   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.
