I mentioned magnetic therapy in my last letter: www.preventionforever.com/magnet.htm

I have received over 70 emails from subscribers endorsing magnets claiming excellent results for pain, healing trauma and many other problems. I believe them for they were not promoting the absurdly ovrpriced magnetic products from MLM outfits.

When I began to apply a large magnet to my chest (12 hours daily) on February 15th I have kept notes on my response to exercise. Each day I repeat the same routine, for five minutes, on my Total Gym; the one hyped on TV by The Texas Ranger.

I track the following data at start, finish and 5 minutes later:

The pulse rate indicates how hard your heart must work to furnish the proper blood flow. The more your arteries are blocked the faster your heart must beat to maintain blood flow.

The faster your pulse reduces after exercise the better.

While these limited statistics prove nothing they may indicate a trend.

Date     Before     After     5 minutes later
2-15-06     71     144             102
3-01-06     73     137             98
3-08-06     69     132             95

I do the routine soon after awakening each day. This routine provides an indication of the progress, if any, of whatever you are taking or doing.

It is vital that you do exactly the same exercise for the same period of time for the results to be meaningful. If you don't have some exercise machine or tredmill you can simply jog in place for a measured time. One should do enough exercise to achieve at least a 120 pulse rate.

I have also begun to measure my blood pressure before and after. I bought a BP cuff used on my wrist for about 30 clams. Works great. Cheapskates can use the conventional inflatable cuff which WalMart has for about 10 bucks.

Yes, a nuclear stress test would be a more reliable indicator but they cost a bundle.

I have never seen this scheme published which is surprising because it makes sense and costs nothing.

Now you can learn if whatever "miracle" stuff you are taking is actually producing results.

At times I am so #$%^ing smart it is scary!......hee hee
