fields of alternative and ancient medicine
In 2010, Gaya is introduced to different fields of alternative and ancient medicine. She first learns about the groundbreaking work of Biomagnetism from her sister and how a family member’s Lupus was cured with this method even though Lupus is considered “incurable” by Western Medicine’s standards. As she became immersed in Biomagnetism, she witnessed how her family, friends, colleagues and pets suffering from cancer, lupus, arthritis, asthma, infertility, digestive issues, kidney failure, depression, anxiety, back pain, migraines, insomnia, quickly saw results.
During her time in public health and working with the government, she looked closely at the pros and cons of Western medicine.

She observed the peculiar behavior and intelligence of germs within the body and how these respond to magnets leading her to a new application of Biomagnetism. Her observations were later supported by the investigation of a Biomagnetic colleague from Mexico who offered the scientific visible evidence of her own observations and applications.
