Magnotherapy - The Myths

'Magnetic products should not be used on open wounds or pregnant females'.

The origins of this statement probably originate from trials in America with electromagnetic equipment. There is growing evidence that suggests some pulsed electromagnetic waves can be detrimental to health and cell structures. An unfortunate by-product of electromagnetic equipment is the generation of small amounts of electromagnetic waves, which is probably the reason for this advice. There is no evidence that supports static magnetic fields having a detrimental effect on pregnant females or open wounds, in fact users have reported they have a very positive effect.

'Magnets should only be applied for a given number of hours '

The earth's natural magnetic field passes through all of us all of the time, we cannot switch it off. Extended use of a magnetic field is only considered detrimental when a gauss (a measurement of magnetic power) level in excess of 2000 is applied. The gauss reading for this purpose should be read at the surface of the product, not of the magnet, as gauss figures of magnets can provide meaningless information. When suppliers state that magnets should only be worn for a limited number of hours it is likely that they are referring to the physical and practical characteristics of the products packaging rather than the actual magnetic properties. If the tissue under the product is restricted from breathing then the product should only be applied for a minimal time. In any event an animal that has any type of equipment or dressing applied should be checked regularly.

'Bipolar magnets'

The description of a magnet as 'bi-polar' implies it is a special type of magnet. There is nothing special about a bi-polar magnet because every magnet must have a minimum of two poles (north and south), as without these it would not be a magnet !!  Some people use the term bi-polar to mean two poles of the magnet touching the body at the same time, like a horseshoe magnet.

'North poles are better for some complaints and south poles are better for others'

This is not proven. A magnetic field is a loop and therefore it is impossible to apply one pole without the other.   However, the CRP modules have been designed so that any fluid flowing past it passes a North pole, then a South pole then another North pole.   This means that the bloodstream is subjected to a rapidly varying magnetic field which gives the advantages of pulsed electromagnetic fields with none of the disadvantages.

'Magnotherapy is suitable for all conditions'

Certainly static magnetic fields are safe to use with all conditions insofar as there is no clinical evidence to the contrary, but that does not mean a magnetic field can help all people and conditions. The only way to tell is to try it and see.  With our money-back guarantee, you cannot lose trying magnotherapy.   If in doubt your general practitioner, therapist or veterinarian should always be consulted.
