Magnetic Therapy?

Question

Has anyone tried magnetic therapy for help with Syringomyelia ? If a person has a shunt due to Hydrocephellus, is it safe to use magnetic therapy ?

If you have used any magnetic therapy, what company name would you recommend? Have you had any experience with Nikken products (magnetic products)?

Thanks

Answer 1

Apparently millions have tried it over many, many years and I found this:

"There's nothing new in the idea that magnets can heal. That suggestion was made 500 years ago. What's new is the way magnets are made.


Physicist Robert Park has worked with magnets a lot
"Modern material science has made it possible to make very thin magnets like the ones you have on your refrigerator," says Park "Well it makes it just terrific for people that want to revive all of this magnetic therapy stuff. Because they can sew these into a mattress. Or put them in your shoes or anything.

"So should I put a fridge magnet on my forehead then, if I think it's going to help take away a headache? It's going to work as well as the other one, which is not at all."

In fact the claim that's usually made is that a magnetic field, if you have an injury for example, will attract blood to the site of the injury.

"That is a misunderstanding," says Park. "Blood has iron in it. So people therefore feel that a magnetic field must attract it. But the iron is in the chemical form of hemoglobin. It's not like the metallic iron at all. A magnetic field, oddly enough, repels blood.

The people who want you to buy the magnets argue it depends on how they're constructed.

They'll show you how the north and south poles alternate to form concentric circles. Or a geometric pattern.

Complete nonsense says our physicist.

Even lowly fridge magnets have alternating poles. They're made that way to make sure they are strong only at the surface.

"Now the reason they do that is to protect your credit cards," says Park. "You get too strong a magnetic field and those get erased."


The static magnet in a typical MRI is 15 times stronger than the average therapeutic magnet for aches and pains
So by design, the magnets may not produce enough of a magnetic field to penetrate the various things they come wrapped in, let alone the skin.

A check of a therapeutic magnet's strength -- impregnated in a sports knee wrap -- revealed a magnetic field too weak to even attract a paper clip.

Well, what if you have a stronger magnet, a really powerful one, like the magnet in magnetic resonance imaging devices?

The static magnet in a typical MRI is 15 times stronger than the average therapeutic magnet for aches and pains. For obvious safety reasons, scientists have to know what effect MRIs have on the human body. They say there's none that anyone knows of.

But you won't hear that from anyone trying to sell you a therapeutic magnet. You'll be told there's this study, that study. It looks impressive in the product literature.


There are even golf shoes with magnetic soles built right in
Those who know the research however say it's poorly done and/or doesn't involve enough people to be even a little bit convincing.

The good news though: it's highly unlikely magnets will do you any harm. So if you still want to try them, there's just one thing you may want consider: the cost.

That magnetically weak knee wrap? $50. A pair of magnetic insoles? $60 to $80. A bracelet? as much as $140. A necklace? $120.

And the average fridge magnet? Just $3 or $4. "

Answer 2

Yes Magnetic Therapy will serves Better without any side effects
Magnets of Gala Brothers is the Best and they are in the Market since a long time. There are so Many other companies. Your nearest Nature Cure Doctor will help you in selecting the Magnets and they will also undertake treatment.

Answer 3

last I heard, magnetic therapy doesn't work. I could be wrong though. I didn't get details as to what they were referring to as far as what they tested it on.
