Foreword

Many years ago when I began to lecture, teach, and write for the general public about holistic healing, it became clear to me that there was still a great deal of room for development in the area of simple, effective healing methods. And indeed more and more people in need of help are reaching out to the proven healing techniques of the pastsuch as traditional herbal remedies and homeopathy, as well as acupressure from China and foot-reflexology.

And as we work with natural healing, we discover that the old tried-and-true methods are still effective today and less time consuming than many modern techniques.

In that spirit, and as the result of many years of work with Chinese healing methods, I am presenting in this book a method of healing that encompasses a variety of techniquessegment therapy, acupressure, and magnetism.

Extensive research has been done on magnet therapy in Japan as well as in the West. It has been shown to be extremely effective and a treatment of choice in many hospitals and clinics. Excellent work has been done in America by many scientists and medical professionals, among them Dr. A. Roy, Walter C. Rawles, Albert Roy Davis, and by Professor M. F. Barnothy. They have been able through extensive and repeated experimentsto prove that magnetic currents positively influence metabolism and support the formation of amino acids (the building blocks for protein) in cells.

In addition, experiments have shown that it is possible to reduce muscle pain due to poor blood circulation or over-exertion. Magnet therapy, therefore, is an effective and safe addition to many holistic treatment modalities and a valuable alternative to acupuncture.

A look at the history of medicine in civilization reveals that the magnet has been used for medical purposes throughout history in different cultures. In China it has been used for thousands of years.

Egyptian documents in hieroglyphics and cuneiform script reveal that magnet therapy was considered an indispensable part of that culture and a valued means of treating diseases. To this day

graphic descriptions on walls, columns, and in temples attest to its use. Vast archives containing records of treatments and cures were kept in the so-called "healing temples." Many ancient writers and poets cite examples of this type of treatment.

Plinus, the Roman historian talks about magnet therapy in the treatment of eye diseases, and the French physician Marcel used it to treat headaches. Islamic physician Ibn Sina, also known as Avi-cenna (980-1037), treated depression with magnet therapy. And, Paracelsus (14931541), whose understanding and intellectual genius reached far beyond his time, wrote: "The magnet is the king of all secrets." He used magnets to treat a wide variety of illnesses.

In recent years Dr. W. O. Stark and Dr. P. Kerdaniel analyzed several scientific reports dealing with magnet therapy, among them studies done at the University of Tokyo Medical School. They came up with surprising results: approximately eighty per cent of patients reacted positively to magnet therapy. I have found similar results in my own practice for many years.

This is why magnet therapy is of such special concern to me. In view of the scientific findings and the practical results I have witnessed, I think it is important to bring magnet therapy to the awareness of the interested lay publicparticularly to those seeking help.

It is my hope that this book will help to do that.

Introduction

While the origin of our solar system with its primeval creative power lies hidden in unknown dimensions of time and space, the all-encompassing soul of the universe is a force field that is holding together the entire visible cosmic structure. The mysterious force of this field rules the Universe, as well as the relation between the stars, the earth, and all the planets in its vicinity. Electromagnetic storms taking place about one hundred miles above our blue planet are the result of these energies, which, while invisible, are present in everything that we see.

We humans are exposed to this invisible power from the moment of birth. Every move we make is subject to it. It influences each atom in the human cell, each seed in the center of an apple.

Try to picture this gigantic force field! The human body, composed of five hundred trillion cells with their atoms and molecules, is an energy-laden entity! The forces that govern the body are in perpetual electromagnetic interaction with themselves and with the environment. The survival and well-being of humans, animals, and the plant world are all dependent on this force.

The complexity of the energy process that governs our metabolism surpasses understanding. But we do know that our sensory organs function on very little energy. There is simply no state of health or illness without the participation of the electromagnetic current in our cells.

The oxygen exchangethe primary source of energy that our organism needs in order to support all the vital processestakes place within the cells. The cell issimultaneouslymatter, energy and wave function. The ongoing electro-energetic process in our bodies has far-reaching significance.

Since every electromagnetic current is potentially a carrier of information it is also possible for bioenergetic intelligence to be transmitted from the environment to the organism. This exchange of information is also taking place within our bodiesa particularly significant point, because that has made possible our evolution from a single cell to homo sapiens.

MacrocosmMicrocosm

Over the last two centuries biochemists have made great strides in researching the structure of the cell. But the biological process should not be seen only in terms of its structure. Because to live means to function. Every organ, every cell is directly dependent on and connected with every other part of the body. The holographic system we call "human" has been provided by nature with everything necessary for survival in an ever-changing environment. Hy-pothetically speaking, one could see this interconnectedness as dependence on a larger system of which ours is only a part, which leads in the end to the whole of the Universe.

This train of thought undoubtedly is the basis for a statement that expresses a fundamental connection: "The universe controlling us is not only around us but within us, within the smallest building block of every cell." The microcosm is the mirror image of the macrocosm.

The Bioenergetic Reservoir of Energy

The human body is a microcosm within a macrocosm and every cell is the product of another cell. In the same way, every daughter cell is a microcosm of the organism in which the transformation from one form of energy to another is taking place; or, to be more specific, where food energy is transformed into biochemical energy. Nature has devised very specific enzymatic processes in order to convert food into substances that the body can use. It is a complex system requiring a controlled flow of electrons within the cell structure.
