I wish to thank all the earlier chroniclers of magneto-therapy for their pioneering efforts. It is a difficult subject and yet they managed to get their point across. A big hurrah to Burl Payne, Dr Bansal and all the others who have managed to put magneto-therapy in the upper echelons of alternative healing.

Preface
Preface
Magnets are known to all of us. We have played with magnets or used them at some time or the other in our lives. We may have, unwittingly, even come close to magnets at the doctor’s office, in some medical examination or the other, and yet not given it a second thought.
Did we ever imagine, even for a microsecond, that magnets are all around us and the very essence of our being? The earth has a magnetic force, the planets have a magnetic force, every little atom in our bodies has a magnetic force all its own. For that matter, every living creature in the solar system has a magnetic force. Its presence is so universal, and so invisible, just like the air we breathe, that it is easily taken for granted.
Let me illustrate this with a simple example. The other day, while researching the book, I was sitting with a friend of mine at a bar. The friend, a well-travelled sports correspondent, is one who goes purely by empirical evidence. He is an agnostic and a complete believer in science. So I broached the subject gently, lest a reprimand sully an otherwise perfect evening.
I told him that I was working on a book on magnets and I had stumbled on an ancient truth that their invisible presence permeated every aspect of our lives. He looked at me with large, disbelieving eyes and suddenly, without a word, bent forward and, with his right hand, pulled out something from his back. It was a tiny magnet strapped to a piece of plaster. “I got this at Heathrow airport,” he told me, “and I use it for back and muscular pains. It is very effective.”
I was taken aback. My friend continued with some eloquence on the use of magneto-therapy in sport and how he had seen it work on himself with enormously gratifying results. I was, at that time, under the impression that I was researching a secret therapy! But later, as I asked around, I was surprised by the general affirmation given to magneto-therapy.
As I went along and met practitioners, I realised that magneto-therapy had entered the Indian consciousness. Magneto-therapy products were on sale at select outlets and there was a substantial demand for them. Belts, bands, necklaces, earrings and other accessories with magnets worked into them were also commonly used.
This gave me great joy. I realised that I was fortunate to be chosen to document an ancient therapy that was finally being accorded a place by modern science. If, at the end of the book, you will have gleaned something about the use of magnets for better health, the effort will not have been in vain.

All About Magnets& Magnetism
1. How Magnets are aHealing Tool
As children, we have all been fascinated by pieces of iron that attracted and repelled each other with unimaginable force. We played with the little pieces in awe of the ‘magic’ they seemed to exude until parents and teachers explained to us that they were ‘magnets’ and that Nature had invested in them properties to attract and repel.
The entire cosmos, comprising universes and infinite galaxies of stars and planets, is delicately balanced by magnetism. Since man also shares the subtle and crude forces of the cosmos, it makes sense to believe that he must also be balanced by the same magnetism.
Magneto-therapy is a clinical system in which human ailments are treated and cured through the application of magnets to the body. It is a simple, cheap and entirely painless system of treatment with almost no side or after effects. The only tool in the entire treatment process is the magnet.
The earliest mention of the magnet as a healing agent occurs in the Atharvaveda - one of the four Vedas, which contains the treatise on medicine and the art of healing.
It is believed that the builders of pyramids in Egypt were well acquainted with the properties of the magnetic forces and utilised them in the preservation of dead. Queen Cleopatra of Egypt (69-30 BC) is said to have worn a small magnet on her forehead to preserve her beauty. There are innumerable other examples of the use of magnets in ancient times.
The mention of the mineral magnetite appears in Greek writings as early as 80 BC. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, the Chinese were familiar with the qualities of the magnet as early as the 2nd century. But it was only in the year 1300 AD that the Chinese developed a compass from the magnet. In Europe the first mention of the magnet occurs in a work entitled De Magneta (1600 AD) by William Gilbert. He established that a piece of magnetised iron loses its properties when heated, but regains them on cooling. The compass was invented in Europe much later.
Michael Faraday, the discoverer of electricity, was the first in Europe to study the force of the magnet and he called the area of its influence the magnetic field.
The discovery of the magnet was quite accidental. And if its healing properties were used by the ancients, it was done unwittingly. They were unaware of the magnetic forces in nature and anything awe-inspiring was ascribed to supernatural intervention.
Magneto-therapy was never made an object of scientific investigation till the beginning of the 16th century when a Swiss alchemist and physician P.A. Paracelsus undertook a study and brought to light the healing powers of the magnet. He made the revolutionary observation that the magnet could cure all inflammations, influxes, ulcerations and many diseases of the bowels and uterus. He opined, after considerable investigation, that magnets could be useful both in internal as well as external ailments.
Father Hall, an Austrian Professor of Astronomy in the 18th century, took the cue from Paracelsus and treated nervous men and women by applying magnets to their bodies as remedial tools. Magnetic treatment given by Hall was closely watched by Dr Friedrich Anton Mesmer (1733-1815) of Mesmerism fame. Dr Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), the Father of Homeopathy, picked up the baton from there and used the principles of magneto-therapy in the preparation of homeopathic medicines.
All this fuelled enormous research. Magneto-therapy had now come to stay and gained a foothold in the medical interventions of that time.
Dr William Gilbert (1540-1600) of England, the court physician to Queen Elizabeth I, pioneered the scientific study of electricity and magnetism. He was the first to declare that the earth itself was a huge magnet. Michael Faraday (1791-1867) laid the foundations of Biomagnetics and Magneto-chemistry and established that all matter is magnetic in one way or the other and is either attracted or repelled by amagnetic field. In 1862, Louis Pasteur discovered that the earth’s magnetic field exercised a positive effect on the growth of plants.
All these discoveries had taken the lid off a hornet’s nest. Now there was no stopping the furious pace of further research.
From here, the biomagnetists in America, Russia, Japan, England and France carried out extensive research on the nature and scope of the magnetic field and its effect on living organisms. Thousands of experiments on bacteria, flies, mice, birds, fish, pigeons and rabbits, as well as on plants and tissue cultures, were conducted with amazing results.
It has now been proved that magnets can cure a number of common and serious human ailments without any medicinal aids. Experimenting biomagnetists and practising magneto-therapists have demonstrated that magnetic treatment drives out all types of bodily pains, helps in speedy healing of wounds and fractured bones, dissolves any clots in the blood vessels, washes out stones in kidneys and the gallbladder and cures diseases like arthritis, asthma, eczema, inflammation, paralysis, polio, slipped disc, spondylitis, stiffness, swelling, tumours etc. There are reports of even cancer being successfully treated in the initial stages with the application of magnets.
Magnets, as we will soon see, have become a convenient, safe, dependable and complementary tool in the treatment of disease.
High-power magnets - used to heal many ailments.
Magnets regulate the natural systems of the body and so help the efficacy of any medication being taken. Therefore, while undergoing magneto-therapy, there is no need to discontinue the current mode of treatment.
Magneto-therapy is rooted in natural laws. It is also cheap and easy to use. No lengthy preparations or big money is needed to start and continue with it. A pair of prescribed magnets are the only prerequisites. With it a number of people can be treated for years. Water or any other liquid can be regularly magnetised by the same magnets and used as an accessory to the main line of treatment. If, after years of continuous use, the pair or pairs of magnets lose part of their power, they can be recharged and a renewed span of life given to them. No recurring expenses occur.
Magnets are great time-savers too. Tortuous queues at hospitals are avoided and common ailments can be cured at home.
The application of magnets for about ten minutes daily, in addition to drinking magnetised water everyday, also serves as a preventive against disease and exhaustion.
There is no danger of habit formation with the continued use of magnets. Neither does the magnet lose its effect on the human body after protracted application. There are no side effects either. Even if a high-power magnet has been applied for a time longer than prescribed, the only possible reaction could be slight tiredness immediately after application, and even that is temporary.
An accident started a scientific probe into the effects of magnetism on water. The scientific probes, quite naturally, spilled over to blood too. A few decades ago, Russian technicians and scientists were searching for an easy method to rid the inner walls of pipes of salt deposits. During experiments, they found to their amazement that if magnetised water was passed through the pipes, the hard deposits fell off and were dissolved in water. What’s more, further concentration of deposits was restricted and often arrested. The same results were achieved in the radiators of automobiles.
This proved that magnetism somehow transformed simple water into a charismatic liquid. Research also showed that consequent upon the exposure of water to the magnetic field, its temperature, density, surface tension, viscosity and electrical conductivity were affected. Magnetism increased the speed of sedimentation of suspended tiny particles in water and enhanced its conductivity. It hastened the process of ionisation in water.
The study of the effect of magnetism on water naturally attracted the attention of bio-magnetists. Now they took up blood, the most important fluid in the body, for a similar study. The results, again, were amazing.
They found that the magnetic contact immediately activated the iron content in the blood and a weak current was generated. An increase, directly proportionate to the strength of the magnetic field, in the number of centres of crystallisation, was achieved. The process of ionisation (dissociation of atoms or molecules into electrically charged particles) was also hastened.
This freed the blood from the danger of clotting and stimulated easier and more spontaneous flow through the arteries and veins. The magnetic flux created in the blood resulted in an increase in the number of red corpuscles and strengthened the inactive and decayed ones. The movement of haemoglobin in blood vessels was accelerated and calcium and cholesterol deposits in the blood were brought to a minimum.
What was more, it was discovered that magnetism exercised a similar effect on all other fluids in the body. It also helped the secretion of hormones, built new cells and rejuvenated the tissues and exercised a stabilising effect on the genetic code.
Magnetic phenomena have held a strange fascination for the human mind throughout the ages. Lodestone, as the natural deposits of magnetic iron ore were called in ancient times, was the first magnetic material known to man.
The word ‘lodestone’ or ‘loadstone’ is derived from the old English word ‘load’ meaning ‘way’ because, during the Middle Ages, it was discovered that when a piece of lodestone was suspended by a thread, one end always pointed North and the other South. It was known as the ‘Chariot of the South’ to the Chinese almost four thousand years ago, and helped them in direction finding.
In ancient Greece and Rome it was known that a piece of loadstone (today called ‘magnetite’) attracted bits of iron. It was believed that charms made of these stones could attract one’s lover; that if the wife of an unfaithful husband were to place a piece of magnetite beneath his pillow, he would have terrible nightmares; that if a piece of magnetite was placed on the head, one could hear the voices of Gods! It was also used as an amulet for headaches, cramps, gout, and a host of other ailments.
In ancient Greece, as legend would have it, while tending his sheep on Mount Ida, a shepherd boy by the name of
