessively or suffer from sleep apnea (stopped breathing while
sleeping) have received significant benefit from the magnetic pillow.
Because the Japanese have had a long history of
appreciation for natural health products it is estimated that one out of eight
Japanese use a magnetic mattress sleep system.. This is further reflected in
the lead the Japanese have taken in researching magnetic and other natural
magnetic products.
A few individuals may experience temporary discomfort
when first sleeping on a magnetic sleep system. This is because with greater
circulation, more toxins are being flushed out at an increased rate. For these,
it may take gradual periodic use over several days or weeks. The time spent
acclimatizing to it is worth the investment to one s personal health and
wellness and provides a significant passive contribution long term health and
wellness. In the resources section at the end of the book there is a list of
distributors and suppliers of these and other magnet products.
Magnetized Water
The proclaimed healing powers of various naturally occurring baths at places
such as Lourdes, France, Sedona, Arizona and Jesus Chahin s well in Tlacote,
Mexico, occurs in areas where there is reportedly higher naturally occurring
magnetic energy. One way to naturally magnetize water is to run it through 30
feet of sand where it will emerge negatively poled because of the effect of
minute quartz sand crystals. This water emerges saturated with oxygen that is
able to kill germs, build bodily strength and support the immune system. Water
so treated will show a change of temperature, surface tension, viscosity and
electrical conductivity. Just as chemicals change weight after being subjected
to magnetic fields, so does water. More hydroxyl (OH-) ions are generated to
form calcium bicarbonate and other alkaline particles. Normal water has a pH
level of around 7, while magnetized water can reach 9.2 pH after exposure to a
7000 gauss strength magnet. This has been shown to be enough to destroy cancer
cells.(6)(Barefoot and Reich).
Cancer is practically unknown to the Hopi Indians of
Arizona and the Hunza of Pakistan, so long as they drink from their local water
supply which is rich in rubidium and potassium in the case of the Hopi water
and rich in caesium and otassium for the Hunza people. The salts of these
alkalinizing minerals have the effect of counteracting toxic acidity by raising
body pH. Cancer cells are destroyed with an enriched oxygenated environment.
By standing a container of water on either the South
or North pole of a magnet for a period of approximately 24 hours, one can imbue
it with specific Yin, sedating and dispersing properties or Yang, tonifying and
coalescing properties. This water can then be taken internally throughout the
day. Water can also be potentized by tying or taping South and North pole
magnets to opposite sides of a rectangular bottle or jug.
Herbal teas intended for tonification can be augmented
by setting the cup of tea on a South Magnetized surface for an hour or so
before drinking. If the tea consists of dispersing, anti-inflammatory or
sedative herbs, then the North pole of the magnet should be used.
Special magnetic cups and containers for making
magnetized water are available from various magnetic product suppliers and
Japanese sources.
Magnetic Insoles
There are magnetic insoles that fit in the shoes. One side has small bumps to
provide added foot reflexology stimulation to the feet and the other side is
smooth. The bipolar magnets are not only in the bumps but throughout the entire
surface.
The feet and legs are sometimes called the second
heart because return circulation from this area of the body is vital to health.
Besides being highly effective for all foot problems (such as diabetic and
other neuropathies) regular use of magnetic insoles increase energy and
vitality throughout the day. Like the magnetic bed, wearing these insoles
constitute an effective passive long term investment in one s health.
Magnetic Balls
These are remarkable because while they have a very low gauss strength, when
the balls are rapidly revolved or manipulated they shoot their electrons out
for some distances.They can be rolled on the body to relieve injury and pains.
They can also rolled in the palms to relieve stiffness and arthritic pains in
the hands and fingers.
Electro magnets
These are used by practitioners and hospitals for chronic disease including
bone and scar tissue healing, sciatica, arthritis, and sports injuries. Sports
therapists were among the first to introduce the use of medical magnets. The
combined use of electromagnetic machines with permanent magnets has been found
to reduce by half the time required for healing injuries, sprains, tendon and
muscle injuries. These machines are especially effective for treating large
areas of pain.
Magnetic Jewelry
Necklaces can be used for diseases of the chest, throat, neck, shoulders, sore
throat, asthma, irregular heart beat and angina. Bracelets and rings are worn
for controlling blood pressure as well as hand and arm pain. They are available
in many designs ranging from 1600 to 5000 gauss.
Magnetite or Lodestone
These are naturally occurring magnets associated with a type of iron ore.
Generally the Gauss rating is low, from 300 to no more than 700 Gauss. Since
ancient times, jewelry in the form of necklaces, bracelets and rings were worn
for various therapeutic reasons. The Egyptians believed the magnet had a divine
power and wore them to relieve headache, gout, dropsy and to maintain, vitality
and health. Cleopatra (69-30 BC) supposedly wore a polished lodestone magnet on
her forehead to maintain her beauty.
BIOMAGNETIC TREATMENT OF THE WHOLE BODY
Biomagnetics can be used to treat the body systemically as oposed to their use
over specific acupuncture points or what are known as pain or trigger points.
There is a difference in the energy between the upper
from the lower, the right from the left sides of the body. The area from the
chest upwards tends to reflect the more positive, outgoing energy. With
imbalance, this can manifest to extreme with symptoms ranging from skin
eruptions, mental excitation, eye, ear, nose, throat and lung problems and
hypertension. For this reason the North magnet is more frequently indicated in
this area to disperse the excess. The lower area of the body, below the umbilicus,
is often over extended upward and needs South or coalescing, grounding energy.
The right side of the body is the more positive side and usually gets the North
magnet while the left side which is more negative, receives the South magnet.
Thus the following configurations have been adopted for systemic treatment:
Diseases above the navel: Place the right hand on the
North magnet and the left hand on bio South for 15 to 30 minutes.
Diseases below the navel: Place the right foot on the
North pole and the left foot on the South.
Diseases on the right side of the body: Right hand on
the North pole and right foot on the South pole.
Diseases on the left side of the body: left hand on
the North pole and left foot on the South.
Diseases of the digestive system: right hand on the
North pole and left foot on the South.
Miscellaneous Use of Magnets
Negating the toxic effects of chemicals, sprays and preservatives from food and
water.
Using a strong neodymium magnet, pass it over the food
or water 7 times with the North or negative facing downwards.
Follow this by passing the positive South magnet 7 times to energize the food
and water and make it easier to digest and absorb.
Purifying house water with 2 or 4 magnets
Fasten one or two (depending on the size of the pipe)
negative, North magnets against the water pipe leading into the house.
Approximately 2 inches higher, fasten one or two positive South magnets. These
can be taped to the water pipes.
According to Dr. Albert Roy Davis, water treated in
this way showed little appreciable difference in terms of mineral content,
solids, pH or other factors. Testing for the relative amounts of hydrogen and
oxygen it was found that the oxygen level was lower in the treated water as
compared with the untreated. While hydrogen amounts were the same, the hydrogen
ions were altered to present a much higher degree of activity. This was checked
repeatedly with the same findings.
Water treated with either North or South magnetic
field tended to reduce the nitrogen in the water, preventing it from going
stale. This made it safer for both human consumption and for aquarium fish for
a longer period.
Potentizing seeds
Dr. Davis discovered that seeds exposed to the magnetic force fields of the
South pole for anywhere from 6 to 200 hours, when planted resulted in an
improved germination and growth result, hardier plants with higher yield of
fruit or vegetable products. Exposing seeds to the influence of the North
magnetic polarity field resulted in thin, tall plants with poor yields. A
simple method is to presoak seeds by placing them in a dish or cup with water
on top of a South facing magnet for 24 hours or so before planting.
Fuel Economy
In addition to the above, there are various magnetic devices that can be fixed
to the combustion system of automobile engines to economize fuel production. A
five star resort in Kawaii, Hawaii, installed magnets on the natural gas system
of their multimillion dollar units and found that they were able to save
$60,000 a year because the gas burned cleaner.

It should first be made clear that ARIZONA UNIPOLE MAGNETICS and the AUTHOR of
this website DO NOT MAKE ANY CLAIM THAT BIOMAGNETS HEAL. But it should also be
noted that the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) device detects cancer by
seeking and mapping damaging SOUTH (positive) magnetic energy within the body.
It is a fact that people are using Negative Field
Magnetic Therapy to starve cancer. Research has and is showing very promising
results.

Negative Magnetic Field Therapy
Below are scientifically proven and documented facts
about this therapy.
Cancer can not exist in a continuously applied strong
negative magnetic field.
In his book "The Magnetic / Oxygen Answer for Cancer, 2001 ed." Dr.
Philpott quotes the following statements and documentation which support his
theory:
"The positive magnetic field encourages cancer
growth. The negative magnetic field inhibits cancer growth."
Source: "Evaluating Perspectives on the Exposure Risks from Magnetic
Fields" from "Journal of the National Medical Association" 82:9
September 1990
"The biological response to a static positive
magnetic field is acid-hypoxia. The biological response to a negative magnetic
field in alkaline-hyperoxia. Cancer implanted on the skin dies in response to a
static negative magnetic field."
Source: "The Magnetic Blueprint of Life" written by Albert Roy Davis
and Walter Rawls, published by Acres USA, Kasas City, MO, 1979
In 1982, Robert O. Becker and G. Sheldon documented
that a static positive magnetic field is a signal of stress and a negative
magnetic field is present during healing.
Source: "The Body Electric, Electromagnetism and the Foundation of
Life" published by William Morrow and Company, NY., 1986
In 1996, Raymond Raylman documented that a strong,
prolonged magnetic field killed cancer.
Arthur Trappier, in 1990, documented that it is the
negative magnetic field that kills cancer.
Dr. Philpott Concludes:
IT IS AN ESTABLISHED FACT THAT A PROLONGED SUSTAINED
STATIC MAGNETIC FIELD PRODUCES CANCER CELL REMISSION.
Magnetic therapy of cancer replaces the
acid-hypoxia-dependent transferaseenzyme catalysis (fermentation) producing ATP
with alkaline-hyperoxia oxidoreductase enzyme catalysis (oxidation reduction)
of producing ATP. Cancer cells are thus robbed of their ability to produce ATP
by fermentation. Cancer cells die because they can not produce ATP in an
alkaline-hyperoxia medium.
Acid-hypoxia is the central casual factor in
degenerative diseases in general and cancer development in particular.
The initiating causes of of acid-hypoxia are many,
such as, toxic reactions, physical injury, local or systemic stress, prolonged
emotional stress, nutritional deficiencies and so forth.
Cancer cells die in the presence of a continuous
static negative magnetic field. Both "peer reviewed" and non-peer
reviewed publications confirm the death of cancer cells from a static negative
magnetic field of sufficient gauss strength and sufficient prolonged duration.
A static magnetic field is the breat of life for human cells and the kiss of
death for invading microrganisms and cancer cells. Definative negative magnetic
field therapy for the treatment of cancer is justified and recommended by both
peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed evidence. .
Importance Of Polarity
Effects of Magnetic Energy on Living Metabolic Systems
The worlds leading authority Dr. William H. Philpott
states in his Biomagnetic Handbook "The application of both a positive and
negative magnetic field at the same time in the same area does not serve a
useful purpose."
He is basically talking about bipolar magnets which
account for about 95% of all magnetic therapeutics sold today.

.Present Day Observations on Magnetics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variations in the earth's magnetic field are important to all living beings on
the planet. Scientists are aware that this field is in a constant state of flux
as it is influenced by the solar winds, shifts in the magnetic core, and the
presence of ferromagnetic substances in the earth's crust.
Current research shows that the earth's field
periodically waxes and wanes, and even reverses itself entirely. Though the
reasons for this are not currently known, geological evidence indicates that
the strength of the field gradually grows weaker, reaches a minimum or
disappears entirely, and then builds again the opposite direction. This results
in a reversal of the North and South magnetic poles. Scientists estimate that
such reversals take place about every one-half to one million years. The most
recent reversal took place about 700,000 years ago.
Other scientist have documented that the earth's
magnetic field has degraded about 50% over the last 500 - 1,000 years, with a
full 5% decline being recorded in the past 100 years. Calculations are that if
this degradation continues at its present rate, there will not be a sufficient
magnetic field to support life within 1500 years.
Interestingly, certain locales on Earth have
inexplicably retained the strength of their magnetic fields. Among them, areas
such as Sedona, Arizona and Lourdes, France, are destinations to which
countless persons travel annually to experience feelings of well-being and to
seek healing.
Much research and interest is now directed toward the
electrical nature of life. Scientists have established beyond any doubt that
all living cells are electrical in nature. The functioning of the cells and
nervous system of every living being is based on direct current (DC) and pulsed
DC energy. Without this energy, there is no life. Each individual cell
possesses a positive electrical charge at its nucleus and a negative electrical
charge on its outer membrane.
This positive-negative polarization allows each cell
to function in an orderly and healthy manner. As cells perform their normal
bodily functions, this electromagnetic charge wears down. The body attempts to
revitalize these "tired" cells by sending pulses of electromagnetic
energy from the brain through the nervous system to recharge the cells and
strengthen the polarized field.
The energy can be diminished or blocked conditions
found throughout today's environment, resulting in a host of modern maladies.
These can range from headaches and fatigue to tumors and disruption of both
circulatory and digestive systems, along with other specific and non-specific
ailments.
Noted researchers, including the U.S. Surgeon General,
warn of the harmful effects of the "electric smog" from televisions,
radio, radar, electric blankets, waterbed heaters, household appliances,
excessive exposure to computers, power lines, and other sources.
Sensitive instruments show that man's mushrooming
alternating current (AC) electronic technology is creating interference with
the earth's natural magnetic fields. Within the typical home or work
environment, the AC radiation is sufficiently prolific enough to overpower the
earth's natural magnetic field by up to 16 times. In today's buildings, the
iron and steel alone can deplete the magnetic field by more than half.
The earth produces its own direct current (DC)
magnetic pulses that support the natural biorhythms of all living things.
However, as mentioned earlier, scientists are becoming increasingly alarmed
that the present-day magnetic field of the earth has and continues to diminish
significantly.
A radiation researcher at Arizona State University
believes that the ordinary 60 cycle household AC electricity and higher
frequencies such as those from radio broadcasts and radar can cause memory
loss, headaches, changes in heart rates, blood chemistry and general malaise.
European scientists report such daily exposure is
cumulative and contributes to sluggishness, headaches, and both digestive and
circulatory problems. At the University of Colorado in Boulder, Dr. Nancy
Wertheimer has reported increased cancer among children in "high
current" dwellings.
According to Dr. William Adey, an American cancer
researcher, this "electronic smog" can block the brains
electromagnetic signals to the cells, thereby undermining the body's
disease-fighting ability and promoting tumors.
Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D., one of America's pioneers
in the field of research on regeneration and electrical currents in living
things, has achieved what have been termed "miraculous" results in
healing with biomagnetic therapy. He has gone so far as to speculate that
electro-pollution, in addition to causing some cancers, may be contributing to
the onslaught of such maladies as Reye's syndrome, Lyme disease, Legionnaire's
disease, and AIDS.
Kyoichi Nakagawa, M.D., one of the world's foremost
authorities on magnetism and its therapeutic effects on the human body, claims
that the continuing degrading of the earth's magnetic field, combined with mans
electronic environment, is responsible for a broad range of ailments which he
labels as the Magnetic Deficiency Syndrome. These ailments include stiffness of
the shoulders, back pain, neck pain, uncertain low back pain, chest pains for
no specific reason, habitual headache, heaviness of head, dizziness, insomnia
for uncertain reasons, habitual constipation and general fatigue.
I think it is worth noting, that in Japan, one out of
every five households has some Natural Magnetic Field and/or Far Infrared Field
product to assist in offsetting some of the difficulties cited.

North or
South or East or West Magnetism?
By Buryl
Payne, Ph. D.
What and how to
apply magnetic forces to the human body or other biological
systems need
not be debated. The question can usually be answered by
reasonably
objective methods and some general principles.
About fifteen
years ago, it was discovered that the body's muscles will
strengthen or
weaken, upon the application of external or internal stimuli.
Many
chiropractors developed and perfected this technique and it came to be
called
"applied kiniesology", or more simply, "muscle testing".
In its
simplest form, the person being tested holds one arm out in a
horizontal
position and resists while a tester applies an even pressure near
the wrist to
force the arm down. When various stimuli are applied to the
body, such a
colored lights, topical applications, foods, vitamins, mineral
preparation,
or homeopathic remedies, are held in hand or taken orally, the
arm muscle
will be noticeably weaker if that substance is not good for the
body, or
stronger if it is good for the body.
Walter Rawls,
Jr., patented the technique of using muscle testing to determine
the activity
level of glands and organs by the use of permanent magnets. This
system was
further developed by Drs. Richard and Mary Broeringmeyer and used
to indicate
which magnetic polarity ought to be applied to reflex points, or
at the sites
of injury, as well at a particular gland or organ, to bring it
back to
optimum functioning.
Years of
experience by the Broeringmeyers, myself and other magnetotherapists
have validated
the use of this system in determining what magnetic strength
and polarity
is most effective for the body. When pulsed magnetic fields are
used, muscle
testing will also indicate the optimum pulse repetition rate as
well as the
optimum intensity. Usually pulse rate and gauss strength are not
sharply
resonant parameter, but polarity is clearly indicated.
The technique
is described in the authors's two books (see references).
The process
of muscle testing is not completely objective, although when there
is a large
difference it is usually unequivocal. Its use has been expanded
and refined
to include the testing of substances that might be applied on to
the body, to
the body, or ingested for various healing techniques, and for
psychological
diagnosis.
However
muscle testing can be affected by the state or intention of the tester
as well as
the testee. When the difference between a "yes" or a "no"
is
slight,
subjective factors become more intrusive.
Muscle
testing also requires the assistance of another person. Although a
couple of
muscle strength techniques for self testing have been devised, they
are quite
subjective.
Now, a more
objective means has been developed, called the Electronic Muscle
Tester. This
research instrument measures the pressure exerted between a
finger and
thumb, indicating the result on a meter. In practice of
magnetotheraphy,
one applies on pole of a magnet, makes a strength
determination,
then applies the other pole, making a second test.
The
Electronic Muscle Tester is reasonably objective, after a little practice,
and can be
easily self-administered. It can also provide some indication of
relative
intensity of a stimulus or treatment. With the use of this
technique,
there is no need to argue about east and west and north and south
magnetic
polarity, on simply asks the body.
For example,
in the case of a wound to the body, the first reaction of the
body is
usually inflammation. Treatment with the bionorth polarity is
indicated by
muscle testing. However, after the inflammation and pain are
reduced,
muscle testing will indicate that treatment with the biosouth pole
is called
for. This will stimulate cell growth and healing. The alert
magnetotherapist
will watch for this transition, for to continue to treat with
only bionorth
would probably slow down the healing process. But in any case,
the use of
muscle testing, no matter what means is used, provides the answer
in about 90%
of the cases.
When muscle
testing does not give clear results, yet magnetotheraphy is
clearly
called for, there are four general principles which may be used as a
guideline.
These are:
1. The
biosouth pole stimulates and promotes healing,
growth and
activity.
2. The
bionorth calm, sedates, reduces inflammation and
retards
growth.
3. If it
feels good, keep doing it! If it doesn't help,
or makes the
condition worse, wait a short time and
then apply
the polarity.
4. Don't
treat tumors, cancers or infections with the
biosouth
pole.
The different
types of action which have been found to be associated with each
pole is
briefly summarized in the following table:
BioSouth
Polarity
Stimulates
Tonifies
Increases
Circulation
Dilates
Increase
Acidity
BioNorth
Polarity
Sedates
Inhibits
Cools
Soothes
Slows
Reduces
Inflammation
Shrinks
Tumors
Decrease
Acidity
To simply expose
each person to the same polarity, or to decide in advance
which
polarity they should use, would be an error. Ideally each person should
be able to
self test and set the parameters for his or her own benefit. The
technology
now exists to do that.
Magnetism is
mysterious to most people. This makes it more difficult to use
in
magnetotheraphy and other applications.

Biomagnetics:
The Magnetic Answer
By William H.
Philpott, M.D.
The Value of
Using Negative Magnetic Energy in Diabetes Mellitus
(Contains
some professional-level material.)
Central to
the non-insulin dependent diabetic (Type II diabetes)
is insulin
resistance. Over the past twenty years, I have tested
several
thousand patients for disordered carbohydrate metabolism in
relationship
to single-food test meals. Several hundred of these
were also
tested for insulin response to single-food test meals
which were
also correlated with the degree of carbohydrate disorder.
The primary
diagnosis of these patients was a wide spectrum of
physical and
mental disorders, including several hundred maturity-
onset
diabetes cases and a few insulin dependent juvenile diabetics.
From these
studies, solid evidence emerged that the insulin
resistance of
Type II non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is
produced by
maladaptive reactions largely to foods and, to a lesser
extent,
common environmental chemicals.
There is a
routine clearance of insulin resistance as well as the
carbohydrate
disorder by avoidance of the foods and substances
evoking the
maladaptive reactions, which consist of an array of
Page 1
physical and
emotional symptoms as well as higher-than-normal blood
sugar
response.
The
carbohydrate disorder, of brief duration, and the chronic
carbohydrate
disorders justifying the diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus
Type II
behave alike. Therefore, it is concluded that Diabetes
Mellitus Type
II is simply an extension of these lesser carbohydrate
disorders.
Both are readily reversed by avoidance of the
maladaptive
reactive substance. Thus, initial avoidance (usually
three months)
and later spacing by rotation with a frequency
(usually of
four days or more) the symptoms and carbohydrate
reaction,
both the minor and major carbohydrate disorders and the
insulin
resistance, is initially corrected and remains corrected.
Unfortunately,
there is a low level of awareness of the ecologic
causes of
insulin resistance carbohydrate disorder. The stress of
obesity has
been highlighted for its significance since some 80% of
diabetics at
the time of their onset are obese. This obesity
certainly is
a significant stress that could be corrected. However,
surprisingly,
the insulin resistance and the carbohydrate disorder
was corrected
immediately by avoidance and spacing before there was
any time for
weight reduction to have occurred.
It is a
strange fact of scientific medicine that this is so
little known
despite the fact that a statistical verification has
been
published in the right place, that is, the Journal of Diabetes.
For years, it
has been the custom to consider the presence and level
of hormones
and enzymes to be the producer of biological reactions,
without any
consideration of an energy source making such reactions
possible.
This belief in spontaneously occurring biological
responses is
no longer tenable now that we understand the role of
electromagnetics
as the energy that governs biological responses.
Specifically,
it is the energy of magnetism which makes
biological
responses possible. For years, it was customary to
consider
magnetism as one unit of energy. However, it has been
demonstrated
conclusively that magnetism is two energies THAT HAVE
OPPOSITE
BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS when these energies are separated. It
is the
balance between these two energies that governs metabolism.
Magnetism is
a push and pull system. The CLOCKWISE spin of a
positive
magnetic field PUSHES and the COUNTERCLOCKWISE spin of the
negative
magnetic field PULLS. This can be illustrated by the
energy of a
moving object such as a car. The front end of a car
pushes while
the back end of a car pulls, yet the moving car is one
unit of
energy, however, with two opposite effects.
It also
should be understood that negative magnetic fields and
positive
magnetic fields are both magnetic energy with 180 degrees
opposite
response in biological systems. Life energy is the balance
between these
two systems. An example is acid-base balance. The
positive
magnetic pole is acidifying and the negative magnetic pole
is
alkalinizing in terms of biological response to single magnetic
fields from a
unipoled magnet.
Biological
life has a balance between acidity and alkalinity.
There is
evidence that atheromatous plaques are the result of amino
acids
crosslinking sulphur and fatty acid bonds when the pH of the
blood drops
below normal. There is clinical evidence justifying the
Page 2
conclusion
that a negative magnetic field keeps the pH buffer system
intact, thus
preventing crosslinking and also that thecrosslinking
can be
reversed by a negative magnetic field.
Another
important issue is the demonstrated evidence that the
positive
magnetic pole is inflammatory- evoking and the negative
magnetic pole
is anti-inflammatory and inflammatory resolving.
Understanding
the oppositeness of biological responses evoked by the
separate
positive and negative magnetic fields is critically
important,
because with this knowledge, exposure of tissues to
single
magnetic poles can provide a predictable, governing
capability
over the biological responses being evoked in those
tissues.
It has been
my custom to routinely correlate saliva pH with
maladaptive
reactions to foods and chemicals. These reactions are
routinely
acid. They can be controlled by a negative magnetic
field. Inflammation
and an associated acidity can be controlled by
exposure to a
negative magnetic field. How can we understand the
cause of
insulin resistance being caused by maladaptive reactions to
foods,
chemicals and inhalants?
The
formulation is on this order:
these
maladaptive reactions, whether they be allergic,
addictive,
toxic or otherwise unexplainable inflammatory
reactions,
cause an inflammation edema of cells and whole tissue
groups to
occur.
Insulins'
assignment is to carry blood glucose through the cell
wall into the
cell. A cell and its membrane that is swollen
cannot make
proper use of insulin, thus the blood sugar remains
in the blood
and is not transferred into the cell.
When these
cells or tissues are placed in a negative magnetic
field, the
inflammatory edema is corrected and insulin works as
it should.
Therefore, not only should we use avoidance and
spacing of
maladaptive reacting substances, but also tissue
exposure to
negative magnetic field energy to make a correction
of the
insulin resistance in maturity-onset diabetes mellitus.
Exposure to
negative magnetic field energy ahead of a meal has
been
conclusively demonstrated as materially reducing the
chances of a
maladaptive reaction to foods.
Maladaptive
reactions to most environmental substances are
essentially
the same process as maladaptive reactions to foods. If
and when a
reaction does occur, it can readily be corrected by
placing those
reactive tissues in a negative magnetic field. The
inflammatory
reactions occurring due to the diabetes mellitus
disease
process reduce oxygen to tissue, encourage invasion of
microorganisms
(viruses, fungi and bacteria), produce inflammation
of arteries
with atheromatous plaque buildup and create many other
tissue and
nerve degenerative disease processes of diabetes
mellitus.
However, the
most important thing we can understand is that this
diabetes
mellitus disease process exists because there is an
imbalance
between the positive and negative magnetic field energies
Page 3
where
positive magnetic energy has the ascendancy over the negative
magnetic
energy. Direct tissue exposure to negative magnetic energy
can do much
to correct this magnetic energy imbalance disorder.
DIAGNOSTIC
FORMAT
Testing blood
sugar one hour after meals of single foods is the
most
important test. Physical or mental symptoms are also examined
at the same
time. Only about a third of the foods that produce
symptoms also
produce a high blood sugar. All maladaptive reactions
are
considered important and serve as indicators of the need for
initial
avoidance and later spacing on a four-day, diversified
rotation
basis.
Before
starting deliberate food testing, it is necessary to go
through five
days of either fasting or preferably the infrequent
eating of
foods. During this five day avoidance period, it is
important to
be monitoring the saliva pH, and if the saliva pH drops
below 6.4,
then it is important to take sufficient soda bicarb
frequently
enough to keep the saliva pH at about, and preferably
above, 6.4.
It can also
be helpful to provide during the first three days for
intravenous
Vitamin C (12 .5 grams), B-6 (100mg), B-5 (200mg),
Calcium
(250mg) and Magnesium (250mg).
It requires a
month of four meals per day to go through the
deliberate
food testing. It is well, but not always necessary, to
have the
usual classical examination for inhalants. The inhalants
are not
usually highly significant. It is largely the reactions to
food that is
significant.
An
insulin-dependent diabetic cannot be tested this way and the
foods must be
tested otherwise than by deliberate food tests. It is
significant
to run IgG food tests and honor the evidence of IgG
allergic
reactions to foods. It should be understood, however,
that initial
maturity-onset diabetics become insulin dependent only
after a long
period of degeneration. Two-thirds are not insulin
dependent,
even though they are taking insulin.
This can soon
be discovered as a person tries the five days of
avoidance.
Regular insulin can be used to cover the insulin needs
when it is
demonstrated that this is necessary. It is important to
study the
diabetic for nutritional disorders of vitamins, minerals,
amino acids
and essential fats. Quantitative studies for these
should be
done. It is also important to do functional studies for
B-6 by the
Tryptophan Loading Test and the EGPT. Folic Acid needs
should be
examined by the FIGLU Test and B-12 needs by the
Methylamalonic
Acid spillage of the urine. It can be demonstrated
that there
usually are enzyme disorders by studying assays for ESOD,
MAO and lipid
peroxide.
This helps
explain the persons weakness and reduced ability for
processing
toxins. These tests also serve as a way to monitor
improvement
during treatment. If there is any historical reason to
examine for
toxins, they should be examined for, especially spillage
of lead in
the urine. The infectious state should be assessed. This
especially
includes viral infections, including Herpes Simplex,
Page 4
Epstein-Barr,
Cytomegalo, HHV-6 and Coxsackie virus. These can be
examined for
antibody levels to determine current activity.
Candida
should be studied by culture from the vagina, the rectal
area, the
stool, the mouth as well as antibody studies. Both the
citric acid
cycle and urea cycle are disordered in diabetes
mellitus. To
test for the rise in ammonia caused by the urea cycle
disorder, it
well to test both arterial and venus ammonia two hours
after an 80%
protein stress meal.
DIABETES
COMPLICATIONS
It has been
said that to understand diabetes is to understand
disease.
Virtually any metabolic system or any organ can
deteriorate
with diabetes. Micro-organism infections flourish in
diabetes.
Atherosclerotic development is accelerated in diabetes.
Muscle waste
(amyotrophia), nerve degeneration (neuropathy) and
varied
inflammatory reactions develop in diabetes.
Negative
magnetic energy can be quite valuable in treating many
of the
complications of diabetes mellitus, especially such as
infections,
pain, atherosclerosis, etc. An elderly man with gangrene
of a foot was
undergoing EDTA chelation which was not adequately
handling this
problem. The gangrenous foot was so severe that the
foot was
scheduled to be surgically removed in one week.
The negative
pole of a 4 X 6 X 1/2", 3950 guass ceramic magnet
was placed
twenty-four hours a day on the sole of the infected foot.
Within one
week, the improvement was so substantial that the foot
was not
removed. An elderly, deteriorated diabetic man with diabetic
neuropathy
had severe burning pain in his feet for which he had
found no
relief. Each foot was placed on the negative poles of a 4
X 6 X
1/2", 3950 gauss ceramic magnetic. In a few minutes, the pain
left. He
remained pain free for several hours. When the pain
returned, it
was again relieved with the negative magnetic field.
Surprisingly,
after a few days of treatment, the pain did not
return.
At seventy, a
man with atherosclerotic heart disease had a
multiple
by-pass operation. At seventy-two, his heart pain
returned. He
was unsteady on his feet and would stumble, his speech
was thick, he
would get lost in even familiar surroundings and he
was
chronically depressed. At seventy-four, he started magnetic
therapy
treatment by sleeping with magnets at the crown of his head
and a magnet
over his heart during his waking hours. When seen a
week later,
his symptoms had disappeared. At one month, he was
observed to
have no pain in his heart, steady on his feet with no
shuffling or
stumbling, speech was distinct, he was smiling,
socially
assertive and there was no evidence of depression.
TREATMENT
FORMAT
Of prime
importance is the initial avoidance of foods, chemicals
and inhalants
that evoke symptoms and/or disordered carbohydrate
metabolism.
Minor reactive foods can be returned to the diet within
six weeks and
major reactors, as noted, usually within three months.
Ninety-five
percent of the foods to which a person has been
demonstrated
to be reactive can be returned to the diet on a once-
Page 5
in-four-day
basis rotation without the reoccurrence of symptoms
and/or
hyperglycemic reactions. Interestingly enough, this also
includes free
sugars. The sugars need to be separated into their
respective
original sources for the purpose of rotation such as
corn, cane,
beet, maple and honey, which needs to be separated
according to
where it was gathered.
A person may
react to a honey from their own locality but not to
a honey from
a locality away from where they live. It is also
important
that the honey not be heated. The digestive enzymes in
honey are
observed to help prevent the maladaptive inflammatory
reaction. It
is of interest to note that seldom does a maturity-
onset
diabetic react to maple sugar.
It is of
prime importance to keep the excess of biological
positive and
the deficiency of negative magnetic energy in balance.
This is
achieved by one-half hour exposure to negative magnetic
fields ahead
of a meal, one hour before going to bed and exposure of
the crown of
the head while asleep, and by relieving symptoms when
they occur.
The
atherosclerosis that develops in diabetes can materially be
helped with
negative magnetic energy. There is substantial clinical
evidence that
atheromatous plaques are dissolved by prolonged (three
to six
months) direct exposure to negative magnetic field energy.
Furthermore,
the pain of local hypoxia due to atherosclerosis is
relieved by
direct exposure of the painful area to a negative
magnetic
field. The mental confusion, disorientation and depression
of cerebral
atherosclerosis is remarkably reduced or even completely
relieved by
sleeping at night with negative magnetic energy at the
top of the
head.
Neuropathy
pains in the feet can be remarkably relieved by
placing the
feet on the negative pole of a 3950 gauss, 4 X 6 X 1/2"
ceramic
magnet. Gangrene of the feet has also been successfully
reversed with
this same magnet. Infections (fungal and bacterial)
are treated
with twenty-four hour negative magnetic field exposure
until the
infection has disappeared.

area.
Spleen : A 4
x 6 x 1/2" on left side of back, rising the long way
from lower
edge of rib cage.

plastiform down the spine. A 2 x 1-3/8 x 1" cube on anterior
neck on each
side of larynx can be held in place with an elastic
bandage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
During sleep:
To initiate
sleep, it is well to use a 2 x 5 x 1/2" magnet on the
sternum.
Four 4 x 6 x
1/2" magnets in a carrier holding the magnets upright
one inch
apart within three inches of the top of the head.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

bra cup). Do
not use with a pacemaker.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
For Symptoms:
Use
appropriate magnet over the symptom and with sufficient duration
and frequency
to reduce symptom, such as pain, inflam-mation,
infection,
edema, etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
MAGNETIC
POLARITY DEFINITIONS USED IN THIS ARTICLE
This is to
avoid the semantic confusion when referring to north and
south poles.
Negative
magnetic polarity energy:
This is
identified either as the side of a flat-surface
magnet with
poles on opposite sides or as the end of a bar
magnet that
registers negative (-) on a magnetometer. This
is also the
same energy as the true physical north magnetic
pole of the
earth.
This is
opposite to the north seeking pole of a compass
needle, which
was originally wrongly named north pole, when,
in fact, the
north seeking pole of a bar magnet (compass
needle) is
south pole, since opposites attract.
Positive
magnetic polarity energy:
This is
identified either as the side of a flat-surface
magnet with
poles on opposite sides or as the end of a bar
magnet that
registers positive (+) on a magnetometer.
Page 7
This is also
the same energy as the true physical south
magnetic pole
of the earth. This is the same as the north
seeking pole
of a compass needle. A positive compass needle
pointing
north, which was misidentified as north pole by
navigators,
is in fact a south pole seeking the north pole of
the earth.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This follows
the recommendations and use of several authors,
especially
those interested in the biological responses to
magnetism,
electricity and ionization and provides the consistency
of parallel
biological responses to the specific separate pole
and/or energy
of positive and negative electricity, magnetism and
ionization.
Negative
parallels are the negative pole of a DC circuit, negative
pole of a
magnet and negative ionization. Biological responses to a
negative
magnetic field, negative electric pole and negative
ionization
are parallel.
Positive
parallels are the positive pole of a DC circuit, positive
pole of a
magnet and positive ionization. Biological responses to a
positive
magnetic field, positive electric pole and positive
ionization
are parallel.

KUPS KOMMENT:
Dr. William
Philpott has been a pioneer in orthomolecular psychiatry
and medicine.
No longer in private practice, Dr. Philpott devotes
his time to
raising health consciousness through his writings and
teachings as
a seasoned speaker at health and medical meetings
throughout
our country. He also has been appearing on various radio
talk shows.
Dr. Philpott has written and sent to your editor several
articles on
Biomagnetics that are going to be published regularly in
HC! I find
that he writes with a great clarity and understanding of
his topics. I
have been a student of Dr. Philpott since the early
1970s when I

The following
is a very basic introduction to the incredible
researches of
Albert Roy Davis and Walter Rawls. Davis is no longer
living, but
Rawls currently lives in Florida around Jacksonville.
We highly
recommend the purchase of the following books detailing
the
researches of these two brilliant investigators.
Magnetism and
its Effects on the Living System
Explains for
the first time how magnetism affects your life and
the life of
all living systems around you. The result of years
of
investigation into the laws of magnetism, it explains the
discovery
that a magnet has not one effect on the living system
but TWO
EFFECTS, each supplied by the two forms of energy
transmitted
from each pole. You or any other qualified person
can reproduce
the projects in this book. (Illustrated)
The Magnetic
Effect
In this book,
Davis and Rawls present and discuss biomagnetic
experiments
and research that have been successfully duplicated
by members of
the orthodox scientific community. The authors
reveal the
factual, natural basis of applied biomagnetic
energies and
add greatly to the understanding of this new and
exciting
field. The computer-exact and reproducible findings in
this work
apply to the treatment of such conditions as
arthritis,
cancer, glaucoma, sexual problems, and aging.
The Magnetic
Blueprint of Life
Written with
forcefulness and precision, this is a comprehensive
guide to the
effect of magnetism upon the air we breathe, the
food we eat,
the exercise we take. It is an eloquent plea to
the
scientific community to reconsider the significance of basic
magnetism...."the
most important energy in Nature."

BioMagnetics
Part 1
by Jerry W.
Decker
with
information from "The Magnetic Effect"
by Albert Roy
Davis and Walter C. Rawls
One of the
most important series of experiments ever done and yet
still not
widely known, were those carried out by Albert Roy Davis
in
conjunction with Walter Rawls. These experiments are FUNDAMENTAL
Page 1
to an
understanding of magnetic forces and are to this day not being
used widely
because many have never heard of them.
They found
that each pole of a magnet has SPECIFIC effects that are
quite
different from those of a full magnet where both poles are
applied
simultaneously. These polar effects are deemed "mono-polar"
for one pole.
The poles spin in opposite directions and have
opposite
properties.
Specifically,
North Pole energies cause mass to contract and
condense,
rotating in a CCW direction, while South Pole energies
cause mass to
expand and dissipate, rotating in a CW direction.
Also, North
Pole energies have alkaline properties while South Pole
energy is
acid. North pole energies tend to collect fluids while
South Pole
energies dissipate fluids. North pole energy is referred
to as
negative because it reduces or attracts, while South pole
energy is
referred to as positive because it expands and dissipates.
Since
magnetic monopole magnets are not available at just any Wal-
Mart store,
they chose to use the longest possible bar or cylinder
magnets they
could acquire which would allow for the greatest
separation of
the two opposite energies.
It was found
that use of a North Pole would provide an energetic
environment
which would cause cancer cells to contract and die out.
This
energetic environment also has other healthy applications as
detailed in
their many books.
I had the
pleasure of visiting with Walter Rawls one afternoon at
his office in
Jacksonville, Florida several years back. We
discussed
many things including Keely, of which he had never heard.

Should you
wish to carry out your own experiments with magnets as
blazed by
these pioneers, here are some helpful tips.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
CORRECT POLE
IDENTIFICATION
First, you
need to understand how to correctly identify the polarity
of any
magnet. In Davis/Rawls own words:
"The
North pole of a magnet seeks a South pole; likewise, a South
pole seeks a
North pole. The North pole of a magnet is NOT the
North-SEEKING
pole, nor is the South pole the South-SEEKING pole.
In fact, the
North-SEEKING pole of a magnet is ACTUALLY the South
pole! The
South-SEEKING pole of a magnet is the North pole. The
rule to
remember is OPPOSITES ATTRACT and SIMILARS REPEL.
Test a magnet
for correct usage by identifying the separate poles
correctly.
Using a bar or cylinder magnet, tie a thread around
the exact
center of the magnet, with the thread having a loose
end.
Page 2
Tie the loose
end of the thread to any stationary overhang that
allows the
magnet to turn without hindrance in space. When the
magnet stops
turning, the end of the magnet pointing in the
direction of
the earth's North pole is the South pole of the
magnet. You
may need a simple compass to determine the earth's
North pole
direction.
After you
have determined the South pole of the magnet, mark that
pole end with
red fingernail polish or paint. Once you have one
magnet
properly identified for North and South poles this magnet
can be used
to IDENTIFY the North and South poles of OTHER
magnets.
(They use the color RED to indicate danger and thus
avoid it for
biological experiments. The reason being that since
it causes a
swelling of tissue, the fluids flow more freely, it
accelerates
life and growth. If you have a bacteria or disease,
it will also
ACCELERATE its growth and so can be quite
dangerous.)
For example,
if we bring the South pole of any magnet up to
another
magnet's pole, a REPELLING force shows that the pole of
the unknown
magnet is the South pole. An ATTRACTING force shows
that the
unknown pole is the North pole.
You may wish
to purchase a small inexpensive magnetometer. The
sensitive
needle of this instrument moves in one direction or the
other
depending on the separate magnetic pole in close vicinity.
The law of
magnetism is a PRIMARY law of nature:
Like forces
REPEL - unlike forces ATTRACT.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ESTIMATING
FIELD STRENGTH
Magnetic
field strength is measured in units called gauss. Since
magnets are
not sold with this value printed on them and gaussmeters
are
expensive, you need a way to determine the approximate field
strength.
Magnets are
generally sold by their LIFTING power. That is, a
horseshoe
magnet is offered as having a lifting power, when placed
against a
piece of heavy metal, of 2 pounds to 25 pounds to 50
pounds,
depending on the size, type, or kind of magnet.
As a guide to
the approximate gauss of commercial magnets, consider
the
following:
A magnet
having a lifting power of 2 pounds may vary from 500 to
600 gauss
units;
a lifting
power of 5 pounds may vary from 900 to 1200 gauss;
a lifting
power of 25 pounds is usually around 2000 gauss;
with 50
pounds lifting power, 3500 to 4500 gauss.
For more
precise measurement, an equipment aid, such as a
magnetometer,
should be employed.
Care must be
taken to properly determine which pole is North and
which is
South, based on the above criteria.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
When I was
visiting with Walter in Florida, he very kindly gave me
an assortment
of magnets and books as well as an interesting meter
that is used
to measure the field strength AND POLARITY of a magnet.
Page 3
This meter
allows you to quickly and accurately determine what pole
is North or
South. It also has instructions for helping to
determine the
field strength. The meter sells for $50 and is a
quick way to
VISUALLY determine the polarity of any magnet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
CARE AND
HANDLING OF MAGNETS
To prevent
breakage and loss of magnetic power, you should never
drop or
strike the magnet with a sharp blow. Not only can it chip
but it can
also lose magnetic energy.
Magnets
should never be stored in a hot location. Most magnets lose
ALL their
power at temperatures from 400 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
The loss
occurs at the CURIE point, where the magnetic domains are
no longer
aligned and become chaotic.
After using a
magnet, you should place both ends of the magnet
against a
structure of flat metal. This will allow the magnet to
maintain its
original strength. Such a structure is called a
"keeper."
Magnets should be kept away from each other. If placed
where the
poles of separate magnets repel, there could be a
"bleeding-off"
of the energy. A loss of energy in this manner would
be rapid.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WHY YOU
SHOULD NOT USE ELECTROMAGNETS
Very
effective and powerful magnets are made by passing electrical
energy
through a coil of wire having a metal, iron, or steel core.
However,
there is a difference between the magnetism produced in
this manner
and the magnetism from a solid state bar or metal
composition
magnet.
Magnetism HAS
A FREQUENCY. It also has motion. The rate of
vibration
depends on the size, length, width, and power of the
magnet. Solid
state composition magnets, such as metal, iron and
steel, are
CONSTANT in their rate of vibration DEPENDING on their
structure. An
electromagnet, however, may present a number of
different
types of vibrations.
Any kind of
electromagnet has many turns of insulated wire. Each
turn of this
wire presents so many lines of magnetism. Actually, we
have
discovered that these lines of force are really CABLES of
force, as
explained in our earlier publications. (See RAWLS1.ASC
and
RAWLS1.GIF on KeelyNet)
However, a
coil wound a certain number of turns has a different
frequency
from a fixed metal or composition magnet. As the coil
heats, the
resistance to the flow of current INCREASES. Here we
have a SLOW
DROP in magnetic lines, or cables, of force to a RISE IN
FORCE,
depending upon the wire and core materials used for
construction.
Therefore, the vibrations supplied by the
electromagnet
are NOT AS CONSTANT as those from the metal or
composition
magnet.
Our research
has revealed that size, width, and overall length of a
magnet
GOVERNS FREQUENCY in electrical electron vibrations. This is
a discovery
not known by the general scientific community, because
wee have not
published our scientific materials on this research
finding. We
are working on this discovery in the establishment of
provable laws
that we will disclose when completed. We feel
confident
this future disclosure will open new avenues that neither
we nor the
general scientific community could properly comprehend at
this time.
(printed in The Magnetic Effect in 1975)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I asked
Walter about this frequency business with magnets and at
that time, he
would not disclose how the measurements were made as
it was
proprietary to their company, BioMagnetics International.
There are
over 36 international patents based on the Davis/Rawls
discoveries.
Also at the
time I spoke with Walter, he said they had developed a
couch that
could DIAGNOSE problem areas in the body with an accuracy
of 99%. It
uses magnets to create a response in the body to
indicate an
infected or diseased location. This response is
described in
the books listed above and has to do with a contraction
of tissue
when in the presence of a North pole energy.
It is
interesting that the Floyd (Sparky) Sweet Vacuum Triode uses
magnets that
are "tuned" to the 60 cps frequency. This allows the
device to
pull in space energy at a frequency that requires no
alteration to
run off the shelf devices. We also understand he has
"pulled"
as much as 3000 watts of free energy directly from this
space energy
source, also called the ZPE or hyperspace or virtual
flux. The
magnets are put under a tremendous stress by placing like
poles against
one another, then binding them together, this
effectively
creates a giant magnet with spatial stress bubble. All
that is
listed on KeelyNet as SWEET1 through SWEET4 and the diagrams
are listed as
VTAPAK.ZIP.
The device
also appears to be LOCALE DEPENDENT, meaning that it
works better
in some areas than others. To our knowledge, no one
has yet
publicly admitted to successfully duplicating the Sweet
device.
We are told
Sweet is under a Secrecy Order by the United States
government
that forbids his discussing or working further with his
own
discovery. If he'd only "slip" a copy of the plans out, we'd be
very happy to
distribute them across the computer networks and to
many other
researchers who would make it a reality for all.

Magnetics -
Part 1
The orthodox
version as taught in our schools
William
Gilbert, court physician of Queen Elizabeth I, was the first
to study
magnets from a scientific viewpoint. Gilbert discovered
that the
Earth was a giant magnet by mounting a magnetized needle so
that it could
pivot freely in a vertical direction (known since as a
"dip
needle") so that the north pole dipped toward the ground. The
earth was
modelled by a spherical lodestone which showed that the
needle would
behave exactly the same way as the earth when held over
the
"northern hemisphere", which is where Gilbert was at the time of
his
experiment. These researches can be checked out in his work
entitled DE
MAGNETE.
Scientists
have long speculated that the Earth might have a gigantic
iron magnet
at its core. Modern studies have shown the central core
to be molten
which discounts the magnet theory due to the phenomenon
known as the
"Curie temperature". When iron is heated, it loses its
strong
magnetic properties. This occurs at 760 degrees Centigrade
(for iron).
The temperature at the Earth's core is CALCULATED to be
at least 1000
degrees Centigrade indicating there is NO magnetic
field at the
core. However, as the metal cools, it would become
magnetic.
The
"Curie temperature" was discovered by Pierre Curie in 1895.
Cobalt and
nickel, also ferromagnetic (ferro = iron), lose their
magnetic
properties when exposed to high temperatures. Nickel at
356 degrees
Centigrade and Cobalt at 1075 degrees Centigrade. At
low
temperatures, certain other metals are ferromagnetic.
Dysprosium
becomes ferromagnetic at -188 degrees Centigrade.
Magnetism is
a property of the atom itself. In most materials the
atomic
magnets are randomly oriented, so that most of the effect is
cancelled
out. Weak properties are however detectable and are
referred to
as "paramagnetism." The magnetic strength is referred
to as
"permeability." Vacuum has a permeability of 1.00.
Paramagnetic
substances range between 1.00 and 1.01.
Nickel has a
permeability of 40, cobalt of 55, while iron is in the
thousands.
Magnetic "domains" are tiny areas about .001 to .1
centimeters
in diameter, and are where atomic magnets line up to
Page 1
reinforce one
another. This reinforcement produces strong fields
within the
domains.
In
unmagnetized iron, the domains are randomly oriented, thus
cancelling
out one another's effect. When the domains are brought
into line by
action of another magnet, the iron is considered
magnetized.
The
reorientation of domains during the magnetism process produces
clicking and
hissing noises which can be detected by proper
amplification.
This phenomenon is termed the "Barkhausen effect"
after the
German physicist, Heinrich Barkhausen.
In
"anti-ferromagnetic substances", such as manganese, the domains
also line up,
but in alternate directions. This cancels out most of
the
magnetism. Again, above a particular temperature, substances
lose this
anti-ferromagnetic effect and becomes paramagnetic
(attractive
to magnetism).
Michael
Faraday wound a coil of wire around a segment of an iron
ring and a
second coil of wire around another segment of the ring.
When he
connected the first coil to a battery, a momentary induced
current could
be detected in the second coil. The galvanometer
(current
meter) showed a positive increase as the magnetism rushed
in when the
power was switched on. When the battery was switched
off, the
collapsing lines of magnetic force again cut across the
wire of the
second coil, causing a momentary surge of electricity in
the opposite
direction of the first flow. This was the first
"transformer."
Physicist
Walter Maurice Elsasser has proposed that the rotation of
the earth
sets up slow eddies in the molten iron core, circling west
to east.
These eddies have the effect of PRODUCING AN ELECTRIC
CURRENT, also
circling west to east. Just as Faraday's coil of wire
produced
magnetic lines of force within the coil, so does the
circling
electric current in the earth's core. An internal magnet
is created
with a north/south axis. This accounts for the earth's
magnetic
field, oriented roughly along the axis of rotation, so that
the magnetic
poles are near the north and south geographic poles.
The north
magnetic pole is off the coast of northern Canada about
one thousand
miles from the actual geographics North pole. The
South
magnetic pole is near the Antartica shoreline west of Ross
Sea, again
about one thousand miles from the geographic South Pole.
Interestingly
enough, the magnetic poles are NOT DIRECTLY OPPOSITE
EACH OTHER on
the globe. A LINE PASSING THROUGH THEM DOES NOT PASS
DIRECTLY
THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE EARTH.
The deviation
of the compass needle from the "true North", (the
direction of
the geographic North Pole) varies irregularly as one
travels east
or west. The compass needle shifted on Columbus' first
voyage which
he hid from his crew lest it excite terror in them that
would force
him to turn back.
Modern
physics texts teach that North Pole energy is an inflow while
South Pole
energy is an outflow. The North pole of a magnet is the
"north-seeking
pole" of a bar magnet which points toward the
geographics
North pole.
Page 2
In 1580, the
tilt or declination of the magnetic field was measured
at 11 degrees
East, 0 degrees in 1657, 25 degrees West in 1820 and
is currently
DECREASING with a value of about 7 degrees West in
1972.
The North end
of a magnet attracts the South end of another bar
magnet, so we
say that in magnetics, LIKE POLES REPEL AND UNLIKE
POLES
ATTRACT. This is caused by the interaction between the moving
and spinning
orbital electrons which are bound to the nuclei. Also,
the radical
differences between iron and copper are due to the
possibility
of cooperation between oriented domains in the iron.
Therefore,
ALL magnetic charges can ultimately be described in terms
of moving
charges.
Modern
efficient magnet coils use wires of a superconducting alloy
(cooled below
the Curie transition temperature.) A typical
commercially
available magnet uses an alloy of 75% Nb - (Niobium)
and 25% Zr -
(Zirconium) cooled to 4.2 degrees Kelvin. Such a wire
of only .01
inch diameter carries 25 Amperes with absolutely no
Joule
heating.
The
"Right-Hand Rule" is demonstrated in the diagram on the left.
If you
picture your right hand grasping the shaft with the thumb
pointing up,
the positive current will be flowing in the direction
of your
thumb. (SEE BIOMAG3.GIF)
The fingers
of your right hand would then indicate the direction of
the magnetic
lines of force which will be CCW if looking DOWN ONTO
the
elliptical flux lines.
Modern
magnetics teaches that the lines of magnetic flux enter from
the North
Pole and exit from the South Pole. These lines bow out
into space
from the RADIATING SOUTH POLE to rejoin the CONDENSING
NORTH POLE.
There are
theories which posit the existence of a MAGNETIC MONOPOLE.
This would be
a magnetic mass with ONLY A SOUTH POLE OR ONLY A NORTH
POLE. This
postulated phenomenon has yet to be witnessed under
laboratory
conditions although there have been reports in isolated
instances.
(over the past few years, we received a copy of a patent
showing a
configuration of magnets which form a SINGLE monopole,
either north
or south depending on the orientation of the 6 magnets
which
comprise the structure, they are arranged in an X,Y,Z axis
with a common
pole pointing toward the center)
In the next
issue of the PLENUM, we will go into the research
findings of
Albert Roy Davis and Walter Rawls. Here we will being
to see a
potential conflict when attempting to define spin as CW or
CCW. It is
entirely dependent on the PERSPECTIVE OF THE VIEWER.

Electric,
Magnetic And Other Field radiation
Effects On
Your Health
by
James Behr
Lately, a lot
of reports have been flying around, still unconfirmed,
as the
experts will tell you, about electric and magnetic fields and
perhaps other
forms radiation being dangerous to your health.
The biggest
exposure you get from these fields are from your T.V.
or video
display terminal (VDT).
There are two
types of field intensities VLF (very low frequency)
and ELF
(extremely low frequency).
You could get
antiradiation screens to combat this but they only
work on
electric fields at the forementioned frequencies but it is
the magnetic
field that seems to be the culprit for all the health
concerns.
Not to say
that electric fields are by no means non-hazardous as the
current
controversy over the above ground electric power lines will
contest or
the sleepiness in subways that is thought to be caused by
the third
rail electric field.
The type of
health concern is not one of catching a cold due to
these fields
but disruption on the molecular level and the
disprution of
DNA reproduction causing mutations or cancer.
Let's take
the brain, the brain is composed of millions, perhaps
billions, of
neurons. Neurons work by electrical stimulus. As we all
know (or some
of us anyway) magnetic fields cause current to flow
(among other
things) and this includes electric fields which is a
form of
magnetism. Imagine passing a very strong field say in the
subway and
now imagine on the neuron level.
The field
will have a profound affect on the stimulus of these
neurons
either activating them or dulling them which brings me back
to the
sleepiness a lot of people seem to suffer when they get into
the subway.
DNA may even
be more at risk by the a field's influence on essential
Page 1
enzymes for
DNA construction causing the DNA system to malfunction
and be
diverted from the original "designer's" plan.
This is all
from two types of Wavelengths on a spectrum and they
should be a
great cause of concern for all. But this leads me to
think: What
about the other Wavelengths?
Right at this
minute, thousands of waves are passing thru the body
from radio
and t.v. transmissions and thousands of others sources.
what are they
doing to the body? Not that I want to cause worldwide
panic but it
does make one wonder.
Of course the
experts tell us that all of this can neither be denied
nor confirmed
so you will have to draw your own conclusions. As for
me, I've
taken no chances.
I have on my
radiation suit to protect me from the other
wavelengths,
I'm sitting more than 28 inches from the t.v. and VDT
with a
grounded antiradiation shield and the back of the t.v. and
VDT encased
in lead to absorb stray waves. This may seem a bit
excessive but
like I said I'm taking no chances. Wait, isn't lead
poisonous!?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Vangard
note...
The subtle
energy system of the body are known to be highly
sensitive to
both electric and magnetic fields. When these
fields become
resonant with particular components of living
systems,
phase shifting and excess amplitudes can induce changes
not
necessarily of benefit to the tissues affected.
The DNA/RNA
replication cycles are especially sensitive to such
artifically
applied electric and magnetic fields. The hydrogen
bonds which
hold the DNA staircase together are very easily
broken. This
is referred to as "denaturation" and can allow the
wrong amino
acid to form in a wrong position on the staircase.
This, in turn
eventually leads to mutations and a host of other
symptoms. We
refer you to DNAMAST1 and DNAMAST2 for more
information
regarding the DNA chains and how they operate.

Triune Force
Flows
In our
various studies, we always keep in mind the claims of John W.
Keely. One of
these studies is into the work of Albert Roy Davis
and Walter
Rawls, pioneer researchers into the effects of magnetic
fields,
particularly those deemed "mono-polar".
The basic
effect they discovered (and which is not credited to them
even today)
is that North Pole and South Pole magnetic energy has
an exactly
opposite spin as well as EFFECTS.
Specifically,
North Pole energies cause mass to contract and
condense
while South Pole energies cause mass to expand and
dissipate.
Also, North Pole energies have alkaline properties while
South Pole
energy is acid.
Since
magnetic monopole magnets are not available at just any Wal-
Mart store,
they chose to use the longest possible bar or cylinder
magnets which
would allow for the greatest separation of the two
opposite
energies.
It was found
that use of a North Pole would provide an energetic
environment
which would cause cancer cells to contract and die out.
This
energetic environment also has other healthy applications as
detailed in
their many books.
I had the
pleasure of visiting with Walter Rawls one afternoon at
his office in
Jacksonville, Florida several years back. We
discussed
many things including Keely, of which he had never heard.
During that
meeting, I made reference to the picture now listed as
RAWLS1.GIF
here on KeelyNet and specifically Keely's idea that ALL
FORCE FLOWS
consisted of 3 separate flows.
If you will
note, the magnetic field pattern takes on the form of
ropes of
force which have triune points similar to tetrahedrons.
Walter was
surprised that anyone had noticed that and we went into
some detail
as to Keely's claims. He was quite impressed and
indicated
that there were several interesting anomalies which he and
Page 1
Davis had
discovered yet which were not published. These were
considered
proprietary information which he could not discuss.
Needless to
say, my curiosity was peeked yet he would not budge.
Despite that,
Keely says that these three forces were HARMONICALLY
related and a
proper understanding of these relationships would show
how a variety
of effects could be produced, ranging from levitation
to
disintegration to instantaneous explosions.
(Note this
was discovered and applied in Keely's lab from 1872 to
1898, long
before Einstein, Quantum Physics, Dirac, QED, etc.)
The
RAWLS1.GIF image is one we have wanted to place on KeelyNet for
some time now
to further illuminate the many cross correlations
regarding
Keely's claims and which we find from so many disparate
sources.

The following is a very basic introduction
to the incredible researches of Albert Roy Davis and Walter Rawls. Davis is no
longer living, but Rawls currently lives in Florida around Jacksonville.
We highly recommend the purchase of the
following books detailing the researches of these two brilliant investigators.
-----------------
"Magnetism and its Effects on the Living System"
Explains for the first time how magnetism
affects your life and the life of all living systems around you. The result of
years of investigation into the laws of magnetism, it explains the discovery
that a magnet has not one effect on the living system but TWO EFFECTS, each
supplied by the two forms of energy transmitted from each pole. You or any
other qualified person can reproduce the projects in this book. (Illustrated)
-----------------
"The Magnetic Effect"
In this book, Davis and Rawls present and
discuss biomagnetic experiments and research that have been successfully
duplicated by members of the orthodox scientific community. The authors reveal
the factual, natural basis of applied biomagnetic energies and add greatly to
the understanding of this new and exciting field. The computer-exact and
reproducible findings in this work apply to the treatment of such conditions as
arthritis, cancer, glaucoma, sexual problems, and aging.
-----------------
"The Magnetic Blueprint of Life"
Written with forcefulness and precision,
this is a comprehensive guide to the effect of magnetism upon the air we
breathe, the food we eat, the exercise we take. It is an eloquent plea to the
scientific community to reconsider the significance of basic magnetism...."the
most important energy in Nature."

BioMagnetics
Part 1 by Jerry W. Decker with information from "The Magnetic Effect"
by Albert Roy Davis and Walter C. Rawls
One of the most important series of
experiments ever done and yet still not widely known, were those carried out by
Albert Roy Davis in conjunction with Walter Rawls. These experiments are
FUNDAMENTAL to an understanding of magnetic forces and are to this day not
being used widely because many have never heard of them.
They found that each pole of a magnet has
SPECIFIC effects that are quite different from those of a full magnet where
both poles are applied simultaneously. These polar effects are deemed
"mono-polar" for one pole. The poles spin in opposite directions and
have opposite properties.
Specifically, North Pole energies cause
mass to contract and condense, rotating in a CCW direction, while South Pole
energies cause mass to expand and dissipate, rotating in a CW direction. Also,
North Pole energies have alkaline properties while South Pole energy is acid.
North pole energies tend to collect fluids while South Pole energies dissipate
fluids. North pole energy is referred to as negative because it reduces or
attracts, while South pole energy is referred to as positive because it expands
and dissipates.
Since magnetic monopole magnets are not
available at just any Wal- Mart store, they chose to use the longest possible
bar or cylinder magnets they could acquire which would allow for the greatest
separation of the two opposite energies.

Should you wish to carry out your own
experiments with magnets as blazed by these pioneers, here are some helpful
tips.
-----------------
CORRECT POLE IDENTIFICATION
First, you need to understand how to
correctly identify the polarity of any magnet. In Davis/Rawls own words:
"The North pole of a magnet seeks a
South pole; likewise, a South pole seeks a North pole. The North pole of a
magnet is NOT the North-SEEKING pole, nor is the South pole the South-SEEKING
pole.
In fact, the North-SEEKING pole of a
magnet is ACTUALLY the South pole! The South-SEEKING pole of a magnet is the
North pole. The rule to remember is OPPOSITES ATTRACT and SIMILARS REPEL.
Test a magnet for correct usage by
identifying the separate poles correctly. Using a bar or cylinder magnet, tie a
thread around the exact center of the magnet, with the thread having a loose
end.
Tie the loose end of the thread to any
stationary overhang that allows the magnet to turn without hindrance in space.
When the magnet stops turning, the end of the magnet pointing in the direction
of the earth's North pole is the South pole of the magnet. You may need a
simple compass to determine the earth's North pole direction.
After you have determined the South pole
of the magnet, mark that pole end with red fingernail polish or paint. Once you
have one magnet properly identified for North and South poles this magnet can
be used to IDENTIFY the North and South poles of OTHER magnets. (They use the
color RED to indicate danger and thus avoid it for biological experiments. The
reason being that since it causes a swelling of tissue, the fluids flow more
freely, it accelerates life and growth. If you have a bacteria or disease, it will
also ACCELERATE its growth and so can be quite dangerous.)
For example, if we bring the South pole of
any magnet up to another magnet's pole, a REPELLING force shows that the pole
of the unknown magnet is the South pole. An ATTRACTING force shows that the
unknown pole is the North pole.
You may wish to purchase a small
inexpensive magnetometer. The sensitive needle of this instrument moves in one
direction or the other depending on the separate magnetic pole in close
vicinity. The law of magnetism is a PRIMARY law of nature:
Like forces REPEL - unlike forces ATTRACT.
-----------------
ESTIMATING FIELD STRENGTH
Magnetic field strength is measured in
units called gauss. Since magnets are not sold with this value printed on them
and gaussmeters are expensive, you need a way to determine the approximate
field strength.
Magnets are generally sold by their
LIFTING power. That is, a horseshoe magnet is offered as having a lifting
power, when placed against a piece of heavy metal, of 2 pounds to 25 pounds to
50 pounds, depending on the size, type, or kind of magnet.
As a guide to the approximate gauss of
commercial magnets, consider the following:
A magnet having a lifting power of 2
pounds may vary from 500 to 600 gauss units; a lifting power of 5 pounds may
vary from 900 to 1200 gauss; a lifting power of 25 pounds is usually around
2000 gauss; with 50 pounds lifting power, 3500 to 4500 gauss.
For more precise measurement, an equipment
aid, such as a magnetometer, should be employed.
Care must be taken to properly determine
which pole is North and which is South, based on the above criteria.
-----------------
When I was visiting with Walter in Florida, he very kindly gave me an
assortment of magnets and books as well as an interesting meter that is used to
measure the field strength AND POLARITY of a magnet.
This meter allows you to quickly and
accurately determine what pole is North or South. It also has instructions for
helping to determine the field strength. The meter sells for $50 and is a quick
way to VISUALLY determine the polarity of any magnet.
-----------------
CARE AND HANDLING OF MAGNETS
To prevent breakage and loss of magnetic
power, you should never drop or strike the magnet with a sharp blow. Not only
can it chip but it can also lose magnetic energy.
Magnets should never be stored in a hot
location. Most magnets lose ALL their power at temperatures from 400 to 500
degrees Fahrenheit. The loss occurs at the CURIE point, where the magnetic
domains are no longer aligned and become chaotic.
After using a magnet, you should place
both ends of the magnet against a structure of flat metal. This will allow the
magnet to maintain its original strength. Such a structure is called a
"keeper." Magnets should be kept away from each other. If placed
where the poles of separate magnets repel, there could be a
"bleeding-off" of the energy. A loss of energy in this manner would
be rapid.
-----------------
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT USE ELECTROMAGNETS
Very effective and powerful magnets are
made by passing electrical energy through a coil of wire having a metal, iron,
or steel core. However, there is a difference between the magnetism produced in
this manner and the magnetism from a solid state bar or metal composition
magnet.
Magnetism HAS A FREQUENCY. It also has
motion. The rate of vibration depends on the size, length, width, and power of
the magnet. Solid state composition magnets, such as metal, iron and steel, are
CONSTANT in their rate of vibration DEPENDING on their structure. An
electromagnet, however, may present a number of different types of vibrations.
Any kind of electromagnet has many turns
of insulated wire. Each turn of this wire presents so many lines of magnetism.
Actually, we have discovered that these lines of force are really CABLES of
force, as explained in our earlier publications. (See RAWLS1.ASC and RAWLS1.GIF
on KeelyNet)
However, a coil wound a certain number of
turns has a different frequency from a fixed metal or composition magnet. As
the coil heats, the resistance to the flow of current INCREASES. Here we have a
SLOW DROP in magnetic lines, or cables, of force to a RISE IN FORCE, depending
upon the wire and core materials used for construction. Therefore, the
vibrations supplied by the electromagnet are NOT AS CONSTANT as those from the
metal or composition magnet.
Our research has revealed that size,
width, and overall length of a magnet GOVERNS FREQUENCY in electrical electron
vibrations. This is a discovery not known by the general scientific community,
because wee have not published our scientific materials on this research
finding. We are working on this discovery in the establishment of provable laws
that we will disclose when completed. We feel confident this future disclosure
will open new avenues that neither we nor the general scientific community
could properly comprehend at this time. (printed in The Magnetic Effect in
1975)
-----------------
I asked Walter about this frequency business with magnets and at that time, he
would not disclose how the measurements were made as it was proprietary to
their company, BioMagnetics International. There are over 36 international
patents based on the Davis/Rawls discoveries.
Also at the time I spoke with Walter, he
said they had developed a couch that could DIAGNOSE problem areas in the body with
an accuracy of 99%. It uses magnets to create a response in the body to
indicate an infected or diseased location. This response is described in the
books listed above and has to do with a contraction of tissue when in the
presence of a North pole energy.
It is interesting that the Floyd (Sparky)
Sweet Vacuum Triode uses magnets that are "tuned" to the 60 cps
frequency. This allows the device to pull in space energy at a frequency that
requires no alteration to run off the shelf devices. We also understand he has
"pulled" as much as 3000 watts of free energy directly from this
space energy source, also called the ZPE or hyperspace or virtual flux. The
magnets are put under a tremendous stress by placing like poles against one
another, then binding them together, this effectively creates a giant magnet
with spatial stress bubble. All that is listed on KeelyNet as SWEET1 through
SWEET4 and the diagrams are listed as VTAPAK.ZIP.
The device also appears to be LOCALE
DEPENDENT, meaning that it works better in some areas than others. To our
knowledge, no one has yet publicly admitted to successfully duplicating the
Sweet device.
We are told Sweet is under a Secrecy Order
by the United States government that forbids his discussing or working further
with his own discovery. If he'd only "slip" a copy of the plans out,
we'd be very happy to distribute them across the computer networks and to many
other researchers who would make it a reality for all.

Does
Magnetic Energy Flow?
by Walter Rawls
2003 Biomagnetics
International, Inc.
It has been said that magnetism is not energy and does not flow. The following
is submitted:
Energy is a concept so basic that no terms more fundamental can describe it.
Therefore, especially in science, it has been qualified in more basic units by
relating it to mass, velocity, temperature, and so on.
When Newton formulated his laws of motion, he did not mention energy. Thomas
Young (1773-1829), about eighty years after Newton, took the term from a Greek
word meaning "work" and applied it to what we now call the kinetic
energy of a body.
Half a century later, Rankin coined the term 'potential energy'. Both of these
terms concern mechanical physics and their relation to thermal energy (HEAT),
but it was not realized until Joule (1818-1889) demonstrated that heat produced
by the passage of an electric current through a wire was related to the square
of the current and that heat was produced by mechanical work.
Lord Kelvin (1824-1907) and Carnot (1796-1832) never accepted that heat was
anything other than a fluid, called calorie, possessed by hot bodies.
It was Einstein (1879-1955) who showed that every physical occurrence of
whatever kind can be specified completely only if it is known when, as well as
where, it occurred.
From Einstein's relativity of energy and mass also grew the idea (with
"flow" overwhelmingly accepted at that time), that matter can be
rearranged, but not destroyed. Mass at rest is equivalent to an amount of
energy; but in motion, the effective mass (and therefore the effective energy)
increases according to the velocity of the body in relation to the velocity of
light.
For energy to do work and to be useable it must be able to flow to be
transferred from one place to another. For example, a heat engine will only
function with a useable temperature difference because only then can heat
energy flow.
It has followed that units of energy have been thus specified, such as:
Calories, therms, and British Thermal Units (for heat),
Watt-hours (for electrical energy),
Foot-pounds and kilogram-metres for (mechanical energy), and
Gauss-oersteds (for the permanent magnet industry).
Energy is stored in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet because it will
move a piece of iron in the vicinity, thus doing work on the iron. We pause
here to remind the reader that the foregoing is accepted science. It is not
unusual for a part (or parts) of accepted scientific knowledge to be misapplied
or not disseminated thoroughly throughout the scientific community.
There are a number of editorials and scientific magazines, as well as comments
by noteworthy publicly employed and private scientists, addressed to this
difficulty. For example, the eminent scientist and mathematician, Gilbert, in
the time of Elizabeth the First of Great Britain, proclaimed that the Earth was
like a giant magnet.
Since Gilbert, this has been accepted science (although perhaps not emphasized
or used properly for clarifications of energy and flow).
Since the industrial revolution...really since Benjamin Franklin, through
Edison, Tesla, and even until the mid-1900's, the thrust has been on electrical
energy in private and public use. That was until the advent of atomic energy.
If a machine works...if a bomb can explode, then it is accepted. And even now,
the scientific community divides between relativity and quantum mechanics in a
broader sense of disciplines.
Question!
For energy to do work it must flow, so how can magnetism not flow as science
accepts that it does work, and is energy? Still, we find prestigious scientific
references that will say magnetism is energy and does not flow. This is a
paradox of words (which are actually symbols) and not unusual as we rush ahead
rapidly to improve upon and build greater devices. All the while, however, it
is all too often done at the very expense of gaining more comprehension of the
basics we have accepted on the path to achieving that very growth.
Here is another example of a science principle overlooked in relation to the
importance of magnetism versus electricity (our two basic disciplines of
useable energy in societies). In the discovery by Faraday in 1851, he realized
that it is not just the actual motion of flow of the electrons that are at the
center of electricity. Rather, it is the electric and magnetic (force) fields
they set up as they move along.
It is well to note that in 1865, when Maxwell published his theories of
electromagnetism, both electricity and magnetism were related in an exact
mathematical fashion, one equal to the other and interrelated.
The rapid development of the atomic theory, with its discovery that all matter
is ultimately composed of (among other particles) electrons, meant that
electricity gained the more central prominence in physics. This added to the
earlier important discoveries of Hertz (a light wave is merely a traveling
electromagnetic wave).
Electrons exist in the atom orbiting around the nucleus. They are held there by
the electromagnetic attraction existing between the negative charge carried by
the electron and the positive charge of the nucleus. It is the same as the way
in which the moon is held in orbit by the gravitational attraction between it
and the Earth. The heavier atoms can have as many as ninety electrons swirling
around the nucleus moving from one orbit to another giving us a source of
energy for light, x-rays, etc.
It is the behavior of the electron clouds of the different atoms and the way
the clouds link together that gives us the chemical properties of all matter.
The electron can behave like a particle or a wave (cables of spinning circular
energy in frequency waves and particles, i.e. Davis and Rawls). The most
important charged particle, the electron, carries a negative charge. Davis and
Rawls, when pressed to state a preference between the negative and positive
separate and distinct magnetic energies, will say the negative magnetic energy
is more desirable for applications and effects, although a balance between the
two energies is essential.
One of the themes of Davis and Rawls' book, The Magnetic Blueprint of Life,
stresses the importance of negative energy in a number of scientific areas
characterized in line with accepted physics, in the form of spin in the Nature
of this energy. It is interesting to note here that the word
"electron" also comes from the Greek word, and was first applied to
magnetism, not electricity. It is, of course, still applied to magnetism, and
becomes more important with the applications and effects seen by Davis and
Rawls.
Davis and Rawls' discoveries have their roots in accepted science. To understand
the basics as presented, it is neccessary to understand that by the scientific
principle of application and effect, magnetism is as important (if not more so)
as electricity.
Considering electromagnetic dictums, this is the principle. But the application
and effect of magnetism has not been, in practice, equal to the use of
electricity. It is believed that clarification of magnetism, at least in the
discovery of the two separate and distinct energies fitting into definite
scientific principles of cause and effect, will change this appreciation of
magnetism's importance one day.
What does the scientific community say about magnetic flux in regard to flow?
There are two general camps of belief:
1. That it flows, and
2. That it does not flow.
The only right or wrong belief about its flow is to be judged on whether the
concept is useful to a particular individual. For example, it is more
profitable to think of flux as merely being set up because it represents stored
energy. In this case, it thusly does not flow and does not have a continuous
loss of power as in the case when electric current flows in a wire.
For others, the analogue is more profitable if flux is considered to be a more
precise analogue of electric current, so that a magnetic circuit can be given
the properties appropriate to inductance and capacitance in an electric
current.
Electricity flowing is an analogue as is magnetism flowing, depending on the
use, application and effect. Prestigious scientific references are in conflict
as Van Nostrand's will say no flow and the International Edition of the Science
and Invention Encyclopedia will say otherwise. The analogue explanation seems
more plausible for the scientific community's present position.
Here, we note the accepted practice of using a "keeper" for a magnet.
Flow is considered magnetic flux from one pole to another. Each part of a
magnet is a domain, a self-contained energy source, except for the Bloch wall
(the center dividing portion), which cannot be measured with available instrumentation.
Magnetism will flow from pole to pole and over a period of time there is a loss
of magnetism from the pole ends into infinity. Eventually, you would have a
dead magnet (which could be recharged). A "keeper" is used to slow
down and prevent this loss of energy flowing into infinity.
Magnetic domains are negative and positive, not just as symbols for
identification, but in accordance with physics and natural laws of energy spin
in relation to the distance of a magnet's poles to its center. The flow of
energy is in cables of spinning circular energy, initially, from south to
north. However, the constant flow is in both directions.
This is a synopsis, not a detailed explanation needing many pages, experiments,
etc. Also, we are not going into radiation and wave frequency herein. However,
we will say that the only thing that distinguishes one kind of radiation from
another is its wavelength (or frequency) and that the study of electromagnetism
is basic to the whole of science. After all, the Earth receives most of its
energy from the sun by electromagnetic radiation.
In conclusion, we say that the already accepted basics of science - before
Davis and Rawls - did accept magnetism as energy that flows, although not in
unanimity among the scientific community. Davis and Rawls' applications and
effects give more importance to these basics.
Davis and Rawls consider themselves their own worst critics, but nonetheless
have to ask: If our diagnostic system, patented on the separate energies, works
100% of the time on the animal and human body - and the explanation of this
working is not correct - then can someone come forth with a scientific
explanation of why it works other than the way Davis and Rawls explain?
So far no one has. And we do not believe they can.

Since magnetic monopole magnets are not available at just any

allow for the greatest separation of the two opposite

It was found that use of a North Pole would provide an
energetic environment which would cause cancer cells to contract and die out.
This energetic environment also has other healthy applications as detailed in
their many books.

properly identified for North and South poles this magnet can be
used to IDENTIFY the North and South poles
of OTHER magnets. (They use the color RED to indicate
danger and thus avoid it for biological experiments. The
reason being that since it causes a swelling of tissue, the fluids
flow more freely, it accelerates life and growth. If you have a bacteria
or disease, it will also ACCELERATE its growth
and so can be quite dangerous.)
For example, if we bring the South pole of
any magnet up to another magnet's pole, a REPELLING force shows
that the pole of the unknown magnet is the South pole. An
ATTRACTING force shows that the unknown pole is the North pole.
You may wish to purchase a small inexpensive magnetometer.
The sensitive needle of this instrument moves in one direction or the other
depending on the separate magnetic pole in close vicinity. The law of
magnetism is a PRIMARY law of nature: Like forces REPEL - unlike forces
ATTRACT.
ESTIMATING FIELD STRENGTH
Magnetic field strength is measured in units called
gauss. Since magnets are not sold with this value printed on them
and gaussmeters are expensive, you need a way to
determine the approximate field strength.
Magnets are generally sold by their LIFTING
power. That is, a horseshoe magnet is offered as having
a lifting power, when placed against a piece of
heavy metal, of 2 pounds to 25 pounds to 50 pounds,
depending on the size, type, or kind of magnet.
As a guide to the approximate gauss of commercial magnets, consider the
following:
A magnet having a lifting power of 2 pounds may vary from 500 to 600
gauss units; a lifting power of 5 pounds may vary from 900 to 1200 gauss; a
lifting power of 25 pounds is usually around 2000 gauss; with 50 pounds lifting
power, 3500 to 4500 gauss.
For more precise measurement, an
equipment aid, such as a magnetometer, should be
employed.
Care must be taken to properly determine which pole is
North and which is South, based on the above criteria.
When I was visiting with Walter in Florida, he very kindly gave me
an assortment of magnets and books as well as an interesting meter
that is used to measure the field strength AND POLARITY of a magnet.
This meter allows you to quickly and accurately determine what pole is
North or South. It also has
instructions for helping to determine the field
strength. The meter sells for $50 and is a quick
way to VISUALLY determine the polarity of any magnet.
CARE AND HANDLING OF MAGNETS
To prevent breakage and loss of magnetic power, you
should never drop or strike the magnet with a sharp blow. Not
only can it chip but it can also lose magnetic energy.
Magnets should never be stored in a hot location. Most magnets lose ALL
their power at temperatures from 400 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The loss
occurs at the CURIE point, where the magnetic domains are no longer
aligned and become chaotic.
After using a magnet, you should place both ends
of the magnet against a structure of flat metal. This will
allow the magnet to maintain its original
strength. Such a structure is called
a "keeper." Magnets should be kept away from each
other. If placed where the poles of separate
magnets repel, there could be a
"bleeding-off" of the energy. A loss of energy in this manner
would be rapid.
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT USE ELECTROMAGNETS
Very effective and powerful magnets are made by passing electrical
energy through a coil of wire having a metal, iron, or steel core.
However, there is a difference between the magnetism
produced in this manner and the magnetism from
a solid state bar or metal composition magnet.
Magnetism HAS A FREQUENCY. It also has
motion. The rate of vibration depends on
the size, length, width, and power of the
magnet. Solid state composition magnets, such as metal,
iron and steel, are CONSTANT in their rate of vibration
DEPENDING on their structure. An electromagnet, however,
may present a number of different types of vibrations.
Any kind of electromagnet has many turns of insulated
wire. Each turn of this wire presents so many lines of magnetism.
Actually, we have discovered that these lines of force
are really CABLES of force, as explained in our earlier
publications. (See RAWLS1.ASC and RAWLS1.GIF on KeelyNet)
However, a coil wound a certain number of turns
has a different frequency from a fixed metal or composition
magnet. As the coil heats, the resistance
to the flow of current INCREASES. Here we have a SLOW
DROP in magnetic lines, or cables, of force to a RISE IN FORCE, depending
upon the wire and core
materials used for construction. Therefore,
the vibrations supplied
by the electromagnet are NOT AS CONSTANT
as those from the metal or composition magnet.
Our research has revealed that size, width, and overall length of a
magnet GOVERNS FREQUENCY in electrical electron vibrations. This is a
discovery not known by the general scientific community, because we
have not published our scientific materials on this
research finding. We are working on this discovery in the
establishment of provable laws that we will
disclose when completed. We feel confident
this future disclosure will open new avenues that neither we nor the
general scientific community could properly comprehend at this
time. (printed in The Magnetic Effect in 1975)
I asked Walter about this frequency business with
magnets and at that time, he would not disclose how the
measurements were made as it was proprietary to their
company, BioMagnetics International. There are over 36
international patents based on the Davis/Rawls discoveries.
Also at the time I spoke with Walter, he said they had developed a
couch that could DIAGNOSE problem areas in the body with an accuracy of
99%. It uses magnets to create a response
in the body to indicate an infected
or diseased location. This response
is described in the books listed above and has to do with a contraction of
tissue when in the presence of a North pole energy.
It is interesting that the Floyd (Sparky) Sweet Vacuum Triode uses
magnets that are "tuned" to the 60 cps frequency.
This allows the device to pull in space energy
at a frequency that requires no alteration to run off the shelf
devices. We also understand he has "pulled" as much
as 3000 watts of free energy directly from this space energy
source, also called the ZPE or hyperspace or virtual
flux. The magnets are put under a tremendous stress by placing like poles
against one another, then binding
them together, this effectively creates a giant magnet with
spatial stress bubble. All that is listed on KeelyNet as SWEET1
through SWEET4 and the diagrams are listed as VTAPAK.ZIP.
The device also appears to be LOCALE DEPENDENT,
meaning that it works better in some areas than others. To
our knowledge, no one has yet publicly admitted to successfully
duplicating the Sweet device.
We are told Sweet is under a Secrecy Order by the
United States government that forbids his discussing or working
further with his own discovery. If he'd only "slip" a copy of
the plans out, we'd be very happy to distribute them across the computer
networks and to many other researchers who would make it a reality
for all.
The
Revolutionary Discoveries of Davis and Rawls
Albert Roy Davis was the first scientist in the world to discover, in 1936,
that magnetism consists of two separate and distinct energies, each having
opposite effects on matter.
This revolutionary discovery forever changed the field of
magnetic/electromagnetic research. Albert Roy Davis is the founder of the
Science of Biomagnetics (or Biomagnetism) in the United States, a term
which means the study of the effects of a magnet's energies on the biological
system. Magnetic therapy, as it is commonly referred to today, is one branch of
the science called biomagnetism. Never before in recorded history could
experiments be reproduced, time and time again, with precise and predictable
results. If you are considering magnetic therapy, you must, for your own well-being,
have an adequate understanding of the effects of the North and South pole
energies. Incorrect use of a biomagnet (magnet specifically designed for
magnetic therapy) can have serious undesirable consequences.
Throughout the twentieth century and up to the present, a great deal of
research has been done to determine the effects of magnetic fields on living
organisms. Researchers had not been able to obtain predictable results. All of
the researchers throughout the world, whether the results showed magnetic
energies to have an effect or not, were unaware of the fact that the polarity
of the magnetic field used in their experiments would have a profound effect on
the outcome. They believed, as scientists have for thousands of years, that the
North and South poles of magnetism were homogeneous (the same) in their
effects. You may know someone who has tried magnetic therapy and said it seemed
to be helpful sometimes, but not at other times, or worse yet they may have had
no improvement at all. Have you wondered why this has been the experience of
many people who have used biomagnets, and as a result no longer do? There are
several reasons.
In 1936, Albert Roy Davis discovered that magnetism consists of two separate
and distinct energies. The North pole has the opposite effects of the South
pole. To this day, most researchers still do not understand this, nor do many
companies that sell magnetic therapy products. A biomagnet must be constructed
in a way that separates the two poles of the magnet so that the North pole
energy is on one side and the
South pole energy is on the opposite side of the magnet. They are often called
unipolar magnets, as opposed to bipolar magnets, which have the North and South
poles on the same side. Other companies that do sell unipolar biomagnets take
some of the original work done by Davis and Rawls, which has been
scientifically verified, and then wrongfully alter it. It is not uncommon for
some doctors, scientists, and others to take credit for one or more of their
discoveries. Using the North pole energy alone is not enough . The material the
magnet is constructed of, the size, and length of time it is used are all
important considerations. If biomagnets are not used properly they will not
only fail to give you the results you desire, they can be harmful.
We at Biomagnetics USA have been guided by the greatest scientists in
magnetic/electromagnetic research in the world, the Albert Roy Davis Research
Laboratory. When biomagnets are used correctly, as determined through decades
of research by Davis and Rawls, they can offer you benefits that are nothing
short of amazing!
The
Figure Eight
No other scientists in history have made more fundamental discoveries about
magnetism than Albert Roy Davis and Walter C. Rawls, Jr. Many years ago Davis
discovered that magnetic energies spin, North pole in a counterclockwise
rotation, and the South pole in a clockwise rotation. It is now common to read
about the spin or vortex of magnetic energies in scientific literature, but
what is never mentioned in these publications is the fact that this was first
discovered by Davis. Even scientists and researchers of unorthodox science
often fail to give credit to Davis and Rawls for their discoveries, yet many of
them are well aware of their work.
Davis also discovered that magnetism flows in and around a magnet in the form
of a figure "8". The method developed by Michael Faraday in 1852 to
show the "lines of force" (Davis discovered that they are actually
cables of force) around a magnet is incorrect. Faraday used a flat piece of
paper, placed iron filings on it, and brought a magnet up under the paper to
show the lines of force. The truth is that when each particle of steel or iron
filing is placed in the field of the magnet, it becomes temporarily magnetized,
in effect, becoming a magnet itself. As each particle then attracts and repels,
the demonstration presents a mistaken concept.
Albert Roy Davis discovered the figure "8" after developing a special
type of electron photography to photograph the magnetic field of a magnet, the
same method that was used to take the photo on the right. If you examine this
photo you can clearly see the spin of the cables of force. Davis and Rawls also
devised a more simplified demonstration to show the lines of force (i.e. cables
of force), an experiment that can be performed in any classroom (see photos
below). The method requires a large, clear glass container filled with water,
some barium ferrite, and a long cylinder or bar magnet attached to a
non-magnetic handle. The barium ferrite is put into the water, and the magnet
with the handle is used to briskly stir the water to suspend the particles.
Next, the stirring ceases and the magnet is held vertically in the center of
the container. The particles will then form and reveal the figure eight
of magnetic energies. This demonstration should be in all of the science textbooks
that are used to educate students about magnetism... but it is not.
1. Place magnet in container
2. Stir the water so the barium ferrite is suspended
3. Observe the figure eight of magnetic energies
Focused
magnetic directional polarities
US5197492
A method is provided for focusing magnetic fields, reducing magnetic fields and
shielding animate or inanimate subjects from magnetic fields. Further a media
which has been subjected to a shielded or focused magnetic field is applied to
a subject, as for example, topically. The method, in part, interposes between
the subjects and the source of a magnetic field, at least one second magnetic
field disposed in such a manner that the polarity of the second magnetic field
cancels or at least partially neutralizes the magnetic strength of the first
magnetic field. The second magnetic field can also be disposed so as to permit
only a portion of the first magnetic field to escape shielding and thereby
focused in a predetermined direction. Devices which normally emit magnetic
energy and containing the shielding of the present invention are also provided.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(1) Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to magnetic energies derived from a specific
magnetic field. In one aspect, this invention is directed to shielding of human
and inanimate subjects from magnetic fields and a method for shielding humans
from electromagnetic fields such as those generated by transmission lines,
magnetic resonance imaging devices and the like. The invention also is directed
to the utilization of such shielding to focus electromagnetic energy and to
provide devices equipped with such shielding. Another aspect of the invention
is the use of the focused magnetic energies of a particular unidirectional
magnetic field.
(2) Description of the Related Art
Recently there has been a rising concern by scientists and an increasing
awareness on the part of the public in general, of the potential health hazards
of electromagnetic fields. The scientific evidence is increasing daily which
indicates that exposure to magnetic fields might conceivable cause adverse
health effects in the cells of the human body. A comprehensive background paper
was recently issued by the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment which
was prepared by a team at Carnegie Mellon University and which indicated that
the emerging evidence no longer allows one to categorically assert that there
are no risks associated with electromagnetic fields radiated by cables, wires,
fixtures and appliances in general.
Although scientists have generally assured the public that there was no danger
to health, the uncertainty engendered by often contradictory data causes some
degree of concern.
Moreover, while the electromagnetic fields radiated by fixtures and appliances
found in the home or workplace may be of a relatively low level, more
sophisticated equipment such as transmission lines, large electrical
transformers, as well as the more recent magnetic resonance imaging devices,
which radiate greater magnetic field strengths, are undoubtedly of greater
concern. Magnetism and its effects have been widely discussed in the past and
it is evident that magnetic energy does indeed effect the living organism such
as humans and agricultural products.
A wide variety of methods have been reported in the literature which are
directed to the use of magnetic energy as a diagnostic technique and also for
the treatment of diseases in warm blooded animals including humans. For
example, magnetic energy has been utilized quite successfully over the past
several years to promote the formation of osteoblasts in conjunction with the
healing of bone fractures. In many instances markedly improved results in
healing times have been achieved by the application of magnetic energy to the
site of bone fractures and other injuries.
The search for a biological effect due to magnetic fields has a long history
dating back a hundred years. The literature on biomagnetic effects on the
growth and development of various organisms has been quite extensive showing
both positive and negative findings. Among the positive findings attributed to
strong magnetic fields are: altered growth rate, enzyme activities, cellular
metabolism, DNA synthesis and animal orientation. While the mutagenic abilities
of strong magnetic fields have been controversial, a direct cytotoxic effect on
mammalian cells has not been reported. As long ago as 1963, experiments were
performed with a 56 kilogauss static field generated in an electromagnet at the
Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford: at the time the strongest magnetic field
available in the world, which showed no cytotoxicity with mammalian cells
cultured in vitro for exposures up to several hours. The recent availability of
powerful permanent ceramic magnets prompted the present studies which showed
that to produce cytotoxicity the magnetic field needed to be varied.
Previous development of directional magnetic fields began in 1936, when A. R.
Davis first discovered that the north and the south magnetic pole fields each
exhibited unique properties with respect to their effects on various forms of
life. This discovery was slow to be accepted because of investigations by
others who confused Davis' directional polarities magnetic fields with those
which are simultaneously emitted by horse shoe type magnets and by AC-powered
electromagnets. The common belief over the years relating to magnets has been
that the two magnetic poles, north and south, are homogeneous and that they
emanate the same potential type of energy. This belief has been found to be a
misconception, since the two poles of a magnet are totally different in
electric potential and effect. Correspondingly, the application of the
respective poles to living systems has been found to produce quite different results.
More specifically, it has been shown that magnetic energy has an effect on
cells such as blood cells, nerves, bacteria, et al.
It is also believed that magnetic energy has an effect on cells such as blood
cells, nerve tissue cells and the like. Preliminary investigations regarding
biological effects of exposure to magnetic fields have indicated a polarity
dependence. Cells are deemed to be bioelectric in nature, function and behavior
and studies have indicated that directional magnetic fields enhance biological
activity. Moreover, due to the orientation of such cells and of the metal
elements and other ions contained therein, the blood cells have been found to
decrease certain biological effects when exposed to the north pole and to
increase other biological effect when exposed to the magnetic south pole. This
same type of reaction has been noted in connection with the other type cells of
the body, it having been observed that, as a general matter, the application of
north pole energies to an existing unhealthy or abnormal condition tends to
have an arresting, quieting or relaxing effect, to induce an overall healing
reaction akin to the body's own defense mechanism. On the other hand, the
application of south pole energies tends to have a strengthening, activating
effect, which has been found useful in treating some abnormal conditions,
particularly those associated with a slowing or weakening in function. Cancer
cells exposed to the north field show a significant decrease in the number of
surviving cells after a period of incubation. Conversely, the same type of
cells, when exposed to the south field, indicated an increase in the number of
surviving cells compared to the unexposed controls. A more detailed description
of magnetic pole energies can be found in Davis et al, Magnetism and its
Effects On the Living System, Acres U.S.A., Kansas City Mo. (1974) and Davis et
al, The Magnetic Effect, Acres U.S.A., Kansas City Mo. (1975).
Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are important modalities used to treat many types
of human cancer. A major virtue of radiotherapy is that radiation beams can be
aimed to encompass a target volume including the tumor while avoiding systemic
effects. Within the target volume itself, radiation does not distinguish well
between normal and malignant tissues and the small differential that does exist
requires the exploitation of kinetic differences in a protracted multifraction
regimen. On the other hand, some chemotherapy agents show a big differential in
cytotoxicity between dividing and non-dividing cells, if not between normal and
malignant cells per se, but the concomitant problem is systemic toxicity since
the drug cannot be aimed. It would appear that a varying magnetic field may
combine the best features of radio- and chemo- therapy; i.e. a big differential
in cytotoxicity between dividing and plateau phase cells and the possibility of
being aimed at a limited tumor volume,
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,337,776, which issued Aug. 22, 1967, there is disclosed an
apparatus for generating magnetic fields which are indicated to be particularly
useful for biomedical applications. Although the patentee is not specific as to
individual applications, he does state that magnetic fields generated by the
apparatus can decrease metabolism values and reacts on the spastic syndrome.
A magnetic probe is disclosed and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,664,327 which
issued May 23, 1972 and states that the probe can be employed in relatively
inaccessible locations, such as in body cavities of animals to cause relaxation
of muscle tissue.
A magnetic medical treatment device is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,921,620
which states that the effects of a magnetic field upon a living body are due to
the fact that the electrolyte within the living body is dissociated by
polarization and induced currents and is effective in controlling the
sympathetic nervous system.
On May 3, 1977, U.S. Pat. No. 4,020,590 issued to A. R. Davis and discloses an
apparatus and method for treating seeds in a unipolar magnetic field. It is
indicated in the patent that this treatment enhances the germination rate of
the seeds, as well as providing plants having greater sugar content, increased
protein and other desirable features.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,134,935 which issued Jan. 16, 1979 also to A. R. Davis, a
method is disclosed and claimed which uses magnetic fields for clinical
examination of animals to determine damaged, diseased, abnormal or
malfunctioning parts of the body. Changes in tensioning and relaxation of the
body extremities are an indication of body abnormalities.
A method for treating cancer is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,622,952 which
issued Nov. 18, 1986 and which involves timing an electromagnetic energy to the
resonant energy absorption frequencies of the intracellular structures of the
selected cells and then exposing a subject to this tuned electromagnetic energy
field. The field can also be tuned to the frequency which has been calculated
to be closest to the resonant frequency of the cancer cells and furthest from
the normal cells.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,622,953, which issued to the same patentee, disclosed the
identical procedure for the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions. In this
process, metabolic and activity varying substances such as ferric hydroxide and
dextran were employed and by applying the proper resonant energy, the heat in
the diseased cell is increased by an increment sufficient to kill the diseased
cell but not sufficient to kill normal cells.
In a patent issued to Robert T. Gordon on May 5, 1987, U.S. Pat. No. 4,602,359,
a process is described and claimed for the treatment of cancer in a host
organism which comprises providing to the host organism minute particles
capable of being inductively heated and which are of a size which can be
absorbed into cancer cells. Thereafter the organism is subjected to an
alternating electromagnetic field to heat the particles at that point in
metabolic time when the maximum difference in magnetic susceptibility between
the cancer cells and normal cells within the region occurs, and then continuing
the inductive heating to increase intracellular temperature to selectively kill
the cancer cells.
The north pole, which is defined as the north seeking pole, is now believed to
provide a negative form of energy while the south pole, which is defined as the
south seeking pole, is believed to provide a positive form of energy. It has
also been found upon examination of the electron paths associated with the
fields surrounding the respective poles that the south pole end of a magnet
provides a right hand spin of electrons, i.e., a clockwise rotation of electron
movement, as contrasted with the north pole electron spin, which provide a left
hand spin or counterclockwise rotation of its electron field.
It has been further observed that the lines of magnetic energy leave the south
pole to re-enter the magnet at the Bloch Wall where the 180 degree phase takes
place, and leave the Bloch Wall at that point to go on as the north pole energy
to re-enter the magnet at its north pole.
It is therefore evident that magnetic energies do indeed have an effect upon
plants and living organisms, and which in some instances may be detrimental.
Surveys of magnetic resonance imaging devices and other types of equipment
capable of producing appreciable magnetic fields were performed in order to
determine the polarity and intensity of magnetic fields in areas where there
are potentials of both occupational exposure and exposure to members of the
general public.
Considering the potential significance of the foregoing, exposure to the South
field from devices radiating such energy should be as low as is reasonably
achievable.
Accordingly, one or more of the following objects will be achieved by the
practice of this invention. It is an object of this invention to provide a
method for shielding human and inanimate objects from magnetic fields. Another
object is to provide a shielding for humans from electromagnetic fields such as
those generated by transmission lines, magnetic resonance imaging devices and
the like. A further object of the invention is to provide devices equipped with
appropriate shielding. These and other objects will readily become apparent to
those skilled in the art in the light of the teachings therein set forth.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In its broad aspect this invention is directed to a method for shielding humans
and inanimate subjects from magnetic fields. The method comprises, in part,
interposing between the subjects and the source of a magnetic field, at least
one second magnetic field disposed in such a manner that the polarity of the
second magnetic field cancels or at least partially neutralizes the magnetic
strength of the first magnetic field. The second magnetic field can also be
disposed so as to permit only a portion of the first magnetic field to escape
shielding and thereby focus the magnetic energy in a predetermined direction.
Devices which normally emit magnetic energy and containing the shielding of the
present invention are also provided.

specification is read in conjunction with the drawings wherein:

housing a magnetic resonance imaging unit;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As indicated above, an aspect of the present invention is directed to a method
of shielding magnetic energy radiating or emanating from a magnetic source.
Using the shielding in accordance with the procedure of this invention can
greatly reduce or even eliminate potential danger from a magnetic field,
especially energy from any South field.
While it has not been established with certainty, the current views seem to
tend towards the possibility that magnetic fields, especially the South
magnetic field may adversely effect living organisms. It is with this in mind
that the present invention was conceived in order to reduce or eliminate
exposure of humans and inanimate objects to unnecessary magnetic energy. While
many of the devices used in the home today emit little magnetic energy, there
are other devices wherein exposure to their magnetic field may have adverse
consequences.
Since there are few, if any, materials which can not be penetrated by magnetic
energy, it was found that the best way to reduce or eliminate unwanted magnetic
energy was to utilize a separate an opposing magnetic field to counteract the
energy of the first magnetic source. Accordingly, it was found that by using
one or more magnets of a lesser strength, but located and oriented in a set
fashion, the undesirable effect of the first magnetic source could be
counteracted.
Since the magnetic field strength weakens in proportion to the distance away
from the magnetic source, it was found that a magnet of a relative low strength
if properly placed could effectively eliminate unwanted radiation. As noted in
Examples 1-5 which follow, a shield of a lesser strength placed at a
predetermined distance from the magnetic source, was effective in completely neutralizing
the magnetic energy.
It has been found that the second magnetic field which comprises the shield,
can be fabricated from a wide variety of materials and in a wide variety of
configurations. For example, ferrite particles or powders can be embedded in a
variety of plastic or other materials which can then be made into a wide
variety of shapes and sizes. When such materials are rendered magnetic, then
can serve as excellent shields for use in the method of the present invention.
Such materials can be obtained from the Fermag Company of Edison, N.J. in
various strengths of their magnetic fields. For example, magnetic shielding can
be obtained having magnetic field strengths of from about 1000 to about 1500
gauss and higher. The actual strength need will of course be determined by the
strength of the magnetic source and the proximity of the shielding to the
source.
As indicated, the shielding can be fabricated in a wide variety of shapes and
sizes as well as thicknesses. In many instances, using the shield in the form
of sheets will be sufficient and such sheets can be arranged in several layers
one behind the other if necessary. In other instances, it may be necessary to
have the shield configured into a cylindrical, spherical or other shape in
order to provide the optimum shielding of the first magnetic source.
Additionally, while the shielding can be a magnetized material, it is also
possible to have the shielding be an electromagnet whose power is derived form
an electrical source.
Measurement of the field strength of the first magnetic source and of the
second magnetic source or shielding, can be done with a gaussmeter such as
Model 5-0-5, which can be obtained from the Annis Company of Ind. Also, a
magnetometer is available from the Albert Roy Davis Research Laboratory, of
Green Cove Springs, Fla. To identify the poles using this device, the side or
end of the magnet is brought up to the meter. If the needle moves to the right
(+), it is the South pole energy that is being measured. If the needle moves to
the left (-) it is the North pole of the magnet.
The distance between the magnetic source and the meter varies with the magnetic
strength. For this magnetometer, 1/2 inch is about 150 Gauss; 1 inch, 200
Gauss; 1 and 1/2 inch 300 Gauss, 2 and 1/2 inches 500 Gauss; 5 inches, 1800
Gauss; 9 inches, 3500 Gauss; 12 inches 4500 Gauss; and the like. Although
different gaussmeters will have different scales, the data obtained with one
meter will be relative to the different field strengths for the particular
magnets tested and the distance of the meter from the magnetic source.
In general, it has been observed that the energy radiating from the South pole
is the energy which might have adverse effects on humans. Thus, by utilizing a
shield in accordance with the teachings of this invention wherein this South
pole energy is neutralized, humans can be protected from such adverse effects.
The following examples are illustrative of the present invention.
EXAMPLES 1-5
In order to demonstrate that a source of magnetic energy can be adequately
shielded, a magnet having a field strength of approximately 3500 gauss was
placed in a flat surface. A magnetic shield in the form of a sheet was placed
about six inches from the surface of the magnet which radiated a south (+)
field. The magnetic shield employed was obtained from the Fermag Company of
Edison, N.J. and was comprised of magnetic ferrite embedded in a pliable
substrate material. The shield was in the form of a flat sheet of no great than
0.25 inches in thickness and had a magnetic strength of 1200 gauss. The shield
was placed vertically so that its flat surface was parallel to the magnet and
yet perpendicular to the magnetic field radiating therefrom. The shield was
oriented so that its south (+) field faced the magnet.
The strength of the magnetic field was measured using a gaussmeter (Model
5-0-5, obtained from the Annis Company of Ind. and placed about 9.5 inches from
the magnet) about 3.5 inches behind the shield when the shield was in place.
The measurements obtained are set forth below in Table I.

EXAMPLE 6
A survey was made at a large northeast research institution and indicated that
fairly high intensities of magnetic fields could be detected in areas adjacent
to various devices. This prompted a survey of an operating mobile magnetic
resonance imaging unit to determine whether high levels of magnetic energy was
being emitted from such unit. An examination of the console regularly occupied
by the staff personnel in the room housing the MRI magnets, showed that the
intensity levels were substantially higher and areas of both positive (South
field) and negative (North field) were measured. This unit was a 0.3 Tesla
Hybrid Resistive magnet with magnetic bricks. The field polarity is obviously
determined by the configuration of the components.
Substantial levels were measured outside of the trailer 10 housing the unit12
which also was posted with a sign indicating "Magnet Hazard". In the
single drawing, there is depicted a schematic top view of the trailer 10,
showing the approximate location of the magnet 12, of the MRI unit and the side
14, from which actual measurements of the field strengths were made. Warning
sign 16, was on the outer trailer wall at approximately the location of the MRI
unit inside. The scale on the side of the drawing is in inches measured away
from the side of the trailer.
It is evident from the data obtained that there is substantial magnetic
radiation from the side of the MRI mobile unit and which is the less desirable
positive type of radiation. Although there is no correlation yet available to
connect the intensity of the magnetic field with any detrimental effects on
humans, the mere fact that the mobile unit contains the "Magnet
Hazard" warning sign on the trailer should be sufficient to encourage
using an appropriate shielding. The particular unit for which the measurements
were made, was located on a city street where pedestrians would pass through
the field depicted in the drawing.
Although the invention has been illustrated by the preceding examples, it is
not to be construed as being limited to the materials employed therein, but
rather, the invention is directed to the generic area as herein before
disclosed. Various modifications and embodiments of the invention can be made
without departing from the spirit or scope thereof.
Another set of experiments were conducted wherein mammalian cells growing in
culture were exposed to a varying magnetic field having a maximum intensity of
6.8 kilogauss. The cell cultures remained stationary, while two permanent
ceramic magnets were rotated at 16 rev/min so that each magnet passed under the
cells once during each revolution. Exponentially growing cultures of either
A549 human lung carcinoma cells or C,H/lOT-1/2 mouse embryo fibroblasts were
exposed to the varying field. By about 3 days, cell growth was arrested, and
the fraction of cells surviving was of the order of 10-'. By contrast, no
measurable cell killing was observed in confluent cultures of C,H/IOT-I/2 cells
showing contact inhibition. The substantial cytotoxicity shown by this varying
magnetic field and the striking differential between the level of killing observed
in dividing versus plateau phase cells, suggests that this might be useful to
treat rapidly growing tumors in a relatively slow growing normal tissue.
The effect of magnetic fields on exponentially growing cells compared with
control cultures consists of two components. First, the total number of cells
is reduced, implying that cell growth is inhibited. Second, of the cells
present, a proportion have lost their clonogenicity and this proportion
increases with time of exposure to the field. With the field strength and
period of oscillation used, a 72 hour exposure results in 10-fold fewer cells
on the treated than on the control flasks, and of these only 1/10 are
clonogenic. A further increase in exposure time results in too few viable cells
to assay.
The key to producing a cytotoxic effect by means of a magnetic field appears to
be a combination of a sufficiently intense magnetic field and a suitable
variation of that field applied for a prolonged period. A steady or constant
magnetic field of similar, or even higher intensity, does not produce a
cytotoxic effect over the time periods studied.
The effect on cytotoxicity of modifying the magnetic field intensity and the
rate of change of magnetic field strength is currently under intense
investigation; there are evidently several different parameters that can be
varied and the relative importance of each is not yet clear.
The instant invention involves only cells cultured in vitro, however, the
substantial cytotoxic effect of the varying magnetic field and the fact that it
can be manipulated to cover various areas and volumes, and the dramatic
differential in cell killing between dividing and plateau phase cells suggests
that this may be a useful anti-cancer device that merits further investigation.
C3H IOTI/2 mouse embryo fibroblasts were used. These cells exhibited contact
inhibition of growth and anchorage dependence under normal culture conditions.
Cells were maintained in Eagle's Basal medium supplemented with 10% heat
inactivated fetal bovine serum (Hyclone Laboratories, Logan, Utah) and 25 /ml
gentamycin (U.S. Biochemicals, Cleveland, Ohio).
A549 human lung carcinoma cells were maintained in Eagle's Minimun Essential
Medium Supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum, 25 g/ml gentamycin, 1%
glutamine and 0.1% sodium pyruvate (Grand Island Biological Supplies, Grand
Island, N.Y.).
TESTING
Exponentially growing C3H IOTI/2 and A549 cells were trypsinized and related at
I.times.10' cells and 5.times.10" cells respectively per 25 cm' area
tissue culture flask (Corning) in 10 ml medium. Forty eight hours after
plating, the caps of the flasks were closed tightly and the cultures were Fmt
into a water-jacketed incubator fitted with a custom-built motor assembly for
varying field magnetic treatment at 37 C. A constant 16 rpm gear-head motor was
used and was placed inside the incubator. The shaft of the motor was connected
to a lucite platform onto which two sets of ceramic monopolar magnets were
positioned 12.5 cm apart. The maximum intensity of the magnets was 6.8
kilogauss. The lucite platform could be adjusted by raising or lowering the
shaft of the motor. Culture flasks exposed to the varying fields were placed on
an aluminum tray 2 mm above the rotating magnets. The position of the flasks on
the holding tray were bounded by the circumference of the revolving magnetic
bars. A maximum of 13 T25 cm' area flasks could be treated at any one time.
Control flasks were placed on a tray at the bottom of the incubator where the
magnetic field as determined by a gauss meter was minimal.
In experiments involving plateau phase cultures of C3H 10T1/2 cells,
exponentially growing cells were plated at 5.times.10@5 cells per flask in 10
ml. tissue culture medium four days before initiation of treatment.
Bromodeoxyuridine labeling (5.times.10@-6 M) for one cell cycle showed the
cells to be in plateau phase with less than 6% cycling.
To determine the growth kinetics of cultured cells treated with the varying
fields, duplicate flasks were removed from the incubator together with an equal
number of control cultures. The sampling times chosen were 2 hrs. and 6 hrs.,
after the initiation of treatment, and at daily intervals thereafter for up to
4 to 6 days. The cultures were trypsinized, counted and the total number of
cells per flask determined using a Coulter electronic counter.
To determine the surviving fractions of both exponentially and plateau-phase
treated cultures of C3H 10%1/2 cells, the cultures were trypsinized, counted
and replated into 100 mm diameter tissue culture dishes at a density such that
50-60 viable cells would survive and form colonies. The cultures were incubated
for 10-12 days at which time they were fixed with formaldehyde, stained with
Giemsa and counted for colony formation.
In FIG. 3 the growth curves for control mouse cultures exposed to a varying
magnetic field (maximum value 6 kilogauss) for various periods of time are
illustrated. Shown are the total number of cells/dish and the total number of
viable cells per dish, i.e. the number capable of forming colonies. Each point
represents pooled data from 2 experiments. Bar represents .+-. I.S.D. Data for
exponential phase cultures are depicted in the left-hand panel. Control cells
incubated in the same incubation as the treated cultures had a doubling time of
18 hours and was comparable to published data for normal C3H IOTI/2 cells. Six
hours after the initiation of magnetic treatment, the treated cells already
demonstrated signs of growth inhibition. By 72 hours after treatment, the total
number of cells per treated flask was roughly 1/10 of that of the control. The
number of clonogenically viable cells, based on the plating efficiencies and
the surviving fractions also changed with the duration of treatment. By the end
of 72 hours, the number of reproductively viable cells was only one-tenth of
the cell population. Data for plateau phase cultures of C3H IOTI/2 cells are
shown in the right-hand panel. Essentially no difference was observed in the
total cell number between the treated vs. control cultures. Although the number
of clonogenically viable cells also showed a modest decrease after treatment
for 3 days the effect was less dramatic than that for exponentially phase
cultures.
FIG. 4 shows the survival data for exponentially growing and plateau phase
c,H/lOT-1/2 cells exposed to the varying magnetic field for various periods of
time. For each time point examined, cells were removed by trypsinization from
replicate flasks from control and treated groups, and aliquots of cells
replated into fresh medium to assay for clonogenicity. The fraction of cells
forming colonies from treated and control flasks gives the surviving fraction.
Each point represents pooled data from 2-3 experiments. Bar represents + S.E.
The surviving fractions of either exponential or plateau phase C3H lOTI/2 cells
treated with the varying magnetic field for various periods of time are shown.
A three (3) day treatment resulted in a 10% survival for actively growing cells
whereas contact inhibited cells showed only a 20% killing level.
The growth inhibitory effects of a varying magnetic field on a human tumor cell
line are shown in FIG. 5. Growth curves for control S549 and for parallel
cultures exposed to a varying magnetic field (maximum value about 6.8 kilogauss
for various periods of time are shown. The data points shown correspond to the
total number of cells per dish. Each point represents pooled data from 2
experiments. Bar represents + I.S.D. The human lung carcinoma cells have a
doubling time similar to that of C3H IOTI/2 cells (-18 to 20 hours). There was
a significant difference in total cell numbers between the treated and control
cultures at 24 hours after treatment. By 72 hours after treatment, the number
of treated cells was roughly 1/IO of that for control.
In another modification of the invention, cells are indirectly subjected to the
influence of a particular directional, or unipolar magnetic field, as
illustrated in FIG. 2. A media is placed proximate to and preferably directly
on a magnet 100, such that is is subjected to the desired field. The magnet is
preferably a compound magnet, such that a first portion emits a field A and a
field B. A second magnet is positioned proximate to the first magnet, such that
the second magnet's magnetic field B is directed in opposition to the first
magnet's field B. In this manner, the fields B of the first and second magnet
are effectively canceled, as previously described and only the A fields are
permitted to emanate to the surrounding regions. This serves to protect user
from the detrimental effects of field B, when applicable.
The media is subjected to the desired magnetic field for a period sufficient to
have the desired effect on the media. The media subjected to the magnetic field
can be a cosmetic cream, lotion or the like. The media is then applied to the
user's body for a period of time, such as overnight. The following morning the
media is returned to its place proximate the magnetic field for reactivation.
It has been found that the activation of the media degrades with time, thus
necessitating the reactivation process. Because the source of the magnetic
field radiates both desirable and undesirable magnetic fields, the shielding of
the undesirable field can be critical to the well-being of the user. The
shielding of the undesirable field and the focusing of the desired field are
accomplished as heretofore described.

US5318045
This invention pertains to a method of modifying the reproduction rate of cells
by exposing the cells to north directional unipolar magnetic fields, thereby
decreasing the reproduction rate of the cells. The reproduction rate of the
cells can also be modified by exposing them to south directional unipolar
magnetic fields, thereby increasing the reproduction rate of the cells.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to methods for the modification of microbial
metabolism using unipolar magnetic fields. In one aspect, this invention is
directed to the modification of microbial metabolism, such as enhancing the
microbial activity in the biodegradation of contaminated aqueous waste streams.
In a further aspect, the present invention relates to methods for utilizing a
unipolar magnetic field under controlled conditions to modify the metabolism of
microorganisms.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The search for a biological effect due to magnetic fields has a long history
dating back a hundred years. The literature on biomagnetic effects on the
growth and development of various organisms has been quite extensive showing
both positive and negative findings. Among the positive findings attributed to
strong magnetic fields are: altered growth rate, enzyme activities, cellular
metabolism, DNA synthesis and animal orientation.
A wide variety of methods have been reported in the literature which are
directed to the use of magnetic energy as a diagnostic technique and also for
the treatment of diseases in warm blooded animals including humans. For
example, magnetic energy has been utilized quite successfully over the past
several years to promote the formation of osteoblasts in conjunction with the
healing of bone fractures. In many instances markedly improved results in
healing times have been achieved by the application of magnetic energy to the
site of bone fractures and other injuries.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,337,776, which issued Aug. 22, 1967, there is
disclosed an apparatus for generating magnetic fields which are indicated to be
particularly useful for biomedical applications. Although the patentee is not
specific as to individual applications, he does state that magnetic fields
generated by the apparatus can decrease metabolism and reacts on the spastic syndrome.
A magnetic probe is disclosed and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,664,327 which
issued May 23, 1972 and states that the probe can be employed in relatively
inaccessible locations, such as in body cavities of animals to cause relaxation
of muscle tissue.
A magnetic medical treatment device is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No.
3,921,620 which states that the effects of a magnetic field upon a living
body is dissociated by polarization and induced currents and is effective in
controlling the sympathetic nervous system.
On May 3, 1977, U.S. Pat. No. 4,020,590 issued to A. R. Davis discloses
an apparatus and method for treating seeds in a unipolar magnetic field. It is
indicated in the patent that this treatment enhances the germination rate of
the seeds, as well as providing plants having greater sugar content, increased
protein and other desirable features.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,134,935 which issued Jan. 16, 1979 also to
A. R. Davis, a method is disclosed and claimed which uses magnetic fields for
clinical examination of animals to determine damaged, diseased, abnormal or
malfunctioning parts of the body. Changes in tensioning and relaxation of the
body extremities are an indication of body abnormalities.
A method for treating cancer is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,622,952 which
issued Nov. 18, 1986 and which involves timing an electromagnetic energy to the
resonant energy absorption frequencies of the intracellular structures of the
selected cells. and then exposing a subject to this tuned electromagnetic
energy field. The field can also be tuned to the frequency which has been
calculated to be closest to the resonant frequency of the cancer cells and
furthest from the normal cells.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,622,953, which issued to the same patentee, disclosed
the identical procedure for the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions. In this
process, metabolic and activity varying substance such as ferric hydroxide and
dextran were employed and by applying the proper resonant energy, the heat in
the diseased cell is increased by an increment sufficient to kill the diseased
cell but not sufficient to kill normal cells.
In a patent issued to Robert T. Gordon on May 5, 1987, U.S. Pat. No.
4,602,359, a process is described and claimed for the treatment of cancer
in a host organism which comprises providing to the host organism minute
particles capable of being inductively heated and which are of a size which can
be absorbed into cancer cells. Thereafter the organism is subjected to an
alternating electromagnetic field to heat the particles at that point in
metabolic time when the maximum difference in magnetic susceptibility between
the cancer cells and normal cells within the region occurs, and then continuing
the inductive heating to increase intracellular temperature to selectively kill
the cancer cells.
Previous developments of directional magnetic fields began in 1936, when A. R.
Davis first discovered that the north and the south magnetic pole fields each
exhibited unique properties with respect to their effects on various forms of
life. This discovery was slow to be accepted because of investigations by
others who confused Davis' directional polarities magnetic fields with those
which are simultaneously emitted by horse shoe type magnets and by AC-powered
electromagnets. The common belief over the years relating to magnets has been
that they emanate the same potential of type of energy. This belief has been
found to be a misconception, since the two poles of a magnet are totally
different in electric potential and effect. Correspondingly, the application of
the respective poles to living systems has been found to produce quite
different results. More specifically, it has been shown that magnetic energy
has an effect on cells such as blood cells, nerves, bacteria, et al.
Preliminary investigations regarding biological effects of exposure to magnetic
fields have indicated a polarity dependence. Cells are deemed to be bioelectric
in nature, function and behavior and studies have indicated that directional
magnetic fields enhance biological activity. Moreover, due to the orientation
of such cells and of the metal elements and other ions contained therein, the
blood cells have been found to decrease certain biological effects when exposed
to the north pole and to increase other biological effects when exposed to the
magnetic south pole. This same type of reaction has been noted in connection
with other type cells of the body, it having been observed that, as a general
matter, the application of north pole energies to an existing unhealthy or
abnormal condition tends to have an arresting, quieting or relaxing effect, to
induce an overall healing reaction akin to the body's own defense mechanism. On
the other hand, the application of south pole energies tends to have a
strengthening, activating effect, which has been found useful in treating some
abnormal conditions, particularly those associated with a slowing or weakening
in function. Cancer cells exposed to the north field show a significant
decrease in the number of surviving cells after a period of incubation.
Conversely, the same type of cells, when exposed to the south field, indicated
an increase in the number of surviving cells compared to the unexposed
controls. A more detailed description of magnetic pole energies can be found in
Davis et al, Magnetism and its Effects on the Living System, Acres U.S.A.,
Kansas City, Mo. (1974) and Davis et al, The Magnetic Effect, Acres U.S.A.,
Kansas City, Mo. (1975).
The north pole, which is defined as the north seeking pole, is now believed to
provide a negative form of energy while the south pole, which is defined as the
south seeking pole, is believed to provide a positive form of energy. It has
also been found upon examination of the electron paths associated with the
fields surrounding the respective poles that the south pole end of a magnet
provides a right hand spin of electrons, i.e., a clockwise rotation of electron
movement, as contrasted with the north pole electron spin, which provides a
left hand spin or counterclockwise rotation of its electron field.
It has been further observed that the lines of magnetic energy leave the south
pole to re-enter the magnet at the Bloch Wall where the 180 degrees phase takes
place, and leave the Bloch Wall at that point to go on as the north pole energy
to re-enter the magnet at its north pole.
Magnetic enhancement or retardation of bacterial or cellular growth rates has
been reported in the literature. For example, Davis and Rawls presented
numerous examples of enhancement to seeds and various types of cellular growth
(Davis, A. R. & Rawls, Jr., W. C., Magnetism and its Effects on the Living
System, Acres, U.S.A., Kansas City, Mo., 1974). Bornstein reported magnetic
inhibition of bacterial growth in burn wounds (Bornstein, L. A., in Argosy,
June, 1968). Investigations sponsored by Bio-Magnetics Systems, Inc. have shown
that unidirectional magnetic fields inhibited or increased the growth of cancer
cells, depending on the field polarity, as disclosed by A. Trappier et al., in
Evolving Perspectives On The Exposure Risks From Magnetic Fields, Journal of
Nat. Med. Assoc., 82:621-624, September 1990.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In its broad aspect, this invention is directed to a method for the
modification of microbial metabolism through the use of unipolar magnetic
fields. In general, the method comprises exposing microbes to a unipolar
magnetic field with gauss concentrations sufficient to effect microbial
metabolism.
Bioremediation processes, in which microbes are used to repair ecological
damage, are under development at the Environmental Protection Agency and
elsewhere to treat a range of contaminants including aromatic solvents,
polychlorobiphenyls, trichloroethylene, petroleum hydrocarbons and other
organic constituents. The use of unipolar magnetic fields has the potential for
enhancing the applicability and cost-effectiveness of bioremediation for the
treatment of contaminated groundwater and contaminated soil. Specifically, it
has now been found that the application of unipolar magnetic fields enhances
microbial activity and will result in increasing the efficiency and rate of
bioremediation, and proportionally decreasing the time required to meet cleanup
goals. Thus, the unipolar magnetic field technology can save significant
remediation costs at those toxic waste sites amenable to biological
degradation. In addition, this technology can provide an integrated process for
remediation. Such an integrated process can be based upon pump, treat,
reinjection and/or direct application of magnetic field to the vadose zone to
stimulate in situ biodegradation.
The method of modifying cells by exposing the cells to directional unipolar
magnetic fields is also disclosed. The reproduction rate is increased when
exposed to a south magnetic field, and decreased when exposed to a north
magnetic field. The modification also applies to cells which derive energy for
reproduction through fermentation. The modification can be either intracellular
or modification is through the cell wall and the modification is retained
within the cell.
Accordingly, one or more of the following objects will be achieved by the
practice of this invention. It is an object of this invention to amplify or
otherwise modify microbial metabolism and thereby enhance a process which
employees microbes. These and other objects will readily become apparent to
those skilled in the art in the light of the teachings therein set forth.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In its broad aspect, the present invention is directed to the modification of
microbial metabolism by the application thereto of unipolar magnetic energy,
i.e., the energy, north or south, emanating from a single pole of a magnet,
under specific conditions to achieve the modification. The term modification is
used herein to indicate an increase or decrease in the rate and/or efficiency
of metabolism.
The biochemical processes of assimilation (anabolism) and dissimilation
(catabolism) describe metabolism in microorganisms. Assimilation is the process
by which organisms synthesize organic compounds from simple organic chemicals,
CO2, water, and other components. Dissimilation is the process by which
organisms decompose organic compounds to CO2 and water, or partially decompose
organics to lower molecular weight organics.
This invention modifies microbial metabolism using directional unipolar
magnetic fields. Laboratory experiments have shown that south pole magnetic fields
increase the rate of dissimilation in simulated bioremediation processes
whereas north pole magnetic fields inhibit the rate of dissimilation (comparing
to a control consisting of no magnetic fields).
Magnetically enhanced bioremediation is one area of application of the
invention. Bioremediation is a process by which the use of living organisms, in
conjunction with or independent from other technologies, is employed to
decontaminate a polluted system. In bioremediation, contaminants are destroyed
by the action of microbes such as soil bacteria.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a toxic waste site showing an integrated
approach for utilizing unipolar magnetic fields to modify the microbial
activity in a bioremediation process. The unipolar magnetic field can be
applied to the microbes before or after their contact with the toxic waste.
Magnetically enhanced bioremediation is applicable to organic and inorganic
wastes located in solid and aqueous media, including soil, slurries, sludges,
and sediments. The process can use water as an intermediary to provide contact
between magnetically enhanced bacteria and toxic waste substances. The presence
of water in the soil as well as groundwater, itself, is compatible with
magnetically enhanced bioremediation.
As shown in FIG. 1 a pretreatment reactor 10 can be provided with a magnet 12.
A directional magnetic field is applied to the contaminated stream 14, in the
reactor 10, by means of the magnet 12, which subjects the material in the
pretreatment reactor to a south pole magnetic field. In the main reactor 18,
microbes are added to the contaminated stream. A directional magnet 16 applies
a south pole magnetic filed to the combined biomass in the main reactor 18.
Optionally, nutrients are fed to the main reactor from a nutrient tank 11, or
other source.
The oxidase and treated microbes are reinjected into the ground and is
permitted to percolate into the ground. A magnetic blanket consisting of 9 inch
wide, 1/4 inch thick strips of pliable magnetic material 20, are laid over at
least a portion of the field, thus subjecting the field to a south pole
magnetic field.
A major advantage of this invention is that it can be used with existing
bioremediation processes without introducing a major process modification or
perturbation. The use of this invention could, however, result in the use of
smaller, less costly process hardware and shorter operation times.
This invention can also be used to enhance biochemical processes in which
microorganisms assist in producing chemicals such as plastics. For example,
bacteria will make polymers, such as polyester under the proper conditions, and
the use of unipolar magnetic fields will modify the rate and/or efficiency of
this process.
Magnetically modified microbial metabolism would provide a basis for
application to other governmental and commercial uses of microorganisms. Such
uses can include any process where microorganisms such as bacteria are actively
involved in a biochemical reaction.
The following examples are illustrative of the present invention.
EXAMPLE 1
A recirculating flow type bioreactor was fabricated from nonmagnetic materials
(plastics) and set-up as shown in FIG. 2. Solid state unipolar directional
magnetic fields were applied to the reactor which contained 100 grams of
alginate-immobilized, activated sludge prepared at the New Jersey Institute of
Technology Biotechnology Laboratory, Newark, N.J. The bacterial culture in the
sludge was immobilized in alginate matrix and activated by curing in 0.1 molar
CaCl2 solution. The magnetic field strength applied was varied. Air was
continuously supplied as the source of dissolved oxygen. The oxygen consumption
was monitored using a Clark-type dissolved oxygen probe and a strip chart
recorder. Phenol was added to a mineral salt medium as the sole carbon source.
It was constantly monitored for biodegradation in the experiment by sampling
the reservoir and analyzing the samples in a Varian 3300 gas chromatograph. The
concentration of secreted aeration in the medium, which continuously circulated
between the reservoir and the reactor, was measured daily using the standard
Lowery color response test. Each experimental run was 1200 hours (50 days) in
length.
Runs performed were:
1. Control: no magnet on the bioreactor.
2. South magnetic pole exposure to the bioreactor.
3. North magnetic pole exposure to the bioreactor.
4. Changing the north magnetic pole exposure to a south magnetic pole exposure
and the south magnetic pole exposure to a north magnetic pole exposure in the
bioreactor.
Table 1 presents the results of these experiments. When the south pole magnetic
energy was applied, biological oxidation rate was increased by a factor of two
compared to the control run without magnetic energy present (from 0.656 to
1.545).

FIG. 3 shows the effect of magnetic fields on the rate of oxygen consumption.
It can be seen that the rate increased dramatically after 4 days of directional
south pole magnetic field exposure as compared to north pole magnetic field
exposure or control.
Results obtained from studies under the influence of north pole, south pole and
during the control run are tabulated in Table 1. It can be seen that the
highest average rate of phenol biodegradation and oxygen consumption is found
during the run when south pole is attached to the bioreactor. When the magnetic
south pole was applied, it increased the biological oxidation activity (oxygen
consumption rate) by a factor of two as compared to the control run without
magnetic field (from 0.7 to 1.5). FIG. 3 shows the effect of magnetic field on
the rate of O2 consumption. It can be seen that the rate increases dramatically
after 4 days under the influence of south pole as compared to the control and
north. One of the measures of biodegradation is the increase in activity that
is the rate of oxygen consumption by the microbes in presence of a substrate
like phenol. An increase in oxygen consumption indicates that it is being
utilized by the microorganisms to break down phenol into its metabolic products
which ultimately are CO2 and water.
The phenol consumption rate is faster by nearly 30% in case of the run with the
south pole as compared to the control run.
FIG. 4 indicates that the phenol concentration goes down rapidly under the
influence of south pole comparison to the north pole and the control. These
observations are consistent with those from the rate of oxygen consumption
monitoring.
Significant amounts of protein build-up in the liquid phase verified that
biological activity was enhanced when magnetic south pole was applied to the
system as compared to the control as shown in FIG. 5. Microorganisms release
enzymes extracellularly which in turn attack the substrate. A higher amount of
proteins in the reaction medium is a positive measure of biodegradation. FIG. 5
indicates that the south pole magnetic field greatly enhanced the concentration
of protein in this reactor (protein is produced from phenol degradation). In
this experiment it was observed that the pH changed from 7.9 to 8.5.
FIG. 6 shows the effect of repeatedly changing the south pole magnetic field to
a north pole magnetic field and a north pole magnetic field to a south pole
magnetic field in the bioreactor. The south pole field was consistently
activating whereas the north pole field was inhibitory.
FIG. 7 and 8 show the effect of magnetic field on the rate of biodegradation
and protein concentration under 1500 and 3500 gauss magnetic south pole. The
highest rate of biodegradation is 25.6 ppm/h and the highest protein
concentration8s 2250 ug/ml after 11 days under 1500 gauss.
FIG. 9 shows the effect of magnetic field on the rate of O2 consumption. It
indicates that the highest rate of O2 consumption is 1649 nmol/ml*hr after 10
days under the influence of 1500 gauss magnetic south pole.

EXAMPLE 2
The recirculation flow type bioreactor shown in FIG. 2 was used in these
studies. For pre-exposure, free microorganisms were exposed to south pole
magnetic fields for 3 days prior to use in the bioreactor which contained
immobilized activated sludge and phenol. Oxygen, phenol concentration and pH
were measured as in Example 1. Each experimental run was 1296 hours (54 days)
in length.
Runs performed were:
1. Control: no magnetic on the bioreactor; bacteria not pre-exposed.
2. No magnetic field on the bioreactor; pre-exposed bacteria.

EXAMPLE 3
A polyester copolymer of hydroxybutric acid and hydroxyvaleric acid (PHBV) is
produced by bacteria in a reactor by fermenting a carbon source as shown in
FIG. 10. When a bacteria such as Alcaligenes eutrophus is depleted of the
nitrogen it requires to multiply, growth is inhibited. The carbon source, such
as glucose, can then be added to the fermenter, causing the organism to make
granules of polyester with the abundant carbon instead of using it to grow. The
conventional process is so slow as to be economically unfeasible. The process
is repeated with the exception that a south unipolar magnetic field is applied
to the organism during the glucose fermenation step. The rate of fermentation
will be substantially enhanced.
The effects of unipole application is further applicable in the field of
biology. The application of a south magnetic field speeds up the reproduction
of cells, while the north field slows reproduction.
Fermentation, a simple, anaerobic method to generate energy in the cell, is
commonly used in yeast products and to produce alcholoic beverages.
Carbohydrate molecules breakdown into simpler molecules such as ethyl alcohol,
lactic acid, or carbon dioxide, releasing energy in the form of adenosine
triphosphate (ATP). An applied south field dramatically speeds up the
fermentation process. Chemostats, with their controlled environment, are ideal
rapid, mass reproduction of cells, through fermentation, in combination with a
unipolar magnetic field.
Further, the magnetic fields influence the growth rate of the aerobically
reproduced cells. The application of a south magnetic field increases the
production of enzymes without fracturing the cells. The permeability of the
cell walls is increased which allows for the influx and efflux of enzymes.
The magnetic fields affect the cells either of two ways. The first is through
the cell wall and would include the production and expression of proteins, such
as enzymes, insulin and other hormones, interferons and antibiotics. The second
is affecting the cells intracellularly and retained the affect within the cell.
The appropriate magnetic field is applied for a time period and an intensity
which is based on the recepient of the field, the medium and the desired end
result. Examples would be many new drugs under evaluation for their
effectiveness against cancer and aids.
Although research has been done on the affects of magnetism in both
fermentation and other biological processes, they have used bipolar, complex or
rotating fields. The instant invention relates to the consistent use of either
a north or south magnetic field to produce a desired result. Thus, the cell
reproduction can be decreased or increased dependent on the requirements.

Apparatus
and method for exposing seeds to a magnetic field
US4020590
Apparatus for magnetically treating seeds comprises a magnet for producing a
unipolar magnetic field, an enclosed generally cylindrical housing having a
closable access opening therein in which said seeds are placed for treatment,
drive means associated with the housing for rotating said housing and imparting
rolling and tumbling motion to the seeds within the housing, the housing being
disposed with respect to the magnet such that the seeds move through the
magnetic field as they roll and tumble. By magnetically treating the seeds in a
unipolar magnetic field while rolling and tumbling the seeds, the
characteristics of plants grown therefrom are favorably altered.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to magneto magnetic energy and, more
particularly, to a method and apparatus for the application of such energy to
seeds.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is now generally accepted that when any biological living system lives in a
strong magnetic environment, its physical and genetic development is to some
extent altered. For example, it has long been known that the rate of seed
germination and the rate of plant growth from seeds is affected by magnetism.
This phenomenon is discussed in U. J. Pittman, "Biomagnetism--a Mysterious
Plant Growth Factor", Canada Agriculture, Summer--1968 edition. In a more
recent report, Moustafa, "Effect of Seed Exposure to Magnetic Field on
Plant Physical Properties and Yield", ASAE Paper No. 73-316 (June, 1973),
concluded that exposing seeds to an electromagnetic field prior to planting
appeared to increase the rate of germination and the total plant leaf area, at
least under growth chamber conditions.
In an effort to reduce the necessary exposure time for seeds to become
adequately treated by magnetism so that the magnetically treated seeds can be
commercially used, Amburn disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,675,367 an apparatus for
moving seeds through a magnetic field. The Amburn apparatus consists
essentially of an elongated tube having an electromagnet mounted thereon
intermediate its ends to establish a magnetic flux field within the tube. A
conveyor assembly, comprising an auger, conveys the seeds through the tube in
such a manner that the seeds roll and tumble while within the magnetic field to
expose the seeds in a multiplicity of positions with respect to the magnetic
field. Amburn reports that treating seeds in this fashion increased crop yield
from the treated seeds as compared with crop yield from the untreated seeds.
The magnetic field to which Amburn exposed his seeds was bipolar in that it had
both a north and a south pole applying their respective energies to the seeds.
Amburn points out that there were some indications that greater success was
achieved in treating the seeds when the north pole was located at the inlet end
of the apparatus. However, there was no suggestion or appreciation that one of
the poles could or would produce different results from the other of the poles.
This is, of course, because Amburn subscribed to the commmon belief extant over
the years relating to magnets, which has been that the two magnetic poles,
north and south, are homogeneous and that they emanate the same potential type
of energy. This belief has now been found to be a misconception--the two poles
of a magnet are in fact totally different in electric potential and effect--and
the application of the respective poles to living systems has been found to
produce quite different results.
The north pole (which is defined as the south-seeking pole) is now believed to
provide a negative form of energy while the south pole (which is defined as the
north-seeking pole) is believed to provide a positive form of energy. To
support this discovery, it has been found that upon examination of the electron
paths associated with the fields surrounding the respective poles that the
south pole end of a magnet provides a right hand spin of electrons, i.e., a
clockwise rotation of electron movement, as contrasted with the north pole
electron spin, which presents a left hand spin or counter-clockwise rotation of
its electron field. It has further been observed that the lines of magnetic
energy leave the south pole to re-enter the magnet at the Bloch Wall where a
180 DEG phase change takes place, then leave the Bloch Wall at that point to
then go on as the north pole energy to re-enter the magnet at its north pole.
For a more detailed discussion of this phenomena, see Davis et al, Magnetism
and its Effects on the Living System and The Magnetic Effect (Exposition Press,
Hicksville, N.Y.).
The differing effects of the north and south poles, respectively, on seed
germination rate and plant growth height was appreciated in a somewhat
different context by Tsukamoto in British Patent Specification No. 1,065,864
wherein a disintegrable permanent magnet for use in the soil is disclosed. Of
course, the Tsukamoto teaching does not extend to an apparatus for pretreating
the seeds prior to planting or to a method for rotating and tumbling the seeds
prior to planting in a unipolar magnetic field.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method and
apparatus for unipolar treatment of seeds and/or seedlings in a magnetic field
prior to planting.
It is another object of the invention to provide a method and apparatus for
closely controlling the exposure time of seeds in a unipolar magnetic field.
It is still another object of the invention to provide an apparatus which can
accommodate, without damage, all sizes and shapes of seeds and seedlings while
rolling and tumbling them in a unipolar magnetic field.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide an apparatus for
simultaneously exposing seeds or seedlings in contact with a liquid or gaseous
medium to a unipolar magnetic field.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following
description and appended claims.
Briefly stated, in accordance with the aforesaid objects, the present invention
provides a housing adapted for receiving and containing seeds or seedlings
which housing includes drive means for causing movement of the housing, e.g.,
rotating the housing about an axis, to cause the seeds and seedlings to roll
and tumble therein. One pole of a magnet produces a magnetic field through
which said housing rotates such that the seeds and seedlings therein are more
or less continuously exposed to the unipolar magnetic field. Timer means may be
operatively associated with the drive means in order to closely control the
exposure time of the seeds and seedlings to the field, which exposure time has
been found to be critical for achieving optimum improved results. The housing
has communicating therewith inlet and outlet ports for receiving and
discharging gaseous or liquid materials therethrough and which provides the
capability of magnetically treating the seeds together with said fluid
materials for reasons which will become more fully apparent hereinafter.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The invention will be better understood in all its embodiments from a
consideration of the following description taken together with the accompanying
drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an elevational view of an exemplary cylindrical seed containing
housing, drive means therefor and unipolar magnetic field producing means of
the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an elevational view of another embodiment of the apparatus of the
present invention schematically showing liquid and gas ports communicating with
the interior of the housing and timer means operatively associated with the drive
means.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention is primarily concerned with the use of magneto magnetic
energy, i.e., magnetic energy derived from a magnet as opposed to some other
source, on seeds and seedlings. By use of the term "seeds" herein, it
is intended to encompass any plant material from which further plants may by
grown, e.g., seeds, seedlings, bulbs, cuttings, stalks, and the like. One
particularly advantageous "seed" are sugar cane stalks (e.g., 5-7
feet long) which, after treatment in accordance with the present invention, may
be planted horizontally. It has been found that after planting, shoots appear
to grow from the stalk joints. Any type of magnet is suitable for use herein in
which the poles are sufficiently separated that the energy of each pole can be
isolated from the energy of the other pole. In this way a unipolar magnetic
field can be applied to the seeds. Thus, separation of the poles is the prime
requisite in selecting an appropriate magnet. Straight bar or cylindrical
magnets provide maximum pole separation and are desirable. Either solid state
or long-wound electromagnets, however, are equally useful.
A typical apparatus for exposing seeds to a unipolar magnetic field is shown in
FIG. 1 generally at 10. The apparatus consists of a magnet 12, a housing 14
which moves through the magnetic field created by magnet 12, and drive means 16
for causing the desired movement of housing 14. In one preferred form of the
invention, housing 14 comprises a cylindrical enclosure having opposite
generally parallel end walls 18, 20 joined by cylindrical surface 22. However,
it will be appreciated that housing 14 need not be cylindrical but can assume
any configuration consistent with the herein described objectives of the
invention. Moreover, the housing may be of any suitable dimensions to
accommodate the seed to be treated. An access opening 24 is formed in the
cylindrical surface 22 to permit access to the inside of housing 14. Seeds to
be exposed to the magnetic field may be placed into and removed from the
housing through opening 24. Removably closing access opening 24 is cover 26
which includes a handle 28 thereon for ease of removing from and replacing over
opening 24. The cover may be held in place over access opening 24 by any
conventional means.
End walls 18 and 20 include a centrally disposed aperture 29, 30 therein for
receiving shaft 32 therethrough. The shaft passes longitudinally through
cylindrical housing 14 and is fixedly mounted to the end walls such that rotation
of the shaft rotates housing 14 (the axis of which is preferably coaxial with
the shaft). One end 34 of shaft 32 includes a pulley wheel 36 on which drive
belt 38 is mounted. Belt 38 is driven in the conventional manner through motor
assembly 40 which includes motor 42, motor shaft 44 and motor pulley wheel 46.
Shaft 32, pulley wheel 36 and motor assembly 40 comprise drive means 16. It
will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to the drive means
illustrated and may include any suitable drive means for imparting motion to
housing 14 such that the seeds therein roll and tumble in the magnetic field,
preferably for rotating housing 14 about its axis.
Drive means 16 rotates housing 14 about shaft 32 in either direction to expose
the seeds within housing 14 to the unipolar magnetic field created by magnet
12, which magnet preferably extends axially along one side of housing 14.
Magnet 12 may be mounted in any manner that will permit the energies of a
single pole thereof to be applied to the seed contents of housing 14. As shown,
the magnetic field of magnet 12 penetrates the cylindrical surface 22 of
housing 14. Alternatively, magnet 12 can be disposed adjacent either or both
end walls 18, 20 directing its energy through the end walls of the housing. In
still other configurations magnet 12 may be attached to the inner or outer
surfaces of housing 14, the only limitation being that the magnet must be so
oriented that the contents of housing 14 are exposed to the energies of only
one of the magnetic poles. For convenience, in a preferred form of the
invention magnet 12 is a substantially flat magnetic material, generally
rectangular in configuration, wherein one side 12a thereof constitutes the
south pole of the magnet and the opposite side 12b thereof constitutes the
north pole of the magnet. An elongated magnet support enclosure 48 having one
open end is disposed adjacent one elongated side of the cylindrical surface 22.
The flat magnet 12 is slidably received within enclosure 48 with one of its polar
sides 12a or 12b directed toward housing 14 to expose the contents of the
housing to the energies of that pole. For convenience, magnet 12 may include a
knob or handle 13 projecting from one end thereof to provide a gripping portion
for sliding the magnet into and out of enclosure 48. If it is desired to change
the magnetic pole to which the housing contents are exposed, it is a simple
matter to grasp knob 13, slide magnet 12 out of the open end of enclosure 48,
flip the magnet over to direct the other pole toward the housing and then
reinsert the magnet into the enclosure 48 through the open end thereof. Of
course, if magnet 12 is an electromagnet, then the polarity of the magnet can
be changed electrically, e.g., by reversing the current flow.
To utilize apparatus 10 for exposing seeds to one of the poles of magnet 12,
cover 26 is removed from opening 24, the seeds to be treated are placed within
the enclosure, and cover 26 is replaced over the opening. The desired magnetic
pole is selected and magnet 12 is oriented so that the proper pole faces the
seed housing, after which magnet 12 is placed into the magnet enclosure 48.
Motor 42 is actuated and, via motor shaft 42, pulley wheels 46 and 36 and drive
belt 38, shaft 32 is rotated, thus rotating the housing 14 thereabout. As the
housing rotates, the seeds therein are moved through the magnetic field
directed toward housing 14 by magnet 12. The seeds tumble and rotate end over
end and side over side through and in the magnetic field such that all portions
of the seeds are exposed to the field. The motion of one seed against another
or against the inner surfaces of the enclosure, which may optionally be lined
with a soft, rubberized material to prevent physical damage to the seeds, has a
frictional effect which causes the generation of heat with the result that both
the seeds and the air in the housing tend to become warm. This warmth is
believed to expand the seeds to a certain extent and to make them more
receptive to the influence of the applied magnetic field. Rotation of housing
14 is continued for the desired exposure time interval after which the motor is
shut off and rotation ceases. If the magnet used is an electromagnet, through
appropriate electrical connection of the current flow control to the magnet and
to the motor, a single switch could simultaneously shut both off.
It is important that the parts of the rotating housing, the shafts, pulleys,
drive means, magnet enclosure, etc. have very low magnetic retentivity in order
that the seeds can remain in the housing without further exposure to a magnetic
field after the desired exposure time has expired. Thus, construction materials
such as plastic, aluminum, brass or like materials which will not retain
magnetism are preferred for use. If a magnet other than an electromagnet is
used, it is desirable to either remove it from enclosure 48 upon cessation of
rotation or otherwise prevent its magnetic energies from further influencing
the seeds. This latter objective can be achieved by interposing a magnetic
field impermeable shield (not shown) between magnet 12 and housing 14 to
prevent the magnetic field from reaching the seeds. Alternatively, of course,
the seeds can be promptly removed from the housing.
Another embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 2 wherein rotation
of housing 14 is achieved by a second form of drive means. Housing 14 is
supported on two longitudinally extending shafts 50 and 52 with the outer
cylindrical surface 22 of the housing frictionally engaging the shafts. Shaft
50 is journaled for free rotation in support means 54 at opposite ends thereof.
Shaft 52 is also journaled for rotation in support means 54. However, shaft 52
is driven by motor assembly 40, which may include motor 42 directly coupled to
shaft 52 as shown in FIG. 2. Alternatively, the motor assembly may also include
motor pulley wheel 46 acting through a drive belt 38 and a shaft pulley wheel
36 mounted on shaft 52 (as shown in FIG. 1). The rotation of shaft 52 caused by
motor assembly 40 is transmitted to and causes frictionally engaged cylindrical
housing 14 to also rotate. The rotation of housing 14, which is supported on
and frictionally engages shaft 50, causes shaft 50 to rotate also. In this
manner, the seeds may be rotated and tumbled and exposed to the unipolar
magnetic field created by magnet 12 in much the same manner as with the
apparatus of FIG. 1.
During exposure to the unipolar magnetic field the seeds may be treated with or
exposed to gaseous or liquid media, such as air, water, liquid fertilizers, and
the like. In order that gaseous media can reach the seeds, valve controlled
inlet gas port 56 and outlet gas port 58 communicate with the interior of the
housing through end walls 18 and 20, respectively. These gas ports are
particularly useful for venting the warm air and/or introducing cool air into
the housing. Likewise, valve controlled liquid inlet line 60 and discharge
liquid line 62 communicate with the interior of the housing through end walls
18 and 20, respectively. Through lines 60 and 62, liquids such as water, liquid
fertilizer, and the like can be intimately admixed with the seeds and
simultaneously exposed to the unipolar magnetic field. It is believed that
exposure of water and other liquids to the same unipolar magnetic field as
influences the seeds alters the water sufficiently to beneficially improve its
characteristics as a germination initiator.
While the length of exposure time and the strength of the magnetic field to
which the seeds or other housing contents are exposed will vary among seed
varieties and types and are dependent to a large extent upon the desired
characteristics sought in the plants resulting from the exposed seeds, the
magnetic field strength is desirably maintained at the seeds in the range 600
to 3500 gauss. Most desirably, magnetic field strength at the seeds should be
in the range 600 to 800 gauss. Optimum seed exposure time also varies
considerably with seed varieties and types and with other exposure conditions.
Nevertheless, it can fairly be stated that seed exposure times should be
controlled generally to from 5 seconds to 14 hours, and more usually from 5
seconds to 60 minutes. The extended exposure periods approaching 14 hours are
useful only for a few seed types, e.g., tobacco. Too little exposure, of
course, will not develop the desired characteristics in the seed. On the other
hand, too great an exposure time can adversely affect the characteristics of
the exposed seeds. Indeed, it has been found that there is an optimum exposure
time for each variety of seed and the usefulness of the apparatus can be
enhanced by operating motor 42 via a timer 64 which includes an indicator lamp
68 which lights when the apparatus is operating. The face of timer 64 may
include a pointer dial 70 and a plurality of indicia 72 arranged thereabout
whereby each indicia represents by number keyed to a chart or by seed name, the
appropriate timer setting for each seed type. Where numbers are used as
indicia, a typical chart would associate each number with one or more seed types.
Thus, for illustrative purposes only, to process corn, dial 70 could be moved
to position -10-; cotton and/or watermelon seeds might best be treated at
position -8-; and the like. Preferably, the dial 70 is spring-biased to the off
position and is clockwise rotatable to point to one of the indicia 72 which
indicate a predetermined time exposure for the seeds to be treated. When the
dial 70 is other than in the "OFF" position, the electrical circuitry
is closed and current flows to the motor which drives housing 14. The timer
dial 70 rotates counter-clockwise until it reaches the "OFF" position
at which point the electrical circuitry to the motor 42 (and to the magnet 12,
if it is an electromagnet) is automatically opened. If desired, in addition to
lamp 68, other signals may be used to indicate the end of seed exposure time,
such as bells, buzzers, and the like.
As a general matter, as will be more clearly indicated in the following
examples, south pole exposure of seeds produces plants having lower acidity,
thicker but shallower root structures, larger leaves, greater sugar content,
faster germination rate and increased protein content compared to north pole
exposed seeds. North pole exposure of seeds produces plants having greater
yield, taller plants and longer and deeper roots than south pole exposed
plants. As a result, south pole exposed seeds produce plants having generally
better individual characteristics in terms of nutritional values and north pole
exposed seeds produce plants having larger size and greater yields. However,
the foregoing conclusions are merely generalizations, and the particular pole
to which a particular seed should be exposed varies on a seed type by seed type
basis. Aside from these general trends, there is little consistency in results
attained between different seed types under similar exposure conditions
although for each seed type the results appear to be consistently reproducible.
Thus it cannot be stated categorically that north pole exposure is better or
worse than south pole exposure--it depends upon the seed type and the desired
results. For example, although south pole exposure may produce a plant having
higher protein and sugars content than north pole exposure under ideal growth
conditions, since the south pole root structure is shallow, such a plant would
do poorly in arid areas. Therefore, it might be desirable to use north pole
exposure to obtain deeper root penetration notwithstanding that the protein and
sugars content in the resulting plant might not be as good under ideal
conditions. Under the arid conditions, north pole protein and sugars content
may turn out to be better because the plant will be healthier.
The following examples illustrate how seed exposure in the apparatus of the
present invention to north and south pole magnetic fields influences the
chemical and physical characteristics of the plants grown therefrom.
EXAMPLE I
Commercial dry corn and food table corn seeds were divided into three groups.
The first group was exposed by rotating and tumbling in a magnetic field
created by a magnetic north pole for a fixed time period. The second group was
similarly exposed for the same time period to the magnetic field created by a
magnetic south pole. The third group was rotated and tumbled in the apparatus,
but without any magnetic field, for the same time period. The magnetic field
strengths for both north and south poles were 600 gauss at the seeds. The
treatment time for all groups was 15 minutes. A large number of separate
plantings were made for seeds from each group under identical soil and ambient
conditions. The seeds developed into plants and the plants were all harvested
at the same time. The following Table I tabulates the averaged results for all
plantings for each group for the indicated plant characteristic measured by
conventional techniques.

The foregoing data are noteworthy for a number of reasons. First, it appears
that both north and south pole exposed seeds produced plants having improved
quantities of sugars and proteins, although south pole exposed seeds produced
plants which were superior in these characteristics. Second, south pole exposed
seeds appeared to germinate more rapidly than north pole exposed seeds which,
in turn, germinated more rapidly than the controls. Third, north pole exposed
seeds produced the greatest yields, followed by south pole exposed seeds and
then by the controls. In each case, yield was calculated in ears/acre. Finally,
both north and south pole magnetic field exposure seemed to increase acidity in
the cob compared to the control. However, in the kernels, south pole exposure
decreased acidity although north pole exposure increased acidity.
EXAMPLE II
As in Example I, corn seeds in three groups were exposed to 600 gauss north and
south pole fields and to no magnetic field whatever while being rotated and
tumbled in the apparatus of the present invention for 15 minutes. The purpose
of this example was to demonstrate the effects of exposure on various corn seed
varieties.
Nine separate corn seed varieties were exposed to a south pole field and to no
field at all and then a number of separate plantings of each seed variety were
made. Measurements of stalk lengths in inches were made 30 days after planting.
The results for each variety are set forth in Table II.

It is apparent that south pole exposure resulted in increased stalk length 30
days after planting. North pole exposure resulted in still greater growth
increases relative to the controls, averaging about 35% increased growth as
compared with the Table II data which averaged about 31% increased growth.
The stalks were analyzed for protein content. It was found that the protein
averaged 14.7% in the controls while south pole exposed seeds yielded plants
averaging 22.7% as shown in Table III where the corn varieties are identified
by their corresponding numbers from Table II.

Protein measurements on the whole cob with the kernels intact showed that
protein in the controls averaged 27% whereas south pole exposed seeds yielded
plants averaging 36.4% protein.
Stalk diameter measurements were also made at harvesting on each of the
varieties. The results appear in Table IV.

Similar studies made on plants grown from magnetic field exposed soy beans,
beans, sugar beets, peas, melons, cucumbers, oats, wheat, rye, barley and
twelve other vegetable and grain plants yielded results indicating about 12 to
30% increases in plant growth and characteristics in the plants grown from
north or south pole exposed seeds compared with the controls.
EXAMPLE III
Seeds from radish plants were exposed in the apparatus of the present invention
to north and south pole magnetic fields of about 1200 gauss for varying time
intervals. The seeds were planted in substantially identical adjacent plots and
subjected to substantially identical environmental conditions. After 30 days
the length of the plant leaves were measured to determine the optimum exposure
time for radishes.

It is interesting that the optimum exposure time period for north pole exposure
of radish seeds as determined from 30 day leaf length is 5 minutes or 60
minutes. For south pole exposed seeds, the optimum exposure time appears to be
45 minutes or 25 minutes.
EXAMPLE IV
The procedure of Example III was practiced on a variety of corn seeds using
only the north pole field at 1200 gauss. The stalk height was measured after 30
days. The results are set forth below:

The optimum exposure time for this variety corn seed based upon maximizing

using only the south pole field at 600 gauss. The stalk height measurements

The procedure of Example III was practiced on English pea seeds by exposing the
seeds to 1200 gauss of a north pole field. Thirty days after planting, plant
height was measured and appears below:
TABLE VIII
Plant Height

5 minutes 31/4
10 minutes 51/2
15 minutes 21/4
25 minutes 4
45 minutes 51/2
60 minutes 31/4
Optimum north pole exposure time for maximizing plant height of this seed
variety appears to be 10 or 45 minutes.
EXAMPLE VII
The procedure of Example III was practiced on English pea seeds by exposing the
seeds to 1200 gauss of a south pole field. Thirty days after planting, plant height
was measured and appears below:

The optimum time of south pole exposure for this variety pea seed based upon
maximizing plant height appears to be 10 minutes.
EXAMPLE VIII
The procedure of Example III was practiced on a variety of string bean seeds
using only the south pole field at 600 gauss. Plant height measurements were
made 19 days after planting with the following results:

Exposure Time Plant Height (in.)
0 (control) 5
5 minutes 41/4
10 minutes 41/2
15 minutes 7
30 minutes 6
45 minutes 31/2
60 minutes 6
The optimum south pole exposure time to maximize plant height for these string
bean seeds appears to be 15 minutes.
EXAMPLE IX
The procedure of Example VIII was practiced on cantaloupe, watermelon and
tomato seeds using only the south pole energies at 600 gauss. Plant height
measurements were made 19 days after planting. Tabulated below are the optimum
south pole exposure times for each type seed to maximize plant height:
Watermelon 5 minutes
Cantaloupe 10 minutes
Tomato 10 minutes
The foregoing examples indicate that rotating and tumbling plant seeds in the
apparatus of the present invention while exposing them to the magnetic field energies
of only one magnetic pole improves many of the characteristics of the resulting
plant. No supportable explanation for the differing effects of the respective
poles and the varying exposure times appears available. However, it is believed
that each pole affects each element and organic bond in the plant structure in
a different manner and because, by their nature, each seed and plant variety
have differing elemental compositions and structures, the magnetic pole
exposure effect differs for each plant. However, the common thread in the
experimental results appears to be that exposure to a unipolar magnetic field
generally improves plant characteristics over similarly treated but unexposed
controls and that the exercise of control over exposure time is critical.
Moreover, it has been found that unipolar magnetic field exposure in a distinct
improvement over bipolar magnetic field exposure.

* Placing magnets on acupuncture points or
following the protocols of Dr Goiz biomagnetism may affect energy systems
throughout the body and are outside the scope of this paper.
Using the north or south pole in
magnetic therapy was made famous through the work of Albert Roy Davis and Walter C. Rawls throughout
the 1940-70 s and their two books.
Others came later, such as William Philpot MD and
doctors Mary and Richard Broeringmeyer. To the best of our knowledge, all are now deceased and with the
passing of the decades and in light of newer evidence, it s time for a
systematic review of their published work so as to be better informed.
The question of using the north or south
pole is redundant with regards to Quadrapolar magnets since both poles are
applied equally. One reason this is necessary is because Q Magnets are a
multipolar magnet and for very good reasons both poles are placed facing the
body. The close interactions of the two poles introduces a more complex field
and magnetic field gradients.
When quadrapolar magnets are used, an
array of 2 x 2 alternating poles face the body in what is a symmetrical field,
much like the yin-yang symbol. For more detail, see how Q Magnets work.

Davis & Rawls Books
There are two relevant books by Davis
& Rawls for the purpose of this discussion.
1. Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System. 1974 Albert Roy Davis
& Walter C. Rawls Jr. Acres U.S.A., Inc. Austin, Texas. Our copy was
published in the year 2000 and in its thirteenth printing, so many thousands of
people must have it. Available on Amazon or
Download from RexResearch.
2. The Magnetic Blueprint For Life. 1979 Albert Roy Davis & Walter C.
Rawls Jr. Acres U.S.A., Inc. Kansas City, Missouri. Available on Amazon or Download from Archive.org.
The main theme of Davis & Rawls work
can be summarised from these two sentences
The discovery that magnetism has at least two separate
energy fields, not one as formerly believed, is a discovery that touches upon
every life of every human being in our civilisation. It is a natural law that
involves industry, agriculture, medical areas, and all the natural areas.
From The Magnetic Blueprint For Life by Davis & Rawls.
First, we should define some terms, some
of which are contradictory and the cause of much confusion. This confusion
stems from Davis & Rawls own misunderstanding of basic physics with regard
to magnetic poles.
Bipolar
all magnets are bipolar, in that they comprise two poles, the north and south
pole. In magnetic therapy however, bipolar can mean that both poles are
positioned against the body.
Unipolar all magnets are understood to have two poles, the north and south. So
technically speaking a unipolar magnet (monopole) does not exist. In magnetic
therapy, unipolar is sometimes used when only one pole is placed against the
body.
Multipolar similar to the term bipolar in the context of magnetic therapy,
that is more than one pole is positioned against the body. The term multipolar
is preferable as it s unlikely to be confused with the common description of a
bipolar magnet .
North pole referred to by Davis & Rawls as the positive pole, biosouth
or the geological south pole and often coloured red. By convention, the north
pole of a magnet will point to the geographic North Pole (the Arctic). It
follows then that the Earth s North Pole is actually the magnetic south pole.
When Davis & Rawls refer to north pole magnetic energy , they are referring
to Earth s magnetic field at the North Pole, which is actually the magnetic
south pole.
South pole referred to by Davis & Rawls as the negative pole, bionorth
or the geological north pole and often coloured green. By convention, the north
pole of a magnet will point to the geographic North Pole (the Arctic). It
follows then that the Earth s North Pole is actually the magnetic south pole.
When Davis & Rawls refer to south pole magnetic energy , they are referring
to Earth s magnetic field at the South Pole, which is actually the magnetic
north pole.
NOTE: In physics,
positive and negative are used in relation to electric charges, but not
magnetic poles. The use of the terms positive or negative with regard to
magnetic therapy is unhelpful, because it can erroneously imply benefit or
harm. The confusion from these terms alone make it very difficult to know
whether followers of Davis & Rawls are in fact using the north or south
pole of a magnet.
The Primary Discovery
From Chapter 4 of the book Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System .
The primary discovery that the two poles of a magnet act to change and
alter biological systems in two completely different ways was made by Dr Albert
Roy Davis in 1936.
The chance discovery that lead to this
line of thinking came through Davis in 1936. Three cardboard dishes of earthworms were
inadvertently placed in three different magnetic surrounds. One each on the
north and south poles of a large horse shoe magnet and the third off to the
side that acted much like a control. According to Davis, by the next morning,
the worms on the south pole had eaten through the carboard dish, while the
other two showed no change. This one event lead to hundreds of experiments and
investigations, that over the ensuing decades produced the published papers and
patents that we look at below.
So what of these earthworms? By sheer coincidence, scientists have recently been investigating
the effects of magnetic fields on earthworms. What Davis stumbled upon in 1936
was the phenomenon of magnetotropism. Tropisms are the growth or turning of an organism in response to an
external stimulus. For example
·
Phototropism a response to light; e.g.
plants grow towards the light
·
Gravitropism a response to gravity; e.g.
plant roots grow downward
·
Chemotropism a response to chemicals;
e.g. plant roots growing towards nutrients
·
Magnetotropism a response to magnetic
fields; e.g. starved earthworms travel down.
A recent experiment took advantage of
earthworm behaviour. It s known that hungry earthworms prefer to migrate down,
but when well-fed go up. If the surrounding magnetic field is inverted, the
direction of the earthworm migration is reversed. Another experiment used worms
from both Britain and Australia which occupy areas on the globe with opposite
magnetic polarity. Worms isolated from Australia migrated in the opposite
direction of the British worms. See Vidal-Gadea V. (2018). Temporal and spatial
factors that influence magnetotaxis in C. elegans. Download HERE.
Magnetoreception
Magnetoreception is
a more general response whereby organisms can detect a magnetic field and use
them for various biologically relevant purposes. It s well known for instance
that animals such as birds and turtles and even bacteria will use the direction
of the Earth s magnetic field for migration. New research is
showing that even humans are able to detect changes in the Earth s magnetic
field.
Many of the observations by Davis &
Rawls and others that lead to the claim that a magnet s north and south poles
are two separate energy fields are simply examples of magnetoreception or
magnetotropism. Just like the earthworm experiment, there s a common trend with
regard to almost all of their work. Predictably, it ends with a simple
explanation or little or no evidence; read on and see for yourself.
Many of the observations by Davis & Rawls and others that lead to
the claim that a magnet s north and south poles are two separate energy fields
are simply examples of magnetoreception or magnetotropism.
For years we ve been reluctant to
dissect the work of Davis & Rawls. After all, what s not to like about two
guys who run experiments out of their garage in order to buck the system? But
if through erroneous and unsubstantiated claims, people adopt practices using
magnets that are misleading, who benefits?
For instance, many people who follow the
work of Davis & Rawls and/or Philpott claim that you should not use
multipolar magnets on the body. But, when you consider that around 90% of the
positive clinical trials using static magnets do in fact use multipolar magnets
such as Quadrapolar, Bioflex and Nikken. You
should realise that by following this advice, you are missing out on the best
that static magnets have to offer. So when wives tales based on fallacy and
error are influencing people s behaviour, then it s time pick apart the
foundations of these ideas.
2. Contemporary Research
Almost all of the current research into
the biological effects of static magnetic fields ignore hypothetical
differences between the north and south pole. For instance, studies are showing
that stronger magnetic fields can assist in making blood less viscous
(thinner), which could have applications for protecting against heart disease.
But none of these studies mention possible differences in the effects of the
north and sole pole, but they do mention magnetic field gradients. Read our article on Blood Flow and Magnet Therapy that debunks
myths.
Another area of enquiry is the use of
magnets in the treatment of water. What s widely regarded as the most
comprehensive review of magnetic water treatment states that, the gradient of the magnetic field is more important
than the magnetic field strength itself ,
but makes no mention of the north or south pole1. Read our article on Magnetised Water to get the latest science in
this area.
Those wedded to the north/south pole
concept would simply say it s been avoided, whereas the scientists studying in
the field understand that there is almost no rationale or evidence to bother
investing time to pursue the subject. This also applies to decades of research
into the safety of the MRI and the World Health Organisation s
comprehensive report on the safety of static magnetic fields. The 369 page
report by 18 eminent scientists is completely silent on the issue, download the report here.
Recently Published Articles
Recently published material may look
credible, take for instance the following paper published in the International
Journal of Pharma Medicine and Biological Sciences. 2 The researchers, Shalatonin et. al say that, It is experimentally shown that there are fundamental
differences in the biophysical effects of the magnetic field of the north and
south polarity. Some of studies found that each pole of a magnet has specific
effects that are quite different.
This paper references David & Rawls book and seven additional
papers in the scientific literature to support its claim that each pole of a magnet has specific effects that are
quite different . We thought, this could be interesting so we accessed and read every paper discussed below.
This study relates to the use of
bacteria in the breakdown of industrial waste and has been cited 20 times.3 The results of this study showed that the phenol concentration
decreased rapidly under the influence of the south pole in comparison with the
north pole. It makes no mention of possible causes of such differences and
could be explained by magnetoreception, which many bacteria respond to.
Only one of the 20 papers that cite this
study (Stimulation of porphyrin production by application of an external
magnetic field to a photosynthetic bacterium, mentioned north and south pole in
the table of results, but it wasn t relevant enough to mention in the summary
or discussion.4
So it seems this line of inquiry ended
here with no further research on the topic. What s interesting is that both of
Jung s studies acknowledged Biomagnetic Systems, that is Walter C. Rawls for
supporting the study.
The subject of this paper is
magnetotaxis (see Topic 1), another phenomenon related to
magnetoreception. Magnetotaxis is the response from bacteria to a magnetic field that involves
orientation and coordinating movement.5
This study is looking at how reversing
the direction of the Earth s magnetic field might affect the development of a
plant. It is very similar to the concept of magnetoreception as explained in Topic 1 and is not relevant to
differences in north and south pole magnetic energy .6
This study published in
International Agrophysics, pre-treated chilli seeds with a 62
μT (micro Tesla) field for both north pole and south pole magnetic fields
and took measurements of the stem length at 4, 8, 12 & 24hours. The
progress can be seen in the picture below (click for larger image).
Image a) N pole and b) south pole at 4 hrs. Image c) N pole and d) south
pole at 8 hrs. Image e) N pole and f) south pole at 12 hrs. Image g) N pole and
h) south pole at 24 hrs. Image i) control sample at 24hrs.
In conclusion, the present study shows
that primary roots of radish seedlings curved away from stronger magnetic
fields when placed under conditions of omnilateral gravity stimulation. The
root curvature was found significantly enhanced when roots were exposed in a
gradient magnetic field in the vicinity of the south pole of the magnet.
There may be something to this, but you
can find a number of studies looking at the effects of pretreating seeds with
both static and pulsed magnetic fields and many of them show a benefit. But we
could not find another that looked at differences between north pole and south
pole magnetism. They were mainly focused on the strength of the magnetic field
and for pulsed fields the frequency and also timing and duration of exposure.
The WHO comprehensive report
into Static Fields referenced a study by Yano on radish
seedlings and attributed the affect to tropism.7 It s worth noting that much of the research into how magnetic
fields effect plant growth focuses on magnetic field gradients (inhomogeneous
fields) for enhanced effects, rather than simply the north or south pole.
This paper was presented at the 94th Annual
Convention and Scientific Assembly of the National Medical Association and gives
the impression of a credible paper claiming differences between north and south
pole magnetism. You will often see this paper quoted in books and articles on
magnetic therapy to support the supposed differences in a magnets north and
south pole.8
The gist is according to Davis and Rawls the North Pole (negative
polarity) slowed, controlled and arrested further development of an active
cancer site and the South Pole (positive polarity) caused the cancers to become
more advanced and then develop, grow, and spread at an accelerated rate
It goes on to state that an experiment
was performed where human lung carcinoma cells were exposed to a 3.5 kilogauss
magnet. The results indicated that a significant decrease in
the growth of these cells occurred between 6 and 144 hours when placed in close
proximity to the north field . It s
astounding that in a published scientific journal, the only evidence the
authors provide to verify this claim is written Personal communication, Philip
M. Lorio, February, 1988 . That s it! It may have been observed,
it may not, there s no methodology for the experiment, no results and no
discussion. There s no way to verify the claims and as far as we can tell there
s no evidence of the it being tested in the 30 years since.
Acting on the consequences of such
claims, the authors went on to record the polarity and strength of the magnetic
fields at various MRI installations. Warning that where the operators are
exposed to the positive south pole energy they might be exposed to hazardous
risk. You would have to keep an open mind to such a serious claim, but it s
never been tested since.
The safety concerns around strong
magnetic fields from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is mainly focused on the
risks associated with patient handling and taking necessary precautions. For
example, strict screening for foreign bodies such as shrapnel, implants,
pacemakers and the like. The actual risks from the magnetic fields themselves
outside of pregnancy, are hardly even a consideration. In all the decades of
research and training for radiographers, the professionals who operate MRIs,
north and south pole magnetism does not even rate a mention. It is completely
irrelevant.
The basis of this paper was used to
grant patent # 5,197,492. See Topic 3.
A very comprehensive paper on the
biological effects of SMF s and their medical applications, but unfortunately
does not even mention or distinguish the magnetic field from the north or south
pole.9
As for the Shalatonin paper itself?
There may be something in it, it would be nice to see it replicated. But the
experiment was not randomised, that is, the researchers knew which setup was
the control and which were the north and south pole exposed. This may not
matter for distilled water, but as a standard scientific practice, should have
been followed.
Like nearly all studies on magnetic
fields, the significant results come from magnetic field gradients and varying
field strength, not comparing the north and south pole.
Note the following paper that
demonstrates some claims of an effect from magnetic fields may be secondary to
the magnetic field itself.10
In conclusion, the vaporization or drying process in
the air can be significantly enhanced under a magnetic field gradient in the
tesla range. As a consequence, when living organisms are placed under a
magnetic field with gradient, they may feel colder due to the latent heat of
vaporization, and they may experience aqueous environments with different
concentration of ingredients from the intended values. These changes in
environmental conditions should necessarily cause some change in the
experimental results when living organisms are subjected to the magnetic field
for examination. Therefore a special consideration must be taken when to judge
whether the magnetic field really has an effect on living organisms.

Davis & Rawls Patents
Of their theories, Davis & Rawls
stated in the Preface of their 1974 book Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living
System that their efforts have been unsuccessful and at this time many researchers
at all levels of scientific research refuse to acknowledge or utilize this new
discovery for guidance in their work.
Davis &Rawls were prolific in their
work and published numerous books and patents. It now being 2019, 45 years
later, we should be able to assess with hindsight whether any of their theories
have stood the test of time. For instance, patents would have been
commercialised and the benefits flow on to consumers, at the very least now
that the patents would have expired and the ideas and methods freely available
we should be able to see them or their derivatives in practice.

Basic Physics
Davis & Rawls claim that physicists
through the ages, including all current university courses make three
fundamental errors (see pages 7-9 in Magnetism and its Effects on the Living
System). The error that:
1. Error 1: Magnetic
energy leaves one pole and travels to the opposite pole. They
believed the energy flows both ways.
2. Error 2: Magnetic
energy flows directly from one pole to the other. They believed
the magnetic energy travels from one pole to the centre of the magnet and then
to the opposite pole.
3. Error 3: The
magnetic energies of both polarities are essentially the same.
They believed that the two magnet fields are completely different and produce
different biological effects.
All three so-called errors claimed by
Davis & Rawls are not errors at all and reveal a good imagination and their
lack of understanding of the physics of magnetism.
Even the terms used, such as magnetic
energy shows a complete misunderstanding of the physics of electromagnetism.
Like gravity, magnetism is one of the four fundamental forces. You don t hear
the term gravitational energy, except in the context of potential energy. The
same with magnetic fields, fields are simply a property of space and if a
material that s attracted to a magnet comes into close proximity to this field,
it will be drawn closer and reduce the magnetic potential energy.
You will often see magnetic field lines
drawn around a bar magnet (see image below). But in reality, magnetic field
lines don t exist at all. They stem from the way iron filings form patterns
around a magnet, but the magnetic field itself is not confined to distinct
field lines . As each iron filing comes into close proximity to the magnet, it
becomes in and of itself a single little magnetic dipole. A dipole having two
poles, north and south at each end. This iron filing dipole feels the force of
the large magnet, and aligns in the direction of the magnetic field. In addition, each little iron filing magnetic
dipole feels a small force from other nearby iron filing dipoles, and they move
to minimize their local energy. This causes them to line up in a row and appear
like field lines .
The fact that there is a north and south
pole is only a convention brought about because the north seeking pole in a
compass orientates to face the North Pole. They might just have been called
ying and yang or blue and red. The arrows drawn on the field lines pointing
from north to south are also just a convention.
Iron filings and compasses around a bar magnet.
On the picture below, the two images on
the left show how magnetic field lines are explained in physics text books. The
two images on the right are Davis & Rawls new theory of magnetic field
lines.
From Pg. 22 of Magnetism and its Effects on the Living System.
In addition, Davis & Rawls try to
use the concept of the Bloch wall to support their erroneous theory of the two
completely different magnetic fields, or as they describe as energy .
The Bloch wall as explained on Pg. 23 in Magnetism and its Effects on
the Living System.
The Bloch wall can be easily explained
by the image below. The first thing to understand is that a magnetic field is
three dimensional, not two as shown. Also, as a vector quantity, magnetic
fields have both magnitude (or strength) and direction. Whether the magnet is a
solid static magnet or one produced by a solenoid, the field lines tell the
tale. Near the middle of the magnet, the relative strength of the magnetic
field is much stronger inside the magnet and very weak on the outside. See the
following link for more details

As a further explanation, watch just a
few minutes of this lecture by famous MIT physics lecturer Walter Lewin.

Another Book
The power of suggestion:
Buryl Payne PhD is a credible author and
his book supports some of the theories of Davis & Rawls. But when you go
digging for the scientific research, again it comes up blank.
According to chapter 4 of his book Magnetic Healing: Advanced Techniques for the Application of
Magnetic Forces.
Basic Facts
·
The bio-south pole (red) stimulates and
promotes healing, growth, and activity
·
The bio-north pole (white, blue or
green) calms, sedates, reduces inflammation, and also promotes healing
But while the author makes these claims
as basic facts , at the same time he hedges his bets and effectively says,
there s no evidence for what I ve said above and just do what works for you. He
also writes that it was thought that people with arthritis visiting the South
Pole for several months and experiencing improvements in arthritis was a result
of the change in magnetic field.
Prior to around 1980, no other magnets
were used besides the common bipolar magnet. That is, more complex magnets such
as multipolar that applied both poles towards the body were yet to be
considered. Since there were no other variables to work with, people like Davis
& Rawls worked with the only variables they had; bionorth, biosouth and
field strength.
The author seems to get this, but then
can t leave the old bionorth and biosouth theories behind!
Buryl Payne states that when it was
commonly believed that there were magnetic poles and each pole had a
characteristic energy , it was mistakenly assumed that one pole did one thing
and the other pole another. Therefore it was believed that it was necessary to
shield one pole from possibly affecting the body in this testing in order to
obtain a pure polar effect. But since there are no magnetic poles, just
magnetic directions, it is only necessary to reverse the magnetic direction to
do a muscle test.
The first part of this makes complete
sense, each pole does not have its own characteristic energy. But, there is yet
another misconception in Payne s description. He gets the mistaken belief of
labelling the north and south poles as having different energies.
Where s the evidence?
Chapter 9 of Buryl Payne s book is Research & Case Studies and this is what we were finally looking for to learn more about the
research in the different biological effects of north and south pole energies .
The major evidence he mentions to validate the different effects of bio-north
and bio-south polarities is to separate a bunch of grapes and treat one with
bio-north and the other with bio-south field and after just fifteen minutes,
the bio-south treated grapes are so sweet you will just want to gobble them all
up. A simple experiment you can try for yourself, give it a go and let us know
what you find.
There was one line of research
mentioned, a 1976 study by a Japanese Dr Kyoichi Nakagawa, but there s nothing
published to verify any such study or follow up. Irrespective, Nakagawa s work
was famous for his theory of magnetic field deficiency syndrome. That through a combination of the Earth s slowly diminishing magnetic
field and being surrounded with magnetic shielding materials (steel, concrete
etc.), we are becoming deficient . Symptoms claimed by Nakagawa include
stiffness, dizziness, headaches and poorer immune system.
Mesmer was the father of
the term Animal Magnetism and in the late 1700 s practiced
medicine using these intriguing materials that no one properly understood. He
used magnets to place patients under some type of trance and was receiving
glowing testimonials from socially prominent individuals. But after a while, he
realised he could induce the same trance type state without using magnets. What
he had in fact stumbled upon was a type of hypnotism, 60 years prior to the
Scottish physician James Baird who coined the term.
The best explanation we can provide as
to how people believe in the differences in the north and south pole applied to
the body can be explained with The Powerband. That is, it s purely suggestion.
Read the incredible story of the claims of The Powerband at the link below and
how a randomised controlled clinical trial was the final nail in the coffin.
Eventually the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission stepped in and
forced the company selling Powerband to refund their customers, see statement

Clinical Trials
The following advice comes from William
Philpot MD s book, an often quoted source of information on
medical magnets.
It seems, however, that only the effect of north magnetic
pole is beneficial and long lasting, and when both magnetic poles being
administered to a patient simultaneously unpleasant effects appear.
The research and clinical experience of
many hundreds of medical practitioners informs us that the statement above is
highly debatable. What does the research say? There have been three published
peer reviewed clinical trials comparing the effects of either magnetic pole on
the human body.
STUDY 1
Hinman s study11 was actually a response to a claim by William Philpott. Philpott claims the heart is the most responsive
tissue to the stress or anti-stress fields created by magnets. He states that a
significant (10 point) decrease in Heart Rate will occur within a few minutes
of exposure to a negative static magnetic field, and that a positive static
magnetic field will have the opposite effect.
So Hinman devised a study whereby he
randomly assigned 75 healthy subjects to the following groups.
·
25 people to a negative magnetic field
·
26 people to a positive magnetic field
·
24 people to a sham magnetic field
Subjects laid on a 50 X 60cm magnetic
underlay with 42 placebos or strong magnets each measuring 400-500 gauss
(40-50mT or around 1,000 times stronger than the earth s magnetic field). Heart
Rate and Blood Pressure measurements were taken after 1, 5, 10 and 15 minutes
and at 5 minutes after removal. The results of the study demonstrated no
difference between the three groups in heart rate or blood pressure. This study
looked at magnetic fields covering relatively large areas of the body. What
about very specific points on the body, could the north or south magnetic poles
induce different physiological effects?
STUDY 2
A study by Mayrovitz12 investigated the localised effect of different magnetic poles and
a sham field over the second finger. Mayrovitz exposed 12 healthy volunteers to
either a sham field or a rare earth molybdenum magnet over the palmer part of
the finger for 15 minutes. Mayrovitz noted that despite the fact that physics tells us that the field
strength at the magnet s north and south poles are equal, it has been argued
that the biological effects strongly depend on which pole is applied to the
target tissue .
Accurate measurements on skin
microcirculation were made and showed a significant reduction in blood
circulation for both sides of the magnet when compared to the sham field.
Interestingly there was no significant difference between the north and south pole
groups.
STUDY 3
Another application of static magnetic
field therapy is Transcranial Static
Magnetic Field Stimulation (tSMS). A study by Oliviero13 investigated the effects of placing a strong, weak and sham
neodymium magnet against the skull, over the motor cortex to evaluate cortical
excitability changes. They found a greater effect with the stronger magnet, but
no difference between the north and south pole.
Graph showing
effects of stronger v s weaker magnets for both north and south pole. Greater
effect for stronger magnet, but no difference between the poles (see bottom two
lines).
The three studies quoted and our own
experiments investigated the biological effects of static magnetic fields on
human tissue. They found no differences to objective indicators such as blood
pressure, heart rate or an inflammatory response to either positive or negative
magnetic field exposure.
However, there are intuitive healers
practiced in the art of biomagnetic pairing or channeling energy flow
(or chi) through meridians, which may see different effects from the north or
south poles, but is not within the scope of this article.
Why Quadrapolar?
Magnetic field lines are invisible and
the naked eye is unable to detect the north or south pole or combination for a
magnet. However, the direction of magnetic field lines and field gradients can
be observed by sprinkling iron filings over a magnet.
Extensive research by a group of
neurologists at Vanderbilt Medical University showed that static magnetic
fields could be optimised for physiologic and therapeutic effects. The
modelling has shown that the MER (maximally effective region) of the magnet coincided
with regions in which the gradient (dB/dx) is
predominantly perpendicular to the local field vector.14 See article for Q Magnet device selection for more information.
This can be observed in the picture
above with the quadrapolar magnet showing iron filings running horizontal to
the surface of the magnet where the polarity alternates. See how Q Magnets work for more information.
7. Summary
The short summary is
After reviewing the evidence in its entirety, it s reasonable
to assert that any differences between the north and south pole can be
attributed to magnetoreception, magnetotaxis and/or magnetotropism. There is practically no
evidence that these differences might benefit or harm the human body.
