"Running water past magnets also reduces the water's surface tension. But, as we learned in chapter 12, magnets are derivative energy devices and as such, they cannot produce true rejuvenating primal energies. They will energize water up to the energy frequency of the magnets used, but that is their limit. Consequently, when we drink water derived from these devices, we are limiting our potential energy intake." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Apparently, mineral magnets could have great therapeutic value through their ability to influence human magnetic fluids in this fashion. But then Mesmer made a further discovery: the mineral magnets were not actually necessary to the effects he could produce! By simply waving his hands over a patient's body, Mesmer was able to produce precisely the same results as he had before using mineral magnets. From this startling observation, Mesmer concluded that he himself had actually been the source of the invisible magnetic energy or force that had been benefiting his patients all along." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"ACUPRESSURE AMD ASTHMA Magnetic Therapy A synthesis of two theories, that of acupressure and the effects of magnetic fields on chi, magnetic therapy involves placing ball bearings or flat magnets on acupressure points to treat ailments. The magnets are held in position by adhesive tape and can be left in place for varying lengths of time, depending on the disorder being treated. They can be safely worn for many days, although it is advisable to move them slightly from time to time. They are most commonly about the size of a small pea." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Hypnosis and Magnets Although a detailed discussion of these therapies is outside the scope of this book, hypnosis and magnets can both be very helpful in the treatment of chronic pain. I have seen hypnosis decrease the intensity of pain, change its location, decrease the suffering associated with pain, and change the sensation so that it feels like warmth or softness instead of pain. When using magnets, the type of magnet used is important because the strength and field configuration can be critical. Nikkan Company magnets seem to be fairly reliable." - Jacob Teitelbaum, Pain Free 1-2-3: A Proven Program for Eliminating Chronic Pain Now (Get the book.)

"Bettmann/Corbis magnets around the bodies of his patients. In response to such treatments, Mesmer's patients reported experiencing strong sensations of energy moving through their bodies. They also experienced all sorts of involuntary movements, including often violent convulsions. These convulsions left many patients feeling much improved, or even cured of their ailments. Apparently, mineral magnets could have great therapeutic value through their ability to influence human magnetic fluids in this fashion." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

Consequently, when we drink water derived from these devices, we are limiting our potential energy intake. Other Water Invigoration Devices There are many other water devices on the market that claim to be energy enhancers, and even some that show an increase in biophotons under the microscope. But are they legitimate?" - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "Electricity, magnets, and electromagnets are derivative energy sources and, as yet, cannot duplicate original life force energy. They can only produce copies, with outputs that are much lower in General Vitality and White Light, gv and wl potentials can be measured and demonstrated. They can be measured by a radionics instrument such as the se-5 and most convincingly, they can be demonstrated by observing the growth of plants, fruits, and vegetables that have been fed vibrant primal energy water, as you will read about in chapter 14." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Instead of magnets, Still postulated that the manipulative techniques (long practiced by bonesetters and the like) would work as well as magnets, if not better. He founded his school of osteopathy in Kirks-ville, Missouri, teaching others how to "realign displacements" ?obstructing musculoskeletal segments, usually in the spine. Once realigned, natural healing could proceed without recourse to allopathic drugs. By the turn of the twentieth century, Still had an infirmary in Kirksville, over 700 graduates, and a sizable following. Osteopathic schools opened elsewhere." - Nortin M.

"People who take anticoagulants or use drug patches also should not use magnets. And on a practical note, keep your magnets away from your computer's hard drive and storage disks. MASSAGE Massage involves the manipulation of muscles and other soft tissues. It is beneficial in treating a wide range of conditions, including muscle spasms and pain, soreness from injury, and headaches." - Phyllis A.

"The big losers are psychiatric wards, which are magnets for poor, uninsured patients suffering from debilitating mental illness and substance abuse problems that require lengthy, expensive treatment. Medical departments, which care for patients with infectious diseases like pneumonia and chronic diseases like heart failure, are routinely in the red. The emergency departments at many hospitals break even only if they're lucky, in large measure because while their reimbursements are high, so are their costs, and many of the patients they see are uninsured." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"By simply waving his hands over a patient's body, Mesmer was able to produce precisely the same results as he had before using mineral magnets. From this startling observation, Mesmer concluded that he himself had actually been the source of the invisible magnetic energy or force that had been benefiting his patients all along. He called this force "animal magnetism," and suggested that it had worked its therapeutic effects by rechanneling or refor-tifying the weakened animal magnetism in his patients." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"MAGNETIC THERAPY AND ASTHMA For asthma and respiratory disorders, magnets are usually placed on acupuncture points on the sternum and along the spine. Shiatsu Shiatsu is a Japanese term (from shi, finger and atsu, pressure) for a stimulating massage technique used for the relief of pain or chronic stiffness and to help strengthen bones, to tone up poor circulation, the nervous and immune systems and improve the body's metabolism." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Double-blind studies on the effectiveness of magnet therapy have shown that there is no scientific basis to conclude that small magnets of the type sold for the purpose can relieve pain or influence the course of disease. Many of today's products actually produce no significant magnetic field at the skin's surface, and none beneath. The initial study that is cited by magnet marketers is the pilot study done at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where researchers found that magnets could provide significant relief for the pain of post-polio syndrome." - Phyllis A.

"As reported in New Scientist in 2002, biochemists have found that proteins in our bodies "can act like magnets themselves, and that steady external magnetic fields of fridge-magnet strength can force them to bend in line. If the same happens in the membrane of living cells, magnetic fields could have a host of knock-on effects such as slowing down ion transfer and disrupting cell signaling." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Because protons spin, like little magnets, locating them is often most simply accomplished by applying a magnetic field. This causes the spin to accelerate, eventually to the point where the nuclei behave like microscopic gyroscopes spinning out of control. All this molecular manipulation makes the water molecules that much more conspicuous, enabling the MRI machine to locate them and ultimately to extract an image of the brain's soft tissues. As the molecules slow down, they give off radiation." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "In later experiments, Grad chemically analyzed the water by infrared spectroscopy and discovered that the water treated by the healer had minor shifts in its molecular structure and decreased hydrogen bonding between the molecules, similar to what happens when water is exposed to magnets. A number of other scientists confirmed Grad's findings.? Grad moved on to mice, who'd been given skin wounds in the laboratory. After controlling for a number of factors, even the effect of warm hands, he found that the skin of his test mice healed far more quickly when healers had treated them." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"The hydrogen bonding between the molecules had lessened in a manner similar to that which occurs in water exposed to magnets.9 A number of other scientists confirmed Grad's findings; Russian research discovered that the hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water molecules undergo distortions in the crystalline microstructure during healing.10 These kinds of changes can occur simply through the act of intention. In one study, experienced meditators sent an intention to affect the molecular structure of water samples they were holding throughout the meditation." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"There is growing evidence that the magnetic field of magnets has a beneficial influence on the physiological processes of our bodies. There is a wide array of magnets on the market today. Results are showing magnetic therapy can be quit dramatic for pain relief for some people and subtle for others. PART 17 HEALTH HABITS, PRODUCTS, AND DIET WHAT I DO FOR GREAT HEALTH HABITS Here are 23 things I did for great health while fighting my cancer, same ones I follow today. 1.

"Increasing interest in magnetic therapy has resulted in a wide range of products being developed. magnets have been put inside body supports for the back, knees, ankles, wrist, elbows, head and neck. They have been designed to be inserted in pillows, bedding, even shoe insoles. There is magnetic jewellery, especially bracelets, which can be worn to help pain-affected areas. Many health food stores stock these products. Jan, a 25-year-old nurse, has had two major back operations. She is reluctant to take strong medication and her condition is such that future treatment for her is limited." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"One form of New Age magnet therapy, bipolar permanent magnets, was tested for chronic low back pain (Collacott et al. 2000) without discernible effect. I find the fact that the trial was undertaken and published in jama more illuminating than the actual science. There is absolutely no physical basis that allows one to even imagine a biological effect. It is as ludicrous as suggesting that using cell phones causes brain cancer or living near power lines causes leukemia. Social constructions pop up like weeds; ignore them and they seldom go away. Carey et al." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"But recently, with the advent of inexpensive blankets and (more expensive) mattresses with strategically sewn-in magnets, hundreds of US insomniacs have found the safe, low-frequency, brain-wave stimulation of the magnetic sleep aids surprisingly helpful. The therapy is, of course, drug free. And starting at under $100 for a blanket that could give you restful sleep for years, it's a relative bargain. Insomniacs can also try lying on magnetic "wraps" or stretched-out seat covers to test the effect for a lot less cost than a mattress." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.) "Check natural food stores and specialty back care stores for healing magnets. The Web site, www.magneticideas.com sells inexpensive magnetic wraps for injury-prone parts of the body. 2 From this position, tighten the quadriceps muscles (the big muscles on the front of the thighs). 3 Hold the flex for a few seconds, then release and exhale fully.

"In Freud's day, the treatment of hysterical symptoms included what he termed aesthesiogenic methods, such as electricity, the application of metals (such as copper bracelets), and the employment of skin irritants or magnets. For modern readers who might be tempted to adopt a condescending attitude toward such late-nineteenth-century medical technology, it should be noted that present day medicine has its own electrical treatments, including transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS). And copper bracelets and magnets are the rage with many back pain sufferers." - John E. Sarno, M.D., The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders (Get the book.)
