During the past 155 years, the earth's magnetic field has been declining which has caused increasing health problems. In fact, when astronauts first went into space, they suffered bone calcium loss and muscle cramps from decreased exposure to the earth's magnetic field. Doctors discovered placing artificial magnetic fields in the space capsules effectively kept the astronauts healthier.

Basic Theory and Function Behind Magnetic Jewelry
The magnetic field of the handmade magnetic jewelry acts as a catalyst to improve chemical reactions occurring in the human body. This improves a variety of functions in the area of the handmade magnetic jewelry focal point, such as oxygen carrying capacity, assimilation of nutrients, manufacture of enzymes, metabolic waste removal, reduction of free radicals, tissue regeneration and most importantly healing. The rate of healing can be accelerated to be much faster than the typical healing rate of the human body. For example a bone fracture that typically requires 6-8 weeks to heal may require only a few days with handmade magnetic jewelry.
Advantages
In general terms, it is safe, painless, accelerate healing non invasive, does not have the allergy or infraction problems of multi-prescription medications and does not carry the risk of more aggressive treatment methods such as experimental drugs or surgery.
How Safe Is It?
An MRI scanner generates a magnetic field of 5,000 to 20,000 gauss. Where as each magnetic bead does not exceed 2,500 gauss. The safety of the introduction of high strength magnetic fields was well established during toxicity studies performed for the FDS approval of MRI.
What Will I Experience?
Many who have been in pain will experience relief in a short period of time. Some describe different feelings of tingling or “glowing” in a problem area, which is indicative of healing. Experience will very with individuals and the type of condition being treated.
Care
The magnetic beads will not turn or change colors unless the beads come in contact with another chain or metal. The magnetic bead is metal and will scratch when in contact with other metals thus will lose its shine but not magnetic strength. Water contact will not hurt but will help keep it clean. Sleeping with it is only good for your body.
Special People Special Bodies
Every body id different. Very often you will hear doctors say: “Try this and call if you feel strange”. Well the reason is simple, there are millions of people and everyone has a different reaction. The same is true with magnets. Normally you should feel results within 24-48 hours. Some people will feel results in minutes, even seconds and some will even feel strange. People who feel strange should remove the magnets and wear for just a few minutes a day for a few days to let the body associate with the magnets, then it will be just normal to wear the all day everyday. Others will not feel or seem to feel any results for weeks and then remove it and feel it is gone because the pain seems to come back.
The healing properties of magnets have been known since the time of ancients. According to legend Magnets, The Greek Shepherd accidentally discovered them. He was taking his sheep to pasture when on passing a large rock, he found his iron mounted staff being pulled toward it by an unknown force. He had to exert all of his strength in order to pull it away. This rock was named the Magnet Stone. He was so amazed by the force and wished to make use of it. He inserted pieces of the stone inside the soles of his sandals, and this enabled him to cover long distances at one time without feeling tired.
Magnetism is one of the earths oldest natural forms of healing energy, affecting every living system, as it has for millions of years, utilizing whole body healing naturally using the earths force of magnetism.
Magnets work on human metabolism mainly through the circulation of blood, which contains hemoglobin and iron. The adult human body contains 4 to 5 grams of iron, and it can be traced to all parts of the human body. Most of it is present in blood as a component of hemoglobin and a smaller amount remains in muscles and is called myoglobin. The function of the components is to carry oxygen from the lungs to muscles and other parts. Without iron there would be no energy, and without energy the heart and respiration stops and you die. Iron is essential for life. Without iron there is no life. Magnetism influences iron magnificently, forcing it to move, increasing its oxygen, and thereby increasing natural healing. The earth is a huge magnet. Over the last 100,000 years experts claim the earths magnetic shield has declined by 50 percent, with a full 5 percent decline in the last 100 years. Many factors in our modern environment further shield us from this natural earth energy which we rely upon for our health and well being. Electric smog from television, radio, electric blankets, household appliances, and power lines can be harmful, according to the US Surgeon General. The iron and steel of todays buildings can deplete the magnetic field of the earth by more than half. Dr. Nakagawa, the Director of Tokyos Isuzu Hospital said that this "Magnetic field deficiency Syndrome" interferes with normal body functions. By simply supplementing the earths natural energy field, many discomforts may vanish. Using magnets approximates what the earths geometric field used to be.
As kids, we all played with magnets and observed with awe how we could march a column of iron filings atop a piece of paper by manipulating a hidden magnet underneath. The same kind of magnetic force moving those filings is now increasingly being found to help relieve chronic and acute pain and speed the healing process associated with injuries.
At the Pain and Stress Therapy Center in San Antonio, pain specialist, Kathy Birkner, CRNA, Ph.D., has been successfully using magnets at muscle trigger points for muscle pulls, general aches, sprains, and pains, athletic injuries, bursitis, tendinitis, and lower back strains.
Magnets as part of a multi-treatment approach that often includes massage and nutritional supplements, particularly such factors as vitamin C, magnesium and reishi mushroom, " says Birkner." The fascinating thing about the magnets is the patients often report feeling warmth and reduced pain within minutes, the effect of increased local circulation created by the magnets." In Birkners experience the magnets are not only effective but they are safe. There are no side effects as you often see with pain medication. This is what the Japanese have long been saying after many years of widespread use. In fact, Japans equivalent of the food and drug administration has approved magnets in the treatment of injuries.
In this country, magnetic therapy is limited primarily to use among alternative-minded physical therapists and pain and sports medicine specialists. The practice, however, may become more popular following publication of major trials at John Hopkins Medical School at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The principle of magnetic therapy power is this: Electrically charged elements in the bloodstream, positive and negative minerals are attracted to the corresponding poles of bio-magnets placed over the skin of the injured tissue. The emitted force stimulates the flow of nutrient rich blood to the injury site, which would otherwise be hampered by local constriction and inflammation. The boosted blood flow draws more of the biochemical agents of healing to the site, promoting repair and countering localized muscular spasms that often accompany trauma. This response also helps flush out biochemical waste products.
Wearing magnets for magnetic therapy works on your entire body. Your blood has iron in it, which is naturally attracted to the magnets. This makes your usually sluggish blood course more rapidly through your body to pass under the magnets. Now several things transpire when this takes place. Increased circulation so many people who complained of cold extremities say their feet are warm again. Because of the increased circulation endorphins are forced to run rapidly through your body. Endorphins are the "healing warriors" of our bodies, but because of our current lifestyle we never make them work hard enough. Endorphins will not pick and choose what they will and will not work on so as they run around your body a "whole body healing" is taking place. You feel better all over including increased energy. From a headache to a toe ache and everything in between. Even high school injuries can be effected in a positive manner.
Biomagnet proponents note that while better known therapies anti-inflammatory drugs, trigger point injections, infrared light, and microwave diathermy all contribute to an eventual increase of local circulation, the use of magnets significantly speeds the process. Healing and pain reduction are enhanced, and Birkner points out that many people are able to apply the magnets on their own to obtain pain relief and increased mobility.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prohibits manufacturers of instruments from making health or therapeutic claims for effects relating to the physical or mental illness being currently treated by members of the medical profession and/ or other licensed practitioners unless said instruments have been registered by the FDA.
Should not be used by anyone who has surgically implanted devices or is pregnant unless first approved by their physician. |
