Burns are the only kind of injury that happens more to women than men and that is because most of the domestic chores done by women are on open fires, but more tragically often because of domestic abuse. Disabling burns affect men, women and children all around the world and more than 6 million people worldwide suffer from severe burns every year, that restricts crucial functions like walking, bending an arm or just functioning normally in everyday life.
MagnaPool received a phone call one day from a man by the name of Vaughn Livermore. Vaughn was in a light airplane crash over 25 years ago, which left him with 3rd degree burns over 75% of his body from the accident. His life forever changed, where simple things like exercise, swimming in most pools and even some oceans were not possible anymore as all were too harsh on his skin. Vaughn heard about the MagnaPool system and all the amazing testimonials and benefits of the mineral based water being therapeutic and gentle on the skin and body. Vaughn’s lifestyle has now forever changed since he installed a MagnaPool in his own home. He now spends hours in the MagnaPool water that actually helps soothe his skin and provides him a safe environment to exercise in. This simple lifestyle addition 'a MagnaPool in his own backyard' has given Vaughn a new lease on life.
