Understanding Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy


Healer heal thyself
http://altered-states.net/

Magnetic Field Therapy (MFT) is one of the world's oldest forms of healing. The first documented references to MFT in medicine were made over 6000 years ago and make MFT one of the most traditional methods of medical treatment.

MFT was used widely for healing by the ancient Greeks, Romans and in particular the Egyptians as well as the highly advanced cultures of Central America. It was central to the medical models of Paracelsius and Messmer. 



Bio-magnetic healing is a therapy that is now sweeping the US because it helps the body heal itself. Used in ancient Egypt and rediscovered by NASA for the astronauts, magnet therapy has also been successful in providing relief for the complex issues of WRULD.(Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is one of the curses of modern technology; Work Related Upper Limb Disorder (WRULD) may be a newer label for the syndrome but the symptoms are the same: pain, numbness, tingling and skin sensitivity)...

From clinical experiments, we know that Pulsating Magnetic Fields can reduce pain sensations almost immediately. This is due in part to the increase in the oxygen partial pressure in the terminal tissue and the increase in the local perfusion and velocity of the capillary blood flow alleviating the accumulation of metabolites due to small vascularization and blood flow (transmitted by the sympathetic nervous system).

As stated Magnet therapy was used in Ancient Egypt and rediscovered by NASA, lining the astronauts suits to avoid them being adversely affected by removal from the earth's natural magnetic field. Not only does the modern environment shield all of us from much of the natural geomagnetic field, but also research shows that over the last century it has declined 5 per cent. Yet it is fundamental for our health and well being. Iron makes up about 4 per cent of our blood content. Magnets attract metal: so placed on the body they increase the blood flow in a specific area.

The Development of MFT and Its Applications
 
Electromagnetic fields are the basis of all life. The earth possesses a magnetic field which is the prerequisite for the survival of all life forms. The human body, like every other organism, functions by way of a finely co-ordinated network of electromagnetic fields and forces. These regulate most bodily functions and keep them in their natural equilibrium.




The natural magnetic field of the earth is dipolar with a strength of 0.5 Gauss or 50 micro Tesla (µT).

Field characteristics

The strength of the field at the Earth's surface ranges from less than 30 microteslas (0.3 gauss) in an area including most of South America and South Africa to over 60 microteslas (0.6 gauss) around the magnetic poles in northern Canada and south of Australia, and in part of Siberia.
The field is similar to that of a bar magnet. The Earth's magnetic field is mostly caused by electric currents in the liquid outer core. The Earth's core is hotter than 1043 K, the Curie point temperature above which the orientations of spins within iron become randomized. Such randomization causes the substance to lose its magnetization.
Convection of molten iron within the outer liquid core, along with a Coriolis effect caused by the overall planetary rotation, tends to organize these "electric currents" in rolls aligned along the north-south polar axis. When conducting fluid flows across an existing magnetic field, electric currents are induced, which in turn creates another magnetic field. When this magnetic field reinforces the original magnetic field, a dynamo is created that sustains itself. This is called the Dynamo Theory and it explains how the Earth's magnetic field is sustained.
Another feature that distinguishes the Earth magnetically from a bar magnet is its magnetosphere. At large distances from the planet, this dominates the surface magnetic field. Electric currents induced in the ionosphere also generate magnetic fields. Such a field is always generated near where the atmosphere is closest to the Sun, causing daily alterations that can deflect surface magnetic fields by as much as one degree. Typical daily variations of field strength are about 25 nanoteslas (nT) (i.e. ~ 1:2,000), with variations over a few seconds of typically around 1 nT (i.e. ~ 1:50,000).


Although we do not actually feel this magnetic field, it influences the daily lives of humankind and nature in a decided way. We know for example that very many animals are dependent on the earth's magnetic field for their sense of direction (bees, termites, ants, beetles, migratory birds, storks, sharks, skate, turtles, whales etc).

In 1998 the University of Frankfurt provided sensational proof for the first time that pigeons oriented themselves by using the earth's magnetic field. Their outstanding sense of direction can be accredited to small magnetic crystals in their bills (carrier pigeons).The same natural magnetic crystals can also be found in the brains of humans.

In principle all functions of the human body are based on electro-chemical-magnetic phenomena. The Nobel Prize winner "von Klitzing" describes the magnetic component of the body as the most effective one.

At the University of Giessen scientists successfully proved that even magnetic fields of the lowest intensity (in the picotesla range) have an undeniable effect on the well-being of humans. Similarly, the natural phenomenon of weather systems is an example of the effects of even low intensity magnetic fields 


Science and the Study of Magnetic Field Therapy

There have been more than 3000 studies made on MFT - clearly more than have been made on aspirin.
Some of the research and its results are listed below together with explanations for the impact of MFT. Research is being constantly updated and extended.

Scientific Proof
The efficiency of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy has been proved and demonstrated in many different ways over the years.

·        Dark field microscopy proves that clustering in the erythrocytes can be cleared. This leads to: improved viscosity of the blood, improved blood flow, enlargement of the surface area, increased oxygen levels and reduced risk of thrombosis.
·        Bone density measurements reveal a significant increase in bone density after treatment over a fairly long period of time.
·        Infrared thermography measurements show a warming of the skin caused by improved circulation or rather a widening of the capillaries.
·        The measurement of the skin conduction potential at acupuncture meridian points (PROGNOS) method records the regulation of energy in the body.
·        A combined bio feedback measurement demonstrates he optimisation of a large number of bodily functions after only a few minutes of treatment with pulsed magnetic fields.
·        Photoplethysmography measurements indicate on average a 45% improvement in circulation in the area of microcirculation and an average increase of 25% in blood oxygen levels. 

After considerable experimentation on himself, friends, acquaintances and a few individuals diagnosed with AIDS, all reaped some health benefit. Dr Beck Soon,soon however, realized that the blood might be cleared of viruses or other pathogens but these same pathogens could be temporarily hiding in the lymph system. To create the necessary microcurrents in lymph and tissue to neutralize viruses and other pathogens, he developed a magnetic pulse generator. Pulsed magnetic fields create microcurrents in lymph and other tissue. Externally applied magnetic pulses to the lymphatic system, the spleen, kidney & liver, help neutralize germinating, latent and incubating parasites of all types, helping to block re-infection. This speeds up the elimination of disease, restores the immune system, and supports detoxification. Permanent magnets, no matter how strong they are, will not produce the same results as the pulsed fields of Bob Beck's device, which produces induced back-emf currents.
 
Regenerating Function – Bones

·        Osteoporosis particularly after the menopause (referring to both prophylaxis and therapy)
·        Sudeck's disease (post-traumatic osteoporosis)
·        Status after bone fracture and fissure; status post surgery on the skeletal system where, for example, bones have been set using screws or pins.
·        Status after implantation of endoprosthesis (to prevent slackening)
·        Development of pseudoarthrosis (false joint) after unstable fractures

Regenerating Function - Soft Tissues
 
·        Trauma following accidents with or without the skin being broken
·        Burns
·        Pressure sores (decubital ulcer) 




Relaxing Function - Calming the Autonomic System

·        Neurodystonia (imbalance of the nervous system eg. attacks of perspiration)
·        Sleep disorders
·        Prophylactic relaxation effect to counteract everyday stress
·        Stress in the general sense of the word, particularly after long periods of physical effort ("distress")
·        Concentration difficulties
·        Neuroses

Increased Oxygen Supply

·        In aerobic cell respiration (increased stamina in athletic performance)
·        In anaerobic cell respiration (more rapid regeneration as a result of expulsion of lactates and faster incorporation of glycogens into muscle cells)
·        General increase in metabolism owing to increase in combustion processes within the cells (mitochondria)

Improved Circulation

·        Circulatory problems: in vascular disease caused by diabetes and sclerosis (arteriosclerosis), in varicose veins with ulcers
·        Accelerated absorption of bruises (haematomas)
·        Expulsion of lymph oedema

Pain Alleviation in Bones and Joints

·        Degeneration of the spin and the bones and joints in the arms and legs (knee, hip, elbow and shoulder etc)
·        Rheumatic joint inflammations (eg. polyarthritis)
·        Inflammations leading to stiffening in the vertebrae (eg. Bechterev's disease)
·        Joint injuries (eg. from sport)

Pain Alleviation in Soft Tissue

·        Non-articular rheumatism (fibromyalgia)
·        Connective tissue injuries (eg. post-surgery, scar pain)
·        Migraines

The PMF therapy is a heatless therapy, therefore, all implants (except heart pacemakers) can be treated. Hospitals use PMF therapy to accelerate the healing of patients with pins and bone plates because no damaging heat is produced in the implants. Fractures can be treated even through a plaster cast, since magnetic fields permeate all materials

Darkfield Microscopy - Blood Diagnostics

Darkfield blood diagnostics give us an overview of the body's individual environment and thus its tendency to become ill. It allows for conclusions to be drawn on the individual's state of the health and possible causes of disease.


The Process

A drop of blood is taken from the patient's finger and immediately looked at (therefore in its living condition) under a special dark field microscope. With the help of a video camera the picture is projected onto a monitor and discussed with the patient. The patient experiences a real time view of the therapy's effectiveness.

The procedure gives a valuable picture of the "internal state" of the patient's immune and metabolic systems. Detailed information is available about the PH balance, the oxygen saturation levels of the red blood corpuscles, the degree of oxidative stresses, hydration of the cells and inflammations. Furthermore we can identify the effectiveness of the blood corpuscles (and any immuno-deficiencies) and the status of the liver and kidneys. Damage caused by environmental poisons, toxins eg. heavy metals becomes visible.

Professor Dr G Enderlein's observations of the micro-organisms living in blood (1872-1968) provide valuable information on the body's individual environment.

With the help of immune-biological medicine, decontamination measures and by regulating one's environment (nutritional advice, rebalance of the bowel flora), disease processes can be influenced and the immune system can be stimulated.
Amazing results can be achieved particularly with chronic illnesses.

The effectiveness of MFT can be seen by taking a blood sample before and after MFT and observing the differences between them.

In Canada, government licensing even recognizes the use of a magnetic bed as a medical device. With the use of static magnets, the north pole (south-seeking pole) of the magnet has different healing qualities than the south pole. North pole therapy is generally described as "contracting, healing, alkalizing" while south pole therapy is described as "stimulating." Having said this, a wealth of studies translated from Russian and Japanese, as examples, do not differentiate between north and south pole for effective healing. 




Magnetic Field Therapy (MFT) permeates all cells, enhances ion exhange, normalizes circulation, and increases the oxygen utilisation of the cell.
Normal cell potential = about 90 MV (millivolts)
Inflammatory condition = about 120MV
Degenerative condition = about 30 MV


How Does Magnetic Field Therapy Work with Multiple Sclerosis?

Pulsed magnetic fields are used in the diagnostic of multiple sclerosis and they can have a role in its treatment as American researchers have recently shown in a study. Weak pulsating electromagnetic fields have a positive influence on fatigue and the general quality of life.

For centuries people have tried to use magnets to alleviate pain but so far MFT has not enjoyed complete acceptance in traditional medicine. It is fact that until recently only a few scientifically reliable studies existed. American scientists have now proven that weak pulsating electromagnetic fields could alleviate some MS symptoms.

117 patients with multiple sclerosis participated in the research. For four weeks they were exposed to a daily dose of a weak pulsating electromagnetic field of low frequency. The scientists paid special attention to the effect of the treatment on fatigue, blister control, spastics and the quality of life.

Treatment with electromagnetic fields significantly reduced fatigue symptoms and improved the subjects' general quality of life. Mixed results were obtained with spastic symptoms and blisters were unaffected by the treatment.

In the opinion of the authors a treatment with pulsating electromagnetic fields can alleviate some MS symptoms. Thus their data confirm the results of earlier research with smaller numbers of participants. The heads of the research endorse further investigation to clarify whether patients benefit from ambulatory treatment or whether they can profit from the beta interferons of this treatment.

Physiotherapy: Magnetic Field Therapy Influences Arterial Muscle Tone

A study involving rats has shown that MFT affects the muscle tone of capillaries dependant upon their original state.

Around 2000 years ago the Chinese already practised MFT. In the 21st Century the industry generates around 500m US Dollars a year. Only sporadic reporting of MFT's effects mean that only limited evidence of its potential is available.

Scientists at the University of Virginia are now examining the effect of static magnetic field therapy on the micro vascilliary tone of skeletal muscles. They base the research on the assumption that MFT can improve blood supply by changing this muscle tone and therefore help with injuries, inflammations and other pathophysiological conditions. The scientists measured the changes in capillary width in the spinotrapezius muscle of Sprague Dawley rates which were exposed to 15 minutes of MFT. Before, during and after the therapy the muscles were examined with the aid of scans.

Results showed that originally expanded capillaries contract themselves and contracted capillaries expand following treatment with MFT. From this study we can conclude at the very least that MFT has a certain influence on capillary muscle tone so the therapy is applicable to ischemic (contracted capillaries) and/or edematous (expanded capillaries) conditions.

Research Results Verify the Effects of MFT on Patients with Diabetes and Poliomyelitis Bremen. The Greeks of antiquity used magnets to treat their soldiers' injuries and The menstruation pains of their women. Then magnets faded into oblivion as a treatment source. For a while they were even treated with suspicion. Only now have magnets returned to popularity as a method of healing. At the present time 'healing magnets' generate a five billion Dollar industry worldwide with the majority being used in the USA…. and in Germany where the number of devotees is growing. 



Numerous testimonials from individuals who use a magnetic pulse generator on tumors, lymph, teeth and organs support the effectiveness of providing the body with both microcurrents and magnetic therapy. The research studies on pulsed magnetic fields (many conducted in Russia) indicate they are effective in many cases to improve circulation, accelerate tissue regeneration, regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Studies in the US indicate pulsed magnetic fields may help speed the healing of fractures and have proved effective in fractures that would not otherwise heal.


Renaissance in the Use of Magnets Took Place in Japan

The magnetic Renaissance ended up occurring in Japan in the 1960s where they developed small magnetic plasters of the size of a one mark piece. These are fastened with the North Pole facing downwards onto the skin. These were improved upon with time. For instance the north and south poles of the so called magnetic foils are coiled together alternately in circles. They can be concealed under clothing and long past are the times when patients had to stand on large magnetic blocks. Nevertheless the question remains whether technically refined magnets can actually help.

A recently published study from the USA (JAMA, 283 (2000), 1322-1325) gave rather sobering results. Here 20 patients had magnetic plasters placed on their backs to treat back pain; some of them were treated to placebos. The result; after four weeks both groups were only somewhat better with the magnets performing no better than the placebos. However the research was strongly criticised as the test patients only wore the magnets for 18 hours per week. "the correct application requires the magnets to be worn 24 hours a day on the skin" stresses Dr Michael I Weintraub of the New York Medical College in Briarcliff in the US Federal State of new York.
 
Weintraub carried out a study with 24 patients who suffered from peripheral polyneuropathy as a complication of their diabetes mellitus (J Pain Manage 9, 1999, 8). On one foot they inserted a magnetic sole, on the other, a placebo.

" Magnetic Feet" Showed Clear Improvement

A month later the patients' "magnetic feet" were clearly improved. The pain had substantially decreased in comparison to the other foot.

In another American study the magnets were tested on 50 patients. They had had poliomyelitis and now had chronic join pain (Arch Phys Med Rehabil 78, 1977, 1200). Magnetic foils with alternating polarity led to three quarters of the test subjects having a clear reduction in their complaints. In Germany the Munich Dr. Michael Kris has worked for some time with permanent magnets and in his opinion "the success rate of this treatment on patients with soft tissue injuries is more than 70 percent".

Blood Vessels Expand

Magnets have a very real pain reducing effect. Physiologically this effect is explained by magnetism expanding blood vessels and improving blood flow. The results of laboratory research have so far revealed no harmful side effects nor are they expected. The World Health Organisation declares static magnetic fields of up to 20,000 Gauss as harmless and magnets used for treatment are only of between 300 and 5,000 Gauss. It is however difficult to acquire these magnets in Germany and they are more accessible on the Internet or through advertisements in women's magazines.

Certainly headlines like "the absolute pain relief weapon from Japan" make the treatment seem less respectable. In addition it is often unclear which type of magnet is being sold. Inexpensive products are usually the simple magnetic plasters which do not always work whereas the Magnetic foils with alternating polarity are substantially more expensive. But their abilities are well documented. They have recently been designated as "LiTai" in pharmacies.

Magnetic Field Therapy

The first use of magnetic fields in the treatment of PA is attributed to Basset who published his first clinical results in 1974.
The health benefits of magnetic fields with PA is due to the imitation of the physiological cell potential by the low-frequency alternating current. The cell's own membrane potential is overcome which induces a cellular change so that bone healing can progress. Good conduction conditions for the current applied are needed to guarantee success ie. Deperiostized bones, unstable and atrophied PA worsen because of the higher electrical resistance of the stimulation.
MFT helps where vital fractures are not healing and it also helps to treat calluses.
Contraindications arise from electromagnetic resistance such as proximity to a cardiac pacemaker and ferrousmagnetic osteosynthesis material.

High-energy dynamic magnetic fields with curve amplitudes of up to 20 Gauss must be applied for up to 10 hours daily. A newer generation, which work by using low-energy dynamic magnetic fields within a static magnetic field with a curve amplitude of only 0.4 Gauss, need only be applied for 30 minutes daily.

Magnetic field therapy is not very common despite supporting clinical evidence in German speaking countries. Healing rates in the treatment of PA in larger clinical studies are between 70-85% (multi-center study in the USA - Orthologic 6'96, S Sattler et al. - Bangladesh Med. Res. Counc. Bull. 4'99).

Pulsed magnetic fields have proven to help by increasing oxygen in the cells, improving cell metabolism and enhancing mineral exchange. Studies indicate these benefits have helped individuals overcome heart, lung, gastrointestinal, rheumatic and skin diseases as well as overcoming infections and improving immunity. In short, there are many benefits from the use of a magnetic pulse generator.


Sleep Disturbances



About 26% of the population suffer from sleep disturbances. More than 88 different forms have been identified. More than 50% suffer in the over 60s age group. Alongside a range of medical and behavioural measurements, evidence exists that pulsed magnetic fields can lead to improved sleep patterns and reduced daytime tiredness. A goal of this investigation was to evaluate the influence on daily fatigue of a regular application of magnetic fields. Altogether 150 patients with non-organic sleep disturbances were included, about 75 of whom would use magnetic field treatment for two weeks.

The results were determined on the basis of three internationally valid scales. On the Epworth scale (maximum 24 points) a clear decrease showed of daily tiredness of on average 11.6 +/-1.3 …… after application of magnetic fields while in the control group (initial level: 11.4 points) no significant improvement was attained. On the Stanford Sleep Scale (Max 7 points) the magnetic field group reached 3.1+/-0.2 points …. From an original 5.3+/-1.1 points. Once again no improvement was noted in the control group (initial level:5.0 points). With the self-evaluation group (max 40 points) the magnetic field group went from an initial 28.2+/-2.2p points…. To afinal score of 16.1+/-2.2 points while the control group (start value 26.5 points) showed no significant change. These results prove that magnetic field therapy reduces daily tiredness which leads indirectly to an improvement in sleep patterns. Further polysomnographic investigations confirm this assumption.

Pulsed magnetic fields have proven to help by increasing oxygen in the cells, improving cell metabolism and enhancing mineral exchange
Through the principle of induction, this magnetic field creates tiny electrical micro-currents in living organic materials that contain an electrolyte such as saline.
Pulsed magnetic fields, in addition to the healing qualities of static magnets, produce microcurrents of electricity in body cells and tissue. This was the purpose in the development of a magnetic pulse generator for health.

Treatment of Pain


Magnetic fields and electric current are related. Each current, and that includes the current in electrical circuits, creates a magnetic field. Each reversal of a magnetic field creates an electrical field. This mutual induction of variable electrical and magnetic fields is the basis of the Maxwell equation in physics. These laws of physics lead to eg. the fact that moving electrical charges align themselves into a constant magnetic field. Nuclear spin tomography (MRT) is based upon these laws. Moving electrical charges for eg. electrons or loaded molecules produce a small magnetic field and work like elementary magnets which can interact with constant magnetic fields. A variable magnetic field creates an electrical field which in itself exerts a force on resting electrical charges.
 
Biological procedures are usually achieved through electrical operational sequences for example all nerve information transfers. Important procedures in the cell depend on oxygen and other carriers of energetic charges which are magnetisable. When the organism is ill, however these procedures are often disturbed which leads to metabolism disorders. There is a reduced power supply in the cell and a build up of waste products within the cell as they cannot be effectively removed. Applying a magnetic field allows the electrical operational sequences to realign and poisoned and inactive cells normalise.
 
The fact that almost all disease affects the cells, our smallest independent biological unit, explains MFT's high success rate. Stimulation of the cells leads to increased metabolism and efficient disposal of wastes and toxins. Toxins can be removed and the healing process is enhanced.

Continuous, non-pulsating magnetic fields do not change inactive charges. Therefore pulsating magnetic fields should be used in treatments. The energy fields work at a deep level which reach all parts of the body like the internal organs or bones which cannot be treated through other methods.

Although more scientific proof of the effects and mechanism of MFT is needed, pulsating magnetic fields of certain frequencies and intensities are very well researched and are proving very successful.

The therapy is used mainly with inflammations and pain and supports wound and bone healing. It is suitable for stabilizing the immune system eg. with infection and metabolism-dependent allergies and in particular for the improvement of the bone and cartilage structure with joint problems after sport and spinal injuries. It is effective in pain alleviation with migraines and headaches, for hormone balance and for the treatment of rheumatic conditions (acute and chronic).
 
Similarly positive results have been achieved for the treatment of blood circulation disorders which affect the metabolism (eg. with gout and diabetes) and blood pressure. Bronchitis and asthma, vertigo and tinnitus can be treated. Even patients with carcinomas can be treatable with regard to pain therapy.

Many applications and the theoretical bases of MFT have been scientifically proven however not every human responds in the same way. The exact mechanisms of the effect of magnetic fields on the body and optimal therapy doses are still unclear. In all other respects MFT treatment devices fall under medicine product law.

To summarise MFT therapy devices can often be a very useful complementary method to traditional medicine. Unfortunately there are a wide range of therapy devices on the market whose uses are questionable. With magnetic field therapy it is often the case that after the initial therapy complaints could worsen for a short time. These reactions often indicate the beginning of the healing process. It must be mentioned however that aggravated symptoms could also be caused by the progression of an illness and are not an absolute indicator that an improvement has been affected. In principle magnetic field therapies should only be applied under medical supervision since only the physician can assess whether the healing process and/or pain relief has been caused by the treatment or whether it there has been a deterioration.

Human and animal organisms consist of a large number of cells which function electrically. If there is no electrical potential left in the cell, it is no longer viable. These cells have a basic (or rest) potential that is necessary for normal cellular metabolism.
Diseased or damaged cells have an altered rest potential. If the ions (electrically charged particals surrounding the cells) move into an area of pulsating magnetic fields, they will be influenced by the rhythm of the pulsation. The rest potential of the cell is proportional to the ion exchange occurring at the cell membrane.

Formation of Melatonin


The ephyiphysis (pineal gland) and the hormone melatonin are influenced by electrical fields, magnetic fields and electromagnetic fields.

The effect of magnetic fields on biological systems is scientifically proven and can thus be effectively used in treatment.

Magnets appear to heal the body removing inflammation and restoring circulation. By increasing blood flow to a diseased site on the body, increased nutrients become available to speed the healing process. In fracture healing, for example, the use of magnetic fields increases the adherence of calcium ions to the blood clot formed at the site of the break. This allows for the proper formation of the callus that is necessary for fractures to heal properly.
In the eastern view of healing, magnets help restore the energy flow of the body to allow healing and proper metabolism. This is similar to one of the theories used to explain the positive affects of acupuncture as well

Effects of MFT



It was noticed that MFT works in two different ways: on the one hand it works on the individual cell and therefore directly on the different organs, on the other hand it gives the governing organs of the body impulses that can regulate individual organs and the functions of the body. On one hand it provides for the fitness of the individual organ and on the other hand it rectifies malfunctions or poor performance in organ control.

A further positive effect occurs in the cells' Ca+ ions which, together with a changed pH value, lead to the so-called calcium cascade. Calcium is an essential messenger conductor in the cell. As a consequence of the raised calcium levels the metabolism is stimulated as well as specific cell functions. The following processes are:

·        Activation of macro phages, thereby improved waste disposal from tissue and blood and in addition, resistance to pathogens.
·        Activation of the metabolism by acceleration of essential processes.
·        Production of nitrogen monoxide which relaxes the tissues of the blood vessels and therefore expands them. As an essential component of nitroglycerin it is important in the primary care of cardiac infarcts.
·        Optimization of blood pressure. Blood pressure adjustment sensors are found in the brain stem which can positively react to shifts in calcium levels. Blood pressure receptors in the carotid arteries are also positively influenced and narrowing of the vessels is avoided.
·        Stimulation of cytokines For eg. explain MFT's very high success rate in the treatment of wounds and in general orthopaedics.
·        Reduction in sensitivity when adrenaline and cortisol are administered and therefore lowered stress.
·        Activation of insulin secretion in the pancreas.
·        Increase in the pain threshold at free nerve endings.

Possible contraindications eg. electrical implants (eg. cardiac pacemakers), epilepsy and pregnancy.

Magnetic Healing (Magnotherapy) part 3





Magnotherapy



Magnotherapy is the application of a magnetic field to a living body. Magnotherapy is not new, it has been used for hundreds of years to help relieve pain and accelerate the natural healing process. In recent times magnotherapy has become more popular for two reasons, first the quest for complementary remedies as a natural therapy, and secondly the advancement of magnet technology



The truth is nobody really knows. A magnetic field can be generated in the form of a pulsed electro-magnetic field or a static field. Professionals favour pulsed electro-magnetic field and equipment, a technology that does appear to provide superior results when compared to static magnetic field. This type of equipment is used in hospitals and by physiotherapists. The downside is that electro-magnetic fields require a supply of electricity and are therefore more suitable for controlled clinical use, not for personal, kennel or stable use. To overcome this problem some products use a battery as a source of power to develop a pulse field, but these tend to be inconvenient as they are heavy and awkward, certainly quite a sizeable battery would be required to produce the same depth of magnetic field as the more expensive transformer products.

A static magnetic field can be generated from various magnetic material, from flexible magnetised sheet (as used for fridge magnets ) through to complex rare earth magnets. There are a number of suppliers of this type of magnotherapy product due to an increase in public awareness of the benefits that magnotherapy can provide. However, an unfortunate trend used in the marketing of many of these products is the use of scientific gobbledygook in an attempt to describe how magnotherapy works and provides credibility to the product. It can only be assumed that the authors of some of these ‘scientific explanations' enjoy an enviable imagination! One only has to read the marketing material of a number of different suppliers to become thoroughly confused: Indeed many of the theories are-scientifically impossible and no evidence is available to support them. It is unfortunate that legislation covering the advertising and claims for complementary products has been a long time coming and even now it has been introduced (June 1999) it is restricted to products that are intended for human use and not for animal use. It the same legislation were applied to animal products pet owners would enjoy the benefit of being better informed as to the capabilities of a product.



Magnetic products should not be used on open wounds or pregnant females’

The origins of this statement probably originate from trials in America with electro-magnetic equipment. There is growing evidence that suggests electro-magnetic waves can be detrimental to health and cell structures. An unfortunate by-product of electro-magnetic equipment is the generation of small amounts of electro-magnetic waves, which is probably the reason for this advice. There is no evidence that supports static magnetic fields having a detrimental effect on pregnant females or open wounds, in fact many user have found they have a very positive effect.

'Magnets should only be applied for a given number of hours’

The earth’s natural magnetic field passes through all of us all of the time, we cannot switch it off. Extended use of a magnetic field is only considered detrimental when a gauss (a measurement of magnetic power) level in excess of 2000 is applied. The gauss reading for this purpose should be read at the surface of the product, not of the magnet, as gauss figures of magnets can provide meaningless information. When suppliers state that magnets should only be worn for a limited number of hours it is likely that they are referring to the physical and practical characteristics of the products packaging rather than the actual magnetic properties. If the under the product is restricted from breathing then the product should only be applied for a minimal time. In any event an animal that has any type of equipment or dressing applied should be checked regularly

‘Magnets increase blood circulation and blood flow’

There is no scientific evidence to support this. However, it is believed that the benefits derived from magnotherapy are attributable to an improvement in the efficiency of the blood subsequent to passing through a magnetic field, providing that the field is of sufficient gauss to cause molecular agitation. It is not understood why this should be, but certainly the bloods ability to carry xygen and dispose of waste products does appear to improve and this could account for some of the remarkable benefits that have been experienced by people and animals.

‘Bi-polar Magnets’

The description of a magnet as ‘bi-polar’ implies it is a special type of magnet. There is nothing special about a bi-polar magnet because every magnet must have a minimum of two poles (north & south), because without these it would not be a magnet!

‘North poles are better for some complaints and south poles are better for others’

This is of course nonsense. A magnetic field is a loop and therefore it is impossible to apply one without the other

‘ Magnotherapy is suitable for all conditions’

Certainly static magnetic fields are safe to use with all conditions insofar as there is no clinical evidence to the contrary, but that does not mean a magnetic field can help all conditions. If the condition can be helped by more efficient blood circulation then magnotherapy is worth a try and will probably prove successful. If in doubt a general practitioner or veterinarian should always be consulted.

It is safe, drug free, cost effective and easy to use method of self-treatment, without any of the side effects associated with conventional methods of pain relief
