I had a look at the published articles section, and of the articles that I could read (not in .exe format..) and the only one that seemed like sensible research and not just publicity material had this results section

quote:RESULTS
None of the three groups of mice experienced any differences in the measurable size or progression of their implanted tumors. There were no differences between either the “north” or the “south” conditions. Neither one of these had any significant differences in the tumor size or weight compared to the mice in the control group that were not exposed to a magnetic field from a real magnet underneath the cage.

Something a bit odd is going on here with the board.
My "new posts" view has shown posts from Mr. Futura at least three times since my last post, the latest at 20:30, but I can't actually see any of them.

[Mr. Futura]

If you'd like to read about some magnet therapy studies, go to www.therionresearch.com. They have many of them on their website. Still, the best source of information is the Albert Roy Davis Research Laboratory (www.magnetlabs.com). They've been doing research for nearly 70 years. Davis was the first scientist in the world to discover that magnetism consists of two separate and distinct energies, not one. You must be absolutely certain that you are not being exposed to the South pole energy, whether you're using a static magnet or an electromagnet. South pole energy is very dangerous. If you buy magnets, buy unipolar ceramic magnets. ONLY the North pole of a magnet should be used. The small neodymium magnets are not very effective. They're too small and they don't put out a strong magnetic field.

Yeah, Alice, you're absolutely right.  Your body generally maintains its pH balance on its own just fine.  If it didn't, you'd have bigger issues than just arthritis and fatigue.  pH is maintained by a carbonate/carbonic acid buffer system in your blood.  CO2 from respiration is generated continually, which them partially dissociates to form carbonate and bicarbonate, the other half of the buffer.  None of these substances are paramagnetic.  (i.e. they are not affected by a magnetic field)

They're claiming to catalyze biochemical reactions in the body with a little wrist magnet...I can't believe that it's even legal to make that claim.

I must admit I find magnetic therapy very attractive......................................sorry !(hee hee)

Men are the same as women.... just inside out !!

For years I have suffered much pain with an arthritic knee and could not work more than a few yards at a time without experiencing great pain. I read an article somewhere about the positive effect of magnets and cutting out any of those expensibe sites selling btacelets etc, I bought a sheet of 6 magnets in the local hardware store very cheaply.
I have stuck a magnetic either side of my knee joint with strong double sided sticky tape. I was amazed that the pain disapeared almost immediately and have been walking now without any pain; even walking a three mile jaunt last week!
The only trouble is that when I took them off, the pain returned!. But as I am only into the 'cure' for three weeks so maybe I might be able to take them off, come the summer, when I have to start wearing shorts!
Forget placebo effect! It really does works for me!

>Hello, I'm very interested in magnets as I'm a student chiropractor....

>And what do you think will be the outcome ?

Most likely, in about ten years you will recall your experiment and say to yourself, "What the heck was I thinking?"

Respectfully,

Okay I know it hasn't been 10 years but my little experiment seems to be gaining structure. I purchased 200  rare earth magnets about the sizr of a 2 pence piece. The individual strength of each magnet is 2500 gauss. I'm wearing 5 on each side of my body and sleeping on 10 durng the night. I'm increasing the amount I sleep on by 10 each week.

So far this has had a very calming effect on my body and I have definately felt a reduction of aches and pains that were in my body. I have not had a total reduction of pain however, and if I do an 18 mile walk I still haveaches but my recovery seems to be quicker.

I know of the company nikken but they do not tell you how many magnets, the type of magnets or the strength of  indivdual magnets in a product therefore the total strength of a product is a mystery.

Are there optimum gauss levels and/or quantities of magnets for individuals?

Do the magnetic suppliers need to be more accurate in thier prescription of magnets to taylor them per user?

Does the effectivness of magnet depend on body mass?

These are just a few questions I have and it seems the more I increase the amount of magnets around me the better I feel, promting more questions WHY

Until a few years ago I was highly skeptical towards the claims of health benefits from magnetic therapy and then as part of my previous job i got to regularly visit a company selling MagneTech products. After a while i got to know the owner and so i voiced my  opinions in an honest but polite way not wishing to upset him.
He listened and said it was OK as most people have the same opinion as me and only change their minds when they use magnetic therapy usually as a last resort.

He then took me into his dispatch office and showed me the walls which were totally covered with letters from people from all around the world thanking his company for their help and how their products had relieved there symptoms after many years of suffering often after their doctors couldn't help except for prescribing pain relief. He then opened a filing cabinet and showed me hundreds more, there were draws full of them.

Even so i'm still not totally convinced as there could be things like the placebo effect going on but now at least i would be prepared to use magnetic therapy products as a last resort whereas before i wouldn't have even entertained the idea.

Maybe if it wern t for the high cost of the products then more people would try magnetic therapy and then maybe we would know whether there is any truth behind the health benifit claims.

Greg I've now read up on neodymium, cobalt and a assortment of other magnets. I'm using N45 25mm dia x 3mm discs. I am as you suggested using the north facing pole to my body and I'm now sleeping on 80 magnets that I purchased directly from a magnet supplier for 0.42pence each.

I have also conducted some other experiments using stronger magnets positioned on the body and then introduced ethanol (alcohol) to the body to see if it had any affect on reducing toxins.

I was abosolutely amazed with the outcome and more experiments will follow, without a doubt.

I have been without pain since I started using the neodymium magnets and have a considerable success with friends who are willing to experiment with me. This is NOT expensive at all if you go direct to the supplier and avoid using fancy labled products were the company have put thier logo on a magnet.
