Thread Name: BS: info on magnetic therapy devices?
Subject: RE: BS: info on magnetic therapy devices?
Hello GUEST rt89
I am an Osteopath and have a number of patients who use magnetic bracelets etc. to improve their symptoms. In most cases they have felt a tangible improvement.
There have been a number of cases where magnetic collars have been fitted to animals and in most cases there was a marked improvement. With my own dog improvement came within two hours. If his colar was removed he deteriorated over several hours, improving again when the collar was replaced. Work on animals removes the placebo effect.

We may not know how it works but mainstream medecine uses magnets in MRI scans. Magnets obviously have some sort of effect on a body which is, in effect, a huge battery.
Unfortunately science still does not know all the answers as to how the human body works. Only recently it has been found that herbal remedies, in some cases, work better than manufactured drugs as the plant contains substances other than the main ingredient which acts in sybiosis to facilitate healing.

Remember that studies of any medicine can only be carried out with the knowledge and tools that we have today. Dow we always have the right tools?
Men once played with Whimshurst machines and Leyden jars to make sparks fly as an after-dinner entertainment. It was only whrn a guy called Votaire built a meter to measure electricity that society realised what it could do for them.
