Magnetic Therapy

 


Cushioned Magnetic Pads - From top left, clockwise: both sides of a 3 inch square pad, containing five ceramic magnets (3,950 Gauss each); one side of a 4½" x 6½" pad, containing 15 ceramic magnets (3,950 Gauss ea.); both sides of a 1½ inch diameter pad, containing three neodymium magnets (11,000 Gauss ea.).  (Gauss is a unit of measure of magnetic strength.)  Front and back of a pair of Magnetic Insoles (2,500 Gauss ea.), and a pair in its re-sealable plastic packaging.  On one side of each insole, there are size guidelines for cutting the material to fit any shoe size between a women's 8 & 13 (M 7 & 12), inclusive.  One trimmed  insole is placed inside each shoe, slipper, sneaker, etc., with the solid black side against the foot.



The following paragraph is from Magnet Therapy: The Pain Cure Alternative, written by Ron Lawrence, M.D., PH..D., Judith Plowden and Paul J. Rosch, M.D., F.A.C.P. (published by Prima Health, a division of Prima Publishing, 1998):

     "So, exactly how does it happen?  How can a magnetic field reduce pain?  Dr. Lawrence believes that perhaps the main actions are relaxation and circulation.  Magnetic fields appear to greatly increase blood flow in the tiny capillaries.  For example, via testing by plethysmography, a way of measuring blood flow through the fingers, Dr. Lawrence found a rate of 300% increase in five minutes-a dramatic change.  The speeded circulation is thought to be due to the relaxation of capillary walls and important changes in the capillary beds, as well as further relaxation of muscle and connective tissue." 

Whatever the exact biological functioning in response to exposure to outside magnetic fields, it appears that permanent magnets (stationary magnets against the body) and magnets in motion (massagers, for example) may be very useful in combating many, varied health deficiencies:


Many Researchers in the Area of Magnetic Field Therapy Believe Magnets
Can Aid in the Treatment of a Whole Host of Health Problems, Including:

Chronic Pain, including Fibromyalgia • Stress • Arthritis • Insomnia • Wounds • Headaches • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Asthma & Allergies • Fatigue • Back & Spinal Disk Problems • Diabetic Neuropathy • Many Diseases, including Heart Disease, and, even some forms of Cancer 


Despite the aforementioned beliefs, and a huge volume of anecdotal evidence and a couple of recent studies suggesting that magnets have a positive effect on various health problems, the FDA has not approved the use of magnetic therapy products.  Therefore, sellers of magnetic products in the U.S. are not permitted to make any health claims, including pain relief.  In addition, there are certain warnings attached to the use of magnetic products. 

All of the magnetic products described and/or pictured on this website are not registered medical devices.  They are not offered for sale as, nor are they intended to be used as, medicine or medical treatment.  We make no representations or warranties as to the ability of magnetic products to cure any physical or mental conditions.  The magnetic products on this website are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.  WARNINGS: Pregnant women should first check with their physician before using any magnetic products.  In addition, the Moon Car Magnetic Massagers (described and pictured on two other pages of this website) should not be used on the ABDOMEN of pregnant women.  Also, anyone with a pacemaker, defibrillator or other electrical diffusion device, should first check with her or his medical doctor before using any magnetic product.


*Please feel free to ask us about other magnetic products, including wraps specifically tailored for various parts of the body; especially, the knees, elbows, wrists, hands, lower and upper back, neck and shoulders.
