History
No-Question!
BC. 4000
For almost 6000 years, magnets have been used in China for energizing — approximately 2000 years earlier than the advent of acupuncture.
460-377 BC AD. 130 Hippocrates
The Greek physician Hippocrates (460-377 BC) and the Roman physicians Dioscorides and Claudius Galenos (130 AD) all knew about the power of magnets and reported on the healing power of “iron”.
980-1037 Ibn Sina
The Islamic physician Ibn Sina (Latin name Avicenna) treated depression using the power of magnets.
1493-1541 Paracelsus
Paracelsus, who was the most famous physician of his time, was very interested in the healing power of magnetic energy. He was the first to attach great importance to the concept of “polarity” in his treatments, and used it in the context of the treatment he was administering, the positive or negative pole.
1544-1603 William Gilbert
In 1600, William Gilbert – court physician to Queen Elizabeth I of England – published De Magnete, Magnetisque Corporibus et De Magno Magnete Tellure.
1737-1798 Luigi Galvani
Luigi Galvani is credited with, among other things, experiments to create an artificial magnetic field and its use in medicine.
1734-1815 Dr Franz Anton Mesmer
Dr. Franz Anton Mesmer, a physician influenced by Maximilian Hell, was the first person in Europe to introduce magnetotherapy – mesmerism. He theorized that magnetism mediates the forces of nature between the human body and nature by acting on the nerves, and it fills the whole universe.
1745-1827 Alexander Volta
The Italian scientist Alexander Volta
investigated the interaction between body fluid chemistry and bioelectrical processes. The most important insight from his experiments, from today’s perspective, is that the metabolic processes that underlie muscle movement are controlled by electrical charges generated by our bodies.
1813-1878 Claude Bernard
The French physiologist Claude Bernard introduced the theory of the internal environment of the living organism, thus establishing the theory of homeostasis.
1828-1905 Dr Edwin D. Babbitt
Dr. Edwin D. Babbitt focused on the atomic theory of light and the basic principle of colour. In 1878, he drew the electromagnetic waves around the head.
1853-1948 Eugen Konrad Müller
Swiss electrical engineer, Eugen Konrad Müller, created an electromagnetic machine called the Radiator. In 1899, with the help of a physician, Dr. Palmyro Rodari, Müller successfully cured pain, rheumatism, asthma, phlebitis, sleep problems and gout with the “Konrad Müller machine” in his own institute.
1859-1906 Pierre Curie
The French physicist, Pierre Curie, discovered the principle of piezoelectricity — the ability of crystals to give off a current under a certain amount of pressure or strain.
1867-1941 Hans Driesch
By the end of the 1800s, the German embryologist, Hans Driesch, following in the footsteps of Réaumur, Trembley, Bonnet, Spallanzani, Weismann, Schwann, Schneider, Bütschli and Roux, developed a comprehensive picture of the most important activities of the organism and formulated it in a unified field theory. This is the first formulation of the morphogenetic field.
1871-1945 Walter Bradford Canon
Walter Bradford Canon published The Wisdom of the Body in 1932, in which he presents his theory of homeostasis.
1874-1954 Alexander Gavrilovic Gurvics
In 1923, Aleksander Gavrilovich Gurvich discovered mitogenetic radiation, the electromagnetic radiation that triggers and characterizes the phenomenon of cell division.
Its essential characteristics are the same for all tissue types. From then on, the electromagnetic communication between cells became measurable. Later, the accurate detection of Gurvic rays was achieved (Inaba, 1988; Motohiro, 2004).
1893. Oscar Gleichmann MD
The first medical application of the pulsed magnetic field. Gleichmann researched the therapeutic effects of these magnetic fields for a long time, and in the late 1960s, he presented a therapeutic device that used a pulsed magnetic field generated by electricity.
1898-1988 Isidor Isaac Rabi
Rabi developed a method of measurement based on the magnetic resonance of nuclei, which he used to determine the magnetic moment of the proton in 1934. Rabi’s method has provided the basis for many new measurement techniques. In 1944, he was awarded the Nobel Prize, confirming Pauli’s hypothesis about the magnetic moment of nuclei.
1900-1958 Wolfgang Pauli
In 1924, the leading mind in quantum mechanics, the Austrian-born, Wolfgang Pauli, created Pauli’s exclusion principle. A year later, Uhlenbeck and Goudsmit identified this degree of freedom with the spin of the electron.
1901-1994 Linus C. Pauling
Two-time, Nobel Prize-winning, American scientist Linus C. Pauling demonstrated that the iron-containing red blood cell, haemoglobin, contains magnetic properties.
In 1954, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this discovery, among others.
After his retirement in 1974, he founded the Institute of Orthomolecular Medicine in Palo Alto, California (now the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine), where he worked on the problem of disease prevention and vitamin and mineral consumption.
1915-1984 Albert Roy Davis
Together with his partner Walter C. Rawls, Jr. (1928-2009), Davis studied magnet therapy in great depth, proving its healing effects in thousands of repeated experiments. Their work led them to the conclusion that healthy cells are surrounded by a neutral electromagnetic shell. Changing the bioelectric charge of the cell membrane leads to genetic abnormalities, abnormal development and eventually, if not helped from the outside, death. Their first book, Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System, was published in 1974.
1922-2004 Dr William Ross Adey
By the late 1970s, Professor Ross Adey’s research team had identified and precisely defined the signal ranges in which specific electromagnetic signals optimize specific functions of the body. Adey’s group led research at the US Air Force and Loma Linda University. Adey studied the adaptive abilities of pilots and other soldiers in extreme situations, and after more than 20 years of consistent work, he was able to describe the electromagnetic communication domains responsible for controlling specific metabolic processes in the nervous system, which he later called “biological windows.” That term is still used today.
1923 – 2008 Robert Otto Becker
R. O. Becker was the first to measure the electrical processes that occur in wounds and in the various phases of wound healing, investigating the processes of dedifferentiation and redifferentiation. Following Becker’s 1961 report on wound healing, Dr. C. Andrew L. Bassett, (with Becker’s collaboration) at Columbia University (New York) and Becker at the US Army Hospital in Syracuse, New
York State) started electrical treatments specific to bone metabolism. These studies have demonstrated that therapeutic signals are most effective for specific regeneration processes in the so-called “extreme-low-intensity” range.
The first Becker-Bassett joint publication appeared in Nature in 1962. It found that the signals used are effective within a certain range and that these ranges are cell- and tissue-specific, and can be narrower or wider, depending on, among other things, the age of the individual and other metabolic parameters. The Becker-Bassett research team first used the term “window” for these intensity ranges back in 1966. Becker summarized his research in his book The Elecromagnetic Body, published in 1985.
1924-1994 C. Andrew L. Bassett
In 1971 at Columbia University, Basset, Pilla, Menning and Cochran created the first external coil device. In 1978, after 20 years of research, Bassett published his work on healing limb fractures with pulsed electromagnets. In 1979, his external coil device was the first to be approved by the FDA. His devices have been used on more than 100,000 people with leg fractures.
1938- Dr Fritz Albert Popp
By the mid-1970s, the Max Planck Institute, in West Germany, had succeeded in producing measuring instruments capable of detecting emitted photons, cell-by-cell. This was the start of our ability to precisely map the body’s electromagnetic activity.
The first summaries of this international research project were published in 1984 and 1989 in the books The Biology of Light and Coherent Photon Storage in Biological Systems — both by Popp, the project leader. Popp is also one of the authors and editors of a third book on the same subject, that summarises relevant research from various universities.
The electromagnetic activities of human and animal organisms, including environmental adaptation processes, and the operating mechanisms of the main information bands, are discussed in Springer’s book, Electromagnetic Biocommunication, published in 1989.
