cations in the metro area.
The road that ultimately led
Ms. Jackier to Avishel began
with her activities to promote
business between U.S. and Is-
raeli companies. In 1984, she
founded the American Israel
Chamber of Commerce in Michi-
gan. While she is still involved
with the chamber, Ms. Jackier,
after 10 years, decided to go into
business "for profit, on my own,"
and thus was born Avishel.
Ms. Jackier's most recent prod-
uct is medical magnets, manu-
factured by BIOflex Inc. The
magnets are applied externally

to any painful part of the body to
warm the area 'They can't hurt
anyone," says Ms. Jackier, "be-
cause they won't burn like heat-
ing pads can."
Ms. Jackier states she has
seen a 90-95 percent reduction in
pain with use of the magnets "It
doesn't [get rid of] painfrom. dis-
ease ... but eases the pain dra-
matically."
The concept of applying heat
through magnets is 2,000-3,000
years old and has been used in
Europe, the Far East, Canada and
IsraeL But it is relatively new to
the U.S., says Ms. Jackier.
