Magnet Therapy

[Guest guest]

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?

L.A.I did ask the

seller, if he know how much magnet might be

accessive for body to put

on. 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.

Is it really possibly that a small magnet would give a heart attack?

 

I wouldn't think so - more likely blocked arteries?

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.

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.

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://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:

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?

and HOW on earth would this person know what the magnet field on

earth was like in " earlier ages " ? a time machine and a gaussmeter?

read more about earth's magnetosphere: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Magnetosphere

 

if you don't understand it then its pointless trying to argue either

way - and i reckon, most magnetophiles are woefully ignorant of basic

science

i am with shirish - beware of playing with magnets

 

seek to establish health through common sense measures: a good diet,

adequate sleep, regular exercise etc

all of this is proper thinking in ayurveda

 

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:

Dear todd,

Thanks for information. But how do i figure that this is a bio- magnet.?Jewelary

was made like necklace and wristband . Beads of necklace was big like Desi

Chana(small gram). 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

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. (article
