Magnetic Therapy
     

I researched a number of companies to find the one I felt offered the most beneficial products at reasonable prices. I have been using magnetic therapy mats for myself and my arthritic dog, as well as using handheld magnets to address certain specific issues. I am very pleased with the results, and both my dog and I have more energy from sleeping on the mats. Whether for you, your horse, your dog or your cat, I highly recommend checking out Stuck on You magnetic therapy products at www.stuckonyou.com.  Raymond Elliott, Certified in Applied Magnetics (C.A.M.), is happy to assist you and your animal friends to better health for a variety of health issues and injuries. You can reach him at info@stuckonyou.com or 888-306-2463. The following was taken from my interview of Raymond on my show, Animal Corner. Please visit his site for more information about the benefits of magnetic therapy and the products he offers.

What is Magnetic Therapy and what is a Magnetic Therapist?

Magnetic Therapy is the balancing to Proper Polarity or stimulating of body tissue with the use of "Static Magnets", " Electromagnetic devices" or "Your Own Personal Magnetic Fields". Bringing tissue into balance or proper polarity allows it to restore normal cellular function which is missing in an injury/illness state. A Magnetic Therapist has studied Magnetic Therapy and Tissue Balancing and can design and apply a magnetic application based on the diagnosis of a Health professional like a doctor for people and a Veterinarian for pets and horses. Magnetic Therapists can be health professionals who have also studied magnetics but most often only have extended education in magnetics so it would act as an extension of a health professional such as a Physical Therapist.

What do you mean when you say "bring tissue back to Proper Polarity or Proper function"?

All human and animal bodies are designed to function properly in an alkaline/oxygen state. A North Pole field which is the dominant field of the Earth Surface promotes that alkaline/oxygen state, while South Pole energy promotes an acid/deoxygenated state. Normally the body stays in a North Pole state due to the dominant North Pole field of the Earth but when injured or ill the tissue takes a South Pole polarity. Opposites attract so that South Pole state serves to call to the body to send healing North Pole energy to the affected area. When enough North Pole energy is sent it balances out the South Pole state and the body begins its healing process. However, the Earth has been losing it's magnetic field so there is less energy to keep our bodies in it's proper state and artificial electromagnetic fields from household electricity and radio or cell phone transmissions actually work to promote the South Pole state in our bodies and often overcome the body's attempt to reinforce with North Pole energy. When this happens tissue is left in an acidic/deoxygenated state which supports the progression of viral and parasitic activity and overstimulated tissue growth as in arthritic tissue, scar tissue or cancer. A continuous South Pole state in tissue is considered a chronic illness state.


There is a chart on the "How It Works" link at www.stuckonyou.com that shows the properties of tissue in the North and South Pole states to help you to understand this better.

So How do use Magnetic Therapy to heal?

Magnetic Therapy is not medicine and does not heal in and of itself but it is a Tissue Balancing technique which returns tissue to the state where it functions properly. When tissue is functioning properly it will work to heal itself through the removal of bad and dead tissue and the rebuilding and building of tissue through good cell reproduction. With the removal of bad or dead tissue and stored fluids, inflammation will be reduced, symptoms minimized and because the body is doing the proper things the pain signal calling for healing energy will not be needed, so therefore adding pain relief.


So if the Vet or health professional has made a good diagnosis we can devise a Magnetic Application to balance the tissue into its proper operational state, adding greater value to any traditional treatments being administered as well as increasing comfort level and funtionability. Many animals have recovered completely from conditions believed to be chronically degenerating and life threatening.

Is magnetic therapy safe?

According to the United States Government, "magnets are a safe natural energy source and there are no known harmful exposure levels and no limitations by Governmental Agencies in the use of permanent magnets as applied to the human and animal body". But from the studying of Magnetic Therapy it is common sense that the two poles of a magnet are opposite and therefore have different effects on the body. While a long term North Pole exposure and its properties is natural to normal body function, long term South Pole properties are not and would promote the injury/illness state. Therefore it is always sound advice to get good direction from a health professional trained in magnetics or a Therapist Certified in Applied Magnetics before starting any long term application plan.

Can you give us an example of a Magnetic Application for a Pet?

Sure- let's say you or your pet had a fracture, tendon pull or laceration. Magnetic Therapy works the same for both humans and animals. We could apply a Magnetic Wrap designed for that area or use Vet Wrap to hold a proper magnet in place over the affected area. This would keep the tissue cells in the affected area in the proper state for normal cell repair and function. For a larger problem like systemwide arthritis, a parasitic infection like Lymes disease or West Nile, having the pet or person sleep on a suitable high strength Magnetic Pad would work to minimize degenerative tissue growth, work to maximize immune system response and work to hold parasitic or cancerous growth in remission. Clinical tests have been done and are in review for publication showing that arthritic tissue cannot grow, parasites cannot progress and cancerous cells cannot duplicate in an oxygen/alkaline state.

How fast can you expect to see results?

Usually results will be seen in the first few hours in reduced pain, increased motion in joints, minimized symptoms and a more content animal. Plus animals, being more naturally sensitive to energies, will usually seek out a good magnetic field and rest in it without direction. Often people who have purchased magnetic sleep pads for themselves find their pets sleeping on them during the day. But let common sense prevail. Just because you see most symptoms gone or function has returned in a few days it doesn't mean there is a complete healing. It takes months to regenerate most tissues and applications should be continued until the Vet or other qualified health professional has determined the condition is healed. I will usually suggest the application last beyond that time considering how much reinjury is becoming the norm.

How can anyone interested get more information?

There is a wealth of information on the web as well as the information pages at my site www.stuckonyou.com. Or they can email me at info@stuckonyou.com or magtherapist@comcast.net with questions on magnetics or references to books and papers containing verification of the information discussed during this interview. Also I hope to be able to provide you with some articles to your newsletter in the future with pieces on specific conditions, the benefits of magnetized water and more.

Magnetic Therapy for Pet and Pet Pals
by Raymond Elliott, C.A.M.
Certified in Applied Magnetics

Magnetic Therapy is often thought of just for people or just for horses, but it is actually the same for all animal forms. Illness and chronic states affect the human and animal body when tissue is stressed, becoming acidic and deoxygenated. Cellular regeneration is muted in an acidic/deoxygenated state causing arthritic tissue to develop instead of proper connective tissue, scar tissue instead of normal skin and muscle tissue, etc. Basically Magnetic Therapy is the use of static magnets to balance blood and tissue cells in an affected area, allowing the cells to become alkaline and oxygenated again. When cells are alkaline and oxygenated they respond properly, regenerate properly and will stop feeding the chronic state.


Animals are extremely sensitive to proper and improper energies. When a sick dog comes across a Proper magnetic field he will gravitate to it instinctively knowing it is helping him. Humans have lost that sensitivity and need to be convinced. The facts are available (1) but modern medicine has been slow to accept it, although some attention has been shown toward electromagnetic therapy. Surprisingly, the use of static or non-electric generated magnetics appears to work better and have less potential for side affects. There are a few different types of applications, all north, bipolar, and bipolar concentric, and all can be used successfully if used properly. It is suggested to have a good source for your magnetic purchases where the science is understood and instruction for proper application is available.


Scientists (2) have discovered that cells in the body have a clockwise cellular spin when sick, stressed or injured. If the body stays in this state too long it becomes chronic, while cells in a healthy body spin in a counter clockwise direction and are alkaline and oxygenated. Much talk has been made in health circles about eating foods to create a greater alkaline state in the body and for proper tissue function. With the proper magnetic application we can create this counter -clockwise alkaline/oxygen state instantly in a particular body area or the whole body if a large enough field is used. Simply correct the cellular spin in tissue and allow it to return to a normal process of correctly rebuilding itself.


The cellular spin of tissue (3) determines whether it is in a good building and proper operational state or in a degenerative state. A simple application of a proper polarity magnet or magnetic pad to the affected area of our pet or ourselves can instantly bring the tissue involved into the health process with minimized symptoms and pain relief. Given time, body tissue helped to stay in the proper state will be allowed to regenerate itself properly, only limited by degrees of alterations due to accident damage or invasive traditional treatments. Of course your Vet is your pet's health professional and they should always determine when any treatment should be continued or discontinued.
