Magnetic Therapy: Attracts Healing, Repels Pain

Part 1 of 2 | Read Part 2 of series

Human society has been in awe of the magnetic power of lodestones since the first telling of history. The rock’s near magical powers of attraction and repulsion have incited thousands of misconceptions about their force. The Greeks thought only a soul could demonstrate such a power, thus believed lodestones contained a spirit. During the 16th century it was thought a lodestone under the bed would drive away an unfaithful wife. In the late 19th century the belief was that a lodestone charm would bring back a vagrant husband.

Optimal Health Requires An Electrical Balance

Many of the products Promolife sells either enhance, or help to repair the body’s electrical system. Some of these items are TENS units and therapeutic magnets, but even the Bio Cleanse Ionic Foot Bath works with the body’s electrical system to perform its detoxification duties.

Our EMF neutralizers help to eliminate the harmful electrical stimulation the body is bombarded with on a daily basis through our home and work electrical systems.

The Magnetic Pulser uses a rapidly pulsing magnetic field to produce electrical microcurrents within cells which have been reported to neutralize difficult to remove pathogens.

Recently major news organizations have reported a new transcranial magnetic stimulation device being used by psychiatrists to help people overcome depression.

There are entire health professions, like acupuncture, which use the body’s electrical pathways, called meridians, to heal the individual.

Electricity Within The Brain

Electrical Stimulation Activates Endorphins

Electrical stimulation is nearly as old as written history. Some 4500 years ago various cultures in the Middle East and southern Europe used electric eels to treat pain. One can only imagine the tweaking the therapy underwent as an adult electric eel packs enough of a wallop to kill a horse. Fortunately, electrical stimulation has come a long way since the electric eel.

TENS ~ EMS

There are many different methods of electrical stimulation used which benefit the body. For purposes of this article, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) will be analyzed.

TENS Eases Pain Without Any Side Effects

The TENS is the most popular electrical stimulation unit sold. Primarily used to relieve pain, the TENS manipulates the nervous system to both ignore the pain and release the bodies natural pain killer, endorphins.

Strains, Sprains and Excruciating Back Pains

More often than not gravity is the back’s worst enemy. The low back area of the spine receives the brunt of damage from this downward force. Over time compression and ordinary wear and tear of the vertebrae and discs start to cause problems.

Eight out of ten Americans can expect to experience back pain during their life. The majority of problems occur because the back, stomach and buttock muscles become too weak to protect the spine from the jerks and bumps it receives.

Anatomy of the Back

Twenty-six bones make up the Spinal Column. There are seven in the Cervical (neck), twelve in the Thoracic (middle), five in the Lumbar (low), a sacrum and coccyx (tailbone). Of the 24 vertebrae the cervical and lumbar add the flexibility needed for ease of movement, but are also the most susceptible to injury. Along with the bones the back has 40 muscles, tendons which fasten the muscles to the vertebrae, and ligaments that hold the vertebrae together. There are 31 pairs of nerves attached to the Spinal Cord. The Spinal Cord is protected by a bony pathway created through the vertebrae.

Methods for Decreasing Physical Pain

Pain is the necessary evil the body perpetuates against itself, not to torture it, but to warn the brain an injury has occurred. And, it’s a darn good warning signal too. Who’s going to walk on a broken leg, or allow an open wound to bleed and bleed? Without pain many people would do just that. Pain protects the body from further damage. But, the problem with pain is it is perpetual. There is no turn off switch once the signal has been received. Hence, the demand for pain relief is something 1 out of 5 adult Americans need on a daily basis.
