Magnetic Necklaces Information

Locally applied magnetic necklaces are designed to treat people with sore shoulders and have been used in Japanese and Chinese medicine for ages. While magnetic therapy products are best used in conjunction with massage therapy and cold compresses, many people appreciate that these items are cost-effective. Some scientists claim that the products work primarily because people want them to work, thus achieving the classic "placebo effect." Even so, $5 billion is spent worldwide each year on these products as people use faith and alternative approaches to help them when nothing else has.

The advertised benefits of a magnetic necklace includes pain relief from the lower and upper back regions, the neck and shoulders, as well as migraine headache relief. Moreover, alternative medical therapies are recommended for chronic disorders like TMJ, fibromyalgia, lupus and arthritis. The theory of magnetic pain relief is that the magnets will stimulate the blood's iron, improving circulation and oxygenating the blood. When used alongside heat/cold compresses and massage therapy, the magnetic therapy products are said to work especially well.

In addition to magnetic necklaces and other magnetic therapy products, there is a procedure known as trans-magnetic stimulation, which is expensive but proven effective to treat certain medical conditions. Just this year alone, TMS is credited with awakening a man from a coma and helping a stroke victim to speak again! Additionally, the FDA has approved the procedure to treat those suffering from chronic depression. For this non-invasive procedure, doctors use low electromagnetic waves and rapidly changing electromagnetic fields to excite brain neurons. The side-effects are said to be slim to none, which is part of what makes this brief treatment so enticing to researchers.

Bonnie Castleman wrote an online testimonial about magnetic necklaces, saying: "I have suffered from migraines for 22 years and for most of those migraines I'd end up in the hospital being treated as the pain was so extreme. I purchased a magnetic necklace in June of 2006 and have had only a couple of very mild headaches and absolutely no migraines." Sharon Enns added, "I have had severe back pain for the past 10 years resulting in two back surgeries. The second surgery resulted in the placement of a titanium rod against my lower spine. Within 24 hours of wearing the magnetic necklace the pain was gone." Jim Anderson wrote on another site, "I have a lot of arthritis pain in my shoulders. I purchased my first necklace in mid June. About 5–7 days after wearing it continuously I noticed the pain subsiding. The relief I felt in 2 weeks was unbelievable as the pain was nearly gone. It has not cured me but the improvement is so great that I am purchasing another necklace." While almost all buyers are skeptical initially, magnetic therapy bracelets and necklaces seem to help when nothing else will.

Author Michael Sherman published an article in The Scientific American, disputing the effectiveness of the magnetic therapy bracelet and other products. "Iron atoms in a magnet are crammed together in a solid state about one atom apart from one another," he explained.
