Magnetic Therapy Increases Blood Flow And Reduces Inflammation

sanj — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 12:00:55 +0000

The latest biomagnetic research published at the beginning of this month confirms that strong enough static medical magnets definitely increases circulation. This biomagnetic research was performed at the University of Virginia by leading figure Thomas Skalak, professor and chair of biomedical engineering.

Biomedical Engineering Study Demonstrates the Healing Value of Magnets

Jan. 2, 2008 -

Magnets have been touted for their healing properties since ancient Greece. Magnetic therapy is still widely used today as an alternative method for treating a number of conditions, from arthritis to depression, but there hasn’t been scientific proof that magnets can heal.

Lack of regulation and widespread public acceptance have turned magnetic therapy into a $5 billion world market. Hopeful consumers buy bracelets, knee braces, shoe inserts, mattresses, and other products that are embedded with magnets based on anecdotal evidence, hoping for a non-invasive and drug-free cure to what ails them.

“The FDA regulates specific claims of medical efficacy, but in general static magnetic fields are viewed as safe,” notes Thomas Skalak, professor and chair of biomedical engineering at U.Va.
Skalak has been carefully studying magnets for a number of years in order to develop real scientific evidence about the effectiveness of magnetic therapy.

Skalak’s lab leads the field in the area of microcirculation research-the study of blood flow through the body’s tiniest blood vessels. With a five-year, $875,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Skalak and Cassandra Morris, former Ph.D. student in biomedical engineering, set out to investigate the effect of magnetic therapy on microcirculation. Initially, they sought to examine a major claim made by companies that sell magnets: that magnets increase blood flow.

Magnetic water biological and therapeutic functions

sanj — Fri, 18 May 2007 07:16:06 +0000

The following biological and therapeutic functions of magnetic water have already been identified and verified by scientific experiment:

* Magnetic Water can prevent damage to the endothelium (the layer of scale like cells that line the inside of the blood and lymph vessels, also found in the lining of the heart and some other body cavities). This has the effect of inhibiting the build up of cholesterol, thereby greatly reducing the chances of cerebral and cardiac arteriosclerosis (thickening and hardening of the arteries).

* The viscosity of the water is lowered, resulting in improved blood flow thereby aiding in the prevention of cerebral and cardiac thrombosis (clotting of the blood in the circulatory system resulting in the obstruction or complete blockage of the blood flow).

* Magnetised water greatly improves the solubility of calcium thereby inhibiting crystallisation and, in fact, dissolving already formed calculus (any hard, solid, concretion or deposit in any part of the body, such as kidney stones) allowing it to become smaller, looser and easily broken. It is therefore helpful in the treatment and prevention of kidney and cholecystitis (gallstones). (more…)

Magnetic Water - Is It For Real?

sanj — Tue, 15 May 2007 07:06:40 +0000

Over the last few weeks, I’ve had several queries about the benefits of drinking magnetic water. And also a fair few people saying that it’s quackery (specially those who have done their research on the web)

In this article I will try to explain how magnetic water works. And the rest is up to you, whether you decide to use it or not. First, I’ll talk about whether water can be magnetised or not, then a quick review of the possible health benefits you can gain from drinking magnetic water and finally the easiest and most effective method to magnetize water.

Can water be magnetised?
Many of us understand our basic need to drink clean, healthy water. But what actually is healthy water, and why do we need it?

We are over 70% water. All our biological functions including circulation, digestion, absorption, and excretion depend on water. Water is required for blood, the lymphatic system, and healthy skin and muscles. (more…)
