Re: Has anyone been helped by using magnets?

June 10, 2011

As a physicist I don't see how the polarity should matter,

at least at the wrists or ankles.

A very strong magnet can cause your blood cells to stick

together. Not recommended especially if you have circulation

issues.

It's not clear how they are supposed to help, but there have

been reports that some people like them (not sure if

it has anything to do with EHS issues).

Back in 1994 I tried getting some specialized magnets with red and green

labels on it, for a bed next to or under the pillow, because you are

right there is a difference between negative and positive poles.

Negative is good and heals, Positive encourages bacteria growth and

mimics power line exposure.

The idea is that the stronger outside magnet, recharges the cell's

magnetic properties, just like putting a weak physical magnet next to a

larger stronger one will " Recharge " the smaller one.

However, I found I could not use it as a " rejuvenation during sleep " as

it was intended. Whether or not my cells need recharging, I don't deny

is probable, but for me, because of my sensitivity, it made my

headache/migrane worse.

It may be as Marc has experienced in other applications, that I did too

much too fast. Only now do I consider this explanation, as I have over

the years simply avoided magnets as something I am sensitive to without

a clear explanation as how to regard them.

As for including them in clothes and wrap on helpers for sports and

horses, etc, I only shake my head and think " You don't know what you're

messing with. " Can anybody properly explain how to use these gizmos

safely? Sounds familiar, huh?

Hi,

I have used Magnet therapy for 2 yrs with great success. But caution is advised

because many companies sell magnets that are mis-labeled, as to which side

really IS north polarity, and which side is south polarity. It is IMPORTANT to

know which side is which; as You will get totally DIFFERENT results, depending

upon WHICH polarity you use, on a magnet!!

This isn't done out of incompetence, but because it depends upon " which sources

of information " the magnet company is using. For finding the poles of a magnet

with a compass: turn the compass so that the magnetic needle points to North.

Bring one side of your magnet directly up to the compass needle. If the needle

does not move, it means that the side of the magnet facing the compass IS the

north magnetic pole side. (Get a marker or masking tape and LABEL your magnet!

This way you will know which side is which.)

This is true North polarity. Some companies label their magnets south, when it

is really north, which makes it very difficult to use the therapy in ways that

are helpful.

There is a conditon called: Magnetic Field Deficiency, believed to occur because

electric appliances and A/C electricity produces positive (south) ions, while

our bodies run on negative (north) ions. What happens is, our sensitive electric

body's get over-run/over powered by the postive ions, which causes the cells to

have reverse polarity. This may be why many people find it so restful to listen

to the rain (negative ions) or spend time at the beach. It helps the body

re-balance.

There are differing schools of thought when it comes to magnet therapy.

Positive south polarity on a magnetic can increase cancer tumors. While

negative/north side polarity reverses/ decreases inflammation. *Knowing how to

use the magnets and HOW to test your magnet is of vital importance. True south

is said to increase pain, and north to do the opposite, by reducing

inflammation. *Seeds exposed to south polarity for 6-200 hrs showed improved

germination and growth rate, with hardier plants and higher yields. This seems

to validate south induces growth. Book source: " MAGNETISM AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE

LIVING SYSTEM " by Roy & Walter C. Rawls, Jr. I have found this book quoted

in many other magnet books. Using this book has been very helpful. Another good

book is: Healing With Magnets by Null. Another good one is: Biomagnetic and

Herbal Therapy by Dr. Tierra.

CAUTION **For anyone deciding to try Magnet Therapy, it is a really WISE idea to

only put them on your skin for a few minutes at a time, do this 3 or 4 or 5

times a day- to get the body acclimated. For those very sensitive, the magnet

can cause pain, which tends to scare people. If the area is bruised, for

example, and you are using the Magnetic correctly, on NORTH polarity, leaving

the magnet on for longer then a few mnutes at a time, can make the wearer feel

very weird, or cause pain. Often, this is due to the body being so out of

whack...and not due to the therapy itself. Go slowly!

There have been many I know, who used magnet therapy, who felt immediate relief.

And others, who had to proceed very very slowly. But upon day 2, felt the

immediate relief that didn't come right away.

We have found that using magnets on north polarity side facing the skin, helps

with ES. But as with all things, what works with some may not work with others.

I have loaned out my magnetic pads numberous times in the past few years for

people suffering from: one was a fractured collarbone, magnet on north polarity

helped greatly. Another was knee problems, same north helped greatly. Two were

back problems, north helped greatly. Another was a giant bruise from waist to

ankles, magnetic pad north side reduced swelling within 24 hrs so this woman

could actually use the bathroom with screaming in pain. Another was where I

placed tiny tiny magnets on my daughter's face, north polarity to help with a

severe allergy attack. It worked wonderful. We have found that wearing the

oblong ceramic magnets on our wrist also help with ES, and sometimes I just wear

a magnet on my left ankle, on the inside.

For me, there has been only proof...but it took learning to use the magnets the

right way.

read that line as WITHOUT screaming in pain.

This is a person who often held a cell phone in one hand, a cordless phone in

the other.

She fell one day...and ended up vividly bruised from the waist down to ankles.

While I gave her tons of info on cell phones/cordless phones....all I can say

is; blood brain barrier opened/mind shut down to new information...the list of

theories is endless.
