Increase Energy, Detox and Reduce Pain with a Magnetico Sleep Pad!
Are you interested in preventing diseases and alleviating arthritis, fibromyalgia, heart problems, multiple sclerosis, ADHD, autism, migraines, chronic fatigue, obesity, circulatory problems, sleep disorders and advancing your general health, fitness and recovery?
Magentico pads are a revolutionary technology that mimic the magentic field of the earth. I think they are a fantastic way to approach natural healing of countless health issues and diseases and achieve optimum health.
Dr. Dean Bonlie is the inventor of the patented Magnetico Sleeping Pad. The basis of Dr. Bonlie’s theory is that our only source of magnetism is from the Earth, but now that this source is so drastically depleted, it appears to have a distinct impact on health. Magnetic supplementation is the only way to correctly restore the Earth-type magnetic fields by which our bodies have evolved to function properly and enjoy optimum health.
Differences Between Photobiomodulation and Sauna Therapy
Since the mechanism of action of saunas is to induce thermal stress on the body, you may be wondering, what exactly does this accomplish? There are several biological responses, which include increased heart rate and perspiration.
Additionally, when the body is subject to heat in sufficient amounts, it causes an imbalance in protein metabolism. This is an ongoing process called protein folding, whereby random protein coils transform into their normal 3-dimensional structures. This is an incredibly important process, and if dysfunctional, can lead to serious health conditions.
In fact, we have an entire class of molecular chaperones that monitor our cells for any type of stress that disrupts this process. Specifically, a class of these chaperones, called heat shock proteins, respond to heat-induced cellular stress. By inducing heat stress on the body, the resulting activation of these heat shock proteins leads to some interesting health benefits, which are very similar to physical exercise. Read More…
