Why use magnets?

• Magnetic therapy has been proven scientifically to be a natural therapy to alleviate discomfort and helps or assist the body to maintain an electromagnetic balance naturally.
• Its uses has been proven to be safe and effective in the majority of cases.
• It is an economical alternative therapy.
• It has been used in history for over 2000 years, and although it is old its future brings us great expectation for the use of magnets as a heating agent.
• We live and work in buildings were access to natural magnetic fields is limited,even in cars, electric trains, ships and planes.
• Damaging force fields bombard us almost constantly as we go about our lives in this modern age. These force fields come from household electricity, televisions, computers, cellular phones and electric blankets, just to name a few. They are damaging because they disrupt the structure of our cells which puts extra stress on the body to restore them or adapt to them. Force fields from properly designed therapeutic magnets assist the body in repairing this damage; thus reversing the effect of the damaging force fields.

What is Gauss?

Magnetic strength is measured in Gauss. For example earth magnetic field is about .5gauss. Magnets used for therapy should be from 500 gauss to 3,500gauss. It depends on its size, shape and weight.

Advantages of using Magnets

Research suggest that using magnets will:

• Alleviate pain
• Reduce inflammations
• Increases blood circulation
• Prevent or control infections
• Promote healing processes
  

How long should I wear them?

Follow the instructions given on the packages, but it can be a personal decision. Some only use them while in pain and reapply when the pain returns. You can wear them continuously. Use them short term if you want to alleviate pain and accelerate the heating process, however if you can improve your health and well being if you use them for a lifetime.

How fast can I expect results?

Results vary from person to person and can range from few minutes to few weeks. Sometimes it can be so little that you will only notice it when you remove the magnet.

How safe are these products?

Magnets are natural products of the earth elements. JSMS uses all north products with a gauss measurement appropriate to living tissue. For other purposes just be sure you use the correct polarity. Besides all research indicate them to be one of the safest forms of alternative therapy available. The World Health Organization (WHO) published this in 1987.

How long will they last?

With appropriate care the magnetic element of the products will last a lifetime. They will loose strength if exposed to heat over 250F. The products material will endure its normal wear.

When are they contraindicated?

Do not use if you have a pacemaker or defibrillator. Do not use a magnetic therapy product if you are pregnant or lactating without first seeking advice from your physician. Do not use magnets on the abdomen during pregnancy. Do not use a magnetic bed for more than 10 hours. Do not use magnets on the abdomen within 60 minutes of meals. Do not use magnets if you have a form of cancer without first seeking professional guidance. Be aware that magnets can interfere with the functioning of items in your environment. Keep a 6inch from: music tapes, videotapes, computer software, credit and bank cards with magnetic strips. Keep a 5 to 6 foot distance from CRT screens, color televisions. Do not take the ceramic magnets onboard aircraft. Some watches may not keep accurate time in the presence of a magnetic field.

Therapeutic Types of Pillows

1.   Accommodate/Displacement Pillows:  Helps relieve pain or discomfort by conforming to and stabilizing an existing condition. Relieves pain or discomfort by conforming to and stabilizing a new or existing injury or condition. Provides comfort, but does little to correct the condition. Typically for short-term use.  When a neck injury or condition is acute (serious or to an intense degree, like whiplash or a significant sprain or strain), the healthcare provider’s goal is to relieve a patient's pain and discomfort before beginning treatment. What's needed is to stabilize and accommodate the condition before moving forward. The same is true for other neck injuries or at the onset of many common problems which affect the head and neck.  Accommodation/Displacement pillows work well at this stage because they conform to the condition and provide immediate comfort.
Examples:  Chiroflow; Magnetic Memory Foam Pillow; Dreamzzzz Pillow
2.  Orthopedic Support Pillows:  Support pillows are designed to help a. correct  and  b. maintain  proper cervical posture/alignment while sleeping by providing the right amount of resistive feedback into the cervical & upper thoracic musculature.

A.  Correct:  Helps eliminate symptoms by treating the cause of the condition.  Helps correct the cause of pain, supports treatment to regain proper function. At this stage, orthopedic pillows are often prescribed to assist in correcting the diagnosed condition and to help the patient regain proper function. Allows tissue to heal functionally. Prepares for the maintenance stage. Corrective pillows can help alleviate headaches; neck muscle and joint strains, arthritis and whiplash discomfort and help restore proper nerve function. Supportive pillows are used in this stage of care.
B.  Maintain:  Ensures continued good health by helping sustain the body in its proper, natural posture.  Complements care to help prevent recurrence/progression. Pillows selected for the Maintain Stage should ensure continued good health by providing proper positioning and helping preserve the natural curvature of the neck and spine. For ideal maintenance, the pillow should provide maximum support and comfort. In fact, most people discover that once the normal curvature of the neck is restored, they crave the comfort of maximum support - the reason supportive pillows have grown more popular. Supportive pillows are used in this stage of care.

Examples:  Tri-Core Standard; Tri-Core Gentle; Double Core & Double Core Select Pillows:Cerv-Align

Special Note: Support type pillows are orthotic devices (like a custom orthotic in your shoe) and therefore may take time to get accustomed to.  Healthcare providers should give patients proper education regarding the time needed for training the musculature in accepting the pillow.  Although some people can react positively to this type of pillow immediately, others may take up to 2 weeks of gradual increased use through the night.  Patient should use pillow to waking tolerance and then switch to previous pillow for the rest of the night.  Each successive night, patient should increase time support pillow is used through the night.

3.  Combination Pillows: Combination pillows have a quality or an adjustability that allows the healthcare provider and the user to use the pillow though treatment.  The pillow has properties that give an accommodative/displacement function and a supportive function.
Examples: Cervalign; Chiroflow; Magnetic Memory Contour

What if I have Cancer?

You can only use the North pole of the magnet depending on the type of cancer, localization and size.  Refer to the section on Cancer ahead in the book.  Also in 1991 the “Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine” published a study and the results were that magnets can reduce the unpleasant side effects of chemotherapy or radiation; 65% of the subjects no longer experienced nausea and vomiting after wearing magnets: 25% had minor side effects and just 10% experienced no change.  They wore a magnet on an acupuncture point, Neiguan, in the middle inner lower arm near the wrist.  Just be sure the one you wear has North Pole –negative polarity magnets.  We have found that applying the north pole of the N-1 magnet on the abdomen while receiving the therapy diminishes the GI side effects.  And when not in use, place them between your mattresses and/or polarize the water to drink.

Can children wear magnets?

Well, of course!  I began at six years old for an earache.  Dr. Sierra applied them on my lower abdomen for menstrual pain, never to suffer from that.  I recommend them to every girl.  Our children started with their first earache or throat infections. They even received polarized magnetic water during gestation, which is the water that I drink, therefore they have continued the tradition, it is beneficial plus it tastes wonderful. The magnets for sports injuries accelerate the natural healing ability of the body. Nowadays for staying ‘charged’ they wear the jewelry. Also parents experience their children with less anxiety.  However, I do not agree for a healthy child to sleep on a magnetic bed every night.  Only if they had a neurological deficit- it will be so beneficial!  As a parent I understand how difficult it is to deal with current medical alternatives; medications, excessive antibiotics and immunizations.   Be assured using magnets will not cause any side effects. Evaluate your child’s condition and apply accordingly.  Also complement with a healthy diet, chiropractic adjustments and nutritional supplements for any vitamin or mineral lacking from their diet.  You will see your children grow into healthy adults.

WHY USE BIOMAGNETIC JEWELRY?

WHY USE BIOMAGNETIC JEWELRY?
By: Dr. Irma I. Sierra

Besides being such a beautiful jewelry, wearing magnets in bracelets, rings, earrings, and/or necklaces, they provide a constant magnetic field, which strengthens our body and polarizes the blood that travels throughout our body. As Dr. Ralph U. Sierra used to say:

We live surrounded by the earth magnetic field. We all know that the earth is a gigantic magnet that is constantly irradiating its magnetic power to every object, persons, animals or plants. Even the ocean waves are under the magnetic influence.

The human body consists of billions of cells. These cells are composed of molecules, the molecules of atoms and the atoms are composed of protons (+), electrons (-), neutrons and subatomic particles. They have a positive, negative and neutral charge and act as an electrical unit, a battery and therefore they have a magnetic field. Every human body discharges static electricity. The quantity varies in each case. For example you can notice the static when you comb your hair and we can even serve as an antennae to get better signals.

Because every day we are in less contact with nature we should wear something magnetic. If you work inside with air conditioners, computer systems, cellular phones, electrical appliances, or if you live in a building or surrounded by buildings, less parks or nature, or if you are driving or traveling often, cars, plains or trains, you should wear something magnetic.

By wearing a constant artificial magnetic field in form of jewelry in your body, The invisible energy will polarize your blood. When this occurs it will improve your circulation and you will feel stronger, with energy. It also reduces the tension of your body because all the normal functions of your body will occur with less work.

Every injury and maybe all diseases, even being tired, are influenced by electromagnetic fields, natural or artificial. The funny thing is that we cannot exist without a magnetic field!

So if you are lacking the natural magnetic field of the earth or will like to re-enforce your energy, you should wear Biomagnetic Jewelry. We invite you to browse our extensive variety, from bracelets, anklets, necklaces, rings and /or earrings.

WHAT’S IN LIFESTRENGTH?

We are the exclusive developers of the process known as ION HEALTH technology. There are two primary factors that contributed to the development of this technique:
1 - CUTTING EDGE RESEARCH
Exhaustive research resulted in the discovery that a proprietary combination of minerals in a very specific ratio produces a negative ions. These minerals are infused into our products & generate more anions than any other anion products on the market.
2 - UNMATCHED MANUFACTURING PROCESS
We then developed an innovative manufacturing methodology that allowed us to incorporate the mineral mix into our ion bracelets without compromising their life enhancing benefits.
3 - MEASURABLE RESULTS
As a result, LIFESTRENGTH™ wristbands may be worn in virtually any climate and under any conditions. We have engineered them to withstand the harshest of the elements. They are so durable and sustainable that we offer a lifetime warranty on all of our products.

Waveshields and EMF Protection

The vast majority of electromagnetic (EMF) radiation emitted by cellular and cordless phones comes from the antenna and parts of the phone other than the ear piece. Wave shield products have no effect on this electromagnetic energy.
They may reduce the strength of electromagnetic-field emissions from  cell phone ear pieces by as much as 50-99% depending on the cell phone model.

How was the Wave shield tested?
The Waveshield products were tested by a U.S. government FCC listed lab on several phone models with the following results. Waveshield series 1000 for cell phones and series 3000 for cordless phones block up to 97% of the radiation from entering the inner ear - most of the reports of tumors related to cell phone use have been found behind the ear, the area with the highest level of radiation in the body. Thus, testing was only on radiation entering the inner ear.

What is E.M.R.?
E.M.R. refers to Electromagnetic Radio-frequency Radiation which is the potentially dangerous frequency emitted by cellular or mobile phones. High frequency ionizing forms of radiation exists as X-rays, Gamma rays and forms of nuclear radiation known to be hazardous . Non-ionizing radiation of lower frequency ionizing forms such as early cell phones were thought to be safe. That view has changed since cell phones and mobile phones have grown in strength from low-level radio waves to high-level microwaves. No scientific study has proven conclusively that the use of cellular phones is hazardous to human health, yet continued use of higher frequency phones could adversely affect the central nervous system, diminish the effectiveness of the immune system and facilitate the development of cancer according to scientific research. Perhaps this is why governments and health organizations worldwide are spending millions of dollars towards on-going research to determine the long term effects of exposure to E.M.R from cellular and mobile phones.

What is S.A.R.?
S.A.R. or Specific Absorption Rate of Radiation is used to measure the amount of radiation that the human body absorbs from any source, including cellular phones. The F.C.C. (Federal Communications Commission) sets limits as to what they deemed were safe levels of radiation from cell phones. In the beginning when analog phones were 800-900 MHZ of power, most of the cell phones manufactured met these safe guidelines. However as manufacturers raised the power of their phones up to 1800-2000MHZ and analog was replaced by digital, the majority of the cell phones now exceed the safe levels set by the F.C.C. In fact the manufacturers continue to lobby to have the levels raised, so they may keep increasing the power of the phones. The highest S. A. R. in the body is in the ear, thus the concern about excessive cell phone use and the strength of the signal.

How is S.A.R. measured on a cellular phone?
When a call is made or received there is a band of radiation from the antenna, half of which disappears into space. The remaining radiation is around the skull, face and ear area of the user and runs through the circuitry of the phone when transmitting the call. A dummy head is immersed in a gel-like solution similar to body fluid and a cell phone is attached to the ear. Readings are taken from the antenna to determine the S.A.R. strength which will vary from phone to phone and proximity to the closest signal tower.

What is the difference between a Radio Wave and a Microwave?
Radio Waves are low levels of transmission power for signals to and from your phone. These non-ionizing frequencies of radiation are safe. However as signal strength grows from a few hundred MHZ of power to beyond 800 MHZ, the electromagnetic spectrum increases and these waves become microwaves. For example, the older mobile house and office phones were a few hundred MHZ of radio waves but the farther you moved from the base, the weaker the signal became and you would lose the call or it would break up. Now mobile phones are 900MHZ to 2.4GIGS or more of power so you do not lose the calls as you travel from room to room or go outside, but your phone is now into Microwaves/infrared waves of radiating power.

About Professional Botanicals

Professional Botanicals is one of the leading manufacturers of herbal formulas, nutraceuticals, vitaminsand minerals to health care practitioners in the United States.Professional Botanicals was founded 30 years ago through the personal vision of Chuck Millet, fueled by
his wife’s ill-health and subsequent recovery with the aid of nutritional and herbal formulas. He gathered agroup of doctors dedicated to creating formulas of a superior quality for use by Health Care Practitioners.Their sole mission was to provide the best researchedproducts available to support the quest foroptimum health and genetic potential through nutrition. In 1980, the research was primarily outside theUnited States and required “knowing the right people to access this research.” Having those connectionsand accessing this research took over a year before the first product was available on the market. The
result is a line of products which is specialized, yet extremelycomprehensive, encompassing ancientChinese formulas combined with scientific research and nutraceuticals. They were also responsible for
the innovative Enzyme Delivery System, EDS™, which adds a proprietary blend of enzymes to almost allof their products to address the issue of bio-availability (the ability to be absorbed by the body). Thisproprietary blend has harnessed the power of enzymes to improve the body’s absorptionof vitamins and key ingredients.In spite of there being little or no marketing, the word about Professionals Botanicals products has quietlyspread and they have been used successfully by Health Care Practitioners all over the US since theeighties. Now under the management of his son Dr Allan Millet and Naturally Botanicals, this hidden gemof a product line is being brought into the mainstream and made more widely available in order that manymore people can benefit from this amazing line of formulas.
Their constant research and refining of products continues to meet the changing needs of today’sconsumers and health concerns, such as rising stress levels, obesity, heart disease, etc. Potential new
products and materials are critically evaluated, initially being assessed by independent research findingsand then through an intensive in-house development program. Finally the products are further evaluatedin an independent clinical setting.
