North or South or East or West Magnetism?
|
|
|
|
By Buryl Payne, Ph. D.
|
|
|
|
What and how to apply magnetic forces to the human body or other biological
|
|
systems need not be debated. The question can usually be answered by
|
|
reasonably objective methods and some general principles.
|
|
|
|
About fifteen years ago, it was discovered that the body's muscles will
|
|
strengthen or weaken, upon the application of external or internal stimuli.
|
|
Many chiropractors developed and perfected this technique and it came to be
|
|
called "applied kiniesology", or more simply, "muscle testing".
|
|
|
|
In its simplest form, the person being tested holds one arm out in a
|
|
horizontal position and resists while a tester applies an even pressure near
|
|
the wrist to force the arm down. When various stimuli are applied to the
|
|
body, such a colored lights, topical applications, foods, vitamins, mineral
|
|
preparation, or homeopathic remedies, are held in hand or taken orally, the
|
|
arm muscle will be noticeably weaker if that substance is not good for the
|
|
body, or stronger if it is good for the body.
|
|
|
|
Walter Rawls, Jr., patented the technique of using muscle testing to determine
|
|
the activity level of glands and organs by the use of permanent magnets. This
|
|
system was further developed by Drs. Richard and Mary Broeringmeyer and used
|
|
to indicate which magnetic polarity ought to be applied to reflex points, or
|
|
at the sites of injury, as well at a particular gland or organ, to bring it
|
|
back to optimum functioning.
|
|
|
|
Years of experience by the Broeringmeyers, myself and other magnetotherapists
|
|
have validated the use of this system in determining what magnetic strength
|
|
and polarity is most effective for the body. When pulsed magnetic fields are
|
|
used, muscle testing will also indicate the optimum pulse repetition rate as
|
|
well as the optimum intensity. Usually pulse rate and gauss strength are not
|
|
sharply resonant parameter, but polarity is clearly indicated.
|
|
|
|
The technique is described in the authors's two books (see references).
|
|
|
|
The process of muscle testing is not completely objective, although when there
|
|
is a large difference it is usually unequivocal. Its use has been expanded
|
|
and refined to include the testing of substances that might be applied on to
|
|
the body, to the body, or ingested for various healing techniques, and for
|
|
psychological diagnosis.
|
|
|
|
However muscle testing can be affected by the state or intention of the tester
|
|
as well as the testee. When the difference between a "yes" or a "no" is
|
|
slight, subjective factors become more intrusive.
|
|
|
|
Muscle testing also requires the assistance of another person. Although a
|
|
couple of muscle strength techniques for self testing have been devised, they
|
|
are quite subjective.
|
|
|
|
Now, a more objective means has been developed, called the Electronic Muscle
|
|
Tester. This research instrument measures the pressure exerted between a
|
|
finger and thumb, indicating the result on a meter. In practice of
|
|
magnetotheraphy, one applies on pole of a magnet, makes a strength
|
|
determination, then applies the other pole, making a second test.
|
|
|
|
The Electronic Muscle Tester is reasonably objective, after a little practice,
|
|
and can be easily self-administered. It can also provide some indication of
|
|
relative intensity of a stimulus or treatment. With the use of this
|
|
technique, there is no need to argue about east and west and north and south
|
|
magnetic polarity, on simply asks the body.
|
|
|
|
For example, in the case of a wound to the body, the first reaction of the
|
|
body is usually inflammation. Treatment with the bionorth polarity is
|
|
indicated by muscle testing. However, after the inflammation and pain are
|
|
reduced, muscle testing will indicate that treatment with the biosouth pole
|
|
is called for. This will stimulate cell growth and healing. The alert
|
|
magnetotherapist will watch for this transition, for to continue to treat with
|
|
only bionorth would probably slow down the healing process. But in any case,
|
|
the use of muscle testing, no matter what means is used, provides the answer
|
|
in about 90% of the cases.
|
|
|
|
When muscle testing does not give clear results, yet magnetotheraphy is
|
|
clearly called for, there are four general principles which may be used as a
|
|
guideline. These are:
|
|
|
|
1. The biosouth pole stimulates and promotes healing,
|
|
growth and activity.
|
|
|
|
2. The bionorth calm, sedates, reduces inflammation and
|
|
retards growth.
|
|
|
|
3. If it feels good, keep doing it! If it doesn't help,
|
|
or makes the condition worse, wait a short time and
|
|
then apply the polarity.
|
|
|
|
4. Don't treat tumors, cancers or infections with the
|
|
biosouth pole.
|
|
|
|
The different types of action which have been found to be associated with each
|
|
pole is briefly summarized in the following table:
|
|
|
|
BioSouth Polarity
|
|
|
|
Stimulates
|
|
Tonifies
|
|
Increases Circulation
|
|
Dilates
|
|
Increase Acidity
|
|
|
|
BioNorth Polarity
|
|
|
|
Sedates
|
|
Inhibits
|
|
Cools
|
|
Soothes
|
|
Slows
|
|
Reduces Inflammation
|
|
Shrinks Tumors
|
|
Decrease Acidity
|
|
|
|
To simply expose each person to the same polarity, or to decide in advance
|
|
which polarity they should use, would be an error. Ideally each person should
|
|
be able to self test and set the parameters for his or her own benefit. The
|
|
technology now exists to do that.
|
|
|
|
Magnetism is mysterious to most people. This makes it more difficult to use
|
|
in magnetotheraphy and other applications.
