The last time I remember sleeping well without a natural or medicinal sleep aid is when I was a teenager. Now, I am 59+ years old. I have lived with Chronic Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple disc herniations, chronic nerve pain and arthritis to name a few for many years. I think that I got infected with Lyme disease as a teenager and have been sick since. The Lyme wasn't diagnosed until approximately 3-4 years ago. I believe that the Lyme disease is the root cause of many of my symptoms. Treating chronic long term Lyme disease is not only extremely expensive but difficult to put it mildly. I long go lost optimistism for beating this illness and settled into a quiet reserve of life with pain, fatigue and many other issues. JES Organics has been such a blessing for me, I can't imagine life without my mission. At times, I wondered given the poor quality of life, how I could manage to live into old age not sleeping and living with pain all the time.
Sleep had always been a big problem for me along with a host of many other symptoms. I try to be as alternative as possible in any treatment approaches as I believe that medicines while they sometimes have their places in our lives and in our health, generally cause more problems and should be avoided as much as possible. If there is a natural approach, try that first in my opinion.
Approximately 3 months ago, my holistic doctor recommended North Pole magnetic therapy for me as treatment for my Lyme disease. Initially, I took this information lightly because after all, I have been an alternative medical researcher for years and I hadn't heard much on this topic before. Then he asked me to read a book on the subject which I slowly got around to doing. The book certainly peaked my interest enough to want to learn more on the subject, to be honest, it sounded too good to be true! So I went to the library and checked out every single book available on magnetic therapy and also did a lot of research on the Internet reading as many articles as I could find. Every single book and article I have read has indicated that north pole magnetic therapy is beneficial for so many symptoms and illnesses. I also learned that the reason it may not be widely known is because clinical trials are extremely costly to conduct and often require private funds unless it is a drug backed by a big pharmaceutical company. Let's face it, do you really think that 'Big Pharma' wants to do clinical trials on magnets that would eliminate the need for many drugs.
So after months of researching and trying to find out the correct protocols for me, I am excited to say that my magnetics are on the way here, due to arrive this week. I feel like I have been waiting forever for them to arrive. In the meantime, 3 weeks ago, I ordered 2 magnetic pads. Today I can report that I haven't taken any sleep aids for almost 2 weeks now and sleeping very well. The north pole negative polarity magnets stimulate the pineal gland and melatonin production. I never liked taking the melatonin supplement because the sleep wasn't great and it gave me nightmares but I have no problem with natural production of the melantonin. This is just the tip of the iceberg for me.
In the books and articles that I have read, I am very optimistic that the magnetic protocols will change my life. This is highly unusual for me, a natural skeptic and someone that has tried many things. My doctor did warn me and this was confirmed in all of my reading that not all magnetics are created equally. It is crucial to get the right type, right size, correct protocol and good quality.
As my journey continues, I will be excited to share my progress with you. It is possible that I will experience some detox reactions during treatment and that is to be expected, I don't fear that like I did with taking medications in the past for Lyme as I don't also have to worry about the damage that the treatment is doing to my body because the magnets will not harm me.
