So in placing one magnet, say the black side against the body in one position, it You need to restore balance and create equilibrium or homeostasis in placing the second pair.

What has occurred in different... research experimenting with magnetic fields is that in my own private research that I've funded small pilot studies here and there, I haven't published anything yet because it's not big enough and it requires millions of dollars, but i have been able to identify that there is an increase in circulation there is an increase in glutathione production there is a decrease in reactive oxygen species there is a decrease in overall inflammation there's an increase in vasodilation and many other effects are occurring so in terms of magnetic fields It's all about applying them appropriately to get the response that you would like.

Once you learn about they can go here, there, everywhere, okay, what particular response are you looking for? But the body responds to the magnetic fields because there are principles in physics that state that And you cannot change this.

Where there is a magnetic field, it will always cause a perpendicular electric field to it.

So in our bodies, when we place a magnet on top of the skin, clearly there's blood flow going in a perpendicular direction and that blood contains minerals.

And I see in some of my patients with brain disorders, including Alzheimer's, they can have damage of the myelin sheath, which helps with normal electrical conduction.

So the thought that there may be technologies out there to improve the flow of electricity, for example, in the brain, that's really exciting.

Can you share with us kind of exclusion criteria? Because I know normally if I have a patient who's got a pacemaker, I'm not going to put them anywhere near a magnetic field.

Just they have to be careful, notify the practitioner, That, hey, my pacemaker is over here or it's inserted here or it's inserted on the side.

And what I always do is I take a piece of tape and I will draw a circle around the pacemaker so that if the pacemaker is here, well, I can place a magnet up here.
