About Magnetic Field Therapy
Background: Is magnetic therapy now becoming scientifically respectable? A double-blind study at Baylor College of Medicine, published in Archives of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (Vallbona 1997), concluded that permanent magnets reduce pain in post-polio patients, and the results were heralded in The New York Times. PBS’s Health Week and Time magazine recently reported on the growing use of magnets by champion senior golfers and other professional athletes to relieve pain. For decades now the Horse Racing Industry has used magnetic blankets to help relax muscles and increase mobility (good for pets too). Historically a significant component of the health industry in Japan and China, magnetic therapy is becoming a more and more visible part of the alternative-medicine boom in the United States and Europe.
There are two theories that are used to explain magnetic thearpy. One theory maintains that magnets produce a slight electrical current. When magnets are applied to a painful area of the body, the nerves in that area are stimulated, thus releasing the body's natural painkillers. The other theory maintains that when magnets are applied to a painful area of the body, all the cells in that area react to increased blood circulation, ion exchange, and oxygen flow to the area. Magnetic fields attract and repel charged particles in the blood stream is thought to make a considerable difference in the speed of healing.
You will encounter conflicting medical statements and opinions about its use in the public record, depending on whom you ask. Like so many other things; there are always 'experts' with opinions. But, experience is the most reliable account. Every 'body' is different. Very often you will hear doctors say: "Try this and see how it makes you feel". Well the reason is simple, there are millions of people and everyone has a different reaction. The same is true with magnets. Many people have experienced varying degrees of positive results through its use. The degree of relief will vary with each person. I know myself, when I take off my bracelets my pain returns. One can only try and judge the experience for themselves.
If you buy and it helps, you have gained relief; if not, you have a few dollars invested in an attractive piece of custom made jewelry!
