Dr. William Gilbert of Colchester, England (1540-1603 A.D.), a famous physician of his time, who was also the President of the college of physician and the court physician to the Queen Elizabeth I, was the first Englishman to make a scientific study of Electricity and Magnetism. He carried out certain experiment in the year 1600. He gave the picture of the general character of the earth's magnetic field and concluded that the earth is itself a big magnet. Everything on earth and in the air above is permeated with the earth's magnetic force.

Several other Scientists made experiments and gave experience to the world. In the middle of the 19th century, Michael Faraday 1791-1869, an English Scientist, made very important discoveries  and revelations. His first independent achievement was the demonstration of a magnet around a current. He is regarded as the founder of Biomagnetics and Magnetochemistry. Faraday showed that all matter is magnetic in one sense or the other, that is, the matter is either attracted or repelled by a magnetic field.

Today's scientists and medical specialists have proved that the human body is a source of magnetic field. Attempts have been made to measure in the magnetic fields produced by different organs of the human body, namely, heart, brain, nerves, muscles and other tissues as well as the frequency of the magnetic fields in some diseases. It has been found that the magnetic fields produced by all the organs in the body that consists or contain muscles and nerves is of fluctuating nature. Dr. Maclean of New York has successfully cured advanced cases of cancer. He claims that cancer cannot exist in a strong magnetic field.

Magnetism and Electricity are two branches of the same natural force. They are inseparable and go side by side. The earth is not only a huge magnet but a vast reservoir too, as an electric current, when released, find its way into the earth. The human body also is a miniature  form of the earth. There is exchange of matters, magnetism and electricity in the human bodies. That is why improvement in health occurs by walking on dewy grass and sand or by sleeping out-doors on morn hay.

The human body itself cures most of its own diseases. An efficient doctor or an excellent remedy only assists the natural curative powers of the body. The magnetic flux is also natural healing power and it invigorates the self-healing property of the human body. Strong magnetic flux penetrates deeply into muscles, fatty tissues and bones to give intense relief to the nerves. It enables the body to resist diseases and accelerate recovery from sickness and fatigue. The collective therapeutic effect of magnets cures diseases by eliminating the constitutional weakness. Thus the curative powers of the magnet do not operate individually or independently but work together and an all round healing is effected, namely, of blood, nerve, hormones, etc.

When magnet is applied to the human body, magnetic waves pass through the tissues and secondary currents are induced. When these current clash with magnetic waves, they produce impacting heats on the electrons n the body cells. Movement of hemoglobin in blood vessels is accelerated while calcium and cholesterol deposits in blood are decreased. Even the other unwanted materials adhered to the inner side of blood vessels, which provoke high blood pressure, are decreased and made to vanish. The blood is cleansed and circulation is increased. The activity of the heart eases and fatigue and pains disappear.
