Important information and advice that will ensure you get the best out of your
medical magnets.

If you are not using your magnets correctly you will not receive any benefits whatsoever,

Here’s why…

 May be you have been using magnets, to help reduce your pain, for a couple of
weeks, at least. The truth is, you may still be suffering with some residual
persistent pain that has not yet been resolved by the magnets you are currently
using on your body.

If I have just described what is happening to you, then there are 2 possible
reasons why you have not benefited and they are:

1. You are not using the magnets in the correct area of your body i.e.
directly over your area of pain, or the strength of magnets is not
sufficient for your problems.

2. Your inflammatory system is potentially permanently switched on and
preventing you from totally resolving your pain and swelling.

Very quickly, let me explain why,

If you use magnets in only one area of the body, e.g. a magnetic bracelet on your
wrist, or a ring on your finger, any pain you have in other areas of the
body will remain totally unchanged. This is because magnetic therapy only work in the
local area around which they are placed.
        (more…)

Due to the minefield of misleading information about magnetic bracelets; it is quite easy to fall in the trap of believing that wearing a magnetic bracelet can cure virtually any health problem.

As wonderful as they are, magnetic bracelets will NOT cure or relieve your asthma.

Here’s a list of what magnetic bracelets can help you with:

#1. Rheumatoid arthritis in the fingers, wrist and hand
#2. Osteoarthritis in the fingers, wrist and hand
#3. Fibromyalgia, were the pain is in the fingers, wrist and hand
#4. Polymyalgia Rheumatica, were the pain is in the fingers, wrist and hand
#5. Osteoporosis, were the pain is in the fingers, wrist and hand
#6. Repetitive strain injury in the fingers, wrist and hand
#7. Carpal tunnel syndrome
#8. Tendonitis of the wrist
#9. High blood pressure
#10. Stress
#11. Tennis elbow, super strength bracelets only
#12. Raynaud’s disease, in the fingers, wrist and hand
#13. Gout in the fingers, wrist and hand
#14. Poor circulation in the fingers, wrist and hand
#15. Diabetes, were peripheral neuropathy is in the fingers, wrist and hand

 As for helping your asthma, here’s what kat got asked last week…

—————————————-

Hi,
My mum is asthmatic and she bought a magnetic bracelet; I am really concerned and want to know whether it will heal her completely, because she is my life and I can’t live without her. Please give me hope
Lucyline

—————————————

Hi Lucy

If your mum had the magnetic bracelet specifically for asthma, then I don’t think she will get many benefits.

Drinking magnetised water is the best form of magnetic therapy to help with asthma but even then it is not a cure, it will help to control the symptoms and improve her condition, but she will always have asthma,
magnetic therapy can not cure any condition it can simply ease the symptoms.

If her asthma is very bad then it will need to be controlled with medication, but you can use the magnetised water wand to drink magnetised liquids which will also help her.

Best Wishes
Kat

There are no scientific research to prove that drinking magnetic water will reduce the breathlessness or the frequency of having an asthma attack.

But we have had several user testimonial who swears that drinking magnetic water has improved the symptoms associated with the condition.

Here’s a question that kat got asked via email a couple of days ago:

Hi, my name is Peter and I was wondering Why can’t I use ordinary fridge or toy magnets to relieve my pain?

An interesting question indeed. Why should you spend over £50 on a magnetic device if a £2.50 fridge magnet can do the job.

Here’s what Kat had to say on the matter:

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your question. Normal household magnets are not the same as clinical therapeutic magnets.

An everyday magnet such as a fridge magnet is very weak compared to a medical magnet.

The average fridge magnets measures about 250 gauss whereas the minimum magnetic strength you need to help treat pain in the body is 800 gauss -  and remember this is the bare minimum strength required, most people will actually require magnets that are between 2,000 and 3,000 gauss.

Household magnets are not designed for their magnetic field to penetrate the tissues of our body, so will not help to ease pain, inflammation or alleviate symptoms like clinical therapeutic magnets will.

Regards
Kat

So if you were planning to use a fridge magnet to get rid of your pain, by all means give it a go! But don’t expect to get any results. Unless you have a fridge magnet that is 3000 gauss…

On the other hand you can try one these magnetic therapy treatments for six months without risking a penny.

Here’s a question that we got recently about this issue:
Dear magnetic therapist,
We have recently started reusing the magnetic mattress cover I purchased from you
several years ago and have found it a great benefit.  My lower back, and
right leg, which used to go into spasm have now sorted themselves out,
thanks to the magnet therapy and we are both delighted.

There is one problem, though.  Our bedroom is north-facing and very cold -
and during the winter we find we really need an electric blanket.  We have
surrounded ourselves with hot-water bottles but these cool in the night
and have to be refilled from the tap.  The Weather buffs forecast a chilly
winter and I am not certain how we will manage.

Am I right in assuming that one cannot use an electric blanket with the
magnetic mattress cover?  I really hope I am wrong as I have a difficult
choice to make at the moment.

Any advice you can give me will be much appreciated.
Sally Ward-Enticott.

And here is what Kat recommended sally does,

Dear Sally

You can in most circumstances use a magnetic mattress cover with an
electric blanket.

Generally, you can use an electric blanket which is placed underneath
the magnetic mattress cover for a couple of hours to warm the
bed and as long as you turn it off before going to sleep you will be fine.

You can also use electric blankets that are designed to be on all night and
only have a low setting.

The reason we recommend the turning off of electric blankets is so as not
to cause the magnets to become too hot. They are obvously metal which will
conduct heat and we don’t want anyone to be burnt and also long term,
continuous exposure to high temperature may degrade the magnets in the long run.

BUT in blankets that are specifically designed to stay on all night they
never get hot enough to cause any problems so is fine to use.

Regards
Kat

The bottom line is you can use a magnetic mattress cover with your electric blanket
but do be aware that the magnets will get warm, possibly even hot, if you leave the
electric blanket on a high heat setting for a long period of time. On the other hand, you
can leave your electric blanket on all night on a low heat setting and enjoy a good night sleep
without any adverse effect to your mattress cover or your health!

Question::
How do you know if a magnetic bracelet is original? How do you know it is not a fake one? shahrir hj ahmad

I think what Shahrir wanted to ask was, with so many magnetic therapy magnets retailers out there all claiming to have the strongest magnetic products, which one do you believe. How would you know that the products are really as strong as the retailer profress it is? The definite way to find out the real magnetic strength of a product would be to use a gaussmeter. Unfortunately, it is not a device that you will find in the average household!

Here’s the advice that Kat gave Shahrir to help him decide where he should get his magnetic bracelet from.

Hi,

The only way to know for certain that you are getting genuine magnetic products, a magnetic bracelet in your case, that are of a certain strength and are designed for the area that you want to treat, is to purchase them from a reputable retailer.

Whenever you buy magnetic products always ask what strength the magnets are and never accept any item unless it is specifically designed for the area you suffer with. So a magnetic bracelet for wrist and hand pain, a magnetic necklace for
neck and shoulder pain, a back belt for back pain and so on.

Never use a magnetic bracelet to treat any other area of the body except the wrist or hands. And if your suppliers tells you that the bracelet will help your pain all over your body, do not waste your money as this is not true.

If in any doubt always check.

Regards
Kat

The golden rule when purchasing any magnetic product is to ask as many questions as possible. Do not comit to buy anything until all your queries have been answered. You should also look for suppliers that gives you a long money back guarantee period as magnetic therapy to relieve pain can take a while to have an effect; months in some cases. It also helps to speak to qualified magnetic therapists and other health professionals who understands how to use therapeutic magnets for pain relief.

Hi,
My boyfriend and I went to a local fair this past week I purchased a hematite magnetic bracelet and a hematite magnetic necklace.  He has been troubled with chronic shoulder pain so we thought maybe this necklace would provide relief of this pain. 

He wore it for the day, and that night, he awoke and could barely move his neck.  It progressed to the point where he was unable to drive and his neck was stiff and painful.  We inquired the next day at the fair and they assured us that it was just conincidental that he was wearing the necklace and that he must have done something to his neck for it to be that painful. 

They told us that the magnetic necklace could not in any way have caused the pain, as they are supposed to relieve pain.  He removed the necklace and the next day the pain had subsided almost completely.  Although he does not have a pacemaker, he does have coronary stents.  We were wondering if you have any possible answers to this and if the stents could have been the cause of this. 

He is really  convinced that the magnetic necklace caused this pain.  Could this have happened? Karen

Hello Karen,

Whilst everyone does respond to magnets in a slightly different way, I will have to agree with the people you spoke to at the fair.

This type of reaction to the presence of medical magnets is almost unheard of. (more…)

Hello,
My dog has been diagnosed with bone cancer at the top of his tibia. I have
him om k-9 immunity trans factor and omegas. I am giving him cancer diet
food. I am wanting to know if there is anything magnetic therapy can do
to help. I have got info against and for but don’t know where to find
magnets or if it is a bad idea to use. Please help me with any info about
this. Mary Beckman and Patch

Dear Mary and Patch

I am very sorry to hear about your illness Patch.

Unfortunately, there is very little magnetic therapy can do when treating cancer.

Has the vet offered any treatment?

In cases of terminal cancer where there is no hope of recovery magnets can
help to ease the pain that the person or animal is suffering until the end.

If there is hope of a recovery for Patch then I would not use magnets at
this point. It is thought that one of the benefits of magnetic therapy is
that it encourages new cell growth. This is generally a good thing for
most people as it will result in healing but for cancer sufferers it could
mean that it may promote the cancer to grow which obviously is not going
to be good news.

None of this is for definite, as it hasn’t been fully tested for obvious
reasons, but we have to air on the side of caution.

If you need any more help or advice please get back in touch.

I wish you both well.

Best Wishes
Kat

Hello Mary

Thank you for your email.

Medical Magnets can definitely help with the symptoms and effects of Multiple Sclerosis, specially the pain and stiffness.

A lot of people that suffer with this condition have problems with their lower legs and feet being cold all the time due to  poor circulation to those areas.

There is usually a lot of stiffness, pain and immobility associated with MS as well. Magnetic therapy can help with this but it usually takes time and higher amounts (strongest possible therapeutic magnets) of magnets to treat effectively.

To treat the lower leg, I would advise using the magnetic therapy foot, ankle and lower leg treatment package. This contains a pair of magnetic insoles, a magnetic water wand and a magnetic bed pad.

You can wear the magnetic insoles all day, changing them from shoe to shoe as you go. The magnetic bed pad should be positioned in the bed so that your lower legs are resting on the magnets and the water wand can be used to magnetise all of your cold drinks.

This will dramatically increase the circulation to the lower leg area improving mobility, easing pain and reducing stiffness.

If you want to treat other areas you will need other magnets for those specific areas.
Regards
Kat

Hi Sue,

I think what you really need to treat all your pain areas are a magnetic mattress cover, a magnetic back belt and a magnetic water wand. This will be a suitable pain relief treatment to begin with, focusing on your back and sciatica pain. You haven’t really gone into much detail regarding your other problems and where you suffer with your pain. So I am focusing on your back and sciatica pain.

The magnetic mattress cover will be good for helping your whole body, it will be specifically good for areas like the upper and lower back, hips, thighs, knees, lower legs and feet. It will also help by improving your circulation and it is a brilliant and effective way of using magnetic therapy to treat severe and chronic conditions.

BUT it works best when used with magnetic products during the day as well to help maintain the absorption of magnetism and allow for more effective natural pain relief. Because you mentioned your back pain and sciatica I would recommend you wear a magnetic back belt during the day. This can be worn low down over the lower back and hips so that it can treat the cause area of your sciatica. Initially you should wear the back belt 24/7.

Drinking magnetised water is a superb way to reduce the time it takes to feel the benefits and increase the overall effectiveness of the treatment by up to 10 times in some cases. Using a magnetic water wand to magnetise all of your cold drinks will allow the body to rapidly absorb magnetism from the inside as well as from the magnets on the outside of the body. It doesn’t interfere with any medication or alter the taste, colour or smell of the water. It is 100% natural.

Kat

Hello

Thank you for this excellent question.

The mattress cover is a great treatment for upper back and lower back,
hip, legs, knees, ankles and feet. BUT it works best when you use magnets
during the day as well.

For something like tennis elbow and carpal tunnel we generally wouldn’t
advise a mattress cover. If you think about when you are in bed, we don’t
really lie with our arms by our sides flat on the bed and also conditions
like these are aggravated more during the day.

You would be much better off treating these with high strength stainless
steel magnetic bracelets and a water wand for magnetising your cold drinks.
The high strength magnets in the bracelet combined with the extra benefits
from drinking the magnetised water will help to relieve pain and
inflammation in the hand, wrist, lower arm and the elbow.

You could use elbow straps instead of magnetic bracelets to treat the elbows but
there aren’t as many magnets in the straps so it won’t treat the wrists as
well and you will definitely need to drink magnetised water.
Regards
Kat

Hi John,

This can be helped with magnetic therapy and the best way to treat it is
with a pair of magnetic insoles and to drink magnetised water.

The magnetic insoles will help to ease the pain and inflammation within
the heel, and drinking the magnetised water will help to increase the
overall effectiveness by up to 10 times. This will give you much quicker
and more effective results.

You should wear the insoles all of the time, change them from shoe to shoe
through out your day. You can stop using them at night or if you want you
can continue to wear them at night in a pair of bed socks. Drink at least
4 glasses of magnetised drink every day and you should soon notice the
difference.

Magnetic therapy will work on animals in the same way as in people.

BUT in most cases a magnetic collar and drinking magnetised water is
enough to treat all areas on the pets body. This is because a dogs
circulation is much more efficient at sending blood around the body. This
means that magnetism that is absorbed through the skin at the neck, if
wearing a magnetic collar, is quickly transported around the whole of the
body before the magnetism has time to fade too much.

In some circumstances, if the condition is very bad or very longstanding
then it can be beneficial to concentrate the magnets where they are needed
by using magnetic straps on the animals legs.

These we make on order so are not displayed on website or in our brochure.
This isn’t the most suitable route for every animal as very small dogs and
cats are not able to wear the straps as their legs are just too small.

If the condition isn’t too bad, I would start with a magnetic dog collar and
allow the animal to drink magnetised water.

Kat

Hello,
To be perfectly honest, I don’t think it matters.

I am always very dubious when companies say things like this, wear the
bracelet with the balls on the top of the wrist to treat….., wear the
bracelet with the balls underneath the wrist to treat….. etc.

I have studies and gained qualifications in magnetic therapy and I have
never come across this theory. It seems very strange that whether the
magnets are on the top of the wrist or not it would make a difference to
the treatment.

The main things to be concerned with when using magnetic therapy is the
strength and amount of magnets you use and wear you use them.

Contrary to popular belief, a bracelet worn on the wrist is only going to
help with the wrist, hand and arm, if it is of a high strength it can also
help with the elbow.

Magnets need to be of a strength of at least 800 gauss as a minimum. The
more pain you are in the higher strength of magnet you will need.

Also you need to get magnets as close to the point of pain as possible so,
a high strength bracelet will help with the elbow, but if it isn’t high
stregth then you will need to get the magnets closer, you could use an
elbow strap for example. Similarly, necklaces for neck pain, back belts
for back pain, insoles for foot pain and so on.

Kat

Hello

Thank you for your email.

The magnetic mattress cover will help with pain, stiffness, inflammation, immobility and poor circulation in the upper and lower back, hips, thigh, knees, legs, ankles and feet.

It doesn’t matter how many operations you have had, if you are still in pain or discomfort then you can benefit from magnetic therapy.

Are you using any other magnetic products?

The best way to benefit from magnetic therapy is to use the magnets 24 hours a day 7 days a week. So a mattress cover is great but to gain the most benefit from this treatment you also need to be using products during the day as well.

So as an example, you mentioned a back problem. You would wear a magnetic back belt during the day, sleep on a magnetic pad or mattress cover at night and to increase the overall effectiveness even further you can drink magnetised water.

Alternatively, if you wanted to treat somewhere else chose a product that you can use as close the the area you want to treat as possible.

Using a magnetic water wand to magnetise all of your cold drinks, will help even further, especially if you have a chronic or long term condition.

Kat

Hi,

How do I know the magnetic braclet I purchased, has the said amount of gauss, 4 x 1500? I really don’t know what I’m buying, I’m taking the vendors word. Is there a test for magnets easily accessible. I want to purchase a magnetic pillow cover and mattress pad, what do you suggest? thank you Pat Johnston

There really isn’t an easy accessible way to measure magnetic strength.
There is an instrument for it but it is a very large expensive piece of
equipment and really used by manufacturers or for industrial use.

In my opinion the best way to be sure you are getting a good quality
product is by asking questions. A reputable retails of magnetic products
will be able to tell you the strength of their magnets and whether it is a
surface strength or the manufacturing strength (some times known as a core
gauss strength). (more…)
