a healthy attraction or a hoax? Until recently, there were no clinical studies taking into account the placebo effects that establish the efficacy of these ancient tools. But according to the recent issue of The Journal of Pain Management, featuring a study by Dr. Paul J. Rosch, president of the American Institute of Stress, using magnets with diabetic patients with foot pain had been called by Dr. Roch “a real breakthrough for treatment of diabetic pain” in cases thought to be progressive and until recently irreversible prompting Dr. Michael I. Weintraub, a clinical professor of neurology at New York Medical College, to suggest that magnet treatments ought to be put to use immediately. Indeed magnets have become the modality of the moment. Celebrities such as quarterback Dan Marino, golfer Jim Colbert, and actor Anthony Hopkins are among the thousands who have turned to the magneto therapy for relief of joint and muscle pain as well as a host of medical conditions.
Dr. Robert Becker discusses the benefits of healing with magnets in his classic on magneto therapy, Cross Currents. (Los Angeles, California, J.P Tarcher, Inc,1991) While researching why some broken bones do not heal properly he discovered that a positive electromagnetic field was created immediately after the trauma that lasted for 3 hours before becoming negative electromagnetic field. He was further able to demonstrate that negative electromagnetic field was necessary for the healing to take place. Therefore, the magnetics of injury is a positive magnetic field, and the magnetics of healing is a negative magnetic field. According to William Philpott, M.D, an authority on magnetotherapy practice and research, the most practical use for magnets is to always use the negative magnetic field for symptom relief and healing. To accomplish this it’s best to use flat surface magnets with magnetic poles on opposite sides.
