Magnet Therapy, properly referred to as Biomagnetic therapy is completely safe if applied properly but is not advised with pregnancy as there have been no conclusive studies.
The Science of MagnetoBioPhysics or what is commonly called Biomagnetism is a very exacting technology/science.
Many magnetic companies think it is OK to place magnets anywhere on the body. Even the World Health Organization has issued a formal statement that static magnetic fields (from hard, non-electric magnets) pose no health risks.
But this is not entirely true. The body is made up complex energies that go into the millionths of a volt. Through the years, the body and its cellular voltages have been completely tested, analyzed and fully reported in basic physiology. As the laws of physics are very basic, the voltage from an improperly applied magnetic field can stress the cells electrical field.
These energies and the body's neurotransmission travel through nerve pathways which run in very specific directions. When using Biomagnetism, it is important to energize through the proper pathways so the energy does not run backwards and stress the area.
There have been numerous reports of pain arising from using the Bio-North Negative healing field. Practitioners and/or magnet companies have indicated just keep wearing it or continuously put it on or off until the healing takes place.
If you use a biomagnet and the pain continues or increases, generally the application is wrong. Our first concern is to do no harm and if any pain is experienced, it is better to stop the application and review the therapy protocol as it may be on the wrong polarity meridian of the body.
Did you know that one side of the arm or leg has a different polarity from the other side and they are different on each limb (one side is Positive and the other is Negative). Like a car's battery, you would not touch the wrong connections as it makes a dangerous spark. When you put a magnet on the wrong polarity, it also sparks the cells electricity which stresses the cell (s) rather than healings them.
The Institute teaches the proper applications to make sure the BioMagnets are correctly placed. When correctly placed, consistent reports indicate rapid pain relief and the body moving toward rapid healing.
