Magnetic Therapy - Helping your body heal itself!

Magnetic Therapy 

Helping your body heal itself!

What do you do when you are hurting…I mean really hurting? Most people reach for pain pills or some other form of pain medication. And if the pain is severe, and they are unable to get relief, they look to surgery. But what if there was an alternative solution to pills and surgery? For many thousands of years the people of Asia and Europe have reached for a magnet to deal with their pain, yet, they are almost unheard of here in the United States!

Magnets, did you say? Yes, magnets! And to the advantage of us “late comer’s,” modern science and technology has taken this age-old therapeutic technique to a new and even more effective level. Today,magnetic products are used to treat all sorts of ailments, from sleep problems to mending broken bones, and host of other health challenges. It is very likely that there is a magnet designed to treat what ails you…whatever it is that ails you.

Historical uses for Magnets:

• Magnets are being used to help the body heal broken bones andmend soft tissue injuries and are also great for osteoporosis, asthma, and for the toxic effects of chemotherapy
• Magnets can reduce the discomfort of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, tennis elbow and wrist pain caused from tendonitis
• Magnets help relieve the agony of back injuries (especially the super-mini’s and back flex magnets)
• Magnets can help you relax for a more restful, sound sleep
• Magnets can help your body heal itself! There have been a huge amount of studies done over the years having to do with diabetics.Magnetic insoles have saved many a foot from being amputated
• 70-80% of people with arthritic pain are helped with magnets
• And, my personal favorite use, for trigger point release causingheadaches and tight shoulders

In one controlled study, 76% of post-polio syndrome patients treated with magnets got pain relief, whereas only 18% treated with placebos had diminished pain.

Magnetic therapy has personally helped with back pain, achy muscles and joints and I feel it’s wonderfully grounding and relaxing. I’m a high-energy type of person. When I go away on a trip and am away from my own magnetic sleep system for more than two days, I really can feel the difference. I just feel frazzled and my immune system is weakened. I will have to tell you that we used to own a magnetic mattress but it was so hard that we got rid of it. We tried the softer version but it didn’t hold up. We now have the Far Infrared Comforter that has the magnets in it and we use that year-round.

Magnetic Therapy has been researched and tested at some of the most prestigious medical schools and by world-renowned scientists and physicians for many years. These studies show that magnetic therapy accelerates the healing time of soft tissue injuries as well as broken bones–up to 150 times faster! Magnetic therapy is used by some physicians to speed up healing after surgery, by athletes for injuries, and by a large and growing, number of individuals to treat a wide variety of common chronic ailments. It’s recommended that you do NOT use magnetic energy until after the body has healed enough so that there is no risk of bleeding as researchers feel it increases the circulation to the organs.

How Magnets Work:

The body was designed to operate optimally against the backdrop of the earth’s natural magnetic field. However, today the earth’s magnetic field has waned and we are surrounded by sources of electromagnetism that no life form has ever been exposed to before. For example, household appliances emanate 60Hz fields, AC currents (electric smog) produced from televisions, radio, radar, electric blankets, water bed heaters, x-rays, microwave ovens, telephone and power lines and other sources disrupt our normal electrical makeup of the nervous system.

Possible diseases from being around electromagnatism include:

• Chronic fatigue
• Fibromyalgia
• Headache
• Cancer
• Disruption of digestion and circulation
• Stiff muscles
• Dizziness
• Insomnia
• Back/neck/shoulder pain
• Chest pain and
• Habitual constipation

While scientists and physicians may have differing theories for how magnetic therapy actually works, they seem to agree that it is the combination of increased oxygenation and blood flow that is at its core cause of effectiveness.

Considering that most disease is either a function of toxicity or deficiency, improved circulation would surely benefit our health. Because magnetic products increase blood flow, they allow the body’s own healing processes to be accelerated, as increased concentrations of oxygen and other vital nutrients are delivered to the cells.

Every illness is a sign that the cells have been deprived of energy, oxygen, and nutrition or that there is a buildup of toxins. When this occurs, the cell’s defense mechanism is weakened. Magnetic Therapy removes these blockages that get in the way of normal, natural healing, and helps your body to heal itself.

Magnets are non-invasive, reasonably priced and, in many instances, highly effective. These days, more and more people are reaching out to the time-proven healing techniques of the past. All holistic treatment modalities have one thing in common; they take all the processes of nature into account. Magnetic therapy, much like acupuncture, reestablishes order in the energy system and thereby allows healing to take place.

These easy-to-apply magnets enable anyone to target a specific area of their body and start stimulating the healing process immediately. Anyone, even small children, can learn to apply a magnetic pad just as they have learned to apply a Band-Aid.

Magnetic strength is measured in gauss units. Scientific studies show that each particular area of the body responds to slightly different gauss strengths. Because of this, you can be assured that the magnet you put on is always working, but it might not be effective because you haven’t figured out which strength you need.

Are there any contraindications for Magnetic Therapy?

Yes. Those people with these conditions should not use magnets:

• Cochlear implants
• Pacemakers
• Implanted Pain Modulators
• Insulin Pumps
• Pregnant women
• Bipolar patients should not use magnetic mattresses
• Open wounds–Magnets decrease the platelet stickiness so can interfere with the clotting process
• Withhold Magnetic Therapy on sprains or hematomas during the first 24-48 hours
