Magnets are mysterious. They have captivated human imagination for millennia. Their healing powers astound people. Their curious magical attraction for iron, is still little understood by the public even today. Scientists studying magnets and their magnetic fields are realising that they can play an important part in restoring health and wholeness to organic life. The story of magnets is a fascinating saga! A brief history of magnets Selected scientific studies A few details about our SuperMagnet From Cleopatra to modern times Magnets have been used since the time of the ancient Egyptians, who used them to treat gout. Cleopatra used them for headaches. Their therapeutic properties have been recognised for millenia to treat disorders of the circulation. In modern times new magnets have been invented, and new applications discovered. During the 1960s Madelaine Barnothy, a physicist from Illinois University, noticed that very powerful magnetic fields could regress solid tumours in mice. But her electromagnets weighed over 20 kilos. Recently new types of magnet have been developed made of rare metals like neodymium and of boron, which make topical application easy: they weight only a few grams, yet are so strong that it is difficult to prize them apart. We have been researching this type of magnet for five years, and have found they can ease muscular pain dramatically, especially those pains arising from poor circulation. Accordingly long distance lorry drivers, office workers, computer operators, the bedridden, in fact almost anyone sitting or lying in one position for any length of time can benefit from these effects. In today’s sedentary TV watching society that means most of us! We don’t claim our magnets can cure breast cancer or arthritis (though they help considerably with arthritic pain) but we are sure they improve blood circulation, are analgesic, and help restore energy levels in oxygen -impoverished limbs. Some scientific studies of static magnetic field effects b) These studies are a small selection from the peer-reviewed scientific literature. They show that magnets really do work! 1. McLean, Holcombe et al., (1998) A static magnetic field opposes kainate-induced excitotoxicity in cultured mouse spinal cord neurons. Bioelectromagnetics Soc. Ann Mtg. Florida, June 1998. Tests on nerve cells showed an ameliorative effect from the static magnetic fields. 2. Thomas, McLean et al., (1998) A static magnetic field protects against audiogenic seizures in Fring’s mice. Bioelectromagnetics Soc. Ann Mtg. Florida, June 1998. A study of the effects of magnets on epileptic-like seizures with good results. Being evaluated by the FDA for possible treatment of human epileptics. 3. Holcolme (1998) Treatment of mechanical low back pain with arrays of permanent magnets: a controlled study. Bioelectromagnetics Soc. Ann Mtg. Florida, June 1998. A double blind placebo-controlled trial showing clearly better results than the dummy sets in patients after 1,2, 4, and 34 hours. 4. Gmitrova & Gmitrov (1990) Effect of a permanent magnetic field on blood pressure regulation. J. Bioelectricity, 9: 79-83. Showed how magnetic fields influence blood circulation. 5. Itegin, Gunay et al., (1995) Effects of static magnetic field on specific ATP activities and bioelectrical and biomechanical properties of the rat diaphragm muscle. Bioelectromagnetics J. 16: 147-151 (1995). Reports show how magnetic fields also improve energy formation: 6. Jeno Barnothy (1964) Rejection of transplanted tumours in mice. In: Biological effects of magnetic fields, (Barnothy et al., eds) Plenum, NY, NY, 1964. Interesting field-induced improvements in tumour rejection in implanted mice. Note: these are only a small selection of the thousands of studies now available. For others visit the references section of our website: The COGHILL SUPERMAGNET Today in Britain towards a third of us are over fifty years old. Of these about a quarter have chronic lower back or muscle pain, - perhaps up to 4 million sufferers. Despite mentholated rubs, bath salts, and physiotherapy, the pain persists, sometimes for many years, making life a constant misery. Our laboratory has developed the use of static magnets as a therapy for lower back pain and myalgias, with spectacular success: sometimes relief comes in minutes, even for longstanding sufferers, without side effects. Often the pain never returns after treatment. We have developed specially designed Supermagnets made not of iron but of rare earth metals, upto 8000 times more powerful than the Earth’s geomagnetic field. SuperMagnets differ from all others in that their magnetic field strengths can be easily altered by the user according to the required application. They are guaranteed for 30 years in normal use, and come with a 60 day money back guarantee. In other words you can lose nothing by trying them.
