Frequently Asked Questions about Magnotherapy and Magnetic Treatments
1:Will it work for my condition We don't know enough about magnotherapy or you to tell. You will need to try it and see for yourself.
But find a source with a good money-back guarantee. If it works, problem solved.
If it doesn't work, get your money back and continue looking.
But don't give up on magnotherapy after one trial, try something stronger or a
different method of applying magnotherapy.
2:I've got a pacemaker, can I still use magnotherapy
Yes, just don't use any form of magnotherapy that might put a magnet on
your chest. Early pacemakers used magnets to change the way the
pacemaker worked. Waving a magnet at one of these could cause
problems. But these days pacemakers are being designed to
withstand MRI scans.
So first ask your doctor for his advice. If he says 'keep
magnets away from your pacemaker', don't use a wristband, but you could
try one on your ankle, which won't get near your chest by
accident. Some manufacturers make wristbands with
extra-long straps for people who need their arms bare for their work,
but can wear their wristband on their ankle.
If he says no magnets anywhere near you, consider drinking magnetically treated water.
3.What's the Waterfall Effect?
One of the main effects of magnotherapy is to get the body's
circulation working better, more oxygen to the tissues and waste
products like CO2 and lactic acid out to the lungs and the kidneys and
bladder. If there has been a bit of a backup of waste
products, this sudden 'waterfall' of toxins can overload the kidneys,
and if you don't drink enough water, might make you feel
'flu-ey'. If this happens, drink more water to flush out the
kidneys.
That's the Waterfall effect, a temporary condition some people experience when they first start magnotherapy
