My guest today is Ghanshyam Singh Birla, expert palmist and co-author of "Magnet Therapy, the gentle and effective way to balance body systems".

This hugely readable, informative and unassuming little book contains a gold mine of information on how the use of magnets cam help us restore proper balance to our bodies. It discusses the history, the science and case studies The discovery of magnetic receptors in the human brain confirmed what the ancient Indians, Chinese, Egyptians and Greeks always knew, that we are strongly influenced by the Earth’s magnetic fields.

Magnetic Therapy is used by 100 million people (including me) around the world with great success to reduce cholesterol levels and pain, increase blood oxygenation and enhance cellular regeneration, but this oldest proven healing system is still little known and underused. Our technological lifestyles, cars and high rise buildings, cuts us off from the natural stabilising, magnetic energy of the Earth.

Recent research has put this fact back on the health agenda by encouraging us to spend as much time as possible with our bare feet on the Earth as one of the simplest ways to rebalance our bodies’ magnetic fields and return us to health.
