MAGNETISM - HISTORICALLY


A LONG, LONG TIME AGO...

This Earth was surrounded by a much stronger Magnetic Field than that which exists today. Scientists have been recording the strength of the Earth's Magnetic Field over the last 160 years. This decline has also been determined by measurement of decrease of north-south orientation of magnetite crystals in deposits which have occurred at known times in history such as in volcanic flows and sediments.

GAUSS - Unit of measurement of magnetic fields.
Earth's magnetic field:
4,000 years ago - 4.0 Gauss
Today - 0.4 Gauss

NECESSARY TO LIFE...

We are all very much aware of our constant need for air, water, and food! However, the need for the Earth's magnetic force to maintain health was not recognized until the advent of modern space travel.

Early cosmonauts were found to have experienced up to 80% bone-calcium loss and muscle cramps when in space above the earth's magnetic field for extended periods.

In addition, scientists have discovered that the magnetic field of the earth is cyclic, with die-outs of biological life forms occurring in times of Magnetic Field decline and reversals.

Confirming evidence of die-outs determined by studies of core samples from the ocean floor.


HISTORIC USES...

References to the early use of the forces of magnetism in the healing arts are found in most civilizations of the world. The first usage is recorded by the Chinese in the book "Yellow Emperor's Book of Internal Medicine" (approx. 2000 B.C.). Reference is made to the use of magnetism in conjunction with the practice of acupuncture.

Cleopatra is claimed to have worn a lodestone on her forehead to prevent aging.


Ancient Hindu scriptures, Egyptian and Persian history, and Tibetan monk practices indicate therapeutic lodestone usage.

Famous Persian physician Ali Abbas, describes using magnetism to relieve spasms and gout - A.D. 1000.


More modern contributions to scientific and medical knowledge of electrical and magnetic energy were made by William Gilbert, private physician to Queen Elizabeth I, Volta, Galvani, and Mesmer. Mesmer was particularly noted for successful treatment of a variety of ills in the mid-1700's.

Galen, noted Greek physician, author and educator, referred to magnetism as an excellent purgative (laxative).


BEGINNING OF MODERN RESEARCH...

"Magnetic Field Deficiency Syndrome" was identified in Japan in the late 1950's. It is characterized by symptoms such as: Lack of Energy, Insomnia, Generalized Aches & Pains, Upper Back & Neck Stiffness, Frequent Headaches, Dizziness, Constipation, etc. (These symptoms seem to closely correlate with our North American version - "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome".) 12

The external application of a magnetic field to the human body was found to alleviate the symptoms of "Magnetic Field Deficiency Syndrome.
30 million Japanese use a therapeutic magnetic device according to Nikken Corporation.


CURRENT HEALTH-RELATED USES...

Pulsed Direct Current Magnetic Therapy -- Used by physiotherapists, massage therapists, chiropractors and sports trainers.

For relief of deep muscle pain, stiffness, arthritic symptoms and other related problems.


Direct Current Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy -- Used by Orthopedic Surgeons

For healing of non-union fractures - speeds healing time dramatically.


Hospital Diagnostic Tests - MRI, MEG, MKG, SQUID

A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine is a valuable diagnostic tool for visualizing internal organs such as the brain, spine, and liver, etc.; this machine uses up to 40,000 Gauss.
