About Dick Wicks
Since 1984, Dick Wicks has been developing a range of Drug Free, non-invasive products, based on Magnetic Therapy principals. These products are now used by thousands of people all over the world. In 1999 Dick wrote his autobiography entitled 'Dick Wicks - The Magnetic Man' in which he provided a more detailed account of 'How Magnets Helped Me Beat The Pain'.
Magnetic therapy is fast gaining immense popularity and is starting to be commonly used across the western world. The word 'magnet' is derived from the Greek language: Two words, Magnes and lithos, are combined to literally mean "stone from Magnesia." Magnesia was a geographical region of Greece that had a high content of volcanic rocks that the ancient Greeks found would stick together or instantly repel, as manufactured magnets do today. Magnets were also once referred to as lodestones, the term being derived from the Middle Ages, where the lodestone, or "guiding stone" was used as a navigational tool in compasses by sailors at sea.
Over the past 10 to 15 years, magnets again have enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, along with the wave of other natural therapies offered around the world. Many people are choosing to try less pharmaceutical-driven solutions for their health problems, and although magnetic therapy is by no means a panacea, and requires ongoing study and research, initial results show great promise with thousands of people around the world already benefiting from a greater sense of health and wellness.
There are currently two widely accepted theories as to the effect that magnets may have on your body. The first theory involves the effect that magnetic fields have on blood supply. There are many charged ions in your blood, which naturally are either attracted or repelled by magnetic fields. The aforementioned action is thought to cause widening of the blood vessels in the area where the magnet is being used, which in turn 'draws' oxygenated blood into the painful area. The second theory involves the effect that magnetic fields may have on nerves and pain-sensation. Pain-sensitive nerves all around your body, 'fire' more often during bouts of pain & discomfort, sending an almost constant message to the brain which is then perceived as pain. When exposed to magnetic fields, however, theory suggests that these pain-sensitive nerves are inhibited and thus 'fire' less frequently. This is perceived by the brain as reduced pain.
