Because Magnetic Therapy is a relatively new concept for many people they have questions about how it is to be used.

One of the most frequently asked questions is "Should I use the magnetics while I sleep?"

One answer to this question lies in the pineal gland which is in the center of the brain. It essentially induces sleep by emitting melatonin. The pineal gland is magnetically sensitive and is controlled somewhat by the earth's magnetic field. Scientists have found that a lack of melatonin not only can trigger insomnia or restless sleep, but also depression, overeating and carbohydrate cravings. Studies at Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that the natural rhythms controlled by the pineal gland could be resynchonized by the use of a supplemental magnetic field.

Restful sleep may also be interrupted by pain. Chronic pain can make it difficult to fall asleep at all. Magnetic therapy for pain relief used during the night can bring more restful sleep.

Restful sleep is essential for the body to repair itself and restore energy.

Another frequently asked question is "What is the amount of magnetic energy that I want to receive, is it possible to get too much?"

All magnetic strength is measured in gauss. This is the power of the magnet and is measured by a gauss meter in gauss units power by the iron weight it can lift. For example, a magnet that can lift two pounds of iron weight has 530-600 gauss power. A magnet that can lift 25 pounds has 2500 gauss power.

Though some magnetic therapists have created some general guidelines for magnetic use, there is a lack of a standardized system. Proper gauss strength is still being determined in the treatment of a wide variety of conditions.

The amount of magnetic energy absorbed by the body is also believed to be determined by single pole (north)magnetism or bi-polar magnetisim. The former is believed to have more penetration power. Both have applications for therapy.

The human body absorbs and uses magnetic energy in a balance of both negative and positive energies. It is believed that it is prolonged exposure to positive magnetic energy fields which does us harm. Our bodies health is a constant and ongoing battle against positive energy attackers which are both internal and external. 

Internal positive energy attacks come from allergens, (food, plants, animals,etc.) nutritional deficiencies, infections, metabolic disorders and addictions to name a few.

External positive energy attacks come daily from our electronic environment, auto exhaust, chemical toxins in our food and cosmetics, power lines and from the deficiency in the our earth's own magnetic field.
