Magnets Prove Attractive for Pain Relief -- 1
Magnets Prove Attractive for Pain Relief

Brenda Adderly
Healthy & Natural Journal, Volume 5, Issue 5

Not long ago, magnets were primarily used to hang kids' artwork and shopping lists on refrigerator doors. Then the alternative health movement took off, reviving interest in the centuries-old practice of using therapeutic permanent magnets for pain relief. Within a few years, thousands of magnet enthusiasts went public with stories of their own healing experiences. Top athletes, including New York Yankees' pitcher Hideki Irabu, Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino, championship golfer Chi Chi Rodriguez; Hollywood celebrities, like Anthony Hopkins, and average citizens all told of the remarkable healing power of magnets. "An hour and a half after I put a magnet on my neck, my chronic migraine headaches stopped, and I was hooked," recalls Paulette Rautio, a Washington state horse breeder, who later used magnets to alleviate the pain of rheumatoid arthritis that often put her in a wheelchair. "Magnets don't cure the condition," she explains, "but they can eliminate the pain."

In spite of the testimonials—and the $5OO million in U.S. sales of therapeutic magnets last year—the American medical profession remained skeptical. Anecdotal evidence was not enough. For physicians, seeing was believing, and what they wanted to see were results of scientifically controlled studies using therapeutic magnets. And now they have.
A Definitive Study

In a double-blind study at Houston's Baylor College of Medicine, 50 patients suffering from post-polio pain had either half-inch sized magnets or identical-looking placebo devices strapped to their most sensitive sore spots. "The majority of patients in the study who received treatment with a magnet reported a significant decrease in pain, and most of the patients who were given a placebo, or inactive magnet, reported very little or no improvement," says principal investigator Dr. Carlos Vallbona, professor of family and community medicine at Baylor. When the study began, Vallbona considered himself a skeptic. But his curiosity had been piqued by a colleague who'd found relief for a painful knee after wearing a magnet for only a few minutes. No one was more surprised than Vallbona when the results of his study supported the colleague's experience. Of the 29 patients who wore active magnets, 76 percent reported a decrease in pain after only 45 minutes. Less than 20 percent of those with the placebos felt an improvement. None of the patients reported any side effects.

The Baylor study bears out research from other countries. Scientists in Korea, for example, selected 23 student nurses who suffered from painful menstrual periods. Eleven nurses had therapeutic magnets placed on their lower abdomens. The other 12 wore placebos. "Significant" pain relief was reported by the students wearing the real magnets.

But Mesmer's arrogance angered many powerful people. They declared him and his methods fraudulent. With Mesmer's fall from grace, magnets unfortunately became synonymous with quack cures, a belief still held in conservative medical circles.

That may change soon. After the Baylor study, the president of the National Council Against Health Fraud, Dr. William Jarvis of California's Loma Linda University, once a critical opponent of magnet therapy, said he had changed his mind about its efficacy, although he said he won't be completely convinced until the study is replicated by other researchers.

At the Medical University of South Carolina, Dr. Mark S. George, who recently had impressive results using electromagnetics to treat depression, voiced similar feelings. "I'm going to be skeptical until I see more studies," he said. "But this Baylor research was refreshing, a legitimate look at an area that's very' promising."

Dr. Vallbona is currently conducting a larger study. Additional research, funded by the federal government, is under way at the University of Virginia with fibromyalgia patients. Right now, scientists are primarily interested in determining whether or not magnets alleviate pain, rather than how. In fact, although there are several theories about the ways in which magnets work, the truth remains a mystery. "We do not have a clear explanation for the significant and quick pain relief observed by the patients in our study," says Vallbona "It's possible that the magnetic energy affects the pareceptors in the joints or muscles or lowers the sensation of pain in the brain."

The Hall Effect

Many theories of how magnets work are a variation on what scientists call the Hall Effect. Since our bloodstream is filled with positively and negatively charged ions, stimulating these ions by exposure to a magnetic field creates heat. The heat increases the blood supply to the area where the magnet is located, and with the blood comes extra oxygen and nutrients, as well as a reduced amount of toxins.

As magnet experts like to point out, magnets don't actually heal the body—they create an environment in which the body can heal itself. And magnet power isn't limited to situations involving pain. Last year, Scott Fischbach, of Frederick, MD., suffered an injury to his forearm that required four stitches. As the wound healed, a large hard lump of scar tissue formed and began pressing on the nerves an tendons in his arm, causing numbness in his fingers and hand. A relative suggested he try magnets. "I was amazed at the almost instantaneous results," he says. After only 4 hours of wearing a magnet band directly over the wound, Fischbach says his scar tissue decreased by 75 percent. By the end of that week, it was completely gone and his arm had returned to normal.

Regardless of how magnets work, they've been approved for use in approximately 50 countries, including Germany, Israel, Russia and Japan, where they have been routinely used for decades. And in the United States, horse owners have been using magnets for more than 10 years, creating a burgeoning market in therapeutic magnet products designed specifically for horses. In fact, many supporters point to the success of magnets with horses as strong proof of their effectiveness, since the placebo effect doesn't exist with animals.

Magnets vs. Pills

For many pain sufferers, the best news of all is that magnets can eliminate the need for pain medication. Dr. Ronald Lawrence, clinical professor of medicine at UCLA, for example, estimates that the effectiveness rate of therapeutic magnets for pain relief is 85 percent, considerably higher than for any drug. And magnets are free of side effects, a claim that cannot be made for many pain-relievers. Some of these medications create serious stomach problems and other ailments, and others cause additional cartilage deterioration when used to treat arthritis, resulting in even more pain. Although magnets are very safe and side-effect free, if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker, use an insulin pump or drug patch, or have a fresh wound, magnets are not recommended, since their effect on these situations isn't yet known.

Shopping for Magnets

When purchasing magnets, invest in a real therapeutic magnet, not the kind that goes on the refrigerator door. Magnet strength is measured in a unit called a gauss. As a general rule, look for magnets with a gauss strength greater than 400. The negative field magnets are those most commonly used to alleviate the pain of arthritis and other inflammatory conditions, as well as rashes, burns and general aches.

Magnets are available in a wide variety of sizes, styles and products, including everything from little squares or circles to bracelets, necklaces and even mattress pads. One of the most popular are the modular kits whereby one product can be adapted to any part of the body.

Magnets are extremely simple to use. Just put the magnet on the painful area, hold it in place with a Velcro strap (magnets often come with these) or elastic wrap, and you're done. "Once I put it on," says Carl Sheola, a local guide in Peterborough, N.H., "I forget about it completely."

In products with multiple magnets, such as mattress pads, both north and south (positive) magnets may be used.

Magnetic Treatment on Hyper Tension
It is often believed that Hyper Tension or High Blood Pressure, is not a Physical Problem but related to the mental ability of a person. But it does have it's ill effects, physically.
There are at least 2 ways of controlling Hyper Tension : ---
One is using a one rupee size coin magnet on the wrist. Generally speaking, it is used as a wrist belt with north pole touching the 2 prominent nerves on the inner wrist, on the right hand for high blood pressure and on the left wrist for low blood pressure. Use for 15 minutes 2 to 4 times daily or as and when necessary.
Second is a general treatment wherein a high power magnet's north pole is used under the right palm and a similar power magnet's south pole is used under the left palm for about 15 minutes, once or twice a day. Along with if the treatment is taken in a sleeping position, then a ENT magnet's south pole may be used on the forehead to activate the Pituitary glands. This will also induce sleep and pacify the brain from negative thoughts that generally activate Hyper tension, and it's after effects.
The above treatment may be continued for a week or more, but the treatment should be reduced with improvement.
It is often advised that the person should drink about 150 - 200 ml of dual pole magnetized water, 2 to 4 times a day.
Normal sleep, timely and adequate intake of food,[ less of salt, and less of garam masala recipes. ], walking / jogging, and joyous mentality will certainly help in controlling Hyper tension. Nowadays a magnetic wrist band is also available for convenience. CTC : 8976799198 / 022 25328433
REMEMBER - THIS IS COMPLIMENTARY TO MODERN MEDICINE.

Is there any additive effects of Magnets ?

To remain Healthy and to reduce any physical problem, I am sure lots of people including me, turn to Magnet Therapy. I am addictive to drinking Magnetized water, for the simple reason that this Wonder Water Works Wonders internally. if you call it additive, well, it's your way of thinking.
Lots of patients have been using Magnets / Magnetic equipments regularly to ease pain, instead of buying and eating pills for temporary relief.
I would call it Cost - Effective - Positive Addiction.
But from the negative point of view of the word, I have not heard or read anything like that. Do let me know, if you come across.
Magnet Therapy is in the infant stage and needs a lot of experimenting, research etc. to bring to it's pure and beneficial form, in front of the patients at large.
I would really appreciate you Doctors, patients and general public at large, to add to this in their own way.
Thank you so much.

How Magnet Therapy Works

How Magnet Therapy Works
For those who testify they have experienced relief from magnetic therapy, a number of theories may apply. In one, the magnetic field affects the iron component of blood, hemoglobin, thereby increasing circulation to the area where magnets are applied. Another theory is that the magnetic field energizes and oxygenates the white corpuscles in the bloodstream, and these white corpuscles are nature's healing agents. There is the theory that the magnet's effect on charged ions in the blood increase the blood flow, resulting in increased oxygenation. Magnets are thus believed to enhance the body's natural healing powers, with the results of less pain, decreased inflammation, and increased energy levels. Some practitioners of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) also hold magnets in esteem, particularly their ability to influence the body's acupoints.

Magnetic therapy is a safe, non-invasive method of applying magnetic fields to the body for therapeutic purposes. You can put them where it hurts. Magnets seem to work best in "balanced" application, for example, on both sides of a sore knee or stiff neck. For this reason, many magnetic products for the elbows, wrists, and knees feature several opposing sets of magnets

Magnets for Therapy

Magnet therapy has been around for a long time and there are many, many anecdotal stories of successful results in using magnets for everything from acne to cancer. My personal experience definitely confirms that magnets are great at accelerating the body's natural healing. However everything I have personally experienced shows that success requires the most powerful of magnets. Extremely large (6 inch x 4 inch x 2 inch) ceramic magnets can work but they tend to be too large to use except for a few situations.

The magnets in this section are the strongest for the size that is available. Like all medical treatments, there is not a treatment that works great for all people and magnets are even more controversial. A lot of the studies that I have found on the internet have not taken into account the extreme decrease in magnetic field strength over distance in conducting their tests. The best magnet size depends on the location of the problem area and how large it is and the individual's own physical size. A 300 pounds person and a 100 pound person with back pain in the same area will require substantially different size magnets to treat the area. A 1.5 inch square x 4mm N50 might be just right for the 100 pound person but the 300 pound person might have no effect from that size. They would probably require a 3 inch square x 0.5 inch thick N50 to just get the same result.

Naturally, no one makes any guarantees of results in medical treatment but if you are going to try it as a possible treatment, keep in mind that even for those that magnets have worked, it is not immediate and best results come from the strongest magnets used 16 or more hours a day. Strong magnets do present other concerns and require extreme caution to avoid getting pinched by the smaller ones to serious finger damage from the "body-part crushing" magnets in the 2 inch dia x 0.5 inch thick and larger.

Swelling around the ankle

Magnet Therapy for Swelling Ankle
First find out if there is any fracture. In fracture you will not be in a position to stand on the ankle even for a minute.
The best way to tackle ankle pain is to apply a strong magnet's south pole under your ankle for about 15 to 20 minutes twice a day, preferably first thing in the morning, and then again in the evening.
If you have a doubt that a fracture might be there, then use a south pole and a north pole on either side of the ankle preferably in a sitting position. This may be done twice a day for 15 minutes each. Refer to LI4 in Acupressure .
To enhance the healing process a small [ 25 paise coin size ] magnet's north pole, may be fixed with a help of a micro core tape, on the portion between the thumb and the first finger, either on one hand or on the affected foot for about 6 to 8 hours. and changed daily.
The above treatment may be repeated for a week or so or till the pain subsides.
In case, the pain does not start subsiding in 2 or 3 days, then increase the treatment to 3 times a day.
Make sure that you drink approx. 200 ml of dual pole magnetized water every 2 hours, during the day, to augment the healing effect internally through better blood circulation.
A Acupressure / Magnetic Walking Mat is available with us. Stand on the Mat for about 10 secs. and then walk on it for about a minute [minimum] . The results are instantaneous, but need consistency. CTC : 8976799198 / 022 25328433

Falling of Hair

Falling of hair is a very common problem in the age group of 40+.
Basically it can be attributed to softening of hair roots. In order to have strong hair roots
one should do the following :
1. Activate the pituitary glands by keeping a south pole of a ENT magnet on the forehead, for about 15 minutes daily at a fixed time. At the same time use a north pole of a strong magnet under your right palm and a south pole under the left palm. This will help reduce extra heat in the body. The small magnet on the fore-head will induce sound sleep, control and keep mental peace and effectively keep the elecltromagnetic disturbances away.
2 Twice daily apply dual pole charged coconut oil, and massage for about 5 minutes, with the finger tips.
3. Use a [ vibrating if possible ] magnetised hair brush to activate the hair roots and thus make them healthy.
4. Wash your hair with normal temp. water, only once a week, and dry the hair with a soft cotton towel.
5. Drink between 500ml to 1ltr of dual pole magnetised water first thing after you get up in the morning and drink atleast 150/200ml of magnetized water every 3 hours [ approx. 3/4 times a day]. This will clear constipation, clear any toxins, antibodies from the blood and help induce proper blood circulation through the entire body, and specially to the roots of the hair.
6. Eat plenty of fruits and green veggies, to increase Vitamin E, in the body. This will help control healthy hair roots, thereby reducing hair fall.
7. Less of tension, a little body exercise, 6-8 hours of sound sleep will only augment the healing process.
A Vibrating Magnetic Hair brush is available with us for sale. ctc 8976799198
Best of luck and happy healing.

Magnet Medicine - Mumbai Mirror Jan. 5, 2008
Mumbai Mirror Bureau

Researcher Thomas Skalak holds up a set of magnets. Skalak’s study shows that magnets could be used the same way as ice packs for sprains, bumps and bruises

Magnets have been touted for their healing properties since ancient Greece – and therapy using magnets is still widely used as an alternative method for treating a number of conditions, from arthritis to depression. But there hasn’t really been scientific proof that magnets can heal.

Still, hopeful consumers buy bracelets, shoe inserts, mattresses, etc that are embedded with magnets based on anecdotal evidence, hoping for a non-invasive and drug-free cure to what ails them.

“Health organisations regulate specific claims of medical efficacy, but in general static magnetic fields are viewed as safe,” notes Thomas Skalak, a professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Virginia, USA.

Skalak has been studying magnets for a number of years in order to develop real scientific evidence about the effectiveness of magnetic therapy.

His lab leads the field in the area of micro circulation research – the study of blood flow through the body’s tiniest blood vessels.


Magnets and blood flow
Along with Cassandra Morris, a Ph D student in biomedical engineering, the professor set out to investigate the effect of magnetic therapy on micro circulation.

Initially, they sought to examine major claims made by companies that sell magnets: that magnets increase blood flow.

The researchers first found evidence to support this claim through research with laboratory rats. In their initial study, magnets of 70 milliTesla (mT) field strength – about 10 times the strength of the common refrigerator variety – were placed near the rat’s blood vessels.

Quantitative measurements of blood vessel diameter were taken, both before and after exposure to the static magnetic fields – the force created by the magnets.

Quantitative measurements of blood vessel diameter were taken, both before and after exposure to the static magnetic fields – the force created by the magnets.

Morris and Skalak found that the force had a significant effect: The vessels that had been dilated constricted, and the constricted vessels dilated, implying that the magnetic field could induce vessel relaxation in tissues with constrained blood supply, ultimately increasing blood flow.

Dilation of blood vessels is often a major cause of swelling at sites of trauma to soft tissues such as muscles or ligaments. The study results on vessel constriction led Morris and Skalak to look closer at whether magnets, by limiting blood flow in such cases, would also reduce swelling.

Their recent research, published in the November 2007 issue of the American Journal of Physiology, yielded affirmative results.

In this, the hind paws of anesthetised rats were treated with inflammatory agents in order to simulate tissue injury.
Magnetic therapy was then applied to the paws. The research results indicate that magnets can significantly reduce swelling if applied immediately after tissue trauma.

Since muscle bruising and joint sprains are the most common injuries worldwide, this discovery has significant implications.

“If an injury doesn’t swell, it will heal faster,” says Skalak.

EYE SIGHT IMPROVEMENT

Eye sight improvement
Eye sight deterioration can be because of various reasons, viz. to name a few : incorrect reading habits, long hours of viewing TV / Computer monitor, from close distances, fast foods, pollution etc.
Eye sight improvement is not very easy, but not difficult either.
The treatment is as below : ---
1. If you are aware of acupressure then activate the points related to the eyes.
2. Use a Magnetic Spectacle with both poles on the inside as south poles, for about
15 mins. twice a day, very consistently.
3. During the use of the spectacles, keep a south pole under your neck. use a south pole under your left palm and a north pole under your right palm.
4. Drink dual pole charged magnetised water 150ml at least 4 times a day.
5. After regular use as mentioned above for at least 8 days, you will feel that the stress
and strain [ responsible for the increasing no. ] reduces to bear minimum.
6. Take 2 eye cups. Wash them clean, and fill them with dual pole charged magnetised
water [ charged for a min. of 12 hours with the help of a pair of high power magnets ].
close your eyes, insert both of your eyes, into the eye cups and start blinking,
without taking them out of the water, for about 25 times.
7. With a soft towel dry your eyes gently.
8. Now open your eyes slowly and see the difference in your eyesight.
9. You will feel that the stress and strain in your eyes is now almost nil. The strength in your eyes has increased. They are now more fresh, and the heat in them has also reduced.
10. If you were to continue the above treatment, you will surely come to the conclusion, that this is a very safe treatment, which gives you good result, without spending any thing and most importantly without any side effects.
11. Over and above, If you were to combine acupressure homeopathy, do some eye exercises regularly, you will surely benefit a lot.
All the best , keep smiling and happy healing.
Do let us know your comments.

STRESS

Stress is a very common problem nowadays. It can be as we are falling short of competition, time and money.
However, it is the mental ability of the patient, that can heal him fast.
As per Magnet Therapy activating the pituitary glands help heal the patient fast.
A high power north pole under the right palm and a south pole under the left palm,
along with South pole of a small ceramic magnet, if placed on the forehead for 15 minutes twice a day [ preferably once around sunrise and the other just before sunset. ], or according to the pain, helps.
A small coin magnet's north pole if fixed on the tender portion between the thumb and the first finger, will augment the healing process.
Patients of all types of pain are advised to drink approx. 1 litre of magnetized water, first thing in the morning [ before brushing your teeth ]. Also drink 1 glass full of mag. water every 2 hours, or atleast 4 times a day.
A Mag. Head belt with 3 coin magnets' south pole , may be used for 15 min. as and when necessary. Available with us.
Best of luck and happy healing

HYPER /' HYPOTHYROIDISM

Hyper Thyroidism

Hyper Thyroidism is a dificult problem to cure.
However Magnet therapy can help keep it under control. The same treatment
that I give below, if taken for a longer length of time will certainly reduce
the problem.
If you have a pair of small ceramic magnets, then use south pole on both sides
of the prominent bone, on the front side of the neck, for 15 mins. thrice daily.
Also use a south pole of a moderately strong magnet, under your neck in a
sleeping position.
Preferably use a north pole of a strong magnet under your right palm and a
south pole of the similar magent under your left palm, for 15 minutes twice daily.
Drink a glassfull of magnetised water at an interval of 3 hours, 4 times a day.
Gargling for a minute with warm water, with salt mixed in it also helps.
This treatment has been proved usefull in the inintial stages of Hyper Thyroidism.
Acupressure/Acupuncture treatment if taken in conjunction, with Magnet therapy,
also does help. A Magnetic Thyroid belt is available with us.
Best of luck and Happy Healing.
and monthly later on.

URINATION

Urination Problems,

Yellowish, foul smelling urine is basically a problem of urine retention, along with very less intake of water.
Using north pole on the right side and south pole on the left side of the body, cool forces, in the body will increase, reducing the heat from the body. This treatment is specially effective when there is pain, swelling, soreness and / or stiffness anywhere in the body.
South pole under the left palm / sole and north pole under the right palm / sole, with a south pole under the lower lumber area and a north pole on the navel twice daily, for 10/15 days should control the urine problem. Dual pole charged magnetized water 125 ml, every two hours, and 4 litres of normal water intake, during the whole day, and urinate accordingly is sufficient to control the urine problem.
Best of luck and happy healing.
Do convey the results for the convenience of others on Magnet Therapy.

CHRONIC INDIGESTION

Chronic Digestion.
Digestion is one of the most common problem,currently.
Lethargic / sedementary lifestyle, fast food, lack of exercise, less walking,less in take of water, regular non veg. etc can be the main attributes. Indigestion, constipation, dysentery, diarrhea, vomiting are its many forms.
Most forms of indigestion, can be tackled with dual pole magnetized water. Magnetized water, activates digestive, urinary and excretory systems, there by cutting the VICIOUS circle of Indigestion.
Using the south pole of a strong magnet near the lower lumber region, and simultaneously, using the north pole on the navel,
first thing in the morning for 15/20 mins, and drinking 2 glasses of dual pole charged water, immediately, will ease the excretory / urinary system. drinking 125ml mag. water every 2 hours, [and drink 4 liters of normal water -- no refrigerated water], will soon bring the indigestion problem under control.
Dy sentry and diarrhea, are caused by infection, and / or indigestion. Using south pole under lumber region and south pole on the navel, will surely ease the problem. Provided diet restrictions are strictly followed.
Kidney / Gall bladder Stones are the advanced stage of constipation. Shortage of water intake, is more attributed, than other contributaries. These stones are formed from small beans found in tomato, brinjals, guava etc which are rather uncrushables of the digestive track. They, unable to get out of the excretory track, get accumulated, and form a small stone, somewhere in the urinary track, and jam the way causing acute pain, in the stomach, kidney, or near the gall bladder, hence the term Kidney/Gall Stones. Magnetized water, can slowly degenerate them and help wash out thru the urinary track.
Using south / south in case of pain , and south north, to activate the digestive system, is the basic treatment, along with magnetized water.
Acupressure, if used along with, Magnet therapy does create wonders.
Best of luck and Happy healing. Diet restrictions are equally important.

IMPOTENCY

Impotence

This is a very tricky question to answer, and mind you, the information, that I give you, will not be ill-treated, misused, in any way.
Magnet therapy has worked wonders, in this particular, private but a common problem, in men and also, in women. This is a problem in which both as a couple, need to be treated, and if I am not mistaken, they themselves are the best healers. A foreplay, played, by both, is important, without any hinch in their minds.
Coming back to Magnet Therapy, the first and foremost important thing that must be regularized is the digestive system, along with the mental abilities of the couple.
First and foremost, is to have a north pole of a strong magnet on the navel/pubic region, and a south pole under the lower back bone, for 15/20 mins. twice daily. Once early in the morning, the moment one gets up and the second time, 1 hour after dinner but just before going to bed. Use a ceramic magnet on the fore head. This is one part.

CANCER TREATMENT

This is a very tricky question to answer.
The word Cancer, itself sends agony, hopelessness, fear and what not, down the lane.
The modern life style, fast food, fast declining environment, work and personal tension, negligible exercise etc, all count to this dis-ease.
Cancer, is detected, quite late, and therefore treatment has to be quick, and of a strong dose. Secondly most cancer patients, opt for the modern medicine for a quicker relief, mentally and physically.

'Biomagnetic Research Foundation', of Chicago claim that a strong magnetic field can arrest the growth of cancer.. The Biomagnetic Research foundation has obtained promising results, in many a cancer patients, of different organs. It would be an exaggeration to say, that all forms of cancer, yield to Magnet therapy, but a lot of cancer patients have volunteered to Magnet Therapy, with astonishing results.
Dr. E. K. Maclean from New York, has extensively used electromagnets, with considerable success, to treat cancer. Dr. Maclean, claims that " Cancer can't exist in a strong Magnetic Field. "
It is true that most patients turn to Magnet Therapy, along with other alternative therapies, when the problem has gone too far. And therefore, they claim that M. T. doesn't help. Under the circumstances, I have no words. But if the Doctors, start using Magnet therapy along with the modern medicines, I feel, the patients stand a good chance positively.
Lastly Prevention is better than cure. Magnetized water , if taken regularly, will certainly slow down the process of deteriorating effects of a dis-ease. Which indirectly helps in maintaining health.
Happy Healing.

GALL / KIDNEY STONES

Gall / Kidney stones, are a problem related to the digestive system.
The basic treatment is : Lie down on your stomach, and keep an medium power magnet, north pole on the right side of lower back, and another similar magnet, south pole on the left lower back, for about 15 mins. twice daily. This will activate the gall bladder and the kidney region, to flush out, the stone, thru blood circulation and also will help in reducing, any pain, in the region.
Magnetized water, about 200/250 ml, if taken, internally, every 2 hours, will dissolve the stone and also help in flushing it out. Mag. Water is very important in this treatment.
Preventive measures are also equally important : Do not eat any fruits, vegetables, with small beans in it. viz. peru, baingan, tomato etc. Keep your bowels clear. You will find drastic difference, if you follow as said above. You may take homeopathy, ayurvedic medicines to faster the effect.
All the best and happy healing.

Important
Though this therapy is very good in most cases, it is always recommended to use this therapy in conjunction with other alternative therapies.
This should be complimentary to modern medicine.

Types of Treatments.

Basically there are two types of treatment.
1. Energizing / Heat Treatment : If the South Pole of a strong Magnet is used on the Right palm/sole/side of the body, and a North pole of a similar power Magnet is used on the Left palm/sole/side of the body, then the treatment energizes the body and hence termed as Energizing Treatment. By doing so, all processes in the body are enhanced, thereby, hot forces increase/dominate.
This type of treatment is generally used, in conditions where heat/energy is necessary. viz. : Paralysis, hypo hypothyroidism, High Diabetes, Varicose veins, Low BP, Obesity etc.
2. Cooling / Pain Reducing Treatment. : If the North Pole of a strong Magnet is used on the right side of the body and the South Pole of a similar Magnet is used on the left side of the body then the resultant effect has a cooling / Pain reducing effect and hence termed as Cooling / Pain-reducing Treatment. By doing so cool forces in the body increase/dominate, thereby slowing down all the processes in the body.
This type of treatment is generally used in conditions where heat / pain is predominant. Viz. Rheumatic/Arthritic conditions, fever, High BP, Hyperthyroidism etc.

If North Pole of a strong Magnet is used on the navel, and a south Pole of the similar Magnet is used, near the Lumbago area, in a sleeping position, then this heating / energizing treatment can be very useful in Constipation, Indigestion, gases, amenorrhea etc.
If South Pole is used on the navel as well as in the lumbago are, in a sleeping position, then this treatment can be useful in Dysentry, dysmennorhea, somachache etc.
