A growing number of people have become interested in alternative medicine to treat illnesses. Alternative medicine as a practice has created a significant amount of controversy both inside and outside the traditional medical field. Alternative medicine refers to a treatment or substance that is unproven under the application or accepted scientific standards. The most common types of alternative medicine include herbs, supplements, therapies and activities that are outside traditional medical practice. Some of these raise questions about their safety and effectiveness.

Acupuncture, massage, meditation, herbal tea, and plant extracts are popular among devotees of alternative medicine, but many traditional doctors believe these treatments are ineffective or even dangerous. Alternative medicine has become increasingly popular as more people face the aches, pains, and illnesses that accompany aging. In some cases, individuals have not obtained a cure with traditional medical approaches and turn to other options to treat their illness. In still other cases, people feel very strongly that natural methods of treatment are better than traditional medicine, so they look for answers from alternative practitioners instead of the family doctor.

There are risks associated with alternative medicine. Some of the risks arise through the use of untested, ineffective, and even unsafe substances. The manufacturers of these substances sometimes exaggerate the claims of their effectiveness. They may misrepresent the science related to the material to convince consumers to buy the product, even if its use can endanger a person’s health.

Some herbal remedies are advertised as being able to improve memory, raise metabolism, or cure cancer and heart disease. In reality, the remedies may cause harm if taken at high doses. Another risk is that someone with a serious disease like cancer will not receive traditional and proven treatments, preferring to use alternative methods that may not be effective. In these cases, people are risking their lives. Sometimes, patients may be using alternative treatments, but not telling their doctors about them. This can lead to dangerous drug interactions. If a traditional doctor is unaware of the substance a patient is taking, medications that produce harmful interactions may be unknowingly prescribed.

It is possible to recognize potentially risky alternative treatment. If a treatment sounds too good to be true, it probably is. While this is a cliché, it is often very true in situations involving alternative medicines. Be careful of products labeled ‘miraculous’ or ‘ancient remedy.’ If you are thinking about treatments such as acupuncture or reflexology, check the qualifications of the practitioner before being treated. Ask about the training received, and research the treatment to determine if it has been scientifically tested and found to be effective.

It’s a good idea to ask your doctor about an alternative treatment you are considering. Trained medical professionals have the experience and education to help you make safe decisions about your health.

Once, in a dream, I was trying to push my left hand into a glove, but I just couldn’t manage it. For some reason, I felt an urgency to do it to prevent some danger from befalling me. The right hand was easy; it slipped quickly into the glove, which looked and felt like a plush surgical glove. But when I attempted to pull its partner onto my left hand, it felt like my hand was crippled, with bent fingers. It just didn’t fit into the glove. I tried again, the urgency growing. My left hand felt more crippled and the glove felt more rugged and larger. I tried harder in a panic. Now my left hand felt paralyzed with closed fingers and the glove looked like a large garden glove. I woke up sweating. It didn’t take me long to realize that my right hand was twisted under my pillow, numb and painful under the weight of my head. Somehow, blood didn’t reach my fingers. In contrast, my left hand, which had been the source of my problems in my dream, was perfectly normal. I deliberated my pinched right hand, worked out the numbness with finger gymnastics, and was soon just fine. However, I started to wonder: why did my troubled right hand appear in my dream as my left hand? Could that be that dreams about ourselves present reflections, like mirrors? And if so, what does that teach us? How can that help?

As a curious scientist and a meticulous engineer with 35 years of practice, I couldn’t leave this question alone. More than a year of careful dream logging and analyzing followed, and my research finally confirmed my suspicion: that our self-reflecting dreams are chiral, a Greek word for handedness. For instance, the mirror image of a left-handed bolt is a right-handed one, and a left-handed bolt cannot be turned into a right-handed nut.  Also, our double helix DNA spiral is right-handed, and nature prefers conserving chirality. An important discovery, to be sure, but what is it good for?

First and foremost, it is good for the very thing that my own dream warned me about!  For instance, if in your dream you feel pain on your right side, instead of reaching for laxatives, you might want to start pushing your finger on the left side to see if it hurts like a knife. You may suspect that your appendix is inflamed. Such a dream can save your life. Less dramatic warnings in dreams can help you identify problems in your body. For instance, if you keep dreaming that you want to go somewhere, but your left leg is hurting or numb; you may want to check if your right leg needs a massage to alleviate peripheral circulatory constraints. In any case, remember: what is left awake, is right in dreams. If danger comes to you in your dream from the left, when you wake up, look out for the right. This, of course, does not hold on leftwing attacks of liberals on rightwing conservatives or vice versa. Chirality is not defined in social relations.

Taking this discovery a step further provides insight into the fields of acupuncture and magnetic therapy. People in western countries often turn to acupuncture when their doctor can’t help them, or when they feel trapped by the pill paddler health care system, which has no interest in disease prevention but in returning paying customers. An acupuncturist pokes several 0.1-0.2mm diameter wide, 35mm long needles, 12 mm deep into the body at specific acupuncture points. These are about 0.5mm round spots on the skin where the electrical resistance drops 500 fold relative to its vicinity. Unfortunately, these spots are not marked on our skin, so a good acupuncturist, with acquired practice and successfulness demonstrated by popularity, is obviously desired. There are over 2,200 useful acupuncture points on our body. About 220 of these are believed to be essential, and 22 are crucial. These are connected by so called meridians, which are supra-nervous lines of conduction, which are not connected by channel of conduction, but rather by intercellular ionic conduction. When French scientists requested doctors to inject radioactive fluid under the skin, the fluid flowed along the meridians, rather than dispersing evenly like an ever-enlarging spot, which would fade away. Before such experiments, western medicine questioned the very existence of meridians, while eastern medicine, practiced for six millennia, was based on them. An acupuncture point is a nodal point, whereas a meridian’s branches off. The meridians form a complex network, similar to our nervous stem. Meridians connect far-apart body parts, organs and glands. The network of meridians is intimately connected to the nervous and the lymphatic system network. Some scientists believe that the system of meridians is remnant from our ancient past, when species had not yet developed a nervous system, and that today such a system still prevails in full vigor and functionality in some reptiles in the Galapagos. Time had weakened the system in vertebrates, but it is still responsive to strong local stimuli.

So what flows in the meridians? The ancient oriental belief is that meridians channel the flow of our life energy, which they call “chi.” The western scientist calls it intercellular ionic or electro-osmotic current, acknowledging that biological cells are semiconductors. This idea was first conceived by Dr. Albert Szentgyorgy, a Hungarian doctor and scientist who received the Nobel Prize for his discovery. Whatever “chi” is, when its flow gets blocked, the connected organs get sick, and vice versa. So, based on what is called the “gate control theory,” the acupuncturist attempts to stimulate the nodal points to remove the blockage. Acupuncture points are responsive to acids and bases, heat, pressure, light, electricity and magnetism. While the body, as a paramagnetic object, cannot be attracted to or repulsed by a magnet, the clear proof of our bodily magnetism is the practice of MRI, the magnetic resonance imagery, used in modern clinics. For those people who are afraid of or have an aversion to being poked, acupuncture is no longer done only with a needle. Electric, laser, or magnetic stimuli, as well as acupressure, are becoming popular. While acupuncture requires special knowledge and skill, some modern tools, already on the emerging market, aim toward the convenience of personal use at home.

An electrical acupuncturist tool first needs to be switched to point-locator mode to identify meridian nodal points by resistance measurement. Then it needs to be turned to treatment mode. Based on the resistance reading, a weak current is passed through the electrodes for treatment for 10-30 minutes per point. The point found needs to be marked, because if the point is missed by even the size a ballpoint pen’s tip, the treatment is ineffective. For this reason, reported results of these devices are often sporadic.

Laser pointers are useful because their spots are well visible. However, these work only in a very narrow band of light wave, which corresponds to the color of chlorophyll and the red blood cell and its round multiples. This includes infrared, which is invisible to naked eye, but visible to digital cameras. The color laser is well visible, but again, the acupuncture points need to be precisely located prior to successful treatments. The common office pointer does not work in acupuncture. The laser cannot be so intensive that it burns into the skin, but it must be intensive enough to penetrate at least 12mm. This explains why mostly dermatologists use this technique in their walk-in clinics.

Nothing appears to be suitable, safe, effective and reliable for private home use. The exception, recently released on the market, is the ImmunOnOne (www.ImmunOnOne.com), solely made and sold by Immune Sentry, Ltd. (www.ImmuneSentry.com).  This device emits a unique combination of Chlorophyll green and infrared light pulses with interposed through and across with magnetic pulses, which induce galvanic and surface currents for acupuncture point stimulation. ImmunOnOne comes with a list and map of the 12 most important treatment points, out of which 2 to 4 at a time can be used to alleviate pain, allergic symptoms, and a host of listed ailments, including obesity and sexual and mood deprivation problems. Its most important use, however, is prevention, which it achieves by strengthening and conditioning the immune system. This is accomplished mainly by treating the thymus gland and the sun point, located halfway between the nipples and the belly button. This small, battery operated instrument is no larger than a marker, and it does not require precise treatment point location. One can treat him or herself while watching the news, perhaps eliminating the need to ever see a doctor again. Nothing is more simple, painless and natural when it comes to health preservation. ImmunOnOne is easily wearable, and fits comfortably in a pocket.

Remember what science proved already: permanent magnets, such as those found in magnetic bracelets, pendants and blankets, have marginal effect on the body, if any. But magnetic field, if properly ministered and pulsed in the body’s natural frequency, has strong influence, influence that is extremely useful for healing. Also, constant (non-pulsating) light has weak to moderate healing effect, but pulsed, monochromatic light has strong effect. Similarly, quick tapping is more effective than constantly pressing on acupuncture or acupressure points, and heat cannot even be pulsed to be effective by all means (which is why billons in Asia and the Middle East have their bodies covered with moxibustion or “mugwort burns” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moxibustion)). Unless one is using the harmless ImmunOnOne, extensive reading about acupuncture is necessary before trying at home, in order to avoid possibly dangerous and harmful consequences that may result from using any other device or instrument. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acupunture).  

Except the ones which run right along the center of the body, which separate our left from our right, all acupuncture points are double points (comes in chiral pairs), found on the body’s left and right sides at the same location. So which points should be stimulated, the one on the left or on the right? Even registered and certified acupuncturists seem to be confused by this question, and they typically suggest treating both. To save on treatment time and cost, some suggest picking the left or right arbitrarily, and switching them come next treatment time. I suggest, however, that follow this advice only if your dreams do not instruct you otherwise. If, in your dream, your left sides hurts or is at the center of action or attention, then treat the right side point, and vice versa. Don’t ignore the warnings of your sleeping body. Such warnings are always sincere and intended to help you. If you ignore such a warning, provided that you remember it when you wake up, you can’t rightfully blame your acupuncturist or your doctor. So remember: what is left awake, is right in dreams. If you usually hold a glass of water in your right hand when you are awake, you will hold it in your left hand in your dreams. Listen to your dreams, and be aware – what comes next may surprise you.

In the fast paced world that we live in it can be easy to neglect our health and wellness. We’re so busy racing through our day to day lives – family, friends, work, social engagements – that we don’t take the time to look after ourselves. It’s really no wonder that so many of us are tired and run down. What are some simple things that we can do to improve our quality of life?

Drink Drink Drink

You’ve heard it a million times and you’ll probably hear it a million more – drink more water!

Think about it: The human body is 72% water. A 5% drop in fluids creates a 25-30% loss in energy. A 15% drop in fluids causes death! At this point in time 66% of us aren’t drinking enough water, so over half the population isn’t running on all six cylinders to begin with – before things like bad air, bad food and stress take their toll.

It’s not really a difficult thing to remedy. Just drink one glass of water every half hour or so – or 10-12 glasses of water per day – and you’ll notice a huge jump in your energy levels.

Living Food – Loving Life!

A little known fact is that heating food above 116°F destroys much of the nutrient content. Considering that we already aren’t eating enough veggies, that’s a fairly substantial problem. Nutritionists recommend five serves of fresh vegetables per day. How many of us are actually taking that advice?

A great way to get the nutrients found in fresh veggies without spending all day at stove or eating raw celery sticks is to juice your veggies. Make sure that you own a good juicer (some juicers expose vegetables to heat created by friction during juicing, which breaks down important enzymes), grab some fresh vegetables and drink your way to good health. It takes a fraction of the time (there’s no cooking involved, for one thing) and it’s convenient. You can take your juice to work and even give some to the littlies for school lunches!

Wheatgrass in particular is an excellent source of nutrition. It’s high in chlorophyll (sometimes described as ‘plant blood’ because it closely resembles human red blood cell molecules) and has over 100 elements that the body needs. Fresh grains are another excellent source for vitamins and minerals.

Energy In – Energy Out

Exercise is another dirty word for most of us. The thing is, exercise doesn’t have to be horribly time consuming or mind-numbingly boring. There are plenty of options.

Years ago gyms usually offered weight rooms, aerobics classes and maybe a tydro-circuit. Now you can add water aerobics, yoga, pilates, dance-ercise, step classes and a whole range of new workout options.

If you don’t really have the time or money for the gym, or prefer to spend your mornings/nights at home, then try an exercise bike or walker. I’d be lost without my exercise bike – I set it up in front of the television and peddle away merrily during my favourite shows.

If, like me, you suffer from illness or injury or your level of fitness is quite low, you might like to consider some invaluable advice that I got from my doctor:

Once you’re physically unfit, and particularly if you’re also unwell, it can be a mammoth battle to just do the most minimal amount of exercise in a day. The danger is that inactivity leads to further loss of energy, which becomes a self-perpetuating cycle until you can barely get off the couch.

An excellent way to get back into a physical routine is to start slowly. Ridiculously slowly, it may seem. For the first couple of weeks, walk/ride for 5 minutes per day – exactly 5 minutes, no more, even if you think you could continue. When the 2 weeks are up, increase to 7 minutes, then 10 minutes, 12 minutes… continue to gradually increase your activity until you’re at a level that you’re comfortable with.

It may sound a little silly, but it works. In effect, you trick your body into producing more energy. You’re building your exercise time up so slowly that your body doesn’t really realise what’s happening. Follow this method and, before you know it, you’ll be comfortably exercising within your limits every day.

So, folks, that’s the basics. If you can rearrange your life a little to allow for better eating habits and a little exercise, and if you remember to just drink a glass of water every half hour or so, you’ll be well on the way to living a healthy life. On a final note, don’t forget to take some quiet time for yourself. Meditating is an excellent way to minimise stress. You don’t have to sit around for hours, just give yourself 5 minutes of quiet time every day – even in the shower, if that’s the only place where you can get time out – and have a little catch up with yourself.

And, last but by no means least, laugh! In fact, laugh like a loon – the louder the better! You’ll be amazed at how much such a simple thing can lift your spirits!

Q. I’ve read about the benefits of magnets. Can they actually help ease my aches and pains?

A. The jury’s still out, despite magnets’ widespread popularity. Physicians have used them throughout history to address a variety of illnesses, and current proponents believe magnets can relieve pain, boost energy, and cure myriad conditions. Of the two types used today–static magnets and electromagnets–the latter shows the most promise.

For now, I advise saving your money on static magnets, which are commonly sold as patches, disks, bracelets, belts, bandages, shoe inserts, and mattress pads. Although some investigations suggest that static magnets (so named because, like those that hang on refrigerator doors, their magnetic field doesn’t change) may slightly reduce back pain, most research fails to make such a connection. A large review of studies published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal in 2007, for example, concluded that they did not effectively treat pain.

However, it’s worth asking your doctor about electromagnets, which, like an MRI, produce pulsed magnetic fields only when an electrical current passes through them. They’ve been shown to speed healing of bone fractures, and a study published in Pharmacopsychi­atry (March 2008) found that they effectively treated depression in patients who did not respond to antidepressants alone. Studies of their effect on urinary incontinence, migraines, and osteoarthritis have produced mixed results. More research is needed, and they should be used under a doctor’s supervision.

Finding a natural remedy to sickness or an ailment isn’t hard. A quick visit to a health food store to speak with a clerk who is well versed in what herbs are natural remedies for what ailment can provide a wealth of knowledge. Also a quick surfing tour of the Internet using natural remedy, alternative medicine, natural cures or a host of other phrases as a keyword can provide a great way more information then you’ll have time to read.

When looking for a natural remedy use common sense and add a grain of salt to what you may be told. Some people take it to an extreme and think there is a natural remedy for everything. Not true, but if you use common sense you’ll probably find a natural remedy for most ailments. After all, for many hundreds of years there was no such thing as a pharmaceutical industry, and using a natural remedy to cure an illness was the only way an illness could be cured.

The world of the natural health treatments is varied and multi faceted. A few examples however are very common and should be known by everyone. For instance, zinc is a great natural cure for colds. Cranberries are a natural remedy for urinary track infections, especially common for women. Aloe Vera juice applied to cuts and abrasions is a natural remedy that does wonders for healing. Garlic is a natural remedy for heart disease and an immune system strengthening agent. Seeds from the common pumpkin are great to rid the body of parasites. Apple cider vinegar is a multifunctional natural remedy for many diseases, and an overall cleanser of the system. St. John’s Wort is a natural remedy for depression symptoms. Oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, and other citrus fruits are full of vitamins and a great natural remedy for the common cold, as is chicken soup. White vinegar is a natural remedy for toe fungus when the feet are soaked in it. Cinnamon is a natural remedy for high blood pressure and much safer than pharmacological solutions. Grape seed is an ancient natural cure for prostate problems, common in middle aged and older men. Green tea boosts the immune system, ginger tea aids digestion, and most teas in general help keep the system flushed out and pure. 

You can see there are many natural remedies available for use to aid in maintaining health. There are also some great products on the market that provide some of the same benefits as mother natures fruit. When your doing that search on the Internet take a look for magnetic therapy products. Magnetics is becoming the new frontier in alternative medicine and natural cure medicine.

Before we begin a discussion about the benefits of acupuncture, let’s talk about the origins of acupuncture.  It was first used in China over 2000 years ago, and is one of the oldest medical procedures in the world.  It is a family of procedures that stimulate the anatomy of the body and helps to balance the energy flow throughout the body.  It is this kind of acupuncture that is practiced in the United Sates today, through the use of tiny, metallic needles placed in defined areas and manipulated by hand or by electrical stimulation. 

Acupuncture is the basic foundation for Traditional Chinese Medicine and is based on the belief that there are two opposing and inseparable forces within our body.  They are known as the Yin and Yang of the entire person. The Yin is representative of the cold, slow, or passive principle, and yang represents the hot, excited or active principle.  A healthy state is achieved by maintaining a balance state of the yin and yang.  This is done through vital pathways or meridians that allow for the flow of qi, or vital energy.  The vital energy flow occurs along pathways known as meridians. These meridians connect over 2,000 acupuncture points along the body.  There are 12 main meridians, and 8 secondary meridians.  Although traditional western medicine does not completely understand how acupuncture works, the proof that it does work has been shown in several studies conducted by western medical facilities.

Does acupuncture work?  According to the National Institute of Health, the answer is yes.  Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in many areas of health care. Areas such as postoperative nausea, chemotherapy side effects, osteoarthritis, low-back pain, headache, menstrual cramps, addiction, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma, just to name a few.  The study revealed that acupuncture was able to provide pain relief, improve function and mobility of joints due to arthritis inflammation, and served to complement standard care. Although there are many who would doubt the effectiveness of acupuncture, once they are a patient, they are believers. 

It has been proposed that acupuncture works and produces its effects through regulating the nervous system.  The theory proposes that since acupuncture produces its effect through regulation of the nervous system, it induces the release of endorphins and immune system cells at specific sites on the body. There is also the theory that acupuncture alters the brain chemistry by the changing the neurotransmitters in the brain. Without doubt acupuncture was a benefit in the study.

For those of you that are not comfortable in the use of needles there is now a needle less  acupuncture method. Due to the advancement of technology, a new form of acupuncture referred to as pulsed magnetic therapy is available. This form of alternative medicine treats the body in the same way as acupuncture by providing electrical stimulation along the meridian pathways. In contrast to inserting needles underneath the skin at a treatment point, a pulsed magnetic health treatment device transmits harmonized magnetic pulses that cause an electrical current flow within the cells. This form of needless acupuncture provides the same benefit as traditional acupuncture but has many more conveniences.  

Although acupuncture is classified as an alternative medicine therapy, and there is still much to be understood about the way it works, it is a proven aid in maintaining optimal health. But what about the well individual, can acupuncture provide a benefit to them?  Absolutely. Because acupuncture works with the belief that we must maintain balance of our vital energy flow in order to remain healthy, acupuncture serves as the tool for maintaining the proper balance of the yin and yang state. Our vital energy flow can be out of balance, and we still feel and appear quite healthy.  It is in this capacity that acupuncture serves as a sort of preventive medicine.  Checking and balancing the flow of energy on the meridian points in your body is like your car receiving a preventive maintenance before it is in need of a repair.

A fundamental difference between alternative medicine (acupuncture, herbs, yoga, magnetic health therapy, etc.) and Western medicine (drugs, surgery) is how practitioners view and treat disease or illness.  In alternative medicine, disease is seen as something to be avoided. In Western medicine, disease is seen as something we wait for, then attempt to cure.

Undoubtedly you have heard of the term “wellness.”  It has two contexts, one as used in alternative medicine and one as used in Western medicine. In the alternative medicine world, wellness means taking care of yourself to prevent disease or illness before it starts.  I.E. treat yourself with natural methods to avoid cancer, heart disease, stroke, mental illness, etc. We can do this by eating proper foods, supplementing our diet with natural nutrients, herbs and vitamins, exercising, and changing our energy fields.
 
In Western medicine, the term wellness means “early detection” then treatment of the disease or illness. In other words, we wait until we become ill, then we rush faithfully off to the doctor to “beat the disease.” If you walk into a “Wellness Center” in a hospital or health clinic, you’ll see mammogram screening rooms, MRI machines and other tools to scan for the existence of disease. Is that wellness? No, it’s detection. Wellness is about staying healthy, it is about preventing disease or illness before it starts. 

Western medicine treats the “pre-detection” of illness as a glorious accomplishment. It makes everyone feel good that the disease was detected before it was too late. Oh lucky you, now all you have to do is survive the effects of drugs, infection, and mistake prone medical staff to survive. Why put yourself through that?   

It really is possible to live a healthy and long life free of disease and illness so long as you practice alternative medicine wellness. Don’t wait to become ill, take control of your health now. If you need help, advice, or more information just search the internet. There is an abundant amount of information and of course many natural health related products available to aid you in keeping yourself healthy and out of the doctor’s office.

The world is engulfed by magnetic fields, some are generated by the earth’s magnetism, while others are generated by solar storms and electrical devices such as motors, televisions, office equipment, computers, microwave ovens, the electrical wiring in homes, and the power lines that supply them.  Even the human body produces subtle magnetic fields that are generated by the chemical reactions within the cells and the ionic currents of the nervous system.

Recently, scientists have discovered that external magnetic fields can affect the body’s functioning in both positive and negative ways, and this observation has led to the development of magnetic field therapy.

What Is Magnetic Field Therapy?

The use of magnets and electrical devices to generate controlled magnetic fields has many medical applications, and has proven to be one of the most effective means for diagnosing human illness and disease.  For example, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is replacing x-ray diagnosis because it is safer and more accurate, and magnetoencephalography is now replacing electroencephalograph as the preferred technique for recording the brain’s electrical activity. It has been noted that positive and negative magnetic polarities have different effects upon the biological systems of animals and humans.  Studies have found that magnets could be used to arrest and kill cancer cells in animals, and could also be used in the treatment of arthritis, glaucoma, infertility, and diseases related to aging.  It was concluded that negative magnetic fields have a beneficial effect on living organisms, whereas positive magnetic fields have a stressful effect.

Robert Becker, M.D., and orthopedic surgeon and author of numerous scientific articles and books, found that weak electric currents promote the healing of broken bones.  Dr. Becker also brought national attention to the fact that electromagnetic interference from power lines and home appliances can pose a serious problem to human health.  “The scientific evidence,” writes Dr. Becker, “leads only to one conclusion: the exposure of living organisms to abnormal electromagnetic fields results in significant abnormalities in physiology and function”.

According to Wolfgang Ludwig, Sc.D.,Ph.D., Director of the Institute for Biophysics in Horb, Germany, “Magnetic field therapy has been used effectively in the treatment of:

Cancer
Rheumatoid disease
Infections and inflammations
Headaches and migraines
Insomnia and sleep disorders
Circulatory problems
Fractures and pain
Environmental stress

Dr. Ludwig ads that magnetic changes in the environment can affect the electromagnetic balance of the human organism and contribute to disease.  Kyoichi Nakagawa, M.D., Director of the Isuzu Hospital in Tokyo, Japan believes that the time people spend in buildings and cars reduces their exposure to the natural geomagnetic fields of the earth, and may also interfere with health.  He calls this condition magnetic field deficiency syndrome, which can cause headaches, dizziness, muscle stiffness, chest pain, insomnia, constipation, and general fatigue.  Researchers suggest that magnetic therapy can be used to counter the effects by the electromagnetic pollution in the environment.

Immune Sentry, LLC produces a handheld personalized Pulsed Magnetic Therapy device that can naturally counter act the effects of magnetic field deficiency syndrome. For more information go to www.immunesentry.com.
