In the early 1990’s, and in the depths of a world-wide recession, my services as a landscape architect were considered a luxury that very few could afford. The small construction companies that my business depended on were falling faster than a row of dominoes. The sweet smell of success I had experienced through earlier years, had given way to the stench of redundancies and bankruptcy. I was owed thousands and had no hope of ever seeing a penny. As each day passed, another client would go to the wall taking a chunk of my business with them. To survive, I had to lay-off my own staff and get back on the tools. What a nightmare!

The coming year took its toll. I found myself right back where I had started some 11 years earlier. Only now, I was truly feeling the physical pressure of running a construction business. I had developed a serious back pain. Some days It was a real effort to get up out of a chair. Some days it was so bad I couldn’t even get up out of bed. It finally got so bad I could hardly walk. It was at this point I decided to have myself checked out by my doctor. I told him about the pains in my lower back and the pains in my legs. After numerous tests he diagnosed sciatica.

Sciatica is a general term and I wanted to know exactly what was happening to me. So he sent me to the local hospital for an MRI scan, which revealed that I had irreversibly damaged two vertebrae in my lower back. I was told to give up the physical work or spend the rest of my days in a wheelchair. Wow, I was in shock! The constant pain was with me for the next two years and I began to accept it. I just had to live with it and get on with my life somehow.

One day a friend called me to tell me about a new business he was starting. I asked him to come over and show me these ‘amazing’ products that he was getting all excited about. He laid out on my kitchen table, a number of wristbands and bangles and explained that they were magnetic therapy devices. He told me how they worked and convinced me that they really can help people in pain. At that time I hadn’t even heard of magnotherapy so I was naturally a little skeptical. Still, he was a friend, and I thought I’d help get his business going by buying a wristband.

During the first two weeks I didn’t notice any difference but continued to wear it, as it wasn’t making me feel any worse. During the third week, I noticed the pain had become nothing more than a dull ache. This was strange. Was it the wristband? Two days later the pain had completely subsided. I was hesitantly grateful but still remained unconvinced that a simple magnetic wristband could have so much power. Until I took it off. I didn’t wear it for a whole day and guess what? Yes, the pain came back.

This all happened over four years ago now, and I’ve been wearing a magnetic wristband ever since. Do I have any pain? Very occasionally, I may get a little twinge, which reminds me of the agony I had to endure on a daily basis. Would I recommend magnetic therapy? You bet! I’m living proof that it works and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. But don’t take my word for it. Why not try it for yourself. - dragonstonemagnetics.com
