5.0 out of 5 stars My Doctor is amazed with the range of motion in my neck!, February 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Magnet Therapy: The Pain Cure Alternative (Paperback)

This book helped me learn how to apply magnets to my body, what to expect, and how to communicate this knowledge to my neurologist. After suffering from a spinal cord injury and a cervical fusion the remainder of my discs were collapsing and I was suffering from horrible headaches and muscle spasms. Neurologists said I needed more operations and would end-up in a wheelchair if I didn't have them. Now, my doctor cannot believe the change and either can I. This book is VERY easy to understand and was hard for me to put down. I have recommended it to several people with disabilities of all sorts. We all know there is no magic wand. However, Dr Lawrence has relayed all the important information about the benefits and also misconceptions of magnet therapy. This book has helped me find a way to live with a problem I've had since a car accident in 1991. Get the facts so you dont waste your money on the many different magnetic devices on the market. Be an informed consumer and be pain free. I look forward to more of his writings on this topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnets are changing health care. This book tells you why., October 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Magnet Therapy: The Pain Cure Alternative (Paperback)

Dr. Lawrence, Dr. Rosch, and Ms. Plowden do an excellent job of summarizing recent findings on how magnets are being used by medical and other professionals around the world to help people with chronic health problems of all kinds -- without the negative side effects commonly associated with drugs and surgery. In lay person language this book tells you where and how to use health-grade magnet products for best results with problems ranging from back discomfort, to joint stiffness, to attention and sleep disorders and more. It also discusses how magnets were used in health care for more than 4 thousand years and why we are returning to their use after almost 80 years of using drugs and surgery as alternatives. Health-grade magnets changed my life so much that I changed careers so I can share them with others. This book points out that contemporary medical professionals were not trained in the use of magnets for health, so few have any awareness of their use. If you or someone you love has a chronic health problem, get and read this book then try health-grade magnets for yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnets have literally changed my life!, October 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Magnet Therapy: The Pain Cure Alternative (Paperback)

An excellent book on magnetics, easy to read and understand. I was introduced to magnetic health products by a friend and have never felt better in my life. Sleeping on a magnetic mattress has convinced me of the power of magnets in health and wellness. I have a 10 year old springer spaniel with hip displaysia who also sleeps on magnets, she is an entirely new dog, more energetic and with less discomfort. After reading this book I can now comfortably talk magnets with my friends and family and highly recommend their use for a better quality of life.
