For people who laugh at the idea of magnetic energy, Vilik, what you say
is proof that magnetic poles DO emit energy that affects the body. My
wife, like you, is very sensitive to a magnetic mattress. She has to
get used to it in very gradual steps and even after using it a while has
definite physical sensations. On the other hand, I can sleep on one
from the first night and not notice anything.
On all of these alternative methods we're talking about, one really has
to take on faith that the effects are desirable and are due to the
remedy. You know the old saying about see the doctor and a cold goes
away in 5 days, do nothing and your cold goes away in 5 days. I do know
without doubt, though, that when my hand acts up and I put a magnet on
it overnite or for a day, the pain almost always goes away, and magnets
are the only thing I do for pain.
I'm no scientist--I can only go by what the original researchers say. It
was Dr. Albert Roy Davis who first discovered by accident in l936 that
the two magnetic poles have very different effects on biological
systems. (See his book _Magnetism and its effects on the living
system_) One night he left three boxes of fishing worms on his work
counter overnight, planning to go fishing the next morning, There was a
large horseshoe magnet on the counter which happened to touch one
cardboard box of worms with each end, while the third box was further
away from the magnet. The next day he canceled the fishing plans, and
the worms were left in this position for another day and night.
When he went to move the boxes, the worms in the box touching the
positive (south) pole had eaten through the cardboard box while the
other two boxes were intact. The story is too long to write here, but
he began to experiment with the nagnets and the worms and found that
after l2 days, the south pole worms chewed on the cardboard box, were
l/3 larger, longer in length and larger in diameter and were unusually
active. Many babies had been born. Many of the worms in the north
(negative) pole box had died, the rest were thin and inactive. The worms
in the third box (control) were unchanged.
His final conclusion after his worm experiments was that there are two
types of magnetic energy: one that arrests life (north, negative) and
one that increases life, growth and development (south, positive). He
then went on to experiment with seeds, chicks and finally rats and mice.
In all cases, the south pole produced rapid growth, aggressiveness and
strength, while the negative produced the opposite results. His book is
well worth the time and money to read for anyone who wants to work with
biomagnetics.
The point I am making here is that while positive energy produces
results that sound good (more strength, faster growth), microorganisms
and cancer cells are also enhanced by this energy--NOT the result one is
looking for. As far as biomagnetic companies who alternate n/s poles in
their mattresses, I'm sure they know what they are doing so that the
negative cancels out the harmful affects of the positive poles. I have
not read where anyone recommends use of south pole in home use--because
it is dangerous. South energy can be used for such uses as decreasing
the time needed for a broken bone to reknit, but _only_ under the
supervision of a professional.
The best advice is, before you jump in and begin using any alternative
healing modality, read up on it first. John
