Treatment Basics
Magnetic fields move through the body freely, as if it wasn’t there – even the bones are essentially transparent. The concept of healing is quite simple: get the bad stuff out (detoxification and elimination) and get the good stuff in (oxygenation, circulation, and nutrient assimilation).
Application Basics
Even though I describe problems as being layered, the layers may happen individually, several simultaneously or even all together. This makes it difficult to know for certain which layers may be involved in a given problem or person. Almost always, pathologic level problems will have the other levels present to varying degrees, especially the pathophysiologic [...]
Learn more...General Rules
We recommend certain approaches to take for a user to achieve better results with magnetic field therapies and avoid any significant adverse effects. None of these rules are absolute. They should be considered guidelines. Considering them will be more likely to produce better results. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… General rules for application of magnetic fields Applicators must be [...]
Learn more...Sensitivity
Dealing with sensitivity is a delicate and complex matter. It would usually be better to have a consultation and evaluation to get a better sense of the circumstances and history of the individual and to develop a plan. This way users would be more likely to keep a system and try to work through the sensitivity. [...]
Learn more...Adverse Reactions
Adverse reactions to magnetic therapy are common enough to be taken seriously. Since magnetic therapies can alter circulation, stimulate repair, stimulate nerve cells, cause relaxation, affect blood pressure and heart rate, alter the absorption of medications and nutrients, affect acupuncture energy movement, stimulate magnetophosphenes, among many other actions, overreactions by the body, perceived or measurable, [...]
Learn more...Static vs PEMF
The strength of the magnetic fields needed for the problem at hand will vary depending on whether they are static fields versus PEMFs. The research available provides some guidance for what has been evaluated. There is little guidance for what has not been evaluated. As stated in other parts of this web site, there are [...]
Learn more...Professional vs Home Use
The magnetic systems used for treatment clearly vary significantly across numerous variables. I believe it should not be concluded that the fields used in these studies for these conditions are the only ones that could be effective. They just simply have not been tested for comparison. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Whether a system is only used by a [...]
Learn more...Magnetized Water
There are many kinds of water. Steam and ice are 2 extremes. Water used to drink is liquid. Liquid water can be affected greatly by the way it is obtained. Distilled water is usually clear of toxins but is also devoid of minerals. Municipally treated water is not too risky from a microbial perspective but [...]
Learn more...Effect on Nutrition/Supplements
Tissue actions of MFs will clearly depend on the underlying health of the organism, animal, human or vegetable. Since MFs depend on and affect electrolytes, minerals, proteins, fats and carbohydrates, the lack of or imbalance of these substrates is very likely to affect the value of the magnetic therapies or any healing capability, even ones [...]
Learn more...Other Therapies
Magnetic therapies can and should be combined with other types of therapeutic approaches. Rarely will they interfere with each other. I will usually recommend basic nutritional support and supplements. The goals for treatment need to be identified and the physical abnormalities understood. This will guide how to combine treatments, if at all. Some issues can [...]
Learn more...Contraindications
Despite magnet therapy’s generally recognized safety, account must be taken of some possible actions which should be considered in using this therapy. While few of these are serious, they must be anticipated and patients alerted to their potential. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Absolute contraindications: Pregnancy – while toxicity studies with MRI show no significant concerns with workers, little [...]
Learn more...Basic Principles
Before getting in-depth on the applications of magnetic fields, you want to take notice of the following 27 principles: Principle 1: Magnetic fields go through the body as if it wasn’t even there – even the bones are essentially transparent. Principle 2: The shape of the magnetic fields produced by a given device depends on [...]
