MAGNETS AND BLOOD FLOW
by Peter Rose FSI

Do not use magnets where bleeding, internal or external, is still occurring. 
To heal severed capillaries and blood vessels the blood flow needs to be reduced and local blood flow restricted. Magnets will have the opposite effect. How to best use small fixed magnets to improve blood flow. Place the magnets in a circle around the area where an improvement is desirable. The magnets are best placed about 2 inches (5cm) apart around the limb and above the problem area (i.e.  Between the heart and the problem area) In circumstances away from a limb, e.g. the lower back, Placing magnets in a circle around a painful area improves the blood flow in the capillaries, this improves the conducting of nutrients to the injured site and removal of waste products away from it.

WHY MAGNETS GIVE BENEFIT 
Placing a series of magnets around a tube that carries "semi-viscous fluid"  improves the flow of that fluid.  So if magnets are placed at say 2 inch ( 4.5cm) spacing around an arm then the flow of blood within the arm is improved. The level of improvement is dependent on a combination of many factors, including the strength of the magnets the thickness of the arm the fat layer between the magnets and the blood vessels the viscosity of the blood and the blood pressure/flow rate combination. The effects of magnetic fields on blood flow still needs a great deal of research, as does many aspects of the interrelationship between humans and electromagnetic forces. 

ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCES
There is great controversy over the effects of high voltage electrical power transmission lines and the health of people living in close proximity to these. The transmission of alternating electrical energy along a wire creates a magnetic field.  All of us are subjected to invasion by forms of energy that are not natural to life. Radio waves, X rays, micro wave transmissions, TV transmissions, the list is long but all of these are energy forces that constantly invade our bodies. There are as many views on the effects of these as there are experts to give the views, but all are  relatively unnatural at the intensity and level we are now subjected to. The use of fixed (static) magnets may restore some balance and normality, it is even possible that use of magnets in the ways described in this book will assist the body to cope with the increased numbers of free radicals that out modern bodies are subjected to. Free radicals are the oxygen molecules that have an electron missing. This shows a connection with electromagnetic forces and so to magnetic forces. 

TWO FOLD BENEFIT USING MAGNETS
This all indicates the possibility that magnets may be used to improve both the flow and the quality of blood.  If this is the case then we get a two fold beneficial effect from placement of magnets around the site of injury. There is an other possibility of beneficial effect and that comes from the normalization or neutralization of localized abnormal and polluted electromagnetic forces.
