History of Binary Options: The Import in Financial Markets

Financial instruments are major driving forces in today's finances. One of them is what is termed binary options. Binary options carry a high level of risks when it comes to predicting the price of an asset at a given point in time. Binary options are essentially two in nature: the cash-or-nothing option and the asset-or-nothing option. Whichever way if at the maturity date if the price struck at is not reached or the security value is not attained, no binary payoff will be received. Digital options trading as it is conducted today is relatively recent but it's growing in leaps and bounds.

Over-the-Counter Period

There was a time when option trading was carried out solely between the issuer and the purchaser. This was largely due to the lack or deficiency of liquid markets where these options could be traded before they would expire. Besides, the official rules and regulations that were used before now hardly applied to options trading. These were therefore known as over-the-counter binary options. They are now distinguished from exchange traded binary options.

Here is the difference between over-the-counter trading and exchange trading. While the former bring into direct relation two parties, the latter requires the existence of well-organized structures and means of trading called exchange.

The advent of the Trading Platforms

The year 2008 was a turning point in the history of fixed return options. Indeed from that time binary options web-sites came up and stepped in to step up exchange-traded all-or-nothing options. This development was timely as it was within the spirit of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s decision to allow the listing of cash-or-nothing fixed return options. This was induced by the proposal of the Options Clearing Corporation in 2007 to incorporate binary options within its regulations.

Following the SEC's move the American Stock Exchange went full length for its first ever exchange-traded cash-or-nothing binary options. These were European style options. What are their characteristics? The major distinctive point of this style is that it can only be exercised at the expiration date. This is in contradistinction with the American style which may be exercised before the expiry date.

Emboldened by the decisions of the first two regulatory institutions, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) launched the same type of options in the same year 2008. However in 1973 the same CBOE created the necessary enabling environment for options to be traded. It helped but it was not all-encompassing enough. Besides, it was not open enough for many investors to find their share. But from there investment in options kept advancing till larger and stronger platforms were allowed to come up.

Additionally in 2009 the North American Derivatives Exchange (Nadex) also joined the bandwagon and started offering digital options. Derivatives contracted over-the-counter are extremely juicy: they attract low government taxation and make room for the payment of low fees. Moreover the parties involved can decide to tailor the transactions as they deem fit. Granted that the OTC derivatives have some known edges over the exchange traded derivatives, but Nadex understood the importance of keeping in pace with the dynamism of global finance which has so well accommodated OTC derivatives and given them a choice place in the world of trading.

If the global finance would live up to its name the Internet must be allowed to interfere in the way that binary options trading is done. Thus for a couple of years now many web-sites have been springing up and they offer online opportunities for trading.

According to recent statistics roughly 90 binary option trading platforms are currently running. They set the order of the day by helping to simplify the way exchange traded binary options are being carried out.

Options Payoff Calculations

There are two major perspectives in calculating the payoff in binary options trading. They are tagged vanilla options and exotic options.

In vanilla options the payoff is calculated similarly. Here the binary options are standardized in such a way that there is guarantee of continuous quotations. These options characterize exchange-traded contracts.

In exotic options the payoff is calculated differently. As exotic instruments there was no uniformity to the way the binary options were exercised. Exotic options characterize OTC contracts.

Growth Trend

The flexibility involved in binary options trading has made the use of these financial instruments to skyrocket in an extraordinary way. Many are excited at the possibility of trading without the compulsion of going through the drafting and signing of some not-easy-to-figure-out contract. This was not the case with the traditional trading pattern.

Indeed with over-the-counter pattern the investment bank and the clients agree by means of a contract on the modalities of the future settlement of a trade. But online binary options innovated by dispensing traders from formal contract trading. Everybody is welcome but then it will be wiser to come in treading with caution. You need to know the reputation of the brokers as well as the trading firm you are transacting with.

The Future is Here!

The Internet has launched us into that future that we all dreamt of. It has opened up more possibilities for investors in the financial markets. It does not matter where you are in your experience with option trading you now have the awesome opportunity to learn or improve on what you've got. The digital option trading has now permeated into several economic and financial sectors. The gaming industry is not spared. In the same vein the predictive markets is making use of the binary options. Fixed-odds gaming is running rampant on the web. It's got to do with political events, sporting events, weather and others. Technology is the driving force of the digital options trading. And as long as technology keeps developing there seems to be no restraining factor (except change of laws) to the explosion of the trade.

The attractiveness of this way of trading is a prelude to how bright the future of investors will be in this sector. They can still hope to relish all the benefits that it can offer.

Forex Secrets - Delusion No1 - Forex Currency Rate And Economic Factors Impact On Exchange Rate

The delusion conceptually propounds that intraweek and intraday FOREX currency quotes movement is governed by either improvement or by deterioration of the state's economic situation. But in reality, even in case the actual Forex news is superior to the estimated one, the FOREX quotes up/down movement is of 50/50 probability.

This statement is thoroughly important. Once the job of Forex trader is gambling on FOREX exchange rates differential (FOREX pairs up/down movement), the following is to be realized to obtain faultless profit:

FOREX pairs pricing mechanism (say at point X where you are completing the market analysis)
Factors imparting growth/decline to FOREX rates (up/down from point X).
Thus, having understood the FOREX rates factors effective at the extra-exchange (book-maker) FOREX market and the given currency motive factors, a trader must possess distinct knowledge of whether to buy or to sell the given currency pair.

So, what are these factors?

FOREX student suggest unambiguous interpretation of factors responsible for the price formation and the fluctuations there of:

Forex rate constitutes a demand-supply balance for a given goods (currency).
Any violation of this balance, (for instance, in case where the estimated news is in disagreement with the issued official one), results in the FOREX rates reciprocation in chase of a new demand-supply balance. Poor demand brings about decline in a certain currency rate, with a high demand leading to the growth of the latter. The situation continues as long as the currency buy/sell demand comes to balance at another level or at another point.
Referring to the B. Williams ("Trading Chaos 2" Chapter 1 "The market is what you are thinking of it"):

Each world market is dedicated to distribute or share limited amount of something... among those desirous to obtain it most of all. The market affects it by way of finding out and identifying the exact price? Underlying the buyer'/sellers' power absolute equilibrium point.

The above point is readily established by stock, futures, bonds, FOREX and options markets, be it either via an open auction or by virtue of a computerized facility. Markets spot this point prior to any misbalance being detectable by you or by me or even by traders at the exchange floor.

With this scenario holding true - and it really does - we are in position to jump at certain simple yet important conclusions as regards the information being circulated through the market and enjoying doubtless acceptance".

Thomas Demark was more laconic in "Technical analysis - an emerging science":

"Price movement is governed by demand and supply. Should demand exceed supply, there's a price rally and if visa versa, there's a price decline. All economists do share these underlying principles".

Hence, the role of fundamental analysis for FOREX market is readily apparent.

In scholar fiction one will discover roughly the following explanation, persistently wandering from book to book, from site to site and suggesting attaining successful trading at FOREX market by way of scrutinizing the country's economic fundamental data, viz. by tracking the factors reflective of the country's economy condition as below:

State economy condition dynamics indicators (GDP, trade & payments balance, current account, industrial production, etc. It is knowledge, that the higher the above indicators - the faster the economic and the currency price growth);

Stock indices, via average arithmetic index of the country's securities market condition and dynamics. E.g.: 0.3% daily DJI growth in the USA means that this certain day the shares of 30 leading US companies, being pictured by DJU, went 0.3% more expensive. By similarity, DAX30 is the major German index, incorporating the price of shares of the country's 30 leading companies.

The country's interest rate, since the higher the rate, the greater number of investors is eager to invest into the country's economy and hence into national currency strength.

Rate of inflation (the higher the rate, the quicker the National Bank will hike the interest rate). With this assumption, the CPI constitutes a key factor.

Money supply growth in domestic market, which fact brings about the inflation, leading to the interest rate hike.

The country's gold and currency reserve assets.

Variation dynamics correlation of: balances of payment, trade balance, state budget, gross domestic product (GDP), etc.

Trade and industry dynamics (industrial production, industrial orders, DGO, capacity utilization, retail sales, etc.)

Construction statistics (construction spending, new home sales, housing under construction, building permits, etc.)

Labor statistics (unemployment rate, new jobs, etc.)
Society investigations (consumer confidence, consumer sentiment, purchase managers and service managers sentiment, etc.)

To be considered additionally are the country's political stability and tranquility (clearly, any political, natural and other cataclysms are sure to turn investors nervous making them withdraw the investments from the country, thus weakening its national currency). And with the currency being the national economy derivative, changes in economic data will inevitably result in the above currency rate movement.
Conclusions:

Progress in economy results in the currency exchange rate rally.

Decrease in economic indicators leads to the national currency rate decline.
To sum it up, critical economic and political news (whose calendar is issued in advance and is familiar to any trader) constitute a standing factor giving rise to misbalance and causing the currency rate fluctuations.

In anticipation of important economic and political news FOREX pair crawl to the rates as inspired by the estimates ("rumored trade"), whereas upon actual news there occurs a pulse motion of FOREX pairs in accordance with the scheme below;

Forex rate grows if actual news are better than the estimated one;
Forex rate declines if actual news are worse than the estimated one.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THESE ABC BASICS OF STUDYING FOREX?

Do you accept that one can earn money by way of using these basics, known to every trader?

Then why, having absorbed these economic axioms, 90% of Forex traders in the world are losers rather than winners.

Where is the delusion of the above ABC truth, nudging traders towards losses? Let us perform sort of point-by-point analysis.

The currency exchange FOREX market is a book-makers one. It is gambling on rates difference without direct money delivery to the exchange market, except for hedging of traders' funds by Forex brokers, via buy-sell difference especially during strong trends). Then, http://www.forexite.com reads: "Trading is performed without actual currencies supply, which fact cuts overheads and enables Forexite to go long and short on the currency" http://www.forexite.com/forexite_advantages/forex_advantages.html.

Comment: Have you ever met any book-makers;

- whose logics was coincident with that of THEIR clients (traders),

- whose stakes were being made in accordance with THEIR technical analysts forecasts, economic laws and common sense?

And what extent of doubt and skepticism should be attached to THEIR free "recommendations", "advice", "surveys" and "forecasts", laid out at THEIR sites through THEIR analysts?

As a regular result, over 90% of the world traders are still losing their deposits at FOREX each time they follow Thomas Demark stereotype that "All the economists share these underlying principles".

Comment No.1. In as much as the above underlying principles are 90% contradictory to practice, it gives rise to the following question. Might these "underlying principles, shared by all economists including Thomas Demark" have possibly turned into dogma, alien to life and practice?

Comment No.2. What should a trader lean on: practice or dogma even if supported by great names, provided that the trader is purported at earning money?

FOREX analysts issuing their daily bulky market reviews are not FOREX traders in the overwhelming majority (see detailed discussion below). And on bringing together pairs 1, 2 and 3 there appears certain regularity.

Please, think over A. Elder words, that: "FOREX rates and the fundamental analysis are tied together with a mile-long rope. The fundamental analysis is ultimately decisive. But anything is likely to happen prior to this eventuality". Another, yet no less renowned trader and analyst, Bill Williams underlines the same mental regularity of an experienced professional trader (level 3 of his trader's skill rating as per "Trading Chaos 2"): "On attaining level 3 you emerge as a self-provided pro trader. You are always familiar with the market's basic, usually invisible structure. You no longer need to refer to others' opinions. You needn't read "Wall Street Journal", watch market-oriented TV programs, and subscribe to information bulletins, waste money on information channels".

Comment: Logically, there is a counter-implication, that if You are eager to become a successful trader, You are to restrict the influence of various surveys and recommendations on yourself even in case they originate from the world famous "Wall Street Journal", to say nothing of crude gurus in analyst skins who use to know ahead of time where currencies will go.

Forex news is a scheduled issue of fundamental data, which as a rule impairs FOREX rates a sharp pulse of motion. But then, why the currency rates movement vector is only 50% coincident with the ABC truism logics as to where the rate should rush in case of actual news being much better or worse than the estimate. And, please, make an attempt to answer the following question, stirring for every trader: why with the new being worse than expected (say, on US economy), the USD currency would initially fall by 40 pips (news work-off) but in 5 to 10 minutes it would swivel back and would display a 200-point rally, with no account to either the issued news or to common sense.

Below are some examples:

Fig. 1. GBPUSD chart as of April 1, 2005 after the news, positive for the GBP and negative for the US economy.
See Note below

In March the CIPS manufacturing index amounted to 52.0 (with the previous data revised from 51.8 to 51.6). Oil price in NYC has grown by USD 2.40 up to USD57.70 per bbl (new record of the latest 21 years). Non-farm payrolls in the USA was minimum since last July (previous data revised towards lower values). There has been a decline in the Michigan sentiment index to 92.6 (median estimate was 92.9, with 92.9 previously).

All the US indices faced a fall down. DJI at NYSE has fallen by 99.46 pips (-0.95%) towards closing at 10404.30. NASDAQ declined by 14.42 pips (-0.72%) to 1984.81. S&P500 slipped by 7.67 pips (-0.65%) to 1172.92. 30-yr US Bonds yielded 4.729 (0.037 lower as compared to the previous close). By contrary, FTSE100 has grown by 19.60 pips (+0.40%) to 4914.00.

Now, the question is to certified economists: what will happen to the GBPUSD within one day or even several hours upon publication of these data? You are right, USD should not simply fall down, it should collapse. Powerfully, swiftly. Well, well...

And this time, the same question to experienced traders. By FOREX news headlines You might have guessed that the events are taking place at the Friday American session. Correct. Initially, anyway, the GBPUSD chart will go up by 100 pips (news wok-off), followed by a pullback. Then Forex chart starts a new rally.

It is now to be tracked whether the GBP will breach the latest rally high or not. If affirmative, it will rush up by approximately 160 pips (Elliott wave 1 was 100 pips, while EW 3 is 60% longer). But if the high is not breached? The GBP currency quote will in no way come to a standstill, moreover on Friday afternoon. Hence, - down, to the starting point! And, if breached, similar situation takes shape but the counting is performed in a "down" direction (EW1, being the same 100 pips plus 187 pips from 1.8826 to 1.8759 being EW 3).

The FOREX day trading tactics will be given scrutiny in a separate chapter. A still separate chapter will be dedicated to Friday trade at American session due to its inherent specifics and to strong seemingly inappropriate movement. The movement is, of course, appropriate. To say nothing of Friday. But it will be touched upon later.

Now, getting back to the currency chart. As apparent, the GBPUSD pair movement on Friday, April, 01, 2005 is in no way in conjunction with the US economy fundamental data. Each forex trader can provide from tens to hundreds of similar instances, where the news are of a certain vector, whereas, after a fraudulent rush along the news vector, a currency applies reverse thrust.

Thereafter, the next day, in daily currency surveys, certified economists are sure to explain all to us by way of inventing another undisguised nonsense, like: "in spite of certain data, traders decided that the currency has already worked-off this side". But! How could this occur on Apr, 01, 2005, provided that the currency has been staying flat in a narrow range in the course of the whole of the European session?

Otherwise, another explanation may emerge, that forex traders were expecting still more inferior news on the US economy... But! By how much more inferior, if according to DJ, the US non-farm payrolls MA was equivalent to 180K, with actual being +110K, estimate being +225K and prior being +243K? And in what manner do these economists count up world traders: by capita, by countries or by the funds, lost by those, who continued staying long in a holy belief in renowned academic scholars postulate of FOREX rates being tied up to countries' economy statistics.

I wonder if I'll ever chance to witness legal procedures to be instituted against any of those famous scholars, so that no one would dare claim that fundamental data trigger rate spikes.

The same pertains to economists, writing about the way, hundreds of thousands traders throughout the globe have conspired to conclude that it is time to reverse the trends with absolutely no grounds. Is it really feasible?

Such reading-matter is, but hammering a single question into one's head: is it lie or is it stupidity of those cooking daily reports for taking traders for a ride, fooling them up and keeping them from the truth, which might be of great avail to them in daily trading. Traders are not a decisive factor, thus rates movement is in no way dependent on their will. Practically in no way.

Wanna check? Negotiate with tens of traders of the trading floor and arrange for a simultaneous entry long on some exotic FOREX pair. In so doing, try to push up either the NZDHKD, or the NZDCAD, or the HKDCAD. No need? I think so. You'll certainly suffer failure with the above, to say nothing of the EUR, GBP, CHF.

Another example:

Fig.2. GBPUSD movement as of May 13, 2005.

See Note below

This is an M15 chart of the American session, where the USD pair has grown by over 100 pips from 1.8583 to 1.8481 against the news, negative for the US economy:

Most indices have dropped down: DJI at NYSE - by 49.36 pips (-0.48%) to close at 10140.12; S&P500 - by 5.31 pips (-0.46%) to 1154.05. NASDAQ has grown by 12.92 pips (+0.66%) to1976.80. 30yr US Bonds yielded 4.484 (0.047 drop from previous close)

There is a fall in Michigan sentiment index. In May UMich was 85.3 with med est 90.0 and prior 87.7. So it was worse than the estimate, reaching the low since March, 2003. The index decline was being observed for the fifth month.

The April US export price index was +0.6% with prior of +0.7%.

Below are other similar examples of that same day.

Fig. 3. EURUSD chart as of May 13, 2005.

See Note below

Hundreds of examples may be offered, where the Forex news vector is opposite to that of the currency movement. Practically, actual news may happen to be superior or inferior to the estimate. FOREX quotes up/down movement is also of 50/50 probability irrespective of the above.

Why does it happen and what is the way for a trader to pinpoint entries and exits? This is going to be discussed in ensuing chapters of this book.

How To Become A Millionaire - 5 Tips

Do you want to know how to become a millionaire? If your answer is yes, then the first thing you need to realize is that becoming a millionaire is an exact science. By this I mean that you can follow the path of other millionaires and achieve the exact same results. However, for most people, the formula to becoming a millionaire remains elusive mainly as a result of taking in too much information from too many sources and failing to act on it.

The formula to becoming a millionaire can be likened to a cake recipe. If you gave the same recipe to 10 different chefs around the world, they will come up with the exact same cake. To become a millionaire, you need to find the right recipe and follow it to the letter until you start seeing results.

Getting a mentor who has already been there and done that will cut down your learning curve significantly. It will save you the trial and error which could lead you to make very costly mistakes that could wipe you out before you develop the momentum to bounce back.

Learn to see with your mind and suddenly you will see so many money-making ideas around you. Start each day by asking yourself how you can create value for as many people as possible.

3. Start thinking about working for yourself or through others

If you think you can become rich working for someone else, think again. It is almost impossible to become a millionaire as an employee. This is mainly because you do not have control over the sustainability of your income. Furthermore, a millionaire mindset in most cases conflicts with that of an employee. However, when working for yourself, you have to learn to get work done through others which in turn will leverage your time and resources.

4. Picture your success

Clearly imagine that you already have what you hope for, and that you have already reached your goals. One proven way is to practice back to the future thinking. This is where you imagine yourself as being a millionaire, and outlining the steps you took to get your there. Work your way backwards until you arrive at where you are, and then take action. This will keep you motivated.

5. Face your fear and take action

If you believe that you cannot do become a millionaire, then you are right. You will never achieve anything in life if you do not believe in yourself. Money is attracted to great ideas but you need to overcome your fear of failure to be able to pursue these ideas to a point at which you start making money.

Ask yourself how much value you create for every hour you spend working. This will help keep you accountable for your time.

Remember, you are your wealth. The Money that flows to you is just a by-product of your non-financial resources. That is why most self-made millionaires can lose their entire fortunes and rebuild their empires in record time.

How to Find Tax Lien Properties For Sale

Almost every county government offers tax lien properties for sale, in one form or another. The government seizes properties when owners do not pay property, personal property or income taxes within a designated time, and public auctions are held as a means for the government to recoup the taxes owed.

A person winning a bid at such an action can purchase a property at amounts significantly lower than its actual value. Every state has different laws and different ways for conducting such sales, so you need to do your homework if you plan to start purchasing tax lien properties.

Ideally, you want to learn everything you can about property tax laws, redemption periods, and other aspects of the tax foreclosure process. There are many books on the subject, in addition to a wealth of information available over the internet.

If you are looking for tax lien properties for sale, make sure you are attending a tax lien deed sale and not a tax lien certificate sale. A purchaser of the tax lien certificate is only purchasing the property owners tax debt, which the owner must now pay to the certificate holder, otherwise the holder may foreclose on the property.

The majority of the time, the property owner redeems the property from the certificate holder, so if you want property, you need to bid at deed sales. All such auctions are open to the public.

In order to find such properties, you need to contact the county where you plan to purchase. You can either call or in most cases visit the county's web site. They can tell you where and when such auctions are taking place, and can either provide you with or tell you how to get a listing of the properties up for sale. Often times the auctions are published in the local newspaper.

Once you get the list, you want to research the properties to discover which ones are worth your time and money. Of course, you want any such property to be worth more than the taxes, fees, and penalties assessed against it. You can find out such information as the assessed value of the property, and the taxes owed against it, in addition to the location of the property, and what kind of improvements, if any have been made on it.

You should go see the property, if possible, for you decide to bid on it. If you bid on the property and win, it is yours, free and clear to do with as you please. You may decide to make improvements on the property yourself, and either resell it, or keep it as a rental property. You may even decide to move in yourself, the choice is yours.

Finding tax lien properties for sale is only a small part of the purchasing process. This article has provided you with some basic information but because of the details and law involved, we suggest continue to learn more about the subject as well as the laws particular to the county in question.

Chronic Back Pain

I had been to three different physicians. The car accident in 1990 had left me with terrible back pain. The only option offered to me was prescription medication. For three years I lived with chronic pain - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The prescription drugs helped relieve some of the discomfort, but I had to stop taking them when I began getting sick to my stomach - which was often worse than the pain itself. Time and again I thought, "This can't be the only choice. There must be another alternative."

It wasn't until 3 years later that I heard about magnetic therapy from a friend, and decided to try it. With nothing to lose, I used a magnetic pad on my back during the day and slept on a magnetic mattress pad every night. Much to my surprise, after two weeks my back felt much better. After a few months, the pain was completely gone!

My wife, who had a back problem caused by herniated disks, woke up every morning with pain and stiffness. Not long after sleeping on the magnetic pad, the stiffness began to subside, and she was soon waking up pain-free as well.

Although skeptical at first, I was amazed at the effectiveness of magnetic therapy, and began to intensely investigate the field of biomagnetics. Since my initial experience, I have had the pleasure of helping many people achieve similar results, enhancing the quality of life of those suffering from chronic conditions and injuries.

Now I'd like to take the opportunity to help those of you who may be suffering from chronic back pain, and to tell you how to better prevent it.

Back pain is the number one form of pain experienced by people in the U.S. It accounts for 20% of all injuries and illnesses in the workplace, and is responsible for as much as $50 billion in diagnosis and treatment each year [1]. The National Institutes of Health estimate that 4 out of 5 Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives. Not a pretty picture from any standpoint.

The majority of back pain occurs in the lumbar region of the spine [2]. Here, most of your body's weight is placed on the lowest 5 of the 24 vertebrae (bones) that make up the spine. Considering all the other muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, disks, and major nerves that are also a part of or connected to the spine, it's no surprise that there are so many ways to injure your back as you twist and bend them [3].

Pain is considered chronic if it's recurring, lasts more than three months, and can seemingly be stimulated by any small movement (for whatever reason) [4]. In the 21st century, we're finally realizing that drugs and surgery are not always the answer for treating chronic pain or other musculoskeletal conditions & injuries.

The future lies in an integrative approach to promoting the body's own healing ability by using noninvasive, safer treatments. Acupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractic and osteopathic care, and certain physical therapy exercises are just a few options to help with back pain.

Following an individualistic approach to treatment is key. A particular therapy that may work for one person may not work as well for another. Often it's necessary to try a combination of treatment methods to begin feeling significant improvements.

For true recovery of back injuries and disease, pain and inflammation need to be reduced, proper function and strength restored, and further injury prevented [4]. With this in mind, let's discuss how magnetic therapy can help.

One of the primary benefits of magnetic therapy is the reduction of inflammation. Localized inflammation following an injury is a natural protective reaction. It creates an imbalance in sodium and potassium ion (charged particle) concentrations at a cellular level. As a result, fluid accumulates in the cells, causing the injured tissue to become inflamed. (Think of it as retaining water after eating salty food.)

If there's no intervention, the body will eventually heal itself and the inflammation will subside. However, this process can be very slow and painful. Because of this, treatments that can safely speed the overall process are needed, particularly in the case of chronic conditions like arthritis.

Applying a bio-north magnetic field safely rebalances electrochemical ion concentrations. Excess fluids and toxins are flushed from the cells and removed through the lymphatic system. As a result, healing time is often reduced by as much as 50%.

Since major nerve bundles run through the spine, it's obvious why back pain is so common. Pain is caused by an electrochemical signal sent to the brain. The normal electric potential of a neuron (nerve cell) is around 70mV when in a resting state. When injured, a neuron's charge becomes positive due to a shift in chemical ion balances. This triggers a pain signal to be sent to the brain.

Applying a bio-north (negative polarity) magnetic field lowers a neuron's electric potential, bringing it closer to its normal, negative state. As a result, the pain signal diminishes faster, and in most cases, will eventually stop.

Another important goal when recovering from back injuries is restoring mobility. Magnetic therapy helps relax muscle tissue, thereby increasing flexibility and reducing the incidence of muscle spasms.

About four years ago, researchers in Italy tested the effects of a magnetic seating system on several volunteers. Each person participated by either driving or remaining seated at a computer workstation for prolonged periods, both with and without the magnetic system.

"The results showed a decreased myoelectric (neuron) activity both at shoulder and lumbar level by using the magnet based sitting system for prolonged seated work tasks...The system appears to be an effective tool in preventing muscle contractures secondary to prolonged, constrained positions" [5].

Because it can be so difficult and painful to move, many people feel they need to rest for a few days after injuring their back. But did you know that bed rest should really be minimized or avoided? According to David Lehrman, M.D. (chief of orthopedic surgery at St. Francis Hospital and founder of the Lehrman Back Center in Miami, FL), "for every week of bed rest, it takes two weeks to rehabilitate" [3].

A 1995 study in Helsinki, Finland found that out of 186 subjects, those who went about their daily activities as tolerated had greater flexibility and less pain than those who underwent backmobilizing exercises. The *slowest* recovery was seen in subjects that were prescribed two days of bed rest [6].

While an interesting fact, it's one that some of us may grumble about. Bear in mind we still have to sleep and give our bodies a chance to heal and recuperate. As I found out years ago, sleeping on the proper magnetic mattress pad will help speed the healing process and can significantly reduce chronic pain over time.

Back in 1990, a 12month clinical test on the effects of magnetic mattress pads was conducted in Tokyo, Japan. The study, led by Dr. Kazuo Shimodaira, involved 431 subjects. 375 of them received full-sized magnetic pads and the remaining subjects received sham mattress pads for control. (Each magnetic pad contained 124 permanent ferrite magnets with field strengths of 750950 Gauss.)

Here are the results of the yearlong test:

On average, 53.3% of the subjects realized the effect of the magnetic mattress pad within 3 days, and over 70% within 5 days. What's more is that thorough testing for side effects was conducted and none were found [7].

(Note: The magnetic mattress pads used in this study did not produce very strong magnetic fields. As stronger magnetic fields are more effective, a higher energy pad would improve results even further.)

Supporting these findings, a 1997 Johns Hopkins pain center treatment study compared magnetic therapy for chronic pain with a placebo therapy. It concluded that people using the magnetic therapy showed a dramatic improvement, whereas the placebo group improved only minimally. Again, there were no side effects detected [8].

Since the vast majority of adults are not in "ideal" physical condition, the risk of back injury for them is greatly increased.

If you're out of shape and are planning an activity that requires lifting, bending or twisting, it's a good idea to take steps that can help prevent injury in the first place. Magnetic therapy is an excellent way of accomplishing this.

There are three primary actions that take place when using magnetic therapy for prevention. The first two are its ability to increase circulation and to relax muscles. The effects are similar to warming up and stretching before a strenuous workout. It's really the third action that sets magnetic therapy apart from anything else though. Magnetic therapy can effectively control energy flow along the body's acupuncture meridians (energy channels).

Placing a magnetic pad or support over an area channels the body's energy directly to that location. Increased energy availability, combined with improved circulation, significantly extends the amount of time that one can exert themselves before muscle fatigue sets in. In turn, this reduces the likelihood of muscle strain.

The combination of improving blood flow, relieving muscle tension, and reducing pain makes magnetic therapy ideal for treating back conditions and preventing further injury. While effective on its own, magnetic therapy is also an excellent adjunct to other treatments. Whether chiropractic, acupuncture, therapeutic massage, or another method, it can help improve and prolong a treatment's positive results.

The next time you're out and about, make use of a high-energy magnetic support or back pad. It's a simple and effective way to continue through the day with less pain and a greater range of motion. Trust me. Your back will thank you!

TIPS & GUIDELINES FOR A HEALTHIER BACK

The National Institutes of Health provides guidelines for maintaining a healthier back. Following these and a few other tips will greatly increase your chances of preventing further injury while strengthening your back muscles.

When Standing:

o Keep your weight balanced on your feet. Your back supports weight most easily when curvature is reduced.

o Don't slouch when standing or sitting. (Keep your hands lightly clasped behind your lower back. This improves posture for your neck, shoulders and upper back, and reduces muscle tension.)

o Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes.

When sitting:

o Make sure your work surface is at a comfortable height for you.

o Sit in a chair with good lumbar support and proper position/height for the task. (Use a pillow, rolled towel, or lumbar cushion if needed.)

o Switch sitting positions often and periodically take a short walk or light stretch to relieve tension and restore blood circulation.

o If you must sit for a long period of time, rest your feet on a low stool or a stack of books.

When lifting:

o Don't try to lift objects too heavy for you!

o Pull in your stomach muscles, keep your head down and in line with your straight back, and lift with your legs.

o Keep the object close to your body.

o Do not twist when lifting.

o Do not carry an object in one hand if it causes you to lean to one side. (Use both hands, or carry an additional item to balance the load.)

Exercise:

o Always warm-up and stretch before exercise or other strenuous activity.

o Following a prolonged period of inactivity, begin a program of regular lowimpact exercises. (Ask a physician or orthopedist for recommended exercises appropriate for your age and requirements.)

o Speed walking, swimming, or stationary bike riding for 30 minutes a day can increase muscle strength and flexibility.

o Yoga or Tai Chi can help stretch and strengthen muscles, and improve posture.

Everyday habits:

o Maintain proper nutrition and diet to reduce and prevent excessive weight (especially around the waist area).

o If you smoke, quit. Smoking reduces blood flow to the lower spine and causes spinal disks to degenerate.
