Concerning Magnetic Polarity

[There is an important difference, as to the nature of the polarity

of magnets used on human tissue. Dr. Philpott herein presents a

summary of many years of research, clarifying the proper use of

magnets. Also see Magnet Therapy by William Philpott, M.D. &

Dwight K. Kalita, Ph.D. with Burton Goldberg, ISBN 1-887299-1;

Ed.]

The definition of magnetic polarity used in this article is that of

an electrical definition of polarity, which is positive and negative. This

is purposely used when applying magnets to the human body rather

than the navigational definition of magnetism as north seeking and

south seeking.

The human body functions on a direct current circuit and thus,

references to positive and negative are most appropriate. A positive

electric field produces a positive magnetic field. A negative electric

field produces a negative magnetic field. This parallel makes it possible

to appropriately use the electric terms of polarity.

It has been recommended that it is preferred to use the electric

definition of polarity instead of navigational definition of polarity

when referring to magnetic polarity

. An important point of referring

to the separateness of the two magnetic poles is that the biological

response is opposite to the separate poles. Some have elected to use

a positive magnetic field of a combined positive-negative magnetic

fields of low level gauss strength which serves as a counter-irritant.

However, the limitations of this is such as to not recommend this type

of stress reflex therapy. It is more appropriate to have a higher gauss

strength and use the negative magnetic pole for its anti-inflammatory

value.

Some have also elected to use a pulsing frequency associated

with a magnetic pole. Although this can be useful, it is not necessary.

What we have described in this article is a static magnetic field

plus a pulsing field. The brain makes a pulsing response to the

magnetic field it receives. When increasing the positive magnetic field

the brain frequency increases and the amplitude decreases. When the

brain is exposed to a negative magnetic field the brain frequency

decreases and the amplitude increases.

The resting brain has a pulsing frequency of 8 to 12 cycles per

second. This is a response to the negative magnetic field.

Sleep has runs as low as 2 cycles per second, which cycles per

second is anti-stressful.

Any pulsing frequency above 12 cycles per second is stressful.

Any pulsing frequency below 12 cycles is anti-stressful. The pulsing

frequencies can be used for their value separate from a magnetic field

or combined with a magnetic field. However, since the brain makes

its own pulsing frequency response to the magnetic field there is no

essential necessity of associating a pulsing frequency with the mag-

netic field.

This is truly a magnetic resonance therapy.

It is an oxidative therapy by virtue of the increase in oxygen that

occurs under the influence of a negative magnetic field. A positive

magnetic field would decrease the content of oxygen in the tissues

under the influence of that positive magnetic polarity.

The pH Factor

Acute reactions to foods, chemicals, and inhalants are all acidi-

fying.

Chronic reactions that become diagnosed as chronic degenera-

tive diseases are simply extensions of acute reactions to environmental

substances.

Infections, whether bacterial, viral, or fungal, are acidifying. The

pH factor is the most consistent factor occurring in both acute

maladaptive reactions and chronic degenerative diseases substance

reactive (brief systemic and longer term local).

Unfortunately, the specialty of allergy settled on the evidence of

antibody reactions as providing the believable reactions to environ-

mental substances and for some years disregarded and tended to

disbelieve any type of reactions that did not manifest antibodies. If the

allergy specialty had taken the acid pH-hypoxia factors as the central

reason for reactions, allergy would have been the specialty that

contributed most of all specialties to the advancement of medicine.

The acidity is local where the symptoms develop and may not

necessarily be reflected by an assessment of the blood pH. Morning

(AM) blood pH is not a reliable indication of the degree of disease and

acidity-hypoxia in local symptom areas. The systemic evidence (blood

pH), if and when present, after a maladaptive reaction, classically

becomes corrected in two to three hours.

In an acid medium, molecular oxygen becomes reduced and no

longer has oxidative value. Since molecular oxygen is necessary for

biological energy production in humans, the development of hypoxia

in an acid medium is central to the acute and chronic disease process.

The Solubility Factor

Essential minerals remain ionized and thus soluble in an alkaline
