Magnetic Science
This section will provide you with general and technical introductory information about magnetic fields and their effects on your body. We will discuss therapy principles, the different types of magnetic therapy systems, as well as safety and risk reduction. You will also find a reading list for more in-depth information on magnetic science. This should serve as a technical resource for people new to magnetic therapy ideas, and as an ongoing reference for those familiar with the principles. Because it is an overview, not all statements are referenced and other magnetics researchers and scientists may not always agree with my accounts. I will present information that is relevant from a health perspective, based on my own clinical experience and review of scientific literature
Basic Principles
Why Magnetic Therapy? What is it? Is there any value in it? What is the evidence? Magnetic therapy is becoming recognized throughout the world as a legitimate medical discipline. The roots of this bioscience come from the studies done in biomagnetics, the study of the body’s own magnetic fields (MFs). The body’s fields are detectable only with [...]
Learn more...Polarity
In much of the popular writing on magnetic fields used in therapy, there is much discussion about polarity. This concept is taken from the convention used to describe the Earth’s poles – North and South. There are actually two types of poles on the Earth. Magnetic and geographic. The magnetic poles are not physically situated [...]
Learn more...Time Varied Fields
The scientific literature on the effect of TMFs on biology is much more extensive than for static magnets. Scientists, biologists and engineers still have a conceptual block to the possibility that SMFs can have any effect on biology. They often think that currents and/or heat need to be generated to cause any biologic action. There [...]
Learn more...Geomagnetic Fields
The body does not exist outside a magnetic environment. It never developed from the embryo stage outside that environment. Some of us may leave it temporarily – astronauts – but you and me won’t. ALL biology on the planet Earth is COMPLETELY dependant on the Earth’s magnetic. The Earth is our natal mother in more [...]
Learn more...Biomagnetic Fields
The body produces its own very complex electrical activity. Wherever there is electrical activity MFs result. The body’s own magnetic fields are extremely tiny. They are so tiny that they are easily obscured by the surrounding planetary and environmental fields. These external fields have to be blocked to allow study of the body’s own magnetic [...]
Learn more...Biological Actions
Western clinical thinking is usually focused on a disease specific model. Each disease has specific physiologic and pathologic components, comprising various testing methods – for example, x-rays, MRI, chemistry, microscopic, microbiology, immunology, neurological testing, etc. The results of tests are assembled into patterns that then allow a “label” or diagnosis to be applied to them. [...]
Learn more...Static/TMF difference
Both extremely low-frequency (ELF) magnetic fields and geomagnetic static fields are all around us. Most research evaluating time-varying fields has ignored the Earth’s static magnetic field effects upon their systems, that is, that local variations of the Earth’s field could significantly alter results and make comparison studies very difficult to interpret. Calcium flow into cells [...]
Learn more...Water & EMF
Water in the human body is mostly a “soup” of electrolytes, proteins, fats, starches, etc. Not only would magnetic fields affect the body’s own water but will also affect water drunk after being pre-treated by magnetic fields. There is evidence that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) change the properties of solutions. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. How is water affected by [...]
