MAGNETICS CAN STRENGTHEN THE MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF OUR BLOOD AND OXYGENATE OR INCREASE THE OXYGEN BROUGHT TO THE INDIVIDUAL CELLS IN OUR BODIES.


IN MAY OF 1989, THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA) AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TULSA CAME TOGETHER TO SPONSOR WHAT WOULD BE THE FIRST CONFERENCE ON EMERGING ELECTROMAGNETIC MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY. THIS BROUGHT MANY RESEARCHERS, PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SPECIALISTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TOGETHER TO DISCUSS AND SHARE THEIR INFORMATION ON THE THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS OF MAGNETIC THERAPY.

NASA HAS ALSO BEEN ON THE FOREFRONT OF THIS TECHNOLOGY, PERFORMING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE HUMAN RESPONSE TO MAGNETIC FIELDS.CONCERNED ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF THE LACK OF GRAVITY ON BONE STRUCTURE, NASA BEGAN IMPLEMENTING THE USE OF MAGNETIC FIELDS TO COMBAT BONE LOSS.

TWO STUDIES STAND OUT AS RESEARCH ON THE PAIN RELIEVING BENEFITS OF MAGNETIC. ONE IS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA SCHOOL OF NURSING. MAGNETIC MATTRESS PADS WERE GIVEN TO A GROUP OF PATIENTS WITH FIBROMYALGIA. THE MUSCLE PAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS CONDITION OFTEN MAKES ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET RESTFUL SLEEP. USING A CONTROL GROUP WHICH DID NOT RECEIVE THE PADS, THE STUDY FOUND THAT THE GROUP THAT DID RECEIVE THE PADS HAD A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN PAIN LEVELS AS COMPARED TO THOSE PATIENTS IN THE CONTROL GROUP.

BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, BAYLOR UNIVERSITY IN HOUSTON STUDIED THE EFFECTS OF USING MAGNETICS ON POST-POLIO PATIENTS WHO HAD MUSCLE PAIN. THIS WAS A DOUBLE-BLIND STUDY IN WHICH BOTH GROUPS WERE GIVEN MAGNETS. ONLY ONE GROUP HAD REAL MAGNETS, THE OTHER GROUP RECEIVED FAKE ONES THAT HAD NO MAGNETIC PROPERTIES. THE GROUP WHICH HAD THE REAL MAGNETS APPLIED TO PAINFUL AREAS REPORTED SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN PAIN. SOME AFTER ONLY 45 MINUTES OF APPLICATION.

THE HUMAN BODY DOES RESPOND TO MAGNETS. VERY QUICKLY IN SOME CASES. AS ONE DOCTOR OF DENTISTRY WHO ALSO HAS BEEN AN ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR IN ORTHODONTICS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY'S SCHOOL OF DENTAL AND ORAL SURGERY HAS STATED, "THERE ARE MORE AND MORE USES OF IT [MAGNETIC THERAPY] BEING PROMOTED WITH GOOD SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND."

ANOTHER STUDY WAS DONE BY TREATING DIABETICS WHO HAD NEUROPATHY, A CONDITION WHICH CAUSES INTENSE NERVE PAIN IN THE FEET. THE NEUROLOGIST WHO COORDINATED THE STUDY, DR. MICHAEL WEINTRAUB, REPORTED THAT MUCH OF THE TINGLING, BURNING AND NUMBNESS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS CONDITION WAS RELIEVED BY MAGNETICS. " IT CLEARLY SHOWS, "SAID DR. WEINTRAUB, " THAT MAGNETS WORK. IT'S A REAL RESPONSE."

AS INCREASING NUMBERS OF THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY BECOME BELIEVERS IN THE POWER OF MAGNETICS, EVEN LARGER NUMBERS OF PEOPLE ARE USING THEM WITH GREAT RESULTS. THE CONTROVERSY REMAINS HOWEVER ABOUT HOW THEY ACTUALLY WORK.

WE HERE ARE DOCTOROY.COM ARE CONFIDENT THAT THIS INFORMATION WILL BECOME MORE AVAILABLE AS TIME GOES. WE BELIEVE THAT IT STARTS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL CELL AND THAT THE HEALTH OF OUR BODIES BEGINS THERE AS WELL.

OUR BLOOD CONTAINS FERROUS HEMOGLOBIN OR IRON THAT FUNCTIONS AS A CARRIER OF OXYGEN AND CARBON DIOXIDE. IN THE PROCESS OF BLOOD CIRCULATING THROUGH THE LUNGS, FULLY MAGNETIZED FERROUS HEMOGLOBIN IS ABLE TO TRANSPORT MORE OXYGEN TO CELL TISSUE AND TAKE MORE CARBON DIOXIDE WASTE FROM THE CELL BACK TO THE LUNGS FOR REMOVAL. THIS OXYGEN PROCESSING BY THE CELLS IN OUR BODIES IS CRITICAL TO OUR GENERAL HEALTH. INCREASED OXYGEN TO THE CELLS IS BELIEVED TO STRENGTHEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND HELP THE BODY TO WARD OFF DISEASE IN THE ORGANS.

BUT WHAT ABOUT RELIEVING PAIN? HOW DO MAGNETICS ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK?

MAGNETICS ARE SAID TO ACTUALLY BLOCK PAIN SIGNALS FROM THE NERVES TO THE BRAIN. THIS WOULD PERHAPS EXPLAIN THE RAPID RELIEF FROM PAIN THAT MAGNETICS HAVE PROVIDED TO MANY INDIVIDUALS. THE PRINCIPLE INVESTIGATOR OF THE DOUBLE-BLIND STUDY DONE AT BAYLOR UNIVERSITY, DR. CARLOS VALLBONA, STATES," WE DO NOT HAVE  A CLEAR EXPLANATION FOR THE SIGNIFICANT AND QUICK PAIN RELIEF OBSERVED IN THE PATIENTS IN THE STUDY. IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THE MAGNETIC ENERGY AFFECTS THE PAIN RECEPTORS IN THE JOINTS OR LOWERS THE SENSATION OF PAIN IN THE BRAIN."

THE PHYSICS OF MAGNETIC THERAPY CONTINUES TO BE DISCUSSED AND DEBATED WITHIN THE SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL COMMUNITIES.
