0 LIKES UnLike

some claims that an expensive magnetic bracelet (made of titanium alloy combined with magnet) can cure and prevent most of the common blood problems, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, rheumatism etc.

I want to know the medical and scientific fact about this. Is this realy therapeutic or only a gimmick

  1. Magnet Therapy: Quackery or Efficacious?

    Proponents of Magnet Therapy claim magnets boost blood circulation to the affected area {where the magnet is placed, thus magnets attract blood. This is absurd since the iron in haemogloblin is not magnetic in that ligated form, thus magnets cannot attract red blood cells/blood}, move energy by affecting nerve flow - affecting the flow of ions, conteracts pain, magnets stimulate energy similar to acupuncture needles.

    On the Documentary by Discovery channel, the expensive magnets used by magnet therapy practionioners failed to penetrate the skin, and where no better than fridge magnets! { which cost a fraction of the price} under scientific evaluation.

    Placebo Effect & Lucky Charms

    Magnetic Bracelets are more like a lucky charm, sports players wear them, like Tiger Woods {golf player}, football players, basketball ect. They claim it helps them with their respective sport.

    Magnet therapy works by the placebo effect, if you think the magnets are taking away the pain, then your mind will focus on other things, the subconcious mind is amazing, and this can be reproduced with hypnotherapy without magnets! There is no physiological reaction, well atleast not directly, caused by magnet therapy, it is entirely psychological, which can then indirectly cause a physiological chemical changes in the brain pain centers {the limbic system}, thus the pain is relieved.

    Magnet Therapy was supported by the father of Homeopathy, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, which is another form of alternative medicine that fails to work, other than the placebo effect.

    Bob Beck Magnetic Pulsar

    This form of 'magnet therapy' does work, it was made by a physicist and involves sending high levels of pulsed magnetic energy into the body, which poduces a milli volt, this renders pathogenic microbes inactivate. Learn more here:

    Alternative Medicine

    I like to think of Alternative Medicine as a mixture of many many treasures, and junk {quackery}, some therapies, methods & protocols do work, dare I say in some cases superior to conventional medicine, these where rejected by the medical-pharmaceutical establishments as they were not profitable, or interfered with the NWO plan. e.g. orthomolecular psychiatry, Rife Technology, Gerson Therapy ect.

    Having said that, we have our blacksheep in AM, like any community, even medicine, Alt. Medicine is not regulated, and thus chalatans/fakes can/do decieve people, and take their money, making absurd claims, and get away with it.

    In order to avoid this, you must become your own researcher, and not rely on QuackWatch since they have vested interests in the AMA and  Pharmaceutical cartel. In the world we live in, rife with info wars, you can only trust one person for [true] medical knowledge: Yourself.

    Hope this helps.


  2. Glad to be able to answer you:

    Magnetic drums will relieve the pain of rheumatisms, but not cure them. Magnetism doesn't cure anything but affects the electrical fields in the body and stops the nerve impulses from reaching the spinal cord, so the brain doesn't get any "pain messages". But the cause for the pain is still there, and the disease is still present. It's just not "felt" any more.

    Magnetic bracelets are too weak to have any effect of the sort. They cannot stop the "pain messages" from the nerves from reaching the brain and they certainly do not cure anything.

    All the best to you!

    Ps: diabetes and rheumatisms are not "common blood problems". They are not blood problems at all. And magnetic bracelts or any kind of magnetism will not help.

  3. I am a veteran and I have health problems. I go to the VA hospital for treatment. If these bracelets really worked and were cheaper then medications for the taxpayers then the VA would be handing them out all the time. These things-like magnetic mattresses, shoe liners and others have a static magnetic field and a very weak one at that. I have been in an MRI machine several times and I guarantee that field is several orders of magnitude more powerful than any magnet you can buy and it doesn't heal anything.
