Information about Magnets and Magnetic Fields For years, DNR, Inc. and Diamondhead Laboratories, Inc. have been researching the effects of electromagnetic and magnetic fields on the human body. The consensus among most of the scientific community is that electrical fields are probably harmless, but that certain man-made magnetic fields are the fields that are potentially dangerous. It is the man-made magnetic fields emanating from electrical power lines that are linked to cancer among the electrical workers and tied to leukemia in small children. Even smaller emissions from radar guns have been shown to be most likely responsible for the rise in cancer rates among the police officers using them. There are many things all of us come in casual contact with daily in our homes and the workplace that are magnetically harmful to the body. Even when turned off, the microwave oven leaks enough magnetic fields to negatively affect the body.
Recently, a lady wrote the nationally syndicated columnist, Heloise, about how a magnet in her husband's pocket for several days zapped and erased the magnetically imprinted information on his gasoline credit card. Heloise responded that this frequently happens with small magnets or even magnetic objects like a purse or money clasp. Government Laboratory tests have shown that when the effectiveness of the drug tamoxifin can be altered when placed as little as a 12 milligauss magnetic field. This could have a major impact on all prescription drugs that are stored on or in the refrigerator where magnetic fields are much higher than 12 milligauss. [The term gauss or milligauss is used in describing the strength of a magnet or magnetic field.] Those same laboratory tests demonstrated that a 12 milligauss magnetic field held close to the body would suppress the pineal gland's production of melatonin, the hormone used for sleeping, fighting cancer and supporting the immune system. Dr. Carl Blackman, a biophysicist with the Environmental Protection Agency, has confirmed the findings that magnetic fields can suppress the action of melatonin, and is now examining the ability of low-level magnetic fields that affect the action of tamoxifen and other drugs and medicines. In other experiments, he discovers that electromagnetic fields can affect the development of nerve cells when concentrations of nerve growth factors are too low. If a 12 milligauss (12/1,000 of a gauss) magnet or magnetic field can alter the seratonin and melatonin levels in your body, envision what an often used 1,000 gauss magnet or multiple 1,000 gauss magnets in a pad or mattress could do to your entire body! The list of potentially hazardous appliances and equipment continues to grow. Television and computer screens are safer than ever, but still present certain risks. Robert Becker, M.D., a leading scientist in the field of magnetic field research, and other researchers agree that continued close contact to magnetic fields in access of 2 milligauss is potentially harmful and hazardous. The earth's magnetic field of 534 milligauss is a natural field the body has related to since before birth. It seems the man-made magnetic fields or certain fields moving as communication waves through the environment are the fields most likely to cause harm to the body's sensitive nervous system, endocrine system, immune system and other functioning mechanisms of the body. It only takes a small amount of magnetic intrusion to create hormonal imbalance. The endocrine system is especially sensitive to outside magnetic fields. While males have the same basic concerns as females, the female endocrine system is so sensitive that the slightest magnetic change can cause hormonal imbalance that leads to emotional and physical changes. There seems to be a relentless movement in our country today promoting the use of magnets to rid the body of pain to the curing of diseases or illnesses. Using certain very low strength magnets for very short periods can be acceptable when using the correct side of a magnet on the right location for the right amount of time. But, most magnets being sold and used today are not being placed on the body by professionals. They know the consequences of using magnets that are too strong. They also know the consequences of using the wrong polar side of the magnet - to the correct physical location where the magnet should be applied, and more importantly, for how long.
Let's look at why magnetic use may be irreversibly harmful to the human body. First, the maximum ambient magnetic field the body's system can safely handle is 2 milligauss. A one (1) gauss magnet would be 500 times more powerful than the 2 milligauss the body can safely handle. The average small magnet used in magnetic mattresses and other pads for bodily areas is 400 or 1,000 gauss. A 1,000 gauss magnet is 500,000 times more powerful than the safe ambient field the body can safely handle. It is 2,000 times more powerful than the earth's natural magnetic field. So where does all this take us? Well, a good starting place is - why do magnets seem to do a good or fast job in dispelling pain? The answer to this question comes in first looking at the nervous system. This is the system that alerts the body there is something wrong through sensations of "pain." Pain is the early warning system the body uses to alert us of the presence of imbalance or some systemic cause for the pain. The nervous system is a micro-sensitive electrical system that seems to begin malfunctioning when a magnetic field of more than 2 milligauss overwhelms its functioning operation. As stated earlier, the nerves carry pain signals to the brain to alert it that something is wrong somewhere in the body. The body depends on its inherent ability to transmit vital signals to specific areas designated to receive them. By placing a stronger magnetic force than the nervous system can handle on the location of pain or anywhere near the nervous system, the whole system can be overpowered and literally shut down the signaling capabilities of the sensory nerve complex. Remember, any higher force of energy can overpower any lesser force of energy and render it ineffective and benign! It is believed the only reason governmental intervention in the indiscriminate sales, claims and usage of magnets is likely tied to the dilemma of how would they attack the magnet industry without dealing with the harmful magnetic fields produced by government and industry that pervade the entire planet. We have said all this to simply say the following: All of DNR energy activated products have been made to perfectly match the body's entire electrical system. Only subtle energy fields the body recognizes as natural and harmless are found in each and every product used to balance the entire body and all its systems. It is when the body is in balance that it can safely and effectively deal with discomfort and illness. Information about Magnets and Magnetic Fields |
