What is magnet therapy?In the most simple terms, bioelectromagnetic therapy helps to restore health by helping cells regain their natural electromagnetic frequency. It dates back thousands of years and over recent years has been the subject of extensive scientific research. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) pass through and influence everything on the planet, including human body cells, and loss of exposure to these energy fields may account for many common ailments. Modern technology such as radio waves, computers, even power lines, can distort the earth’s natural EMFs and physicists believe that the protective powers of these EMFs may have degraded by up to 50% over the past 1000 years with a 5% decline in the last 100 years alone. Our health is paying the price in many subtle ways and more and more professionals now believe that using magnets appears to be one of the easiest ways to enhance our general well-being, energise our bodies and speed any necessary repair.

How does magnet therapy work?All living organisms have a biomagnetic field around them and these fields change from moment to moment in relation to events taking place inside the body. During health, cells vibrate with their own characteristic electromagnetic frequency. In times of illness or injury, a cell’s electromagnetic vibration changes.When worn or held close to the body, magnets are capable of electrically charging iron atoms in the red corpuscles of blood. This in turn affects biochemical reactions by improving circulation and it has been observed in thermographic studies that blood flow to the area influenced by the magnetic field is substantially increased. As increased oxygen reaches the cells, toxic wastes and inflammatory agents are removed more efficiently and natural healing processes are stimulated. There is also significant evidence of a pain blocking mechanism in nerve fibres when they are subjected to magnetic fields and clinical studies have shown magnets to be very effective in relieving a wide variety of aches and pains.

What’s the evidence?Already popular in bracelet form, magnets are now beingusedonawidespreadbasisbyNHSdoctorsandprofessional therapists as a way of stimulating the body’s natural repair systems without the side effects frequentlyassociatedwithdrugs.MRIscannersthatorientate body molecules to make images are effectively huge magnets and in a technique know as transcranial magneticstimulation(TMS),electricityispassedthrougha coiled magnet to produce an intense magnetic field that pulses up to 50 times a second which is fast enough to create a small electrical current that can jump start of

block neurone circuitry in the brain area beneath.

ClinicaltrialshaveshownthatTMScanbenefit

depression, stroke rehabilitation and epilepsy and recent

research suggests that stimulating the brain with

magnets may even help slow down the onset of age-

related memory decline and other forms of dementia

including Alzheimer’s disease by boosting the growth of

cells in one of the areas vulnerable to the condition.

(Magnetic therapy is not suitable for persons using pacemakers,

defibrillators, insulin pumps or other electro-insulin devices.

It should not be used by pregnant women. If in any doubt,

please contact your doctor before use.)

Did you know...?• The use of magnetic therapy for health and well-being dates back thousands of years and legend has it that in Ancient Egypt, Cleopatra used magnets to help maintain her youth and beauty.

•BillClinton,CherieBlairandAnthonyHopkinsare all celebrity magnet devotees.

• Developments in modern technology mean the earth’s geomagnetic field is continually growing weaker. In addition, this field is constantly shielded from us by everyday item we take for granted such as cars, aeroplanes and metal framed buildings.

• Legend has it that naturally occurring magnet wasfirstdiscoveredbyaGreekshepherdcalledMagnesin600BCwhilewalkingonMountIdainMagnesia where he noticed that his iron staff was attracted to the lodestone.

•Inthe16thcenturyDrWilliamGilbert,thepersonal physician to Queen Elizabeth l, made his patients eat iron filings before placing a magnet over the stomach to untwist a strangulated hernia.

• Magnetic devices are now prescribed in countries all over the world including the UK wheresince2006,theNHShasprescribedmagnets for the treatment of ulcers.Placing a vase on a magnetic coaster can prolong the life of cut flowers by up to 50%!

The benefits of magnetic field therapy have been well documented in recent years. Magnetised water appears to have far less surface tension than non-magnetised water resulting in an increase in absorption and retention by the body. Drinking water that has been exposed to a magnetic field also improves the physiological functioning of the cells, resulting in better absorption of nutrients, increased detoxification and improved circulation. Magnetised water can also be used to help many conditionsincludingdigestivedisorderssuchasIBS,mouthulcersandthereductionofplaqueandgingivitis.Bathingtheskinwithmagnetisedwatercanalso be beneficial in cases of eczema and psoriasis.

Unlike“spot”magnets,amattresspadbathesEVERYmuscle, cell and organ in your body with a gentlemagnetic field that is safe, natural and beneficial to our well-being. Our mattress pads last up to 20 yearsand require no effort to use.

Did you know that over 30% of Japanese people sleep on magnetic mattress pads?A surprising number of people do not get adequate sleep. We all know that sleep provides physical rest, but it doesn’t stop there. Other functions provided by sleepinclude:

REPAIR: Melatonin, secreted by the pineal gland, reaches a maximum approximately an hour after we

fall into deep sleep. Only then do the body’s repair functions respond and go into full swing.

NOURISHMENT:Bloodcarriesnutrientsandoxygenaround the body more efficiently while it is relaxed andreceptive during sleep.

CLEANING: The Lymph system picks up waste from the cells and activates the immune system. Three hours sleep loss can equate to as much as a 50% reduction in the immune system’s activity.

Natural pain relief for our furry friends!It’s not just humans who suffer from aches and pains, animals are prone to many of the same ailments as us, includingarthritis,spinalandjointproblems.Bothfelineand canine circulation is much faster than that of a human. Pets have less circulating volume and magnetic fields are absorbed much quicker which means dogs and cats often respond very quickly to magnet therapy. If magnets are placed around a dog or cat’s neck, ideally in a collar, the magnetic field will be absorbed very rapidly into

the carotid artery, one of the main arteries that supplies oxygen from the heart to the head and neck. Clinical trials have shown a reduction of up to 50% in fracture healing time by simply incorporating magnets into a bandage as well as a significant improvement in the mobility of older dogs that sleep on a magnetic mat.

It can be used alone or in conjunction with conventional treatments to treat many ailments including arthritis, hip dysplasia and vertebral disorders as well as sprains and strains. Further benefits of magnetic therapy for animals include a reduction in parasites such as fleas and ear mites which cannot tolerate a magnetic field and an improved immune system.

Animals are a fantastic example of the therapeutic powers of magnetic fields. Unlike human case studies, they cannot be influenced by the placebo effect - an animal does not understand that it’s being treated with magnets so it can’t subconsciously influence the effect of the treatment!
