Variations in the earth's magnetic field are important to all living beings on the planet. Scientists are aware that this field is in a constant state of flux as it is influenced by the solar winds, shifts in the magnetic core, and the presence of ferromagnetic substances in the earth's crust.
Current research shows that the earth's field periodically waxes and wanes, and even reverses itself entirely. Though the reasons for this are not currently known, geological evidence indicates that the strength of the field gradually grows weaker, reaches a minimum or disappears entirely, and then builds again the opposite direction. This results in a reversal of the North and South magnetic poles. Scientists estimate that such reversals take place about every one-half to one million years. The most recent reversal took place about 700,000 years ago.
Other scientist have documented that the earth's magnetic field has degraded about 50% over the last 500 - 1,000 years, with a full 5% decline being recorded in the past 100 years. Calculations are that if this degradation continues at its present rate, there will not be a sufficient magnetic field to support life within 1500 years.
Interestingly, certain locales on Earth have inexplicably retained the strength of their magnetic fields. Among them, areas such as Sedona, Arizona and Lourdes, France, are destinations to which countless persons travel annually to experience feelings of well-being and to seek healing.
Much research and interest is now directed toward the electrical nature of life. Scientists have established beyond any doubt that all living cells are electrical in nature. The functioning of the cells and nervous system of every living being is based on direct current (DC) and pulsed DC energy. Without this energy, there is no life. Each individual cell possesses a positive electrical charge at its nucleus and a negative electrical charge on its outer membrane.
This positive-negative polarization allows each cell to function in an orderly and healthy manner. As cells perform their normal bodily functions, this electromagnetic charge wears down. The body attempts to revitalize these "tired" cells by sending pulses of electromagnetic energy from the brain through the nervous system to recharge the cells and strengthen the polarized field.
The energy can be diminished or blocked conditions found throughout today's environment, resulting in a host of modern maladies. These can range from headaches and fatigue to tumors and disruption of both circulatory and digestive systems, along with other specific and non-specific ailments.
Noted researchers, including the U.S. Surgeon General, warn of the harmful effects of the "electric smog" from televisions, radio, radar, electric blankets, waterbed heaters, household appliances, excessive exposure to computers, power lines, and other sources.
Sensitive instruments show that man's mushrooming alternating current (AC) electronic technology is creating interference with the earth's natural magnetic fields. Within the typical home or work environment, the AC radiation is sufficiently prolific enough to overpower the earth's natural magnetic field by up to 16 times. In today's buildings, the iron and steel alone can deplete the magnetic field by more than half.
The earth produces its own direct current (DC) magnetic pulses that support the natural biorhythms of all living things. However, as mentioned earlier, scientists are becoming increasingly alarmed that the present-day magnetic field of the earth has and continues to diminish significantly.
A radiation researcher at Arizona State University believes that the ordinary 60 cycle household AC electricity and higher frequencies such as those from radio broadcasts and radar can cause memory loss, headaches, changes in heart rates, blood chemistry and general malaise.
European scientists report such daily exposure is cumulative and contributes to sluggishness, headaches, and both digestive and circulatory problems. At the University of Colorado in Boulder, Dr. Nancy Wertheimer has reported increased cancer among children in "high current" dwellings.
According to Dr. William Adey, an American cancer researcher, this "electronic smog" can block the brains electromagnetic signals to the cells, thereby undermining the body's disease-fighting ability and promoting tumors.
Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D., one of America's pioneers in the field of research on regeneration and electrical currents in living things, has achieved what have been termed "miraculous" results in healing with biomagnetic therapy. He has gone so far as to speculate that electro-pollution, in addition to causing some cancers, may be contributing to the onslaught of such maladies as Reye's syndrome, Lyme disease, Legionnaire's disease, and AIDS.
Kyoichi Nakagawa, M.D., one of the world's foremost authorities on magnetism and its therapeutic effects on the human body, claims that the continuing degrading of the earth's magnetic field, combined with mans electronic environment, is responsible for a broad range of ailments which he labels as the Magnetic Deficiency Syndrome. These ailments include stiffness of the shoulders, back pain, neck pain, uncertain low back pain, chest pains for no specific reason, habitual headache, heaviness of head, dizziness, insomnia for uncertain reasons, habitual constipation and general fatigue.
I think it is worth noting, that in Japan, one out of every five households has some Natural Magnetic Field and/or Far Infrared Field product to assist in offsetting some of the difficulties cited.
