CONTINUED FROM PAGE "MAGNETIC INFORMATION"
I use magnetic products for a variety of ailments. Because I see people in the setting
of a medical office, there is an expectation that any treatment is recommended after
a working diagnosis is made. In other words, I listen to and examine my patients and
get appropriate lab information and x-rays first. Once the data is collected and
considered and a working diagnosis made, I then organized a discussion on
treatment options. For the person complaining of fatigue, I treat anemia with iron
and vitamins, not a magnet. For a person with achy legs and low potassium, I treat
with potassium, not a magnet. Yet there are times when iron, potassium, aspirin, or
a narcotic pain pill are not the appropriate remedies, or are not enough. In these
cases, I encourage my patients to try a magnet. Let me share some success stories.
Cancer: Dr. F was diagnosed with cancer at age 41. After three months of
chemotherapy, he decided that because the track record for chemotherapy was
poor, it would be crazy to not add other modalities to his own treatment. Since his
oncologist was concerned with chemotherapy dosing, and didn't know about other
treatments, Dr. F on his own added Magnetic Field Therapy, via a mattress pad,
chair pads in the office and home, and a large magnet worn against the lower spine.
(Dr. F added other "modalities" over the next few months.) He experienced fewer
negative side effects of chemotherapy, to the surprise of his oncologist. He lived,
and still lives to tell about it, I am happy to say, because Dr. F is me!
Arthritis: I remember Mrs. R whose knee joint had no cartilage. No medicine
prescribed by me or other doctors had helped her. I taped a small magnet to her
knee after a physical exam, and left the room while she got dressed. When I came
back to minutes later, she was bending her knee in disbelief; it didn't hurt. The
arthritis wasn't gone, but the severe pain was.
Fractured rib: Mr. E had fallen and broken a rib; his oncologist had given him
Percocet for pain. He came in to see me, saying the rib still hurt and the drug made
him feel bad. I advised him to place a magnet where the pain was causing him
discomfort. He later told me the diminishment pain was "instantaneous." The rib still
broken, but he was able to discontinue the Percocet. When he broke another rib two
months later, he used a magnet first.
Brown recluse spider bite: Mr. W was bitten by a brown recluse spider. He had a
one inch ulcer on his lower leg that was not healing. It hurt, too. We taped a magnet
over the ulcer. The pain was less and it began to heal up quickly. The magnet, while
he used it decreased the pain.
Swollen eye: A boy had been hit in the face by a baseball. His eyelids were swollen.
He had already used ice. I gave him a mini magnet and told him to use it where the
sting occured. The swelling was gone the next day. I was surprised.
Shoulder pain: Dr. Q was experiencing a nagging pain in her shoulder for more than
three months. She attended the lecture on Magnetic Field Therapy. During this event
she held a magnet to her shoulder. The next morning, her shoulder was normal and
the pain was gone. My own theory is she used the magnet on her own. (At that same
meeting, another doctor used a magnet on a painful knee, which had been through
many drugs and physical therapy. The next day, she came to my office for a second
magnet, because it was helping her so much.)
Tiredness: When all the tests are normal, doctors often diagnose depression for
tired people. Some respond to antidepressant treatment. For Ms. E, magnetic shoe
inserts worked. She even returned to her karate class.
As a physician I prefer to understand as fully as possible the workings and
applications of Magnetic Field Therapy. I study this in my own practice. I tell my
patients about magnets, and I show them the Magnetic Field Therapy Handbook as
a guide to usage. I have not had anyone say, "No thanks, I would rather suffer." I am
grateful to have Magnetic Field Therapy as a positive intervention for helping the
patients in my medical practice.
