The Definition Of Natural Pain Relief-Natural pain relief refers to nutritional, herbal, acupuncture, and body electricity the components of which are intended to work synergistically to naturally realign and reactivate the pathways and systems of the body electromagnetically and biochemically. These modalities are intended to offer solutions to the problems of physical pain, and the non-optimal functioning of the human body. By merging the wisdom of ancient pharmacology with the biophysics of the 21st century, a variety of solutions which are synergistic to the body and use natural ingredients, are proposed.
A review of the over-the-counter sales of the above mentioned forms of therapy fails to produce evidence of the scientific basis for these results in a well documented protocol with a substantial sample size. What is truly missing in the literature is an explanation of the mechanism of action by which these various modalities produce the physical results.
Pain is defined to be a perception in the brain generated by the electrical and chemical signals started at the cellular level and transduced from the peripheral and central nervous systems and conducted to the brain. Webster’s new collegiate dictionary defines pain as “a distressing feeling due to disease, bodily injury, or organic disorder.”The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as “a discomfort associated with real or perceived tissue trauma.”
Research at Vanderbilt University over the last 15 years has validated the efficacy of the QuadraBloc magnetic field when properly applied directly on point of affliction by altering the charge of the sodium and calcium ions at the cell membrane so as to interrupt this electrochemical transduction of the action potential at the point of origin in the afflicted neuron. By returning this action potential to a state of latency this alteration of the electrochemical pain signal actually blockades the perception of pain in the brain. All of the research to date indicates that it is steep field gradient (the Z axis) of this three dimensional magnetic flux which alters the stimulation of the signal.
Recent Hungarian studies go beyond the research done at Vanderbilt on a Delta and c fiber conductivity to elucidate the impact of the steep field gradient on opioid receptors, further drawing the comparison between the use of magnetic fields and pharmacological solutions to this process of altering the perception of pain. The same Hungarian studies opined that the steep field gradient produced by the QuadraBloc’s quadrapolar array arranged in alternating polarity producing optimal static magnetic field for treating pain.
Regarding bracelets and jewelry, it is unclear as to how the use of different metallic substances produces a similar biological response, copper bracelet by example. The wrist, and specifically, the median nerve is a critical joint; it is the site of the source of the pain often referred to as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The commonality of this point with acupuncture is well known but not completely understood. This acupuncture point, P6, provides a location where nausea associated with chemotherapy can be controlled. By placing a QuadraBloc, directly over the P6 acupuncture point this sense of distress can be greatly moderated.
There’s no question about the benefits of a variety of homeopathy and alternative modalities for human health. Magnetic therapy certainly plays a role in the future of US healthcare. The entirety of the benefits of static magnetic fields and electric fields is yet to be fully understood.
