Magnets have been in use for thousands of years. The earth has a natural magnetic field and as humans we require this magnetic field to function normally. These magnetic fields make it easier for your body to do what it does and also helps your cells to work more efficiently.

Magnets have been used over the years to treat general fatigue, pain, to heal broken bones more quickly, and to help circulatory problems. This natural energy helps to release endorphins into our blood stream, which helps to

The Space Program (NASA) used rats in many experiments in space and the rats that were not fitted with a magnetic field perished, and those that were, survived.

In recent years research has been done to see if the use of magnets can be beneficial to our pets. The answer, of course, is an astounding yes. Magnetic pet therapy is making use of one of the universe s most natural force. It is non-invasive, does not have any side effects, is easy to use, offers pain relief and is relatively inexpensive.

In 1976 Dr. Kyoichi Nakagawa, the founder of modern day magnetic health research, published in the Japan Medical Journal, an article claiming that the

How does a magnet work and what is it made of?

Magnets are made of a combination of materials such as iron, cobalt, nickel, ceramic, aluminum and neodymium. They come in bars, strips and even beads. They are magnetized by placing

There are two types of permanent magnets, both of which are causing researchers and therapists to argue among themselves as to which is the best to use.

The unipolar magnet is made up of bars or beads and has the north pole on one side and the south pole on the other side. The north pole should be facing the body and the south pole away from the body (the magnets are marked accordingly) when in use.

The bipolar magnet, which is the newest one to be used, is made in long strips and cut to

There is also another magnetic field, which is gaining use in the equine field. It is pulsed electromagnetic field therapy systems (PEME). It is a battery powered, portable device that generates a pulsating electromagnetic field that is used to treat chronic leg and neck injuries in horses and to do maintenance therapy on musculoskeletal conditions on horses.

The strength of a magnet is measured by its gauss, a measurement of the density of magnetic lines of force.

Therapeutic magnets range from 200 to 3,000

Why should you use magnets on your pets?

Since magnets are so great in releasing the endorphins that relieve pain, magnets can be used for just about all degenerative pet diseases such as hip dysplasia, rheumatoid arthritis, vertebra disorders, sprains, lameness, tendonitis and more.

Dr. Michael Strazza wrote in the 1996 edition of the Journal of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association that the use of magnets in the bandages of dogs with simple fractures healed 40 to 50 percent faster. This allowed the dogs to be

Researchers have found through many studies that toxins in the body cause many degenerative diseases.

Where are our pets getting these toxins?

From the daily use of products found in our cupboards that we do not even think about.

Our pets spend most, if not all their time on the floor or in our yards.

What is it that we seem to be doing most of the time?

Cleaning and spraying. The chemicals in our cleaners, waxes, polishes and garden products are full of toxins.

We as adults absorb some of these toxins into our bodies,

Magnets can be used to treat pets with arthritis, back pain, after orthopedic surgery, to improve performance levels for dogs in agility programs, obedience programs and show dogs that have to hold a position for long periods of time.

Magnets can help in the recovery of extreme exercise by helping muscles to recover more

Magnets can be used to keep the musculoskeletal system healthy and in good working order. Consider magnets as preventive medicine

Magnets however, should not be used on fresh wounds, pregnant dogs, dogs with internal bleeding and certainly not on dogs with metal screws or metal plate implants.

I mentioned earlier that that there were no known side effects and that is true. However, when you first start using a magnet on your pet or yourself, there may be for a short period of time an adverse reaction. You or your pet may feel worse instead of better.

It is a type of detox as the magnetic fields are stirring up all those nasty toxins within the body. It is

The secret here is to stay with it, as within a few days you will see great improvement either in yourself or your pet.

Magnets can also be used in conjunction with other types of treatment such as acupuncture, herbs, massage and anything else where the main goal is to alleviate pain and discomfort.

Magnets are believed to accelerate the healing process by increasing the blood flow to the capillaries that bring nutrients and oxygen to the injured areas, remove toxins, help repair tissues and help reduce pain.

As with all things, do not self doctor your pet,

How do you keep your pet magnetized?

There are many products on the market for pets (dogs and cats.) Magnetic collars are one place to start, there are magnetic bed for pets, actual rug wraps you can wrap your pet up in, special wraps designed for shoulders, hips, knees, all designed to be flexible and made with adjustable Velcro closings. If all else fails you can hold your pet and hold the magnet in place for 10 to 20 minutes a day until the inflammation or pain subsides.

There is no excuse for you or your pet to remain in pain if a magnet can

Bipolar disease is caused, doctors believe today, by chemical imbalances in the brain or erratic thyroid hormone levels. The disorder also tends to run in families, though that doesn’t mean if Grandmother Ada was diagnosed with a mental disorder, that you will automatically develop the disease. Before

Millions of Americans have been diagnosed with bipolar disease, and lead relatively normal lives, and the majority of those also hold regular jobs ranging from corporate to blue-collar positions. When identified early enough, patients often respond well to medications and psychotherapy treatments that may range from mere consultations to one-on-one therapy to group therapy programs.

For others, bipolar disease can be devastating to both personal and professional lives, and some don’t respond to any medication treatments at all. For some sufferers, periods of depression, accompanied by periods of extreme happiness, often take their toll with failed

While most of us experience periods of the ‘blues’ or days when we seem to be walking on Cloud Nine, someone who suffers from bipolar disease will experience these moments in the extreme. Chronic repetition of these periods are exhausting to both the victim and close friends and family members, and may eventually lead to isolation and a lack of interest in participating in events or activities that used to bring pleasure.

Recognizing that all might not be well with someone is important. If you or someone you know is experiencing endless mood swings that range from severe depression to extreme states of elation, and then back again, it is important

Despite the availability of medications and psychotherapy methods to help people today who suffer from bipolar disease, the condition still maintains a stigma that prevents many people from seeking help. Unfortunately, many people suffering from the erratic mood swings produced by the condition are too embarrassed or humiliated by the thought of having a mental condition to seek help. Instead, they withdraw further and further from loved ones.

If you think that you or someone you know is suffering from this condition, talk to

Over the years, prolonged episodes of stress can cause the adrenals to become fatigued and are unable to regulate all the constituents of a healthy body. Sometimes the adrenals, in a weakened state, are referred to as insufficient, and as the progression of adrenal breakdown continues, it leads to adrenal burnout as termed by the late Dr. Paul Eck who researched adrenal function and tissue analysis for decades.
Adrenal Burnout is a very debilitating malady that can cause life-changing disruption. In severe cases the adrenal activity is so acutely diminished that people have difficulty getting out of bed for more than a few hours per day. In each increment

Prolonged stress keeps the body in a constant and heightened fight or flight’ state; if allowed to continue it would eventually compromise the adrenal function. The adrenals are the glands that sit near the top of each kidney. The inner part (the medulla) secretes hormones, including adrenaline and corticosteroid that control blood pressure, heart rate and sweating. They also act as chemical messengers; initiate immune responses; regulate blood sugar levels and produce much of the digestive juices used in breaking down

Symptoms of adrenal burnout can be weight gain, chronic infection especially respiratory problems such as influenza, bronchitis or pneumonia; impaired digestion, allergies, high blood pressure; high and low blood sugar levels, cravings for sweets; multiple chemical sensitivities, PMS; irritability and depression and even anxiety may occur.
The condition is also called adrenal hypofunction, exhaustion or insufficiency. Unlike fatigue, energy levels do not return after a good nights rest; it is a common misconception that the body

A disproportionate amount of stress can be an important cause of burnout which can be derived from many sources. Chemical toxicity and nutritional depletion are among the physical causes; Mental, emotional or spiritual stress can be a major factor and overwork, financial and family problems; noise in the cities and electromagnetic pollution; mobile phones, microwave towers and household or workplace appliances that emanate strong electrical fields.
Nutritional Deficiencies are also a common cause. When the body is under stress, there is a greater need for nutrients. Carbohydrates, when excessive in the diet, stress the adrenals. Diets low

Chronic infections can also purvey to the toxic load. For many, the elimination organs refrain from functioning at optimal levels; resulting in a build up of toxic substances within the body; leading to adrenal burnout and many other health conditions.
Many stimulants such as caffeine,

Unhealthy responses to stress such as worrying, becoming angry or afraid can induce a burnout. Particularly high strung, nervous individuals and those with very active minds are especially prone to adrenal burnout. Unfortunately, many with adrenal burnout function on anger and resentment. These act as adrenal stimulants, providing a negative

The condition can be classed as psychological as stress engenders the burnout which in turn affects the emotions and behaviour. But, burnout is biochemical as recovery involves improving emotions and dealing with psychological issues. However, it

Burnout can occur due to a single shock; traumas that occur together or a combination of factors. Whether it is derived from an illness, accident, divorce, overwork or other stress depends very much on one is ability to handle stress, rather than the absolute amount of stress. When the burnout manifests, vital minerals can become depleted and toxic substances replace and become part of the structure of enzymes, body organs and glands. Even after a change of diet, lifestyle, attitudes or behaviour, the toxins can remain.
Often, burnout

The accumulation of toxins that occurs as the body and the inability to eliminate them can contribute to burnout. Elimination is very important, however energy is required to release toxins. If the energy system is weak, just fasting or cleansing will not be enough. One must rebuild the entire energy system by balancing body chemistry and providing nutrients as well. A one-month or even six-month cleanse is nowhere near adequate. It can take a year just to replenish

Diet is an extremely important factor in the road to recovery. Protein should be eaten with every meal, eggs, natural meats and poultry are among the best sources; toasted almond butter, goat’s cheese and nuts are other alternatives. It is advised to avoid vegetarian

Food supplements are indispensable. Kelp granules and nutritional yeast are excellent as they are rich sources of nutrients and assist in detoxification. Other nutrients that are important for adrenal activity are vitamins A, B, C, E, pantothenic acid (B5);

Most illness comes from emotional or stressful conditions that we activate from within ourselves. This includes, of course, fear and anxiety. The job we have and the people we know or live with only serve to trigger specific feeling that you are sensitive to and this activates your fear, anxiety or stress. Anxiety and stress are a force that works on your body, organs or cells causing malfunction and deterioration. Stress creates acid that resides in your cells and in your lymph liquid that surrounds your cells.

An acid body breeds sickness such as cancer. Cancer thrives in an

Fear and anxiety come from suppressed traumatic memories or cellular memories, which are the cause of most diseases. What are suppressed traumatic memories and what

Well let first let me explain a little about how the body works. Under natural conditions, a cell moves in nutrients and releases toxic waste. In the cell it burns these nutrients to provide with you with energy, for repairing itself, splitting and creating new cells and performing all other functions that keep it and you healthy.

How a cell function is determined by the autonomic system. In this system, we have the para-sympathetic system and the sympathetic system. When your body is under the para-sympathetic mode, your cells and body are functioning normal and has a strong immune system to heal itself.

Under the sympathetic mode, your body is acting as if it is under attack

Body cells under the sympathetic mode are not functioning normal. Less blood is flowing in this area means less nutrients going into the cell and less toxic matter coming out of the cell. This is the condition that produces disease.

Now here is important information that brings all this together. Many people feel that they are under a condition of constant attack - feeling fear and anxiety - even though they really are not. In this feeling of attack they express

People are typically under the sympathetic mode in which they are in automatic fight or flight mode. They are not even conscious of this because this is normal for them. Well, this is the condition where disease is created. When disease sets in, the cells cannot heal this disease since its immune system is weak and its cellular strengthen is gone from lack of nutrients and a build up of toxic wastes in the cells.

Stress and anxiety creates disease and all though history, people have been told to have some sort of stress management program such as exercise, yoga, psychotherapy, drugs, laughing, or any movement program.

So work on your health and eat more alkaline foods and start on a stress reduction program.

It seems like everyday, there’s good news about what omega 3 fish oil can do for your brain. Research has shown that fish oil brain benefits begin in the womb and continue straight through life preventing Alzheimer’s and dementia in the elderly.

A baby’s brain is made up of about 70% omega 3 DHA and EPA fatty acids. These fatty acids are necessary for the optimum development of a baby’s intelligence, brain function and emotional well-being. They’re so vitally important that the U.S. National Institutes of Health recommends pregnant and lactating women supplement their diet with 1200 mg/day.

Recent studies, however, showed the average omega 3 intake of pregnant and nursing mothers

If baby isn’t getting the DHA and EPA it needs from mother’s diet, the fetus will take what it needs from the mother’s brain supply. During nine months of pregnancy, a mother could lose as much as 3% of her own brain mass from depleted DHA and EPA. Some scientists believe this could be a major cause of post-partum depression. Taking omega 3 supplements during pregnancy, is sounding like a very good idea.

And, if mother’s not eating fish, you better believe her adolescent and teenage children aren’t either. The resulting omega 3 deficiency has been linked

A recent British study reported that fish oi supplementation, however, helped reduce the symptoms of dyslexia, ADD and ADHD. The research team gave fish oil supplements for six months to children with behavioral problems, social difficulties and learning disabilities. The children tested six months higher in spelling and more than a year higher in reading skills.

Adults can also get a lot of brain benefits from eating fish a couple of times a week or taking daily fish oil supplements.

Dietary deficiencies of omega 3 DHA and EPA have been linked to a higher incidence of migraine headaches, depression and bipolar disorder. Eating more fish

Alzheimer’s disease now affects some 5 million Americans and that number is expected vastly increase over the next twenty years as the baby boomer generation begins to age. Fish oil can help here too.
Studies have shown that people who ate the most fish and had the highest DHA levels had 47% less dementia and 39% less Alzheimer’s.

Fish oil also helps prevent “brain attack” or stroke. A Harvard Medical School study of over 43,000 men over a period of 12 years reported that men who eat fish just once a month had a 44% less risk of ischemic

By the way, apparently what’s good for your brain is also good for your heart. Eating fish at least two or three times a week lowers blood pressure and triglycerides and prevents irregular heart beats.

Fish oil [http://www.omega-3.us]omega 3 fatty acids DHA and EPA also reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death, the number one killer in the U.S., by 45% or nearly half. That’s pretty good, don’t you think? Even the American Heart Association recommends that all healthy people eat fish twice a week or more.

So, you can see Grandma knew

Panic attacks are sudden episodes of intense fear, worry, and discomfort. The symptoms can be debilitating for many people. It is common for first time panic attack victims to be rushed to an emergency room believing they are having a heart attack or stroke. Studies show there are more than six million people in the United States who are prone to anxiety and panic attacks. They are sometimes isolated events tied to things such as phobias and trauma but may

The study suggests a link between panic attacks in older women and serious heart problems that may develop later on. Specifically, the women in the study who had reported a full-blown panic attack during a 6 month period had four times the risk for heart attack, three times the risk for heart attack or stroke, and twice the risk to die from other causes than women who didn t suffer from panic attacks.

The researchers took into account other risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, alcohol consumption, body mass index, inactivity, depression, and history of diabetes and still found that panic attacks raised

The study further concluded that panic attacks are relatively common among postmenopausal women and appear to be an independent risk factor for heart disease and death. If true, panic attacks can be added to a growing list of other mental health issues, such as depression, hostility, and anxiety, already linked by medical research to heart problems and cardiovascular disease. It has long been known that panic attacks and panic disorder are more prevalent in women than in men.

The study is hardly conclusive however. In fact, the sample of women tested was relatively small 3369

However, it is definitely an area of research for panic sufferers, especially women, to keep a close eye on. And most importantly, older women who experience panic attacks need to discuss this matter in detail with their doctor.
