Can Magnet Therapy Products Really Promote Good Health? (Magnet Therapy)

Magnet Therapy

Learn how special medical magnets can actually stop chronic pain and help you live a healthier life without drugs.
Did you know that your body stays healthy through a series of ongoing electro-chemical reactions going on simultaneously in virtually every cell in your body? Then it shouldn't come as any surprise that magnet therapy products can work with your body's varied systems to ameliorate disease, stop pain, and help to promote good health. Powerful, focused magnetic fields can be used to stop pain by interrupting the firing of pain signals in irritated nerves. If you can block these signals, you can stop pain. It's as simple as that. Though of course pain relief is not simple to any of the 76.2 million Americans who live with chronic pain every day and who are begging for relief. Chronic pain is no joke. It costs the American economy more than 100 billion dollars annually from the medical expenses and the lost productivity of those of us who just hurt too much to work or live out their normal routines.

It sounds like science fiction to the uninformed, but if you understand how nerve endings work inside your body, it's actually pretty easy to comprehend how a specialized set of magnets can block the electrical signals that are generated inside your cells and then transmitted up your central and peripheral nervous system to the cortex of your brain, where they are perceived as pain. Here's what happens when magnet therapy products are used as pain blockers: the specially made magnets (composed of rare earth elements) are arranged in arrays with alternating magnetic polarities that generate a magnetic field of specific shape and intensity that prevents mineral ions of elements such as calcium, sodium, and phosphate from coming together at the cell wall membrane to generate the electrochemical signal that you feel as pain. Think of it as jamming a radio signal from a source you don't trust.

The really impressive thing about this kind of magnetic therapy is that it actually works. You place these special magnetic arrays at specific places on your body and you get pain relief almost immediately without drugs. Let me repeat that last part: this technique does not use pharmaceuticals of any kind and is non-invasive. Nothing is put in your body. The magnets are powerful enough that the magnetic fields they generate can penetrate your skin and go deep into your tissues where irritated nerve endings are broadcasting the pain signals that cause you so much agony. For people with sensitive systems or allergies to painkillers, magnetic pain therapy works like magic. But it's not magic at all. It's based on sound science that was carefully developed through many years of research using actual human nerve tissues.

It's almost awe-inspiring how effective magnet therapy products can be. Of course they must be placed carefully because where you put these special magnetic arrays affects their potency in relieving pain in certain regions of the body. But if you suffer from chronic pain conditions like tennis elbow or Sciatica, all you have to do is apply magnet therapy products and your pain will suddenly be gone. Think about it: you can get blessed relief at a reasonable price without surgery, and without using dangerous, possibly addictive painkillers. Now doesn't that seem like an obvious choice? If you're a chronic pain sufferer, then don't you see that it's time to think outside of the box and try magnet therapy products? After all, what have you got to lose? You'll lose nothing but your chronic pain.

Magnets: Friend or Fake? (Magnet Therapy)

Magnet Therapy

There are many fascinating and intriguing methods of healing available to us in Canada. One method in particular has had many people wondering if it really works, or if it's all in their head. Magnet therapy has been around for centuries, "curing" people of many different ailments, from backache to asthma. The topic up for debate is, does it work, or are we just imagining it?

The earth has a natural magnetism that is slowly being diminished due to electro-pollution. Electro-pollution is generated by TV's, cell phones, microwaves, computers and all kinds of electrical appliances. We are constantly bombarded by these harmful, man-made high frequencies and therefore we are creating a magnetic deficiency and in turn creating some of the symptoms we suffer with. The earth's natural magnetism is actually blocked by the vehicles we drive in, some of the buildings we work in, and some of the buildings we live in. Think back to the last time you laid in the grass or in the sand or even in the snow for that matter. How did you feel? Peaceful? Rejuvenated? If so, you witnessed the earth's magnetic force. By placing therapeutic magnets on or close to the body the energy increases the blood flow and improves circulation; as well as, reenergizing our own magnetic energy. When this happens, energy blockages are cleared and we will ultimately feel pain being alleviated and our sense of well-being rise.

People suffering from conditions like asthma, arthritis, different infections, inflammation, migraines, osteoporosis, sports injuries, and even tennis elbow, could find a satisfiable amount of relief by using magnets. Despite conflicting evidence, which is a major limitation for this therapy, patients should keep an open mind and try magnets for themselves. You never know, what doesn't work for one person may be a saving grace for another!

There are many different magnetic devices available. The most common is the jewelry. Necklaces, anklets and bracelets range in cost from $19 to $150. Magnetic mattress pads, waistbands, knee and ankle braces are also available. You may even find seat cushions, insoles and magnetic pet collars and even pet cushions.

Magnetic therapy should not be overlooked as a viable alternative therapy. It is non-invasive, has no side affects and many people do find real relief from real pain. The earth's natural magnetism is being depleted and we all will feel the affects of a diminishing energy field. Magnets should be used in conjunction with a sound nutritional regime. Nutrition and magnets can be used together in many different ways. One way is in a case like arthritis; nutrition is directly related. By switching the patient to a hypoallergenic diet and applying magnets to the affected area, magnetic therapy could bring some relief by increasing blood flow and minimizing allergic reactions causing inflammation.

Another way they complement each other is by enhancing the affects of one another. If you are someone who is eating a proper diet tailored to his/her unique needs to ensure his/her body is operating optimally, but is inside spending a lot of time around computers, or is in the vehicle for extended periods of time, or has limited contact with the bare earth, then magnetic therapy can help keep the natural energy flowing and his/her sense of over-all health elevated.

An Introduction of Magnet Therapy

Magnet Therapy

Magnet therapy, magnetic therapy, magnetotherapy or magnotherapy is a complementary and alternative medicine practice involving the use of static magnetic fields. Practitioners claim that subjecting certain parts of the body to magnetostatic fields produced by permanent magnets has beneficial health effects. Magnet therapy is considered pseudoscientific due to both physical and biological implausibility, as well as a lack of any established effect on health or healing. Although hemoglobin, the blood protein that carries oxygen, is weakly diamagnetic and is repulsed by magnetic fields, the magnets used in magnetic therapy are many orders of magnitude too weak to have any measurable effect on blood flow.

Magnet therapy is the application of the magnetic field of electromagnetic devices or permanent static magnets to the body for purported health benefits.

The modern magnet therapy industry totals sales of $300 million dollars per year in the United States and sells, often with explicit health claims, products such as magnetic bracelets and jewelry; magnetic straps for wrists, ankles, and the back; shoe insoles, mattresses, and magnetic blankets (blankets with magnets woven into the material); and even water that has been "magnetized".
