For many years, American orthopedists have been using electromagnetic therapy to heal broken bones that would not heal by conventional methods and many veterinarians have been using electromagnets and permanent magnets for the treatment of animals. The magnetic energy that enters the body is a catalyst that stimulates the body to heal itself. The deep penetrating, powerful therapeutic energy provided by high energy Neodymium magnets helps to increase blood flow and circulation. This, in turn, increases oxygen and nutrient delivery to the affected tissues while speeding the wash-out of toxins and waste products, thereby allowing the body to naturally, and more quickly, heal itself resulting in pain relief. In other research, Drs. Vallbona, Hazlewood and Jurida at The Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas set out to determine if chronic pain could be relieved by the application of magnetic fields directly over identified pain trigger points.
Trigger points are persistent and painful muscle spasms.
Fifty patients with diagnosed muscular or arthritic-like pain were studied. It is time to make the American public aware that all magnets are NOT the same, especially in the field of Magnetic Therapy. Newspapers, television, health and fitness magazines and mail-order catalogs are telling and promoting the use and benefits of Magnetic Therapy that is sweeping the country. I n one of the first scientific studies of the centuries-old and highly debated use of magnets for treatment of medical disorders, a New York neurologist reported today that he had significantly lessened the foot pain that afflicts millions of diabetics. Dr. Michael I. Weintraub, a clinical professor of neurology at New York Medical College, emphasized that his study was small, involving only 24 pafients, and must be regarded as preliminary to much more clinical research.
