| TREATING PAIN WITH MAGNETS |
|
People who use magnets to treat chronic pain will tell you that they work, and better yet, don't have any of the side effects
that come with drugs.
People who say magnets are useless for pain control will tell you that scientific proof shows magnets have no affect on pain.
It's true, some scientific studies do not show that magnets relieve pain*; however, we all know that science can be slow to
determine how holistic and alternative medicine works. As an example take the field of chiropractic medicine. Everyday millions of
people find relief from chronic pain by visiting a chiropractor. Mainstream medicine only recently began to accept it as a valid
choice. For many years it was regarded as quackery.

MAGNETIC FACTS
Magnets have been used to treat chronic conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and diabetic neuropathy and
well as injuries caused by trauma. It is believed magnets increase blood flow and interfere with the
electrochemical reactions that cause muscle contractions involved in many kinds of pain.

Several years ago a friend of ours developed arthritis in her joints...
She used to wake up every morning stiff and sore...
Her GP recommended various medications but she found it left her in a ‘brain fog’ each morning; sometimes she even overslept.
After carrying out some research on alternatives to medication she discovered magnets.
She ordered some magnetic products and had great results.
Her experiment with magnets left her pain free and relaxed, with a joints feeling loose and with a sense of well-being - there
were no side effects as with the medication.

| So, a complete hoax or the ‘Bee’s Knees’... |
Depending on whom you ask, magnet therapy is a complete hoax or the best thing to happen since sliced bread.
| So who's right? |
| Well, we'll leave it to you to decide. |
* In general, those studies that reported little or no effect used lower strength magnets. Those that demonstrated an effect
used stronger magnets. (Magnets are measured in gauss. The higher the gauss, the better the pain relief - medical magnets
range in strength from 450 gauss to 10,000 gauss).
