The magnet replaces the needle Now, all roads end up in Rome. We are talking about the new techniques and improved methods.
Presently, one can use a magnet instead of a needle. We already know that magnets have two different poles, North and South. Each of these has different therapeutic effects on the body. Now, instead of puncturing with needles and manipulating them in different directions, we use the different poles of the magnet.
This way we can reduce the fear of needles that some people have that makes them reluctant to use acupuncture.

The idea of using magnets instead of needles comes from the Japanese, who have been able to achieve remarkable results by making use of modern improved techniques.

Although it is not possible to explain the whole range of the complex processes of acupuncture here, we can bring out some explanations through comparing the therapeutic effects of Oriental and Western medical practices.

An Awareness of Western Medicine
There is no doubt that a practitioner of acupuncture needs to learn Western medicine, too.
A practitioner of Eastern medicine cannot and should not hesitate to investigate the fields of Western medicine. In fact, such a practitioner should, by all means, acquaint himself with the latest discoveries and happenings within the disciplines of Western medicine as well, so he/she can recognize the differences between functional and organic diseases. The practitioner can thereby bring about the same effects that Western medicine achieves by chemical drugs, through acupuncture, the natural functioning of the body.
This is the reason that medical school in China is eight years, so that medical students can become knowledgeable in both fields of practice, Western and Oriental medicine.

But, in this brief paper, my discussion should only be about the natural energy of the body, and I would like to continue it in the direction of that same subject. Our discussion is about the equilibrium and the proper balance of this inner energy which can be affected through the use of the magnet.

A healthy body acquires the necessary energy from its environment. This energy is the magnetic energy of the earth, which indeed provides for the health and well-being of living creatures. Any living creature, if deprived of this energy by natural or artificial means, will first get different diseases and finally die. Because of this discovery, many scientists throughout the world have begun doing research about magnetic forces, and have achieved remarkable results in this particular field of medicine. The surgery group at the University of Pennsylvania has even been able to attain miraculous results in treating broken bones by using magnets, without an open operation.

Who was the Pioneer in Magnet Therapy?
You may think that the Japanese were the ones who first investigated the natural magnetic forces in the body about 50 years ago. Then again, maybe you, like many of the researchers, have the idea that the discoverer of this natural force of vitality was Samuel Hahnmann, the father of homeopathy, who found out about this phenomenon about 150 years ago. The discoverer of the natural magnet was the distinguished Iranian scientist, Avecina(the famous Persian physician Ali Abbas or Bu Ali Sina) , who discovered it many centuries ago in about 1000 A.D. In one of the British publications, there was an article about Avecina that said he had been the original discoverer of the natural magnet and that he used it in his practice of medicine about 1000 years ago, knowing the mysteries of its therapeutic effects fully.
Avecina reportedly had treated his patients by magnets in cases of muscle spasms and ailments of muscles and orthopedic diseases, as well as for gout. He knew that gout was the result of the collection of uric acid in the joints, so he used magnet therapy to get rid of it by increasing the flow of blood. There has also been some evidence that shows that people in the 16th century were using the same method of treatment to speed up the flow of the blood to repel excess bilirubin in order to get rid of excess bilirubin in hepatitis.

Magnets and Iron in the Blood
Most of the diseases which are found in the body are caused by a poor flow of blood through the systems or the particular organs. Headaches and dizziness are some examples of discrepancies of the flow of blood within the brain system, and heart problems are developed by trouble in the flow of blood through the muscles of the heart.
Baldness, wrinkles on the face, pains in the back and shoulders, sleeplessness, lack of ability to concentrate, and many kinds of stress and diseases are all consequences of disorders of the proper flow of blood through some particular organ of the body.

An investigator at South Hampton University in England named Dr. Melwill has done some interesting research on this and has achieved valuable results. Dr. Melwill's investigation proves that the erythrocytes in blood are bound together by magnetic force.
Therefore, one can excite these corpuscles by using a magnet. Dr. Melwill explains: "The erythrocytes are bonded together by magnetic force and the iron of the hemoglobin inside the erythrocytes can be put to motion by a magnetic force, as a result of which the blood can move and flow smoothly to treat some of the diseases."

We have to point out here that the Institute of Biomagnetics in New York, under the supervision of Dr. Kenneth S. MacLean, has achieved quite remarkable outcomes in this regard.
The researchers of this institute are of the opinion that if changes which occur in cancer cells are a result of disequilibrium of energy (magnetic), then if this energy is put back to its proper balance at the place of this cancer, the tissue affected will heal up.

Another researcher, Dr. Burr believes: "The human body in itself is a bio-magnetic system which is continuing its life in a magnetic environment. Therefore, the living things on Earth all possess this magnetic energy, the deprivation of which can cause disease and even death.

The Effects of the North and South Poles
A group of Japanese researchers, together with the help of a group of French scientists, discovered that if one uses the South or North poles of a magnet on the specific points of acupuncture, or on the new points which have been discovered by the Japanese, he/she can attain the same therapeutic effects which the Chinese achieved by acupuncture. The Japanese and the French came to the conclusion that, knowing about magnotherapy, there is no need to use acupuncture, which may even cause some discomfort.

With magnotherapy, one can restore the natural balance of energy in the diseased organ, so that the body can regain its natural functioning. Magnotherapy presently is being used in most fields of medicine and has brought about a revolution in all branches including dentistry, in which the arrangement of teeth is altered by this same method.

The use of magnets has become one of the most important scientific matters, not only in the field of medicine, but also in the field of agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture in the U.S.S.R. has been using some magnetic devices to increase the growth and production of agricultural products. In Canada, farmers have also been using some similar devices on their farms.

The use of magnets in medicine requires abundant experience and specialized training because the positive and negative poles have different therapeutic effects, which are summarized in the following list:

The North, or the Negative Pole:
1. This pole is quite effective in treating obesity by balancing the protein activities of the body, because it is a retarder of these sorts of activities.

2. It decreases the water of the body. Therefore, it has good effects on body contouring.

3. It causes contraction and vasoconstrictive action causes the making of alkaline substances in the cells of the organs. As a result, it is effective in sedation and relief of pain.

4. It is effective in decreasing the activities of cells.

5. It can increase the potassium of blood.

6. It can cause a decrease in calcium ions which are in excess of need and can be very effective in treating arthritis and joint pain.

7. It can dissolve cholesterol on the wall of the blood vessels and decrease the fats of the cholesterol contained in the blood.

8. It can prevent the coagulation of the blood, so it can stop bleeding. 9. It can prevent the growth of viruses and microbes. Therefore, its effect is similar to that of antibiotics.

The South, or Positive Pole:
1. It can cause an increase of protein action in the cells and, thus, bring about fatness.

2. It distributes the water in the body.

3. It can cause an expansion of the blood vessels, and with the increase of vasodilatation, it can bring about an increase in acidity of the cells.

4. It can increase activity.

5. It can increase sodium in the blood.

6. It can increase the growth of microorganisms and viruses.

7. It can increase the erythrocytes of the blood.

Another opinion regarding the energy flow of magnets, as expressed by Dr. Ted J. Zablotsky, is as follows:
"It is a historic error that the Earth's geographic North Pole is not referred to as a magnetic South Pole. When the early compass needles were suspended, that tip of the needle which pointed towards the geographic North was labeled as the magnetic North Pole. The laws of physics eventually explained that only opposite magnetic poles attract one another, thus proving that a pole drawn to a magnetic South Pole should be considered a magnetic North Pole. Therefore, in reality, the geographic North Pole is a magnetic South Pole, and vice versa."
