The
Myth of Magnets and Chronic Pain Relief!
30
years after discovering that magnetic field gradients
were the missing ingredient to inventing the MRI, Paul
Lauterbur won the 2003 Nobel Prize in medicine. Now
a group of neurologists at a major medical university
have discovered that the same magnetic field gradients
are the key to pain relieving properties of magnets.
These devices are now manufactured in Brisbane and used
by some of Australia's elite athletes such as the Brisbane
Lion's Simon Black for pain relief and fast recovery
from injury.
The Magnet Myth Explained:
Skepticism in magnetic therapy is widespread because
most magnets sold are the common bipolar variety which
do not produce reliable pain relief. Only recently have
health professionals, athletes and chronic pain sufferers
been using a new generation of neuromagnet that has
proven itself with its pain relieving ability. Called
neuromagnets because of their effect on interrupting
the pain signal travelling along the nerve, Q magnets
are a revolution in pain relief.
Quadrapolar or Q magnets are comprised of four alternating
magnetic poles within the one magnetic body. It is between
these poles where the steep field gradients are generated
that have the effect of interrupting the pain signal.
They only seem to work on over excited nerve fibres,
so by blocking the pain signal, the message doesn't
make it to the brain. The body is then better able to
regain normal movement and strengthen the surrounded
muscles, which is usually best achieved with advice
from a health professional such as a physiotherapist.
The main applications for Q magnets are athletes looking
for fast, drug free injury recovery and chronic pain
sufferers.
Athletes:
Athletes
are often subjected to soft tissue and other painful
injuries. For professional athletes a day or two drop
in recovery time can make all the difference, you can
read some of their testimonies
here.
Chronic Pain Sufferers:
Often
chronic pain is caused by an old injury where the pain
signal is left on the "on position" by hyperexcited
nerve fibres. Applying Q magnets over these offending
nerves can turn them to the "off position", returning
the excited nerves to a normal state.
20% of people suffer from chronic pain at any one time
and 7% live with debilitating pain. Chronic pain has
a significant financial impact on society, families
and the individual and destroys all aspects of individual
and family activities.
Physiotherapist Dianne Hermans has a special interest
in treating
chronic and complex pain and says when used correctly
she has around a 80% success rate when using the devices.
Now this needs to be understood in context, Dianne uses
them on chronic and complex pain cases, these are the
cases that have not responded to multiple treatments
and/or surgery, so the success rate is quite outstanding.
Q magnets come with a 30 day money back guarantee. We
realise that they don't work on everyone so you have
the added comfort of being able to return them for a
full refund. See

Love,
Passion & Compassion: By Tracey Stranger!
"All
you need is Love" sang The Beatles, "Love is in The
Air" sang John Paul Young and "Love Lifts me Up Where
we Belong" sang Joe Cocker.
So this Valentine Day on Sunday 14th February 2010,
feel love in your heart, hear love in the air (birds,
nature, children's laughter, a friendly voice) and see
love in the soul of every one you meet. "I see you."
Avatar
Love actually does promote good health. Loving-kindness
meditation has been used for centuries in the Buddhist
tradition to develop love and transform anger into compassion.
Positive emotions, compassion and happiness help us
to feel better about our self and others, especially
when we feel stressed or a little depressed.
Love, compassion and joy make our immune system function
better and help battle diseases.
Romantic Love is when love consumes our whole reality
and tugs at our heart. A dream-like state engulfs us
and we feel carefree and wondrous uplifted by the possibilities
that love can bring.
Passionate Love is when there is a strong sexual and
sensual connection that nothing and no-one is going
to stop. Passion, desire and intensity overtake any
rational thoughts.
Compassionate Love is based on mutual understanding
and shared respect. His Holiness The Dalai Lama says
"The true expression of non-violence is compassion.
Some people seem to think that compassion is just a
passive emotional response instead of rational stimulus
to action. To experience genuine compassion is to develop
a feeling of closeness to others combined with a sense
of responsibility for their welfare. True compassion
develops when we ourselves want happiness and not suffering
for others, and recognize that they have every right
to pursue this.
Compassion compels us to reach out to all living beings,
including our so-called enemies, those people who upset
or hurt us. Irrespective of what they do to you, if
you remember that all beings like you are only trying
to be happy, you will find it much easier to develop
compassion towards them."

Self Sabotage, Excess Weight : by Sue Lester from
Growing Content!
You
know that portion control, healthy food/drink choices
and regular exercise can keep you trim and healthy,
yet do you find yourself struggling in a cycle of diets
and over-indulgence? Do you catch yourself sabotaging
your best efforts? Very likely there are deeper level
(unconscious) reasons for this. Through my work with
a wide range of people, I've found these fall into two
broad areas: Self Protection and Self Abuse.
Once the deeper level reasons are discovered, it is
so much easier to understand your behaviour and make
those changes you want to see. Please read the following
slowly, with an open mind, paying particular attention
to those points which 'push your button'. There is a
clue there for you. Many apply equally to men.
Self Protection. In this category is the underlying
belief that being overweight is sexually unattractive
and therefore will keep her safe from unwanted advances.
This is common in women who have developed physically
before they could emotionally deal with the attention,
who grew up with stories of attractive women 'asking
for it', or who have been sexually abused. The fat is
seen to cover dangerous curves.
It can be an act of defiance e.g. "You can control the
rest of my life but not what I eat/how I look." This
is also common in anorexia, which also fits into the
self abuse category. Fat can be used as an excuse for
not being in a relationship, initially from fear of
intimacy, then becoming Comfort Eating through loneliness.
Comfort eating is to fill a hole in the soul.
Excess weight can be an excuse not to take risks and
fully live life. It can make you dependent on others,
binding those with obligations to care for you. It can
be an unattractive buffer when not wanting sex within
a relationship e.g. after the birth of a child. It can
be a protective barrier to conception and all the associated
fears of bringing a baby into the world.
Self Abuse. Excess weight, the failure of diets etc
becomes confirmation of their own unworthiness. The
beliefs are unworthy, unlovable, a failure. The fat
becomes an excuse not to actively pursue dreams or relationships
which would disprove those beliefs. It 'unconsciously'
creates disease to shorten an unhappy life. Also in
this category is the woman who stays with a possessive
partner who encourages overeating so she won't be attractive
to others, and thereby reducing the risk she will leave
the relationship.
I recommend you write down what stirred you up the most,
and consider why. Then consider what next steps could
you take, what do you need to do to support your move
forward? Sometimes bringing an issue to light is enough
to dissolve it, however if the underlying issue has
been present for a lengthy time you will find it easier
to clear with the help of a trained professional. Be
reassured that anything can be changed, if that's what
your heart desires.
A bonus tip for you: "Lose" vs "Release" If you 'lose'
something, what do you do? Go looking for it, right?
And how do you feel about 'losing' something - anxious,
frustrated, worried, guilty, annoyed? Our unconscious
mind associates the word 'lose' and 'loser' with negative
connotations, so 'losing' weight is also negative. And
who wants to be the biggest loser in the country? Call
it 'releasing weight' and notice the difference in how
that feels. 'Releasing' is positive, implies choice
and free will. There's also no expectation to see it
again!

Cougars:An
Emerging Phenomenon: by Clayfield Counselling!
There
is an emerging phenomenon, which in recent years has
challenged our accepted social norms and family values.
Many feel that once a woman reaches a certain age, that
she is over the hill. There is a belief prevalent within
our society that once a woman becomes divorced and there
are children, her primary job is raising her children
and fading into the paint work. However, with many women
divorcing in their 40s, there is an emerging class of
women embracing the notion of being single and looking
for love with a younger man.
An 'urban cougar' is a vibrant and passionate woman
who is ready to compete with women who are in their
20s, to snare a younger man. We've all seen it in the
gossip magazine, one of the most notable examples is
Demi Moore, who bucked the social trend and rather than
fading into the woodwork, found love with a much younger
Ashton Kutcher.
Characteristics of a cougar:
Divorced woman over the age of 40 " Hunting younger
men for relationships
Sophisticated, attractive and sensually aware woman
Generally women who are successful and have control
of their life.
Financially independent women
There are those who feel that women of this age should
be raising their children and focusing on their home,
however women have made it quite clear that they will
not be subjugated back to the kitchen and are now combining
caring for their children with finding love. Instead
this phenomenon will only grow, women are taking what
they want, and they're not apologising for it.
The problem with this is that many have a public perception
that whilst it is okay for an older man to date and
marry a younger woman, that it is taboo for women to
do the same. But why should it be any different for
women to take control of their lives, after all, love
can be found in the most unexpected of places. 07 3862
