The History of Magnetism
What Paracelsus already knew ...

Magnetism as a mysterious force fascinated people and occupied their thoughts even in antiquity. We find references to treatment with magnetic iron stones and magnetic rods in the ancient high cultures of Egypt, Greece and Asia. Ancient writings (Hippocrates and Paracelsus) report on the healing powers of the “iron stone.” Magnetism is thus one of the oldest natural medical treatments, one which can be applied in cases of acute, chronic and stereotype pain and a number of illnesses without having to accept side effects or other risks.

However, the systematic scientific study of magnetism did not begin until the 17th century. The mathematician K. F. Gauss in Göttingen worked out the scientific principles and developed instruments to measure magnetic forces. In his honour, the strength of magnetic fields is measured in units known as gauss (G).

So the earth’s magnetic field forms a protective shield; without it, life as known today would hardly have been possible on the earth.

Everything, including forces, has two poles. Plus and minus. Just as the earth has two poles. Polarity is a result of the complementary opposites, plus and minus. Plus and minus oscillate, create energy and thus life force. This begins with the atom, continues in the cells of our body and extends into the far reaches of the universe, which is filled with light and other oscillations.

Early man did not have technical electricity, and the body lived in harmony with the natural frequencies of nature. Our planet earth oscillates in the natural, extremely low frequencies, also known as ELF. This earth resonance has been measured at 7.83 Hertz and is known as the “Schumann resonance” in honour of its discoverer, W. O. Schumann. Man developed in this natural electromagnetic field of the earth in combination with cosmic rays.

The frequencies of the earth’s magnetic fields (number of oscillations per second) lies precisely in the bandwidth in which the electrical field of the human brain also works. The body should be subjected only to frequencies with which it can also correspond in a natural biological range. Our hypothalamus oscillates with the same frequency (7.83 Hz Schumann waves) as the earth’s magnetic field.
