Dr. Arthur Pilla has advised European Health Concepts of the preliminary results of a pilot clinical study at a major university, showing delta (deep) sleep is increased by an average of 25% when sleeping on an EHC mattress pad containing concentric circle magnets. Delta sleep is the deepest sleep our bodies need to stay young and healthy.

Dr. Arthur Pilla, a pioneer researcher in magnet therapy, included the pilot study results during an invited lecture on the therapeutic use of magnetic fields at the 24th Meeting of the Bioelectromagnetics Society on June 25, 2002 in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. This is the first time a clinical study of this kind has been reported showing medical magnets could significantly improve quality of sleep. "I believe the reported improvement in sleep quality could be related to the expected reduction in everyday musculoskeletal aches and pains by the magnetic field," Dr. Pilla said.

Many recent double-blind peer-reviewed clinical studies show the beneficial effects of static magnetic fields, including pain relief and enhanced healing. This double-blind pilot study adds to that, by showing time spent in delta sleep is increased by an average of 25%, while sleeping for one night on a European Health Concepts mattress pad, containing patented concentric circle magnets.

"Improving the quality of sleep is central to wellness...a good night's sleep is priceless," said Kevin Todd, president and co-founder of European Health Concepts, Inc. "We are pleased to learn that the magnetic mattress pad we have been marketing for more than three years to alleviate pain and improve circulation may also contribute to healthy, more comfortable sleep. We are committed to following this important lead through the peer-review and regulatory processes so all users of our products may be assured of all of its potential benefits for their well-being."
