Our Magnetico Experiences
Victor: Customers of Harvest Haven, who had enjoyed the benefits of using a Magnetico mattress, first recommended it to us. After watching a video by the founder of the company, Dr. Dean Bonlie, I thought, “If this product can do what he claims, it is well worth looking into, not only for those with problems, but for everyone.”
The mattresses come in three strengths: five, ten, and twenty gauss; I decided to purchase a 10 gauss mattress for a trial.
Within a week, I began to feel really tired, weak, and somewhat depressed. Having experience in alternative health, I comfortably suspected this to be nothing more than an adjustment for good—a detoxing perhaps. Those unfamiliar with natural health therapies might quit what they are doing at the onset of discomfort when they should persevere instead, seeing it through.
I called Dr. Bonlie, describing my symptoms. He said what I was experiencing was normal, as many people detox using the mattress. He asked if I had amalgams (mercury fillings). I told him that I had just had a dozen removed recently.
“There’s your problem,” he said. “When you have amalgams removed, heavy metals are released into the body. You need to get those out. The extra magnetic energy provided by the mattress gives the cells the strength to expel those heavy metals, which then enter the bloodstream. From there they move to your organs, such as the brain. That is why you are experiencing those symptoms. We get this report all the time. Because the mattress dislodges heavy metals from the cells into the bloodstream, we are constantly faced with removing them from the body any way we can. Mercury is a highly toxic and harmful substance that needs to be removed.”
Dr. Bonlie then recommended DMSA, a sulphur compound, which, he said, was the best thing he had found over the years for quickly removing heavy metals. It is not a natural product, so I was hesitant to use it. Upon researching, I decided I would take the natural route, even if it did take longer. However, Dr. Bonlie told me that only DMSA would remove mercury from the brain.
Because I wanted to take the natural route, Dr. Bonlie suggested Vitamin C, Kyolic garlic, and Super Chlorella. Since we had an abundance of frozen organic strawberries, I opted for them—a whole food with much more power than isolated Vitamin C. I also chose fresh organic garlic, because it is far more potent than processed and I am not always out in public—though my wife and son have to put up with me! Instead of Super Chlorella, I used E3 Live, a product we carry that is more potent, more effective, and less expensive, while providing significant nutrition and energy. I also took cilantro, an herb we carry, that is well known for removing heavy metals.
Within a week or two, my symptoms of fatigue and depression subsided significantly, but another problem arose. Having seriously injured my knee in 1971, and having the other knee hyper-extended (which my physiotherapist said would give me more trouble in later age than the injured one), I was suddenly in so much pain that I could no longer take my one and a half mile walks. The pain in my knees was too great, bothering me night and day.
I had been taking walks without any discomfort until using the mattress. I suspected that I was undergoing another healing crisis, so I cut back about 80% on my walking, and within weeks, my legs were back to “normal.” I returned to walking as usual, with no discomfort.
In listening to Dr. Bonlie’s audiotape, I discovered that his unipolar magnetism actually works on old injuries as well as new (and even better on old ones, for some reason), actually generating new nerve growth. My legs are now better, and if things progress, they will be much better. What a wonderful thing, that old injuries can be naturally repaired!
Some time later, I developed a third symptom. Under my left arm, a large red patch appeared in the pit, and a smaller one under my right, about one quarter of the size. In about a week, the red turned to brown. I called Dr. Bonlie (who is always available and willing to advise) and he asked, “Have you used antiperspirants in the past?” I replied, “Years ago, I had been using them for decades…Secret.” He said, “The magnetism is expelling the chemicals from those antiperspirants that have been locked up in your cells. The patches should disappear in a while. Drink lots of water.”
I asked him, “Why is there is so much more red under one arm than the other?” He replied, “One arm had better circulation than the other (which I knew to be true in my case). The one with better circulation was more able to repel or reject the chemicals from the deodorants while with poorer circulation, the skin absorbed more.” I knew that my right arm had better circulation, hence less color because fewer chemicals. I was convinced that this mattress was doing me significant good.

With these kinds of results, I then decided to try a 20 gauss mattress. In some cases, more is not necessarily better, but Dr. Bonlie tells me it is in this case. Upon using the doubly powerful mattress, I experienced renewed fatigue and depression, which subsided after a month or so, while I continued to use the nutritional inputs on and off as my body dictated. The discomfort in my legs returned for awhile, but now they are normal, despite my regular walking. The red patches under my arms, though they had disappeared, came back, only to disappear again. So the question that begs to be asked is, “If there was such a thing as say, a 50 gauss mattress, would I have renewed symptoms and reach still higher levels of healing?” According to Dr. Bonlie, that is so.
I am finding my fatigue and depression come in waves now while I continue on the strawberries, garlic, E3 Live and cilantro; but with diminishing duration and intensity. I have little doubt that this mattress is doing me a lot of good.
This entry is weeks later: I am finding better memory and word recall. I cannot say whether it is the mattress or what I am taking to remove the heavy metals.
This entry about one year later (Jan. 2007): No depression, no sluggishness, no discomfort in my legs and no patches under my arms. I am feeling great. And the bed always feels more comfortable with the magnetic mattress than without. After being away I am always thankful to be back in my bed.
My aunt, Lois, used a 10 gauss mattress, and within 2 weeks, her carpal tunnel was gone. She has not used the mattress for 2 weeks now and the pain has not returned. Ingrid, who also lives at the farm, has had recurring spasmodic pains in her lower back that she likens to labor pains. One day, when the pains came on, we prayed and asked God for healing. She immediately sat down on the 20 gauss mattress we have in the store and in half an hour the pain was completely gone.
Lois: I injured my shoulder this spring and decided to try the Magnetico mattress pad to see if it would help. For the first week of using the mattress, the pain was severe. I chose to continue, because pain is often part of the healing process. After one week, the pain was gone and my shoulder was much better. It healed faster than I expected.
Several years ago when I broke my right wrist, the left wrist was used for the anesthetic. This caused nerve damage in my left arm, and I ended up suffering with carpal tunnel syndrome for many years. After sleeping on the Magnetico mattress pad for two weeks, the carpal tunnel was gone.
I suffered with itchy skin, but it disappeared after using Magnetico.
When I sleep on the Magnetico pad, there is a comfortable calming feeling and I am able to fall asleep quicker and feel more rested. Without the Magnetico, my mattress feels harsh.
Sara: I had orthodontic work done on my teeth and jaw throughout my childhood and wore braces for four of my teenage years. The first three years of braces were not bad, besides the typical discomforts, but the last year was hellish. My lips and cheeks became allergic to the braces. I had a canker sore corresponding with every tooth in my mouth for a whole year. When I had the braces removed, the pain in my cheeks and lips went away because the irritants had been removed, although the shadows of the old injuries remained as scar tissue.
About three weeks after I began to use the Magnetico mattress, I had a couple of days where I felt like I was wearing braces again! The sores, which I believed had been healed, revived and pulsed as if once again irritated. It was a puzzling thing to me, because I had not felt pain from those sores for the ten years since I had the braces removed.
I did not connect the dots until I mentioned my experience to Paul, and he said, “It is the Magnetico.” Upon thinking about it, I knew it had to be true, for there was nothing else that I was doing differently, and I knew about some of Victor’s experiences with his mattress. I expect this is a very good thing, getting to the root of what could create problems later in life, if not now.
Besides dealing with my old injuries, I have a sense of getting out of bed in the morning refreshed and energized, even if I have had little sleep. I have also noticed that after pushing myself, and straining muscles, I did not hurt the next day at all, when I know that I would have been suffering otherwise. There is a sense of gentleness in going to sleep that I had not experienced before.
A word of caution
There are other magnetic products on the market, like Nikken, without the same benefits but with significant long-term problems because they are bipolar. Beware.
