The
Power That Made The Body, Heals The Body, It Happens No Other Way. Doctor B. J. Palmer Developer of the Science of Chiropractic and a Magnetic Therapy Practitioner |
Magnets
have been used for healing since antiquity. Their benefits have
been recorded in ancient Egyptian, Greek, Chinese and other writings.
Until recently, although the health improving potential of magnet
therapy was well documented, scientific explanation of magnetic
action was not available. Dedicated researchers and the introduction
of the space age have contributed greatly to the understanding
of the physiology of magnetism in health and healing. Many health problems, once diagnosed by the medical profession, can be treated effectively and safely using magnets without resorting to potentially dangerous drugs. The use of magnets is simple and the benefits can be immense. Ken Wiancko, M.D. |
The book, The Invisible
Force, explains Magnetic therapy thoroughly and touches on Energy
Medicine, Vibrational Medicine, Therapeutic Touch, Colour Therapy
and Acupuncture. |
My initial interest in magnets developed from a chance discussion with
a friend. He later found, and gave me a book called The Anatomy of Biomagnetism,
written by Albert Roy Davis Ph.D. Shortly after reading the book I visited
Dr. Davis' research center in Florida and met with his associate Walter
Rawls. Their pioneering work with magnets was fascinating and prompted
them to co-author four books on the subject. I later became acquainted
with Dr. Richard Broeringmeyer, an author, lecturer and authority on magnetic
therapy. His newsletters, books and manuals were of special interest as
he had worked closely with Davis and Rawls.
The study of magnets and their various applications has remained a main focus of interest. For 20 years I have researched and studied the available literature on the subject. I have talked and corresponded with many of the pioneers in this field, including Dr. William Philpott of the USA, and others from North America, Europe, India and Australia. I was certified as a magnetic therapist through the Magnetic Therapist's Association of Australia and was later named Canada's Honorary Representative to the International Council of Magnetic Therapists.
The principal books and literature available on this subject are listed in the Bibliography. A study of this literature reveals serious contradictions in that opposite polarities are recommended for treating the same ailment. When one determines how each writer identifies polarity, then examines the recommended treatments, all fundamentally agree with one another. It is reassuring to see the same basic conclusion when the correction is done for polarity identification. This common understanding of polarity effects is a major factor in confirming the validity of magnetic therapy treatment.
The contradictions as mentioned are disturbing and offer a major stumbling block for those wishing to study and fully understand this valuable treatment method. In addition there is considerable misunderstanding and misinformation with regard to the gauss strengths of magnetic materials and products.
Another area of concern is the apprehension of PMF, or Pulsed Magnetic Field therapy. This may be the result of negative publicity regarding electromagnetic pollution.
My main purpose in writing this book is to harmonize the various opinions and establish a consensus with regard to treatment methods and polarity. My secondary purpose is to further the study and understanding of magnetic therapies.
Magnetic therapy and other natural therapies are often condemned by conventional medicine because of the lack of published double blind studies. The use of magnets and magnetic therapies are not considered patentable, which detracts large agencies and companies with research funds. Because of this, clinical trials have rarely been conducted in North America. This area of study is much more advanced in Eastern Bloc countries, where drug therapy is scarce and unaffordable. Europeans have also been more vigorous in the research and acceptance of magnetic therapy.
If the simple application of a magnet can control a typical pain condition, it eliminates the need for normal drug-based pain medication. One can assume this fact has not gone unnoticed by the established pharmaceutical and medical supply industries, which may feel obliged to discourage and discredit alternative methods.
As our population ages magnetic therapy will have an important contribution to make as an alternative treatment for chronic pain. This is evident by the vast acceptance it has already received at the grass roots level. It is an indisputable fact that health care costs are spiraling out of control. The demand for inexpensive methods of health care is obvious.
Magnetic therapy is a non-invasive treatment method with a very high success rate. There have been no problems with side effects and contra-indications are well known. Anecdotal evidence, as well as scientific verification, becomes stronger and more valid as results are recorded regarding the effectiveness of specific treatments. Magnetic therapy has much to offer in both the prevention and treatment of chronic ailments.
This book is written to form a consensus of opinion on magnetic therapy, with consideration given to the products and equipment generally available. It is written to be easily understood by practitioners and their patients.
