THE
INNER BATTLE OF THE TRADITIONAL PHYSICIAN WITH AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD.

specialist in anesthesia and intensive care.
The intensive care unit and ambulances
are my home. Working for many years in a large hospital as an anesthetist,
intensive care physician and surgeon treating serious road accidents
at the scene, I have learnt that my work does not allow experiments.
If it is a matter of life or death, one must use the well proven,
all that is not proven and tested scientifically cannot be implemented.
This experience has influenced me as
well as the long studies which, in principal, are orientated entirely
on traditional medicine and, if at all, deal only slightly with
alternative medicine. In addition, it must be said that there are
charlatans working under the cover of naturopathy whose 'successes'
must often be repaired by traditional medicine with great effort.
No wonder that many of my colleagues
have great skepticism when it comes to alternative methods.
However, magnetic field therapy exists
in traditional medicine and is used in hospitals but only in a very
limited defined spectrum like improvement of bone healing processes,
in particular with osteomyelitis and pseudoathrosis. As a traditional
physician I am careful and critical but do not, like some of my
colleagues, refuse all alternatives, new methods.
Ten years ago, I was able to establish
the positive effects of acupuncture in the therapy of pain (a field
an anesthetist is always confronted with) and completed training
in acupuncture. At this time, I had my first experience with magnetic
field therapy. I learnt that, by using a permanent magnet, repeated
stimulation of permanent syringes will clearly increase the effect
and power of acupuncture. Only a year and a half ago, a magnetic
field therapy instrument, QRS, was offered to me. When I read the
brochure my distrust and repulsion grew tremendously: a therapy
used for over 20 indications which can be used at home cannot be
taken seriously. The range incorporated the general increase of
vitality, anti-stress effects and the treatment of threatening internal
and surgical diseases. This sounded too much like a mile cure or
voodoo.
However, I was curious and knew that
this low field strength would cause no side effects or damage and
I began to test QRS. Unexpectedly, it had an effect. The permanent
slight back pain disappeared and the repeated influence infections,
which I contracted regularly from my children, did not reoccur.
The entire family was ill, except for me. I therefore extended the
application of the magnetic mat and included some relatives in the
treatment, which again led to positive results.
A woman suffering from severe osteoporosis
who as a result had had several bone fractures, survived without
the fracture of her metatarsal bones when a marble Buddha of an
approximately 10kg (20 pound) fell on her foot from a height of
about 1m. Also her coxalgia disappeared after a joint replacement.
A friend with severe arthritis in her scapular joint who could abduct
her arm only by 20 degrees reported after weeks that the instrument
had no effect but lifted her arm to the level of her head.
These experiences induced me to study
the more intensively and in more detail. In the following months
I realized why the great number of indications are no effects of
magnetic field therapy are completely different to those of the
medicines of traditional medicine which intervene very specifically
at one receptor or synthetic step which leads to very specific effects
and possible side-effects. The main effect of magnetic field therapy
by using QRS is overall, including the entire body. It imitates
the body's electromagnetic waves; for example those caused by the
movement of the body (action potential of the nerves, depolarization
potential of the muscle membrane etc.). These low pulsing magnetic
fields activate in the old natural and evolutionary way, regeneration
processes in the individual organ.
There is much literature available
on basic research of the permanent and pulsating magnetic field.
I would like to restrict myself to some physiological effects important
in my opinion, which have been documented in various studies:
1. Blood circulation will increase:
The loaded particles in the blood stream will oscillate in the magnetic
field in the rhythm of the frequency. This will reduce the friction
in narrow capillaries and the flow resistance. The perfusion (blood
circulation) will increase and, at the same time, the diffusion
rate for oxygen and carbon dioxide increases.
2. The oxygen partial pressure will
increase: All studies stated a dramatic increase in the oxygen content
in the blood of up to 80%!
3. The cell's membrane potential will
be normalized: A general exhaustion of the body, caused by stress
or chronic disease, will reduce the cell’s membrane potential
which is usually between minus 70 and minus 90 mV. If this potential
approaches the zero level, the cell dies. A cell uses 50% of its
energy to maintain this potential. QRS, with its patented saw-tooth
curve enables the selective movement of protons (H+ ions) which
will then be retarded at the cell membrane. In this way, hyperpolarised
and the membrane potential normalizes.
4. Calcium influx into the cell: Through
the increased concentration of H+ ions in the membrane area, the
pH values will be reduced near the membrane. This leads to the release
of calcium from the protein layer of the cell membrane. The unbound
calcium flows into the cell core and triggers numerous reactions
there: Macrophages will be activated and therefore the immunology
system, the metabolism will be activated and nitric oxide produced,
one of the most potent vessels enlarges. In addition, cytogenesis
is stimulated. These four effects reveal the basic principle of
the magnetic field effect. Oxygen, our elixir of life, without which
we could not exist, will not only be increased in the blood but
also transported more easily, faster and better to the consumer,
our cells. The cells will, on the other hand, be stabilized through
the regenerated membrane potential and activated through the calcium
influx.
Through the activation and strengthening
of the cells and increased oxygen the body will be supported in
its fight against diseases or they will be prevented. The great
range of indications is therefore understandable because it is a
basic therapy that supports spontaneous healing process. The coming
years of research will be exciting, particularly if they enable
us to measure directly with the magnetic field therapy the ATP content
in the cells.
Worth supporting also is the purely
empirical study of the Euro-Institute because in a relatively short
period of time it can supply safe recommendations within the Field
of indications based on a comprehensive case study.
The QRS therefore find its place in
modem medicine.
