Insomnia
By Rosemary Skinner SRN
Do you suffer from sleeping problems? There is nothing like a refreshing nights sleep to leave you feeling good and ready to take on the world. How often do we feel like that?
Insomnia is usually temporary and a common condition. Sufferers complain of inability to sleep even when tired, or of a light sleep in which they awake tired. Of the various types of insomnia Chronic Insomnia is indicated when a person has disturbed sleep for over three weeks. The following symptoms are usually present—A general feeling of extreme exhaustion, apathy and irritability during the day. Causes range from incorrect diet, drug side effects, medical conditions, anxiety and depression.
It is vital for our general well being that we have good nights sleep. After the stresses and strains of the day, our bodies need a chance to heal and repair. Lack of sleep can effect our concentration, coping with irritations and accomplishing routine tasks. Research has indicated the importance of sleep in the regulating of blood sugar and in maintaining normal blood pressure.
If you have difficulties sleeping at night avoid eating heavy meals less than four hours before retiring Reduce intake of caffeine, alcohol, smoking and other stimulants in the evening. Avoid eating processed foods and sugar. Lack of exercise can also contribute to insomnia.
To get good nights sleep it is very important to relax before going to bed. Try taking a bath; add a few drops of lavender or chamomile oil to the water. Meditation Yoga or relaxation tape can be beneficial. It is essential that if you suffer from insomnia you must relax and stop worrying about it.
Sleeping on a magnetic bed is a very effective method of inducing a restful nights sleep. If possible the head of the bed should be facing north. If this is not possible the North Pole of a magnet should be placed at the head of the bed. Alternatively the North Pole of a D-Max Neodymium Magnet can be placed to the crown of the head for ten minutes before retiring.
In addition 6ounces of bipolar Magnetised water may be taken morning and evening. For instructions on how to make Magnetised water see my book. Magnetic Therapy A Powerful Healing Force.

FEATURE
Positive Results From Pain Study - FIBROMYALGIA
by Sheena Needs
Millions of people throughout the world claim that magnet therapy helps relieve pain – and anecdotal evidence strongly indicates that this is indeed the case, which has turned it in to one of the most popular complementary therapies to come along in the last few years.
Although most of the claims are anecdotal, there is increasing interest from the scientific community. A recent study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine looked at the effect of magnet therapy on FIBROMYALGIA pain. Although the results of the study were inconclusive, magnet therapy reduced FIBROMYALGIA pain intensity enough in one group of study participants to be ‘clinically meaningful’, the researchers reported.
Ninety-four sufferers were divided in to four groups – half of which were in two control groups, one that received fake magnets and the other who continued with their usual treatment. The other two groups received active magnetic pads; one which provided whole body exposure to a uniform magnetic field, while the other group used a pad which exposed the subjects to a magnetic field that varied both spatially and in polarity.
The study tracked results over a six-month period. It was found that the two groups that slept on the pads with active magnets generally showed improvement in pain intensity level, the number of tender points on the body and functional status. The patients in the control group did not exhibit the same improvement.
Researchers were surprised by the positive results from this study and concluded that more research in to magnet therapy for pain is justified.

My Top Five Ways To Use Magnets For Well-being.
By Peter Rose
1. BACK PAIN
Top of the popularity list has to be for the relief of back pain. My book, the practical guide to magnet therapy, shows exactly where to place magnets for the best results but the effect of a double row of magnets either side of the spine and running down the length of the lumbar region, can be wonderful. I have seen people who were finding it difficult to stand up, being able to walk upstairs within hours of having magnets put in place.
Caution, ensure it is a muscular problem and not kidney infection, which also can cause lower back
pain.
2. CRAMP
Second in the chart of success, has to be the treatment of cramp. A circle of magnets around a limb, between the affected area and the heart, left in place for 5 days, can promote a noticeable reduction in the debilitating pain of cramp.
3. STIFF NECK
Third in the list is to free up and relieve the discomfort of stiff necks. Place a row of small magnets across the back of the shoulder running along the line of the top of the shoulder blade. Add a couple of magnets above this line, going upwards either side of the neck. These should be about 1 inch apart and about 2 inches from the centre line of the neck.
An alternative is to use a necklace made up of magnetic beads.
4. MIGRAINES
Fourth is for migraines. Migraines come in such a variety of severity and have too many causes to be able to give a definitive description, of how to use magnets, here but in many of the people I have seen it is common to have a tightening of the muscles between the shoulder blade and the spine before the migraine takes full effect. Placing magnets on the tight area or in a double row between the shoulder blade and the spine, will often reduce this muscular tension and reduce the severity of the migraine.
5. LOCALIZED PAIN RELIEF
Fifth in the list of most popular uses, of magnets, for the improving of well-being, is the localized use of magnets and bandages, or support wraps that contain magnets, to speed up the recovery from sports injuries. After first ensuring that there is no internal, or external, bleeding, the putting in place of small magnets or wrapping the affected area with magnetic bandages (wraps), will speed up recovery. When using wraps or bandages (wraps) make sure you give support but do not restrict the flow of blood.
Please remember magnets should not be used if you have a pacemaker or any other electro-mechanical device, fitted. Pain that persists or comes on without obvious cause, should be examined by a qualified medical practitioner.

YOUR LETTERS & FEEDBACK
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) - Samples of many letters over recent months !
"there has been messages about magnotherapy removing symptoms of primary progressive MS. Have you any such knowledge using any of your therapies. I have previously worn a magnet that was programmed for me specially but it did not help.
Any suggestions?.....USA
"I have your catalogue and other literature. But I wondered if amongst the many testimonials you have regarding the magnetic blankets there are any from people with Multiple Sclerosis? If you do have any could you please let me have a copy, and if possible an Email or telephone contact for them.".........UK
" I am wondering if there is certain magnets I should use for Progressive MS?.......UK
MS -The Condition.
Multiple Sclerosis or MS is the most common disabling neurological disorder of young adults, with women affected twice as often as men. It is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system. In the course of the disease, myelin (a white fatty substance that acts as an electrical insulator for the nerves) is progressively destroyed and the formation of hard scar tissue on the protective myelin sheath which surrounds nerves stops the nerve cells from working. The risk of MS varies for different geographic areas, and increases as one lives further north or south of the equator.
Although Magnetic Beds (Overlays) are the most recommended magnetic device for MS. Much has been written in the press recently about developments in the treatment of MS using Pulsating Magnetic and Electro-Magnetic devices. Dr R. Sandyk has published several papers on the subject.
This study reports on four cases of multiple sclerosis who experienced improvements in visuospatial and visuomotor functions following treatment with external application of low magnetic fields.
R. Sandyk, "Further Observations on the Effects of External Pico-Tesla Range Magnetic Fields on Visual Memory and Visuospatial Functions in Multiple Sclerosis, " International Journal of Neuroscience" - 77(3-4), August 1994, 203-27
This article reports on the case of a 50-year-old female chronic progressive multiple sclerosis patient who received a single external application of low magnetic fields who experienced significant improvements following the treatment.
R. Sandyk, "Successful Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis with Magnetic Fields
," International Journal Neuroscience" - 66 (3-4), October 1992, p. 237-250.
This article reports on the cases of three patients suffering from long-time symptoms of multiple sclerosis who received treatment with extra cerebral pulsed electromagnetic fields over a period of between 6 and 18 months. Results showed all three patients experienced significant improvements in cognitive functions.
R. Sandyk, "Progressive Cognitive Improvement in Multiple Sclerosis from Treatment with Electromagnetic Fields,
" International Journal of Neuroscience" - 89(1-2), January 1997, p. 39-51.
This is a report on the cases of two chronic multiple sclerosis patients exhibiting severe speech problems. Symptoms were completely resolved following 3-4 weeks of treatment with pulsed electromagnetic fields.
R. Sandyk, "Resolution of Dysarthria in Multiple Sclerosis Treatment with Weak Electromagnetic Fields,
" International Journal of Neuroscience, - 83(1-2), November 1995, p. 81-92.
This article reports on the cases of three multiple sclerosis patients suffering from alexia (lack of understanding of written words) who experienced a reversal of the alexia following the start of pico tesla-range electromagnetic field treatment.
R. Sandyk, "Reversal of Alexia in Multiple Sclerosis Weak Electromagnetic Fields,
" International Journal of Neuroscience" - 83(1-2), November 1995, p. 69-79.
MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The most recent development though, is from a company in Canada called Enermed www.enermed.com. This company has produced an pulsed electro-magnetic field generator which delivers a simple, non invasive therapy for the treatment of a number different conditions, MS being one of them. The initial results are very encouraging. However, the machine (at the moment) has to be programmed specially for each individual patient. This has to be done under qualified medical supervision. Enermed has open two clinics in Canada, one in Vancouver and the other one in Ontario. They has told us, that they are planning to open more clinics, and are looking at Europe in the future. This is not the best news for those who are suffering with MS now, but remember this is very new technology. We will continue to keep you informed of future developments and have included links to several interesting papers on the subject.
