Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Magnet Therapy is of no use unless it is done cautiously under expert supervision and guidance. One should not use any magnet whether small or big as it does affectthe red blood corpuscles which are present everywhere in our body. One wellknown shopkeeper in Pune was so enamoured of magnets that he was always carrying a magnet in his shirt pocket. Very soon he died of heart attack and his writer wife had written anarticle in a local newspaper that her husband had died because of that. Hence let us be beware because to be forewarned is to be fore-armed; isn't it? S. M.

He don't have any idea. I think he might not know the unit of magnet. Becoz i did ask about how much unit of magnet each jewelery has.jewelery does look heavy. ... and instead of beneficial it might hurt.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Is it really possibly that a small magnet would give a heart attack? I wouldn't think so - more likely blocked arteries?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Here is a similar experience. The very first heart patient of this authopr passed out in similar fashion. He was advised 10 days bed rest (by allopath) after his b.p. shot up one day. He was also changed from a diuretic to Beta blocker antihyopertensive. he started panchagavya medicines after a day. b.p. became normal, sleep pattern, rhythm stabilised in just three days. His friend suggested magnetic necklace as very useful for heart problems. So he bought one for himself and another for wife. The necklace consisted of about twenty beads, peanut size. In a day or two he felt so good, started walking and felt new energy entering the body. Thinking that this was a good sign, wife put her necklace in husbands neck, let him recover still faster. After two days the patient felt sufficient enrgy to walk to the next street corner, where few of his friends greeted him, long talk followed with a cup of tea. Now this man had the habit of chewing Gutkha, a preparation from Tobacco. He got tempted and swallowed some. He returned home, just 200 meters away, and asked drinking water as he was feeling very thirsty, By the time wife brought it, he collapsed breathing his last. It may be a question what caused this, whether beta-blocker antihypertensive notorious for this kind of event, magnetic necklace, walking when bed rest was advised or shock of Gutkha follwed by a cup of tea, as withdrawl shock. The euphoria, excess stimulation by magnet, tea, gutkha, everything may have contributed. In practice everything is cumulative. Even if you have Gold added Chyvanprash, use it cautiously. Driving the body with stimulants is often costly in the end. Some medicines use denatured poisonous herbs in minute amount. while body use these advantageously, excess dose is not going to make recovery faster. _ Very soon he died of heart attack and his writer wife had written anarticle in a local newspaper that her husband had died because of that.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Yes, it is possible. Magnets can triggerheart attacks is used wrongly or excessively. The very fact that magnets attract iron particles is enough to indicate that the tiniest magnet can attract red blood cells that carry iron in minutest quantity. Just as iron filings cling strongly together to a magnet, similarly if blood cells cling together, the blood is bound to clot leading to a sudden heart attack. Group members who are more informed may please add their views to enlighten us all. S. M.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Most of the people who use magentotherapy do not worry about the strength of the magnets used, or amount of time exposure. The scientific theory explaining why magnet therapy works, how the strength of the magnets and exposure times are important, their effect on our cells, including the blood clotting is explained at: http://library.thinkquest.org/24206/magnetic-field- therapy.htmlhttp://library.thinkquest.org/24206/magnetic-field-\ therapy.html Blood clotting does occur by magnetuc fields as is experimentally noted at: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/7000/18869/00871867.pdf http://sciencelinks.jp/j-east/article/199920/000019992099A0447033.php The clotting is however not due to iron in the blood getting attracted to magnets, else MRI would have been failure: http://www.revisemri.com/blog/2006/mri-blood-iron-attraction/ _______ The very fact that magnets attract iron particles is enough to indicate that the tiniest magnet can attract red blood cells that carry iron in minutest quantity.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 All the while talking about magnet therapy, I was wondering about the kind of magnet we are referring to. Is it bio-magnets that we are talking about? Or, are they different from the ones being discussed here? If yes, what about bio-magnets -- do they have the same side effects? A therapist I know recommends bio-magnets saying that in earlier ages, earth's magnetic or rather bio-magnetic field was stronger than it is now and it used to boost everyone's immune system and keep them healthy. There are bio-magnetic mattresses for one to sleep on -- do you think that they have the same side effect of clotting your blood? ______________-- ..........Magnets can triggerheart attacks is used wrongly or excessively. ..................

And wristband each square of magnet is 2cmx3cm . and attach with magnet too for tie to gether.but how to fiure out it is bio magnet. The seller is claiming thatit will be very benefiical to wear it. Because earth has magnet effect also.and he was explaining that it will be help " magnetic deficiency syndrome " .I do have a hand out for that. I can scan and put it one this site for more info . and more details we can get which might help any one . Thanks mayuri ____________ i am very suspicious of the prefix " bio " in " biomagnet " - there is nothing to differentiate them from any other regular magnet except marketing all of the supportive info out there is proprietary without any independent research to back it up here is the other view on " bio " magnets: http://www.csicop. org/si/9807/ magnet.html http://www.bmj. com/cgi/content/ full/332/ 7532/4?ehom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 MAGNET THERAPY By Walter Last http://users.mrbean.net.au/~wlast/magnet.html Magnets are an effective tool in healing. The opposite poles of a magnet have different effects on the body. Therefore, it is essential to name the poles correctly. If a magnet is suspended with a thread, the pole pointing towards the north is called the north-pole (according to convention in physics); the other pole is the south-pole. However, in some books on bio-magnetism, especially in the USA, the poles are named conversely. For a detailed explanation about this controversy of naming poles see How Magnetic Poles Are Named. In this article north-pole means north-pointing pole, as in physics. However, whenever it is important to avoid misunderstandings, I prefer to use the term north-pointing or south-pointing pole as then everyone knows which pole it refers to. Another way of finding the polarity of a magnet is to move it slowly towards the north-pointing end of a compass needle. If the needle turns away, the north-pointing pole of the magnet has been used, and vice versa. HOW TO USE MAGNETS U-shaped magnets are obviously not suitable for magnet therapy; instead flat ceramic or neodymium magnets are best, otherwise short cylindrical or bar magnets may be used. The north-pointing pole generally has strengthening, stimulating qualities: it gives energy. It can be used to improve weak organs (dark markings in the iris). The south-pointing pole, on the other hand, withdraws energy: it is sedating and relaxing. It can be used for pain relief, to reduce unwanted growths (tumours) and swellings, to soothe inflammations and to arrest infections (white iris markings). The magnet does not have to touch the skin, but can be kept in a cotton bag pinned to the clothing, the specified pole facing the body. For general health improvement strong magnets - those that can lift 1 kg or more - may be applied for up to one hour daily, small or weak magnets may be left in place all day. For serious infections, strong pain or cancerous tumours, however, even powerful magnets may remain on the body as long as they seem to be beneficial.
