In China, France, Japan and especially in India, magnetic therapy has long been used to speed the healing of broken bones and soft tissue injuries.
In the US, magnetic therapy is sometimes considered a form of quackery. But following the publication of several "pro-magnet" studies in the journal of Electric- and Magnetobiology and other prestigious American medical journals, a few pioneering doctors in this country are starting to use magnets in their practices.
Already, magnetic therapy has proven effective at treating slow-healing fractures and arthritic knees and necks. Studies also suggest that regular use of magnets may reverse osteoporosis ...prevent heart disease ... slow tumor growth ... and boost mental function in Alzheimer's patients.
I know from personal experience that people sleep better and wake up feeling more refreshed after a night on a magnetic mattress. I sleep on one my self.
Is magnetic therapy safe? Absolutely. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines routinely expose patients to magnetic fields as high as 15,000 gauss-with no negative effects. It stands to reason that a medical magnet rated at 200 to 800 gauss poses little threat.
A variety of magnetic devices are now available-including mattress pads, seat cushions, pillow liners, magnet-studded bandages and simple handheld magnets.
