Magnetic Therapy, How And Why Magnets Effect The BodyBarry Dench Have you ever read or have been told that "it is not known why magnets work" Well, this is untrue. All human and animal bodies are electromagnetic in nature and this fact is closely allied to the chemical balance of the body which can be in either a healthy or an unhealthy state. It is now known scientifically that a healthy body contains fluids that are slightly alkaline and that an unhealthy body is acidic. A poor diet can make the body acidic and in this state all sorts of dis-eases will thrive. Dr John Millward MD, "Your Life in the Balance", available on our website. It is also known that at damaged sites in the body, exists a positive electrical charge which affects both the chemical balance the electrical balance in the area resulting in pain. In order to effect healing, the bodys own systems send a negative electrical charge to the area. Dr Robert Becker, "The Body Electric" This healing action of the body is easily restricted by poor diet, lifestyle, alcohol, drugs etc. There is also a lot of evidence of something called "Magnetic Deficiency Syndrome" being a major contributor to restricting the bodys ability to respond to illness. I will be looking in depth at this syndrome in a later article. It is now firmly established that a negative magnetic field, provided by a geomagnetic north pole magnetic field the same as the Earths North Pole, is the most natural way of providing much needed support for the bodys own immune system. Dr W Philpott MD, a practitioner of magnet therapy for over 40 years explains that negative magnetic fields oxygenate and alkalise by aiding the bodys defences and helping to relieve pain. Further, they combat inflammation and infection and enhance deep restorative sleep. This latter point is extremely important. In order to combat maladies that result from the stress of our current lifestyles, the correct amount of good quality sleep is essential. Combine this with the possibility of at least reducing the amount of powerful drugs taken and what results is a completely natural complementary therapy. It is probably wise at this stage just to say that anyone reading this article that is undergoing a course of treatment with a health professional should not stop the treatment but consider using magnetic therapy in support. Also, magnetic therapy should not be used if any electronic implants are present in the body. Given the correct choice and placement of magnetic device, this is probably the most effective alternative therapy available. Typical successful application results in 80 to 90% of cases, higher with some forms of dis-ease. Magnet therapy can be applied by you whenever and wherever needed. Modern materials technology has produced small powerful inexpensive magnets which can be used anywhere on the body and can be moved about to find the best positions. Sleeping on magnets provides a most efficacious application. In the next article in this series, I will be looking at the subject of magnets, their strength measurement and a complete explanation of polarity.

Addressing Some Of The Risks Associated With A High Protein Diet Certain weight loss diets, such as Atkins, emphasize increased protein consumption while reducing carbohydrates.

That means, according to the FDA website: Fight Fatigue with this Natural Remedy Most doctors agree that non-specific fatigue can be exacerbated by modern diets rich in fats and refined carbohydrates.

Foods and Diets Litigations Why is that food processing and commerce are not strictly regulated by law so as to prevent health problems generated by an inadequate diet Unhealthy products encourage an unhealthy diet, appealing the consumer by their availability within reach and the invading advertising. If the food producers are controlled by health officials, then it must be that the regulations are too lax in as far as marketed foods are concerned. Milk Soy Protein Intolerance: A Mothers Perspective I first learned of Milk Soy Protein Intolerance MSPI in the office of a pediatric gastroenterologists office with my seven-week-old son, Max. After the first week of his life Max lost weight and was labeled "failure to thrive." As an educated mother and nurse I was devastated that this could happen. That day in the GI specialists office, he performed a proctosigmoidoscopy and biopsy on Max. He sat me where I could see him perform the test and told me what I would see. He said that the lining of the bowel would be red, swollen and bleeding, and it was. I just sat there and cried. After the test was over and I could hold Max, Dr. Mack told me that MSPI was indeed what Max had and that I should stop breastfeeding right away and put him on a special formula. He told me that there was a diet I could follow if I wanted to continue breastfeeding, but that it was very stringent and difficult. Wanting to make the best choice for my son, I stopped breastfeeding that day and started him on Alimentum. The results were dramatic. After one bottle of Alimentum he slept for 2 and 1/2 hours straight; the longest he had ever slept. 7 Reasons Low Carb Diets are Wrong The human body is designed to run best on a certain type and balance of fuel.
