The growing acceptance of Alternative Health Care has created a wave of enthusiasm for Magnetic Therapy. The Greeks and Egyptians first recorded the therapeutic benefits of permanent magnets four thousand years ago. A Chinese text dating to 2000 BC describes how a magnet applied to an acupuncture point had beneficial results. But magnets are enjoying a resurgence in popularity as part of a general movement toward Alternative therapies or unconventional treatments. Many athletes, including many professional golfers, have reported they feel better when wearing a magnetic bracelet around their wrist.
Magnetic energy has a calming, beneficial effect that stimulates the body to increase the flow of blood and oxygen. Magnets have alleviated temporary and chronic pain and even arrested or killed cancer cells in animals according to experts in the biomagnetic field. Magnets are hardly new to the medical field. Magnets have been an effective means for diagnosing illness and disease through techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]. Other claims indicate that magnets can help in CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME, STRESS, BACTERIAL INFECTION, WEIGHT LOSS and even to right something called MAGNETIC FIELD DEFICIENCY SYNDROME.

Why You Should Use Magnetic Therapy
By far the most important motive for the use of magnet therapy is the presence of pain. Recently the pain relieving benefits of magnets re-emerged from 4000 years of history. The impact of clinical studies along with anecdotal evidence has resulted in the acceptance of magnetic therapy as a natural pain relief alternative to allopathic drug treatments.
Using Plethysmography, a method for measuring blood flow in the fingers, experts have shown increased blood flow by as much as 300% when the finger is subjected to a magnetic field for five minutes or more. This increased capillary circulation speeds up the fluid exchange: bringing more fresh, oxygenated blood to the area, flushing away lactic acid and other pain causing chemistry at a faster rate.
Dr. Kioichi Nakagawa, in his famous paper "Magnetic Deficiency Syndrome" outlines the correlation between magnetic deficiency and many so called modern diseases such as fatigue and general lethargy. As cells perform their daily function, they become de-polarized. If sufficient magnetic energy is unavailable to re-energize the cells, the body becomes tired and run down. The application of a supplementary magnetic field ensures that vital magnetic energy is available to polarize the cells - resulting in increased energy and a sense of well-being. For decades magnets have been used on racehorses to improve performance and accelerate recovery from injury. Athletes in Russia and many countries around the world are using magnets to increase body strength and improve performance.
"Magnet Therapy assists the body to re-gain its self-healing electromagnetic balance naturally" (Ken Wianco MD. FRCS(C), FACS). A continual, adequate supply of natural magnetic energy can assist your body in achieving the balance it is striving for.
