Magnetico Sleep Mat

My Magnetico diary / review is at the bottom of this post.. (and also March 2017 update at bottom of post , I’m back on it!)

After researching magnetism and it’s potential health benefits I decided to try it out for myself. I’ve bought a lot of products over the years that haven’t worked so the decision to purchase this was well researched. The science behind it certainly made a lot of sense to me. I purchased a 10 Gauss core pad. If I have some success, perhaps I will upgrade to the 20 Gauss.

A simple explanation of how these work is that the earth’s current Gauss level is .5 or half a ‘Gauss’. So a 10 Gauss mat will increase the earth’s vital magnetism level by 20 times. The higher the level, the more optimally our billions of cells work. Cells are restored to optimal efficiently. Earth’s magnetism is slowly decreasing over time. Perhaps this one reason there are so many chronic health issues in today’s modern world.

magnetico review

 

These sleep pads are placed under the mattress, not on top.

They are not the same as many other magnetic type products that basically act as constant magnetic-acupuncture. Apparently this is not recommended because, long term, it stimulates the body in an unhealthy way. It would like having acupuncture all night, every night, and this is not how acupuncture was designed to be used. And there has to be a gap of at least 4 -5 inches between you and the magnets.

The inventor, Dr Dean Bonlie, has some very interesting videos online. Search for –  Dr Dean Bonlie Magnetico Beds for more in-depth information.

This is my journal:

23rd Nov 2014: I had been warned the first days and possibly weeks could be tough going and this has been proved right. My whole body feels like it is recovering from a workout at the gym. Some fatigue, weakness with a sort of numbness. Something is definitely is going on. It’s hard to describe but it’s almost like a full body buzz type feeling. Not a good buzz, but not a bad buzz. And I haven’t done any exercise or lifting so it must be the sleep pad. I wake up hardly being able to move but this clears as I get up and move around.

I’m very lethargic and don’t really want to do anything. I feel like lying down but I’m not sure whether I want to lie down on my bed and feel even more lethargic. My mood is good, it’s certainly not getting me down. I’m taking it day by day and doing very little else during the day. Certainly no exercise physical work, which I can’t do much of anyway.

I will consider using a heavy metal chelator, DMPS, to help clear any toxins released from the magnetic therapy. But certainly not at high doses as I have only tolerated a tiny dose of 5mg in the past.

DMPS can cause a lot of suffering all by itself so this isn’t something to play around with when you don’t know how powerful it is.

29th Nov 2014: I’m 11 days into this trial and today is the worst I’ve felt. My symptoms align with what I was told may happen, which was Weakness, Agitation, Fatigue and Tingling.

One thing is for sure – the Magnetico sleep pad is definitely causing this. It’s certainly doing something. It’s good news but also not so fun. I just want to lie down but I feel better if I keep moving slowly. I also do stretches and daily coffee enemas which help a lot. I don’t feel strong enough to go to my part time job which isn’t demanding at all. I can expect to feel like this for  2 -3 weeks so I hope to hang in there and manage. If I continue to worsen, I will take my 10 Gauss mat and put it under the bed which will decrease the strength.

30th Nov – Day 12: After yesterday, I decided to try doing a round of DMPS chelation to ease the detox effects. I think this worked because I woke up feeling better when I felt that I was progressively getting worse. I will continue to do the DMPS chelation ’round’ per Andy Cutler’s protocol. 5mg is all I can tolerate at the moment, so I take 5mg every 8 hours for 3 days.

Chelation isn’t something you just try without knowing exactly what you are doing because you can really hurt yourself. Search online for ‘andy cutler living network chelation’ where there is a lot more info. They sell DMSA, DMPS and ALA and are located in South Africa. DMPS also pulls out good minerals so those have to be replaced with supplements.

I feel that the worst is over with my new Magnetico but we will see what tomorrow brings. I’m happy with progress but there is a fair way to go before I can say it’s been a success.

6th Dec – Day 20: I can only assume that healing is taking place because I have to be very careful about how much I do each day; even more so than I used to. If I do anything physical, I feel the effects the following day. It feels like the healing process is requiring a lot of energy, and if I do anything else, I pay for it. So for the time being, I have to be patient.

16th Dec – (1 month) – Similar symptoms all month. Waking up very sore and stiff but clearing quickly. I’m flushing my kidneys with good spring water and doing coffee enemas most days. This helps. The flu-like symptoms are manageable but I’m looking forward to them decreasing in severity. I seem to have 2 or 3 rough days and then 1 good day which makes me feel like I’m dong the right thing. Mentally, I’m good.

26th Dec – I’m taking a break from the mat. It’s been nearly 6 weeks and I’ve decided to take a few days off to see how I feel. It’s been a tough 6 weeks and the heaviness and fatigue has got to me. I need to clear my head as much as possible and rethink my strategy with this powerful mat. Perhaps I will bounce back well – only time will tell. I haven’t given up on it, I just want to experiment without it. Maybe then I will replace it on the floor so it’s not so demanding. I’m getting very little done and always seem liverish / grumpy. I just need a break.

12 January 2015 – I’m still not using the mat because I believe it will just make me feel worse. So for the moment, I have no plans to put in back on my bed. I am wondering how after 6 weeks it could have made made worse. What didn’t help was that I continued to do things I probably shouldn’t have.

When my body was saying ‘rest’, I had a part time job to go to and there were summer activities like going boating that I probably should have said ‘no’ to. This has been the hardest thing to manage. Do I go boating and enjoy myself, but suffer for it, or do I sit and home and just wait for the fatigue to go. There is only so much sitting at home I can do before I get frustrated, so I find managing it all very difficult.

Perhaps the mat detoxed some toxins but I wasn’t strong enough to excrete it. Or perhaps I overdid things when I should have been resting more. I really don’t know. Hopefully I will regain some energy and decide to use the mat again. Without knowing what exactly is happening when sleeping on the mat, making a decision about what to do next is hard.

I don’t regret trying it but I’m far from convinced that it can help me. I would suggest to anyone to really think about how it could help before buying. And be prepared to give it months before seeing results. It’s very tempting to commit to something that claims it can do certain things. I believe in this mat and what it can do but for me, I need a lot more time with it.

March 2017 Update

Yes, I’m pleased to say I’ve been using the mat without any side effects for many weeks now and I’m feeling confident about continuing to use it.

It’s hard to believe I first attempted using it 2 years ago and I was so weak it actually was too powerful for me. In hindsight I should have put it on the floor and persisted.

After some intense gut healing work, I now feel much stronger and over the hump that I just couldn’t get over for 10 years at least. I’ve been enjoying this improvement for nearly 2 months so see no reason why I should go backwards. The thought of going back to how i was last year after doing over 40 rounds of chelation with DMPS and DMSA is awful. These chemical agents work well in most cases but can be too tough on some sensitive / severe cases such as mine.

I will no doubt be able to handle them sooner than later but will not be touching them anytime soon. I’m happy with some EDTA and clay/charcoal mix to soak up the toxins while i sleep. I continue to improve and will report back her in another couple of months. The Magnetico mat still makes sense to me and I hope it’s doing it’s job for me.

Perhaps if I’d been taking a binder 2 years ago I may have been able to tolerate it. I think it stirred things up and my body just could not process it at the time. I can’t say yet whether i think it’s essential to a proper long term detox program but time will tell. Hard to prove but hopefully I get a gut feeling on how much of a role it played. Like a lot of these detox health products, it’s trial and error.
