MRS – effect on animals and humans
Repeatedly, Munich police dogs faced health challenges of which veterinarians had no answer, yet magnetic resonance stimulation had proven to be successful. This observation was then shared by the author of this article with other colleagues who rely on the perfect health of their dogs on duty. The following amazing testimonials were then published in 2006.
Spondylosis – assumed untreatable by conventional medicine
The very first experience I had with magnetic resonance stimulation (MRS) was after exposing my 8-year old male German Shepherd to this treatment method because of an early onset of Spondylosis. Veterinarian examination revealed abnormalities on the dorsa vertebra 15 and 16, an onset of paralyzes, a hunchback and general stiffness. In addition, the dog was diagnosed with severe arrhythmia and noticeable tension in the entire rear body. Veterinarians recommended massive heart rhythm medication as well as medication to improve body tension and stiffness. (Spondylosis was untreatable). Each above mentioned medication disclosed heavy side effects. The remaining life expectancy with the help of medication was estimated not to exceed six months. I then decided to avoid all medication for the time being, but instead to take a good look at pulsed magnetic field therapy. Amazingly, the very first application had a considerable calming effect on the dog, who slowly fell asleep with little or no more body tension.
After using MRS on a daily basis for two weeks, the German Shepherd showed no more spine abnormalities. Continuing this treatments for the next six weeks, his arrhythmia improved drastically, resulting in no more need of medication. Since then, the dog received MRS treatments at least once a day, using low intensities with normal duration. Result: My German Shepherd was able to continue his police dog duties for an additional three years and since then, is enjoying a deserved ‘police dog retirement’.
Pain attacks due to muscle tension
When under physical strain or heavy body load, one of our three year old Belgium Shepherds experienced severe pain attacks in his mid spine and front runs (legs). This expressed itself by a sudden yowl, spine curvature, humpback and instant lame. Tests and examinations, including x-rays which were conducted in several veterinary clinics over a period of four weeks could not reveal any conclusive diagnosis. At my suggestion, the dog received two treatments with pulsed magnetic fields and surprisingly all symptoms disappeared. A possible reason for the severe muscle pain and muscle tension could have been a lack of muscle warm up prior to big physical work strain. This then could have resulted in severe muscle tension due to the bodily constitution of the dog which then also resulted in severe pressure on the nerve channel of the spine. This particular muscle tension and nerve pressure can be relaxed, improved and even reversed through the calming effect of magnetic resonance stimulation. Incorporating regular therapy from then on, the dog was totally free of all previous symptoms.
Hyperactivity and Aggression
One of our two year old German Shepherds expressed unusual hyperactive and aggressive tendencies without apparent reason. By now familiar with the mat’s calming and balancing effect on the autonomic nervous system, we decided to use this treatment method. Immediately, the dog appeared relaxed and calm. After the session, we continued to work with him. Colleagues and trainers, unaware that the German Shepherd had an MRS treatment, surprisingly recognized his changed disposition and commented on how relaxed the former troubled dog cooperated.
The benefit of this treatment method for humans
I personally experienced great relief in back pain and knee problems caused by occupational exposure to specific dog training and general police work.
Positive effects of MRS in the field of police duties and dog training:
Reduced back pain caused by physical strain during dog training as well as lengthy police patrol (sitting).
Immediate recovery from infectious dog bites and accelerated wound healing.
Quick relief in battling contusion, strains and compression caused through intense guard dog training.
Faster rejuvenation after continuous shift change including sleeping pattern improvement.
