LIVING WITH STRESS By Rosemary Skinner SRN.

Stress is regarded as being a healthy condition. If you do not have a certain level of stress, life would be very boring and unexciting. Stress can be useful when it awakens our creativity and demands our best. Or stress can be harmful if it demands more of us than we have to give. In this present day, with the pace of modern living, stress plays a very big part in breaking down the defense mechanisms in the body.

Continuous high levels of stress can contribute to heart disease, hypertension, strokes, anxiety, migraine, insomnia, obesity, impotence and whole host of other problems. Most illness is related to unrelieved stress

1.Do you smoke ? ....Why ?
2.Do you drink more than 5 units of alcohol per week?... Why?

Magnetic Device May Trigger End To Migraines.

A new device that sends a magnetic pulse into the brain is showing some early promise in controlling migraine headaches. Migraines affect about 3.2 million Canadians. Drugs are mainly ineffective. Sufferers have been known to wait in darkened rooms for days waiting for the symptoms to subside. "It's like having a lot of little men on top of your head hammering nails into your skull. That's how I equate it," said June Lynch, who used to suffer the attacks at least once per week.

Mood Disorders Respond To New Therapy.
Magnetic pulses affect brain. Fewer side effects than electroshock.

For 15 years Klaus Schmidt's life was in shambles. The 61-year-old St. Catharines man says he "lost everything" after he developed bipolar mood disorder. Despite trying several different medications and numerous rounds of electroshock therapy, nothing seemed to stabilize his wild and debilitating mood swings. At one point, he was so despondent, he tried to kill himself.
The once hardworking and dedicated businessman was forced to go on long-term disability. He voluntarily gave up his driver's licence after he had been in several car accidents when the illness overwhelmed him.

Magnets Aid Ultra Distance Runner.
Magnetism and pasty power is helping a man from Cornwall run across America for a children's charity.

Teacher Bob Brown, 35, from Stoke Climsland, is 46 days into the 3,100-mile race from California to New York. Mr Brown, who is leading the race, is pounding out more than a marathon distance each day to raise money for Country Holidays for Inner City Kids. Magnets have helped ease shin problems, while Cornish pasties enable him to take in 10,000 calories a day.

Magnetic Therapy: 'how it works'

Magnet therapy is a system based on the idea that our bodies form an electro-magnetic field that respond to the healing power of magnets. This is because iron makes up about four per cent of our blood content and every ion - or atom - contained in our cells produces an electrical impulse. These three elements make up our bodies own electrical magnetic field. This means when the north side of a magnet - which is negative - is placed on a painful part of the body, it draws fresh oxygenated blood to the area of complaint. This in contrast is a positive energy field.

Magnetic collar 'eases arthritic pain for dogs'
ARTHRITIC pains are something most of us have to deal with as we get older.

Even our pets suffer the condition as they age. Now a treatment using the power of magnetism is helping to put movement back into their joints. Magnetic dog collars are helping old pets run like puppies again. Janet Davies, from Porthcawl, started using magnetic therapy on her back pain, and has since used it on her dog. She said, "I was so impressed with the treatment I put a special collar on my dog."

HOW The Solar Wind Gets Past the Earth's Shield.
The Earth’s magnetic field is our planet’s first line of defense against the
bombardment of the solar wind.

The European Space Agency's Cluster spacecraft have helped answer a 17-year mystery about how the magnetosphere, a magnetic bubble that surrounds the Earth, keeps filling up with electrified gases, when it should be acting as a barrier to keep them out. The four Cluster spacecraft found huge swirling vortices of gas at the outer edges of the magnetosphere caused by interacting flows of solar wind. As they collapse, they force material into the magnetosphere, filling it up.

ARTICLE

MAGNETIC THERAPY & STRESS by Peter Rose FSI

The newspapers are attaching a lot of attention to the claims that large numbers of people are taking time off work, pretending to be ill, when they are not.

It is claimed—I wonder who constructs the figures these claims are based on? How many of those who are reading this have ever been consulted? How does some one make such precise claims with so little actual real factual data? (Especial considering the situation involves people making dishonest claims, they are hardly likely to tell the boss one thing and tell a researcher the truth are they?) But I digress- that more people claim to be suffering from stress and depression, and so take time off work, than those who claim back pain. The implication being stress and depression have vague no physical symptoms and so it is not possible to sort out genuine case from malingerers.

REDUCING STRESS MAGNETIC THERAPY.
The change in working practices from physical labour to office based boring but pressurized “mind” jobs will explain the shift in the area of problem. If you suffer from stress, magnets can help reduce the physical effects of stress, the relaxation of muscular tension.

Magnets can also help in more subtle ways to reduce the emotion effects of raised stress levels. Using four magnets on the back just below the bottom of the shoulder blade and either side of the spine, about 1 inch (2 to 3 CM) and 2inches (4 to 5 cm) from the centre line of the spine will help reduce stress that is caused by external influences, i.e. the pressures caused by bosses, spouses, tax demands etc while magnets placed in similar positions but at the top of the shoulder blades just below the top line of the shoulder and just above the top ridge of the shoulder blade, will help with stress that has an internal cause. i.e. those stresses resulting from demands we make on ourselves and the stress of reading that, even in the business and work place, decisions are made on such fragile information. It is not just politicians who make decisions then seek to justify them.

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

HUSBANDS NECK

My husband last year suffered from extreme stress which affected some of his
internal organs and was in hospital for 3 weeks. Since then his neck has started
aching again and has the doctors are stumped to find a reason for this. He has
a stressful job and wonders whether magnetic therapy would help him and if so
which one? Also would the magnet affect the computers seeming he spends his
working life on them? If magnetic therapy would be OK for him, would he use
the therapy of a night as well as the day?....UK

Magnetic Therapy may well help your husbands neck.......and yes you can use it in bed
whilst sleeping......you could use the Neck Wrap or some spot magnets which may be
a little more comfortable. They work even better whilst sleeping when the body is relaxed.
However, we would recommend the Radiation Shield first, and fit it at the bottom/front
of your husband computer screen, this may just help with all the problems.

HEADACHES
What form of magnetic jewellery help with frequent headaches ?...UK

Magnetic Necklaces are very popular at the moment, there has been several
articles written about the success of these recently. However the magnetic
Ball Bracelets also have achieved much success over many years, and that
information is based on many years of positive feedback from numerous clients.

CONSTANT BACKACHE
I suffer from constant backache but it is a lot worse during the night time so that when I wake up in the morning I am worse than when going to sleep at night - often have to get out of bed during the night and take an aspirin to relieve pain. In the morning I feel as if I have had no rest at all ! I have two hernias in the cervical region of my spine and a collapsed vertebra in the lumbar area. What do you suggest to alleviate these conditions ? ......Spain

Using the Gold 9000 Spot Magnets down the spine could certainly help Gold 9000 .
So too, (not related to 'magnetic therapy' ) is laying in the Alexander Position, if you have
no knowledge of the Alexander Technique, look it up, they are able to achieve remarkable
results for a high percentage of people.

PAIN RELIEF (ARTHRITIS)

I recently purchased a bracelet and anklet. I have arthritis in my left thumb and index
finger, do I have to wear the bracelet on my left wrist to alleviate the pain or is it ok
on my right wrist. If I wear my anklet does this have to be on the opposite
side or doesn't it matter......UK

Generally for 'pain relief' it is best to put the magnetic products as near to
the site of pain as is possible. According to our extensive feedback
'which wrist' is only important when using bracelets for certain conditions
involving the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

HORSE IN PAIN
We have a mare with severe arthritis in the pastern of the left hind leg mainly but she has also been diagnosed with symptoms of arthritis in all lower joints of the legs. Sadly she is only 8 years old. What can we do to alleviate the pain - we are giving homeopathic treatment and this is helping but we are looking at all sorts of help.

Can arthritic joints be cured ?

No unfortunately not, however putting a couple of Ceramic Wafer magnets taped on with surgical tape or bandage may certainly relieve the pain.....and improve the quality of life for the animal.
NOTE...with Horses you should put the same on both legs at the front or back (whichever you are treating) to maintain the Horses natural balance. This is important. !

YOUR FEEDBACK

GREAT SUCCESS

"Your magnets have been a great success for me and word has spread!
Please can you send me two of your catalogues for my friends......UK

HOUSEMAIDS SUFFERER
I suffer from Chrondro-malicia-patellae (otherwise known as housemaid's
knee) - the catch is I am only 23 and have suffered from this for over 10
years. An operation seems to be the only way to go but due to the fact that
my knee cap is misaligned, this operation would probably have to be repeated
a number of times throughout my life (although surgery might have come
further by now!).

Recently I seemed incapable of bending my knee at all, getting dressed
became a problem, getting into the bath and up off the floor virtually
impossible. Although I was very skeptical I have bought a number of
bracelets for my boyfriend and eventually he bought me one, just to try.

Now, I still can't vouch that it is the bracelet, but about a week and a
half after wearing it, my pain has virtually disappeared and I cannot
remember my knee ever feeling less painful. Needless to say, I am
impressed !.......UK
