BIO-MAGNETISM

How Bio-magnetism Works ?

Biomagnetism works in the human body through the circulatory system, the nervous system, and the endocrine system. Magnetism is continuously penetrating every known particle, right down to the atom. Its ordering effect on living systems arises from the fact that magnetism is a blueprint of life itself. All known energies have as a base this electromagnetic field. The latest research indicates that magnetism has a very significant biological effect on human beings. Dr. H.L. Bansel points out that magnetism increases the electrical conductivity of the blood. Weak current runs through blood and the quantities of ions are increased. The newly ionized blood circulating throughout the body can significantly contribute to the efficiency of the blood flow as well as having a stabilizing effect on both high and low blood pressure. Blood contains ferrous hemoglobin (iron) that functions as a carrier of oxygen and carbon dioxide. As the blood circulates in the lungs, fully magnetized ferrous hemoglobin is able to transport more oxygen to cell tissue as well as taking more carbon dioxide waste from the cell back to the lungs for removal. Biomagnetism works to regulate and normalize hormone secretion in the glands. It is currently believed that the increased electrical current being produced forms like a net around the glands and secretory ducts. An extra concentration of oxygen stimulates production while the electrical net regulates optimum secretion. As a result, conditions caused by a lack of hormone secretion or a hormone imbalance are affected through normalizing the hormone functions within the body. Hormones play a very important role in rejuvenation and in general energy levels while proper circulation ensures that the hormone level is evenly distributed to all parts of the body. When magnetic "flux" (the north/south flow of a magnet) passes through tissue, a secondary current is created around the flux lines in the tissue cells. This ionizes the protoplasm and rejuvenates the tissues by activating cell metabolism. The function of the cell becomes strengthened as the cell metabolism responds to the bio-electrical currents initiated by the magnetic flux. This current induces muscle spasms to decrease and the activated cell metabolism lowers inflammation in the tissue. The increase of cellular metabolism aids in the regeneration as well as in new cell growth. The negative pole energies of magnetism interfere with the nerve cell's ability to send pain impulses to the brain for the pain to be registered. Blood cells have potassium in their center, which has a positive bio-electric charge. The nerve cell differs in an opposite way. During a pain response, the outside switches to potassium with a positive bio-electric charge. Through attraction, the negative pole charge of a magnet creates a "Blend" of the potassium's positive bio-electric charge as the natural flow of current is towards the negative pole. As the use of bio-magnetics in clinics around the world continues to increase, healers are seeing firsthand how natural magnetism promotes health and provides energy by eliminating disorder in the various biological systems. Stimulating blood circulation and building new cells to rejuvenate the tissues of the body does this. The bio-magnetic effect on iron and oxygen in the body allows the hemoglobin active movement, thereby activating circulation in a remarkable way. Ineffective and weakened blood cells are appropriately strengthened and more fresh, vital blood is pumped in the system. With the respiratory exchange improved, and cellular metabolism activated to increase vitality, prevention and cure of disease become a natural conclusion

MAGNET THERAPY

As we enter the 21^st century, the most promising pain relief therapy is biomagnet therapy. Compared to these other pain relief therapies, biomagnet therapy has at least 6 advantages causing its explosive, worldwide growth today

1Biomagnets relieve the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms on.2. Biomagnets are safe. They have no known side effects since our bodies already live in the earth’s natural, magnetic field.3. Biomagnets are simple. Anyone can use them in the privacy of your own home.4. Biomagnets are non-consumable. You don’t have to buy another bottle or schedule another appointment every month!5. Biomagnets work quickly, often in only a few minutes, sometimes in weeks.6. Biomagnets are affordable. Especially since you can use them, again and again, for years.And this is only the beginning. The history of magnet therapy is a fascinating account of a famous queen, philosophers, doctors, and scientists. For thousands of years magnet therapy has been advancing toward its latest discovery of the newest and most powerful biomagnet

.

The History and Growth of Magnet Therapy

For thousands of years Chinese, Egyptians, Chaldeans, Arabs, Greeks, Romans and Indians have used magnets to heal. According to legend, about 2500 years ago, a shepherd named Magnes found mineral stones sticking to the metal nails in his sandals. That mineral received the name magnetite.

In 2000 B.C., magnetic stones are mentioned in the oldest medical textbook ever discovered, the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine.

In the 4th century B.C., the philosopher Aristotle was fascinated by magnets. And near the turn of the millennium Cleopatra, the beautiful Egyptian queen, is reported to have worn a magnet on her forehead.

In the 4th century, Martel, a French doctor, used magnets to heal hand and feet's pain.

In the 6th century, Alexandre de Tralles cured joint's pain with magnets. Hall Abbas, arab doctor, used it to treat spasms and feet's pain.

In the 16th century, Paracelsus the European doc00000000000000ets for inflammation. He was a brilliant thinker and a pioneer for many future magnet healers.

In the 17th century, the court physician to Elizabeth I, William Gilbert, published De Magnete. It was the first comprehensive book on magnetism. He used “lodestones” (magnets) to heal bleeding and for its astringent's properties.

Maxwell, King Charles II's doctor wrote a book about magnet's healing powers.

In the 18th century, the French Royal Society of Medicine concluded that magnets are antispasmodic, relieve strong pains and "cannot be ignored nor contested".

The German doctor Mesmer was a famous, but controversial magnet healer. It’s questionable whether he did more to advance or hinder magnet therapy. He was a flamboyant showman and public relations self-promoter. Patients flocked to him and this gave magnet therapy much publicity, for better or for worse.

In the 19th century, Doctor Magiorani and Charcot used it sucessfully too.

In 1925, a french doctor, Durville, wrote a book about magnetotherapy, giving instructions to cure dozen of ailments with magnets.

In 1976, in Boston (U.S.A.), the first International Conference on Biomagnetism was held. In 1991, in Munster, Germany, the eighth International Conference on Biomagnetism featured 240 presentations and attracted 400 participants. Magnetic therapy has arrived.

In 1983, one of the greatest discoveries ever in magnetics was announced. Rare earth neodymium biomagnets were invented which are 700% as powerful as the older ceramic magnets. The neodymium biomagnets hold their charge indefinitely, with no significant loss of power after 10 years. At first, their cost was prohibitive, but now they are very economical.

“Today magnet therapy is seeing resurgence in use and is an officially approved therapy in over 45 countries worldwide.” (Magnet Therapy: Alternative Medicine the Definitive Guide, William H. Philpot, M.D., Dwight K. Kalita Ph.D, p. 23.)

In the history of medical science for pain relief, there has been no greater discovery than biomagnet therapy. And it’s growing at a phenomenal pace. The legends of Aristotle and Cleopatra have now been tested by 21st century scientific studies which results will amaze you.

What Causes Your Body to Feel Pain?

There are two types of pain: Acute pain and chronic pain. Acute pain is the result of any immediate trauma such as stubbing your toe. Chronic pain is pain that has lasted for 6 months or longer, such as lower back pain. The best way to keep acute pain from becoming chronic pain is immediate treatment.

But, what exactly in your body causes pain? After all, if we can identify the cause of your pain, then we can also identify how to remove the cause (the cure.) So, what makes you feel pain?

Let’s use some examples of physical tissue injuries to help understand how pain occurs. When you stub your toe, stress your joints, or slip and fall, chemical reactions occur in your body.

Those chemical reactions include lowering your acid-alkaline pH balance. Your body’s normal pH level is 6.0-6.8. Below 6.0 is too acidic and above 6.8 is too alkaline.

A tissue injury causes your pH level to become lower locally at the site of the wound. Then, lower acid PH results in swollen cells (edema.) Swollen cells may constrict your capillaries’ circulation resulting in:

1. Lower oxygen to the cells.

2. Slower drainage of lactic acid (metabolic toxin) from the cells.

3. Hindered repair of damaged cells.

Then, your nervous system sends a message to your brain: Ouch! That’s what causes pain. Now, how can you remove the root cause?

The secret mechanism that will relieve your pain away

Circulation is the secret. Magnets have been observed to increase blood flow to small capillaries. The capillary walls are thought to be relaxed and dilated by magnetism. Once the extra blood flow begins, then a whole chain of metabolic reactions occur:

1. pH is restored from acid to neutral, which releases oxygen from its bound form to its molecular free form.

2. Oxygen is transported for tissue regeneration to the cells.

3. Free radicals are reduced by energizing enzymes.

4. Energy is produced from ATP in the cells.

5. Metabolic toxins, such as lactic acid, are drained.

6. Cellular swelling (edema) is decreased.

“Magnetic fields appear to greatly increase blood flow in the tiny capillaries. For example, via testing…a way of measuring blood flow through the fingers, Dr. Lawrence found a rate of 300% increase in five minutes – a dramatic change. (Magnet Therapy: The Pain Cure Alternative, Ron Lawrence, M.D., Ph.D., Paul J. Rosch, M.D., p. 91

The human body is about 70% water. Magnetism lowers water’s surface tension so that it becomes thinner and more absorbable. Theoretically, watery blood circulates better after becoming thinner and more absorbable after being magnetized.

When blood flow is increased to your cells, then your body’s natural, metabolic healing functions occur much more rapidly. Circulation brings life and healing. Biomagnets don’t cure pain from the outside. They stimulate your body’s own healing processes.

“When red blood cells are examined under a microscope they are often clumped together in the blood of people with ailments. With a magnetic treatment, the red blood cells disperse, allowing more oxygen transfer from the lungs.” Getting Started in Magnetic Healing, Buryl Payne, Ph.D., p. 55

Ancient Wisdom Proven by 20th Century Science

Magnets’ effectiveness at relieving pain has been proven by both scientific and clinical studies.

One of the worst forms of pain suffered is by polio patients. They’re often attacked by severe muscle pains, stiff neck, and lower back pain. Polio pain is a perfect test for the effectiveness of biomagnet therapy.

Doctors at Baylor University in Texas conducted a double-blind study with pain patients receiving either a real magnet or a placebo magnet. Here are the results.[1]

Pretreatment vs. Post-treatment Pain Scores

With Real Magnet vs. Placebo Device

	Real Magnet	Placebo Device
No. of Patients	29	21
Pretreatment Pain Score	9.6	9.5
Posttreatment Pain Score	4.4	8.4
Change in Pain Score	5.2	1.1

% of Subjects Reporting Pain Improvement

With Real Magnet vs. Placebo Device

	Real Magnet	Placebo Device
No. of Patients	29	21
Pain Improved	22 patients (76%)	4 patients (19%)
Pain Unimproved	7 patients (24%)	17 patients (81%)

Results:

Patients who received the active device experienced an average pain score decrease of 4.4 on a 10-point scale. Those with the placebo devices experienced a decrease of 1.1 points. The proportion of patients in the active-device group who reported a pain score decrease greater than the average placebo effect was 76%, compared with 19% in the placebo-device group.

Conclusion:

The application of a device delivering static magnetic fields of 300 to 500 gauss over a pain trigger point results in significant and prompt relief of pain in postpolio subjects.”

Diabetes and Foot Pain Study:

Perhaps you know of diabetics who suffer pain due to lack of circulation in their legs. Now, there’s a proven solution:

“In a report published in the January issue of the American Journal of Pain Management, researchers noted that magnets sewn into socks alleviated the chronic pain of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve deterioration and chronic pain in the feet due to diabetes.)” James Balch, M.D., Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 3rd Ed., p. 724.

Back and Shoulder Pain Study

Lower back pain may be the most common chronic pain complaint. Many back pain sufferers gave up long ago of ever living pain-free again.

A double blind scientific study selected 100 volunteers who suffered from back or shoulder pain. 50 participants were given real magnets and 50 participants were given placebo magnets. The results showed that subjective pain sensation improved for 70% of those using real magnets vs. 26% of those using placebo magnets. Restriction in movement improved for 50% vs. 16%. Use of pain killers improved for 46% vs. 10%.

	Real Magnet	Placebo Device
Less Subjective Pain Sensation<	70%	26%
Less Restriction of Movement	50%	16%
Less Use of Pain Killers	46%	10%

Conclusion:

With reference to the tested trial criteria the therapeutic effectiveness of the magnetized foils is unmistakably higher than the placebo effect of the non-magnetized foils applied to the control group.”[2]

Barry University, School of Podiatric Medicine Heel Pain Study

Heel pain can feel like a constant pressure when walking.

“Objective:

To determine the effectiveness of permanently magnetized pads for the treatment of heel pain syndrome. A double-blind study was performed on patients who have had symptoms in the above areas for at least two weeks.--- Permanently magnetized and demagnetized pads will be applied to the symptomatic feet without the patient of the clinician able to differentiate due to identical appearing pads. Only an impartial referee is aware of the true identity of each pad.

Discussion of Results:

The indication groups for all trial criteria showed a significantly higher therapeutic effectiveness with the magnetized pads than the control groups (demagnetized pads).

The best results were achieved with reduction in subjective pain in the heel spur syndrome category. 57.2% of all test persons in this category treated with magnetized pads expressed significant relief of symptoms.

The patients who showed increase in ability to walk without pain after treatment represented a 77.1% improvement rate with the magnetized pads versus a 16.6% improvement reported by those with the demagnetized pads. This percentage represented a placebo effect.”[3]

Strains, Sprains, Spasms, Varicose Veins, Etc.

There are so many different types of pain. But, they all have the same root causes of acidity, swelling, and lack of circulation. A German scientist tested magnets on many different types of pain and came to this conclusion:

“Conclusion:

...magnetic pads proved to be successful as pain relieving means for superficial aches, strains, sprains, spasms, varicose vein and phantom limb syndrome.”[4]

Foot, Leg, and Jaw Pain Study

If you’ve ever spent several hours on your feet, then you probably know what it’s like to experience foot pain.

“At Columbia-Presbyterian’s Pulmonary Hypertension Center…several of our patients…tried magnets to treat their jaw and foot pain. These patients report significant decreases in foot and leg pain associated with magnet use, and note that they can walk further when they wear the magnets. Jaw pain is also alleviated with magnet use, according to our patients.” Clinician Reviews, Positive Feedback for Magnet Therapy, August 1999.

There have been hundreds of studies on magnet therapy. This encyclopedia summarizes the results:

“Since the late 1950’s, hundreds of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of magnetic therapy.” Magnetic Therapy, Kim Sharp, Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine, Kristine Krapp and Jacqueline L. Longe, Ed’s., Gale Group, Detroit, pp. 1114, 2001.

Now that you know biomagnets have been proven to relieve pain, how can you get magnetic energy into your body?

THE EFFECTS OF BIO-MAGNETISM ON LIVING SYSTEMS

by DR. R. T. Jacobs

WHAT IS A MAGNET ?

In any substance that is susceptible to becoming magnetized (ferromagnetic or paramagnetic material), the arrangement of the electrons is haphazard. When this material is placed in a strong electrical current, the electric current rearranges the atoms in the material so that they are in alignment - with their electrons orbiting in the same direction. The magnets field strength depends on the number of atoms that can be polarized. This lining up of the electrons during the magnetization process musters and deploys energy which was previously potential.

The magnetic lines of force flow: at one end of the magnet is a SOUTH pole with a vortex of electrons rotating in a clockwise (dextrogyric) direction with a positive charge. At the opposite end is a NORTH pole with a vortex of electrons rotating in a counterclockwise (sinistrogyric) direction with a negative charge.

In the middle of the magnet where the magnetic lines of force cross there is a zone where the magnetic field is zero. This is called the Block wall. This is true for every magnet as well as mother earth. This phenomenon was first discovered by Albert Roy Davis and Walter Rawls in their research laboratory in Green Cove, Florida. This work was later confirmed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

MAGNETIC ENERGY DOES NOT CURE ANYTHING - IT BALANCES THE BODY ENERGY, METABOLISM AND POLARITY THUS GIVING THE BIOLOGICAL SYSTEM A CHANCE TO HEAL ITSELF WHEN PROPER NUTRITION IS PROVIDED.

Magnetic energy has reportedly been used successfully in over 150 conditions :

Backache	Asthma	Arthritis	Allergies	Abscesses
Burns	Bronchospasm	Bronchitis	Blood clots	Bacterial infection
Diarrhea	Diabetes	Constipation	Cataracts	Calcification
Gallstones Arteriosclerosis	Fungal infection	Frozen shoulder	Fractures	Eczema
Indigestion	Hypertension	Hernia	Headache & migraine	Glaucoma
Muscle spasms	Menstrual irregularities	Kidney problems	Insomnia	Insect bites
Prostate	Pleurisy	Paralysis	Obesity	Non union fractures
Sinusitis	Seizures	Sciatica	Rheumatism	Psoriasis
Toothache	Tennis elbow	Swellings	Stiffness	Spondylosis
		Weight loss	Tumors	Trauma

Bio-magnetism is using Nature's Energy to help overcome the Magnetic Deficiency Syndrome while living in a supplemental magnetic field. The magnetic field increases blood flow, nutrition and oxygen to the body's cells and tissues.

SYMPTOMS OF MAGNETIC DEFICIENCY SYNDROME

Kyoichi Nakagawa

Lumbago. Stiffness of shoulders, back and scruff of neck. Chest pains for no specific reason. Habitual headache. Heaviness of the head. Dizziness. Insomnia for uncertain reasons. Habitual constipation. General lassitude. Hypertension and disease of the digestive organs. Diabetes. Bone and nerve diseases. Symptoms resist normal treatment regimens. No objective pathological findings found.

He found 850 gauss magnets gave the best response.

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY - IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND FOR HOW LONG

PRECAUTIONS

MAGNETS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH PACEMAKERS OR AUTOMATIC INTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS.

DON'T APPLY MAGNETS IN CASES OF PREGNANCY.

Don't apply strong magnets to the abdomen immediately after eating a large meal - alters acid production and gastrointestinal motility.

Don't use a strong magnet on the head.

Optimum metabolic health is a balance between north and south pole magnetic energies.

.

A new field of energy medicine is emerging. Magnetic energy can be used as a non-nutritional source of energy to evoke specific biological responses. Life is a matter of balance between north and south pole magnetic polarities and not just one or the other of the poles. The metabolic responses of biological systems to specific magnetic energy polarity and Gauss strength are consistently dependable. The body is an electrical as well as a chemical unit. Magnetic fields produce small electrical currents under the skin - sufficiently powerful enough to cause biological effects such as pain reduction, regeneration of cells and nerves, etc. Magnets usually work better than they are predicted to - they are the safest and finest therapy you can buy - nothing is better in many cases. If you sense any discomfort while wearing any magnetic device - take it off and the discomfort will go away very quickly. You don't have to worry about creating another conditions from an overdose. BEFORE USING MAGNETIC ENERGY YOU SHOULD FIND OUT WHY AND WHERE THE PAIN IS COMING FROM BY CONSULTING YOUR HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. The beauty of the universe and the biological systems within it is its marvelous simplicity, unity of design and orderliness. Negative magnetic energy can cause increased melatonin production by stimulating the pineal gland at night. Melatonin has been established as having the values of a master control over hormones, sleep, immune function, anti oxidants, infections, respiration, mineral metabolism and all other metabolic energy systems. While our body is recovering its biological energy loss, as we sleep, melatonin and growth hormone are active participants in this recovery process.

SLEEP

Making and maintenance of biological energy is a recovery process that occurs during sleep.

Melatonin and growth hormone

a) Melatonin - is master hormone controlling all energy expressions of the body

b) Growth hormone - is necessary for the body to make protein from amino acids. Positive magnetic energy exposures during the day stops the production of melatonin and growth hormone a) sunshine and skyshine

At night we are in a higher negative than positive magnetic field. Documented that an anti - stress negative magnetic field raises melatonin levels.

Documented that an anti-stress negative magnetic field raises melatonin levels.

Magnetotherapy, It Can Help You

by Ken Wiancko, MD

Conventional medicine has long opposed "alternative" treatment techniques. With many of these, although they provide benefits to those using them, their mode of action was unexplained scientifically. Magneto therapy (treatment of illness with magnetic current) has been extensively researched and the physiology of its benefits documented.

Life developed under the influence of the earth's geomagnetic field. Although this field is relatively small, it plays a major role in many bodily functions. All tissues of the body and nervous system carry electromagnetic charges. These in turn react to magnetic fields. Cell regulation is governed by electromagnetic currents of the body. The body itself creates a magnetic field (termed bio-magnetism) which can be measured by sensitive magnetometers. In disease states these body electromagnetic potentials are altered and again are measurable. The effects of magnetics on the body is called magneto-biology, the subject of this article.

Magnets have been used for healing for thousands of years. The term magnet comes from Magnesia, a province in Asia Minor, where ancient Greeks discovered the rock, Magnetite, that attracted ferrous material. These people, and early Chinese, recorded its use in their medical literature. Medical use of magnets has been reported throughout the ages, as, in recent years, been the subject of world wide interest.

Dr. Nakagawa (Japanese Medical Journal #2745) in his paper, "Magnetic Field Deficiency Syndrome and Magnetic Treatment" outlines the problems of the lack of magnetism on the human. He believes the body is under the influence of the earth's magnetic field and is kept in balance in relationship to it.

Under modem living conditions this field is decreased by shielding of steel frame buildings, automobiles, etc. Also, the earth's magnetic field has deteriorated 50% in the last 1000 years adding to the deficiency of magnetic force on the body.

Lack of magnetism can cause abnormalities as stress, headaches, arthritis, muscle pain, the chronic fatigue syndrome, and even allergies. Space research by US and Russia has shown that the loss of calcium form the bone (osteoporosis) in astronauts is due to the lack of magnetic field action on the body in space.

Magneto-therapy has many other forms. Application of electromagnetic current to non-unioned fractures often results in healing that has resisted all standard treatment. European studies have shown benefits of permanent magnetic and low frequency pulsed magnetic therapy for asthma, hypertension, heart attacks, varicose ulcers, arthritis, and rheumatism. Newly developed units help control stress and prevent jet lag ("Stressmaster"), control insomnia and anxiety ("Neuron One"), and offer non-pharmaceutical pain relief ("Psychotron Delphi").

Life and the body have been looked upon as a mechanical model functioning with a chemical internal environment. Treatment has been undertaken with this same mechanical-chemical theory. It is now starting to be appreciated that health and disease, in many cases, depend on our body's electromagnetic balance/

Dr. Wiancko is a practicing surgeon with an increasing interest in bio-magnetics and magneto-therapy.

Magnetic Pain Relief

We have all heard about magnetic bracelets and other devices that are said to increase circulation and relieve pain, but does magnetic therapy really work? According to Paul J. Rosch, M.D., F.A.C.P., president of the American Institute of Stress, clinical professor of medicine and psychiatry at New York Medical College and a HealthInform advisory board member, "Magnets are not approved for treatment of pain or any other medical condition, but the fact is that all modern permanent magnets seem to relieve pain… magnets can relieve the diverse pain syndromes, accelerate the healing of post traumatic bone and soft tissue injuries and are not only safe, but extremely cost effective".

What is Magnetism ?

The human body is naturally surrounded by the magnetic fields of the earth, moon, sun, and other galactic fields. Those magnetic fields penetrate the body as if it were merely air, due to the fact that the body is 70% or more water. When properly controlled, energy is able to accumulate in the body tissues. Cells are moved by the magnetic pulsation that passes through them naturally, so the pulsating field of energy created by magnets enables an effective therapy, which can be used for a wide range of symptoms. Ken Wiancko, M.D. states, "This [magnetic field] causes a better blood circulation in the vessels and capillaries, increasing the partial pressure of oxygen in the tissue and resulting in an accelerated transportation of metabolic waste products- a basic requirement for every healing process".

Magnetic Therapy

"Every cell and atom of the body is a small magnetic dynamo," says Dr. William Pawluk, M.D., MSc., Board-certified family doctor, trained in acupuncture, hypnosis, and homeopathy, who is also on the faculty at Hopkins. Because of this, magnets can have an affect on the body in several different ways.

They stimulate the acupuncture points and meridians, enabling them to be used for pain relief, fibromyalgia, and muscle strains.

Due to the fact that they contain iron, they affect red blood cells.

They are able to increase blood flow.

They can affect some of the chemical processes within and between cells.

They are able to affect nerve signals, even to the point of causing anesthesia if the magnet is strong enough.

They can be used to study and map nerve structures deep within the brain that are normally only accessible during brain surgery.

SQUIDS, or the body's magnetic fields, show evidence of enhanced magnetic signals for extended periods of time after the magnets have been removed. These effects can be produced by permanent magnets, such as flat magnetic pads, and electromagnets, such as MRI machines and nerve conduction testing devices. According to research that has been conducted, magnetic therapy can be used to treat Parkinson's disease, migraines, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, insomnia, anxiety, and osteoarthritic pain, along with a wide variety of minor pain symptoms. According to Dr. Rosch, "Further research is obviously needed, but there can be little doubt that magnetotherapy will replace many drugs in the millennium, where it will become an increasingly important component of mainstream medicine." Dr. Pawluk is in agreement; "We are clearly seeing a new day in medical sciences and health care with the expanded awareness and use of complementary techniques of care".

"Ihor, your introduction of Nikken products and my subsequent use of them with unbelievable results is astonishing when I prided myself as being a very capable health practitioner for 45 years. The results gained by my wife, my friends and patients is presently beyond my logical explanation, but the fact remains, the products work. When I thing of all the things that Nikken can do and has done for others, I’m only too happy to share the mission and the product knowledge I have. Now, with your support, I find people are calling me from some very far away places to thanks me for having shared this exceptional company and opportunity. It’s such an easy thing to be able to share what this company is all about. It’s been terrifically rewarding for me."

Dr. C. Harry Roder, D.C. Renowned International Lecturer, Texas

"I first heard about the application of these products a the 1994 meeting of the American Academy of Sports Physicians. I did not become interested in their use until it was introduced to me successfully by one of my patients. I was impressed with the clinical results and felt that further investigations were warranted. It was clear that patients readily accepted these non-medical devices and in many cases requested purchasing them. Some went to the point of becoming distributors. The use of these devices in our practice has been rewarding and exciting.”

Dr. Mitchell Goldflies, M.D., S.C., (Sports Medicine) Illinois, USA

"I certainly am impressed with the Nikken products. We have had some excellent results. I will certainly tell many of my other colleagues about your products. I hope we can work together to a greater degree when I return form the Olympic Games acting as a physician for the track and field team."

Dr. John Russell, Florida, The Athletics Congress of the USA

"As the saying goes, seeing is believing…something undeniable is occurring. Nikken products are for real! This is BIG! This is leading edge. Be proud that you had the foresight and good sense to become a Nikken distributor."
