Science
and the Study of Magnetic Field Therapy
There have been more than 3000 studies made on MFT - clearly more
than have been made on aspirin.
Some of the research and its results are listed below together
with explanations for the impact of MFT. Research is being constantly
updated and extended.
Scientific
Proof
The efficiency of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy has been
proved and demonstrated in many different ways over the years.
- Dark field microscopy proves that clustering in the erythrocytes
can be cleared. This leads to: improved viscosity of the blood,
improved blood flow, enlargement of the surface area, increased
oxygen levels and reduced risk of thrombosis.
- Bone density measurements reveal a significant increase in bone
density after treatment over a fairly long period of time.
- Infrared thermography measurements show a warming of the skin
caused by improved circulation or rather a widening of the capillaries.
- The measurement of the skin conduction potential at acupuncture
meridian points (PROGNOS) method records the regulation of energy
in the body.
- A combined bio feedback measurement demonstrates he optimisation
of a large number of bodily functions after only a few minutes
of treatment with pulsed magnetic fields.
- Photoplethysmography measurements indicate on average a 45% improvement
in circulation in the area of microcirculation and an average increase
of 25% in blood oxygen levels.
After considerable experimentation
on himself, friends, acquaintances
and a few individuals diagnosed
with AIDS, all reaped some health
benefit. Dr Beck Soon,soon however,
realized that the blood might be
cleared of viruses or other pathogens
but these same pathogens could
be temporarily hiding in the lymph
system. To create the necessary
microcurrents in lymph and tissue
to neutralize viruses and other
pathogens, he developed a magnetic
pulse generator. Pulsed magnetic
fields create microcurrents in
lymph and other tissue. Externally
applied magnetic pulses to the
lymphatic system, the spleen, kidney & liver,
help neutralize germinating, latent
and incubating parasites of all
types, helping to block re-infection.
This speeds up the elimination
of disease, restores the immune
system, and supports detoxification.
Permanent magnets, no matter how
strong they are, will not produce
the same results as the pulsed
fields of Bob Beck's device, which
produces induced back-emf currents.

The term Magnetic Resonance
Stimulation Therapy refers to pulsating
magnetic fields of a low frequency
with a maximum intensity of 5 Gauss
(equivalent to 10 times the strength
of the earth's magnetic field).
Our experiences in the practice
and the following reports refer
to Magnetic Resonance Stimulation
Therapy.
However on this website we use the generic term Magnetic
Field Therapy mostly because this term is more familiar to
readers.

The PMF therapy is a
heatless therapy, therefore, all implants
(except heart pacemakers) can be treated.
Hospitals use PMF therapy to accelerate
the healing of patients with pins and
bone plates because no damaging heat
is produced in the implants. Fractures
can be treated even through a plaster
cast, since magnetic fields permeate
all materials
Darkfield
Microscopy - Blood Diagnostics
Darkfield
blood diagnostics give us an overview of the body's individual
environment and thus its tendency to become ill. It allows for
conclusions to be drawn on the individual's state of the health
and possible causes of disease.
The Process
A drop of blood is taken from the patient's finger and immediately
looked at (therefore in its living condition) under a special dark
field microscope. With the help of a video camera the picture is
projected onto a monitor and discussed with the patient. The patient
experiences a real time view of the therapy's effectiveness.
The procedure gives a valuable picture
of the "internal state" of
the patient's immune and metabolic systems.
Detailed information is available about the
PH balance, the oxygen saturation levels
of the red blood corpuscles, the degree of
oxidative stresses, hydration of the cells
and inflammations. Furthermore we can identify
the effectiveness of the blood corpuscles
(and any immuno-deficiencies)
and the status of the liver and kidneys.
Damage caused by environmental poisons, toxins
eg. heavy metals becomes visible.
Professor Dr G Enderlein's observations of
the micro-organisms living in blood (1872-1968)
provide valuable information on the
body's individual environment.
With the help of immune-biological medicine,
decontamination measures and by regulating
one's environment (nutritional advice, rebalance
of the bowel flora), disease processes can
be influenced and the
immune system can be stimulated.
Amazing results can be achieved particularly
with chronic illnesses.
The effectiveness of MFT can be seen by taking
a blood sample before and after MFT and observing
the differences between them.

In Canada, government licensing
even recognizes the use of a magnetic
bed as a medical device. With the
use of static magnets, the north
pole (south-seeking pole) of the
magnet has different healing qualities
than the south pole. North pole therapy
is generally described as "contracting,
healing, alkalizing" while south
pole therapy is described as "stimulating." Having
said this, a wealth of studies translated
from Russian and Japanese, as examples,
do not differentiate between north
and south pole for effective healing.

Magnetic Field
Therapy (MFT) permeates all cells,
enhances ion exhange, normalizes
circulation, and increases the oxygen
utilisation of the cell.

How
Does Magnetic Field Therapy Work with
Multiple Sclerosis?
Pulsed magnetic fields are used in the diagnostic
of multiple sclerosis and they can have a
role in its treatment as American researchers
have recently shown in a study. Weak pulsating
electromagnetic
fields have a positive influence on fatigue
and the general quality of life.
For centuries people have tried to use
magnets to alleviate pain but so far MFT
has not
enjoyed complete acceptance in traditional
medicine. It is fact that until recently
only a few scientifically
reliable studies existed. American scientists
have now proven that weak pulsating electromagnetic
fields could alleviate some MS symptoms.
117 patients with multiple sclerosis participated
in the research. For four weeks they were
exposed to a daily dose of a weak pulsating
electromagnetic field of low frequency. The
scientists paid special
attention to the effect of the treatment
on fatigue, blister control, spastics and
the quality of life.
Treatment with electromagnetic fields significantly
reduced fatigue symptoms and improved the
subjects' general quality of life. Mixed
results were obtained with spastic symptoms
and blisters were unaffected by the treatment.
In the opinion of the authors a treatment
with pulsating electromagnetic fields can
alleviate some MS symptoms. Thus their data
confirm
the results of earlier research with smaller
numbers of participants. The heads of the
research endorse further investigation to
clarify
whether patients benefit from ambulatory
treatment or whether they can profit from
the beta interferons of this treatment.

Physiotherapy:
Magnetic Field Therapy Influences Arterial
Muscle Tone
A study involving rats has shown that MFT affects the muscle tone
of capillaries dependant upon their original state.
Around 2000 years ago the Chinese already practised MFT. In the
21st Century the industry generates around 500m US Dollars a year.
Only sporadic reporting of MFT's effects mean that only limited
evidence of its potential is available.
Scientists at the University of Virginia are now examining the
effect of static magnetic field therapy on the micro vascilliary
tone of skeletal muscles. They base the research on the assumption
that MFT can improve blood supply by changing this muscle tone
and therefore help with injuries, inflammations and other pathophysiological
conditions. The scientists measured the changes in capillary width
in the spinotrapezius muscle of Sprague Dawley rates which were
exposed to 15 minutes of MFT. Before, during and after the therapy
the muscles were examined with the aid of scans.
Results showed that originally expanded capillaries contract themselves
and contracted capillaries expand following treatment with MFT.
From this study we can conclude at the very least that MFT has
a certain influence on capillary muscle tone so the therapy is
applicable to ischemic (contracted capillaries) and/or edematous
(expanded capillaries) conditions.

Research Results Verify the Effects of
MFT on Patients with Diabetes and Poliomyelitis
Bremen. The Greeks of antiquity used magnets to treat their soldiers'
injuries and
The menstruation pains of their women. Then magnets faded into
oblivion as a treatment source. For a while they were even treated
with suspicion. Only now have magnets returned to popularity as
a method of healing. At the present time 'healing magnets' generate
a five billion Dollar industry worldwide with the majority being
used in the USA…. and in Germany where the number of devotees
is growing.
| Numerous testimonials from individuals
who use a magnetic pulse generator
on tumors, lymph, teeth and organs
support the effectiveness of providing
the body with both microcurrents
and magnetic therapy. The research
studies on pulsed magnetic fields
(many conducted in Russia) indicate
they are effective in many cases
to improve circulation, accelerate
tissue regeneration, regulate the
nervous system, reduce inflammation
and relieve pain. Studies in the
US indicate pulsed magnetic fields
may help speed the healing of fractures
and have proved effective in fractures
that would not otherwise heal. |
Renaissance
in the Use of Magnets Took Place in
Japan
The magnetic Renaissance ended up occurring in Japan in the 1960s
where they developed small magnetic plasters of the size of a one
mark piece. These are fastened with the North Pole facing downwards
onto the skin. These were improved upon with time. For instance
the north and south poles of the so called magnetic foils are coiled
together alternately in circles. They can be concealed under clothing
and long past are the times when patients had to stand on large
magnetic blocks. Nevertheless the question remains whether technically
refined magnets can actually help.
A recently published study from the USA (JAMA, 283 (2000), 1322-1325)
gave rather sobering results. Here 20 patients had magnetic plasters
placed on their backs to treat back pain; some of them were treated
to placebos. The result; after four weeks both groups were only
somewhat better with the magnets performing no better than the
placebos. However the research was strongly criticised as the test
patients only wore the magnets for 18 hours per week. "the
correct application requires the magnets to be worn 24 hours a
day on the skin" stresses Dr Michael I Weintraub of the New
York Medical College in Briarcliff in the US Federal State of new
York.
Weintraub carried out a study with 24 patients who suffered from
peripheral polyneuropathy as a complication of their diabetes mellitus
(J Pain Manage 9, 1999, 8). On one foot they inserted a magnetic
sole, on the other, a placebo.
" Magnetic Feet" Showed Clear Improvement
A month later the patients' "magnetic feet" were
clearly improved. The pain had substantially decreased in comparison
to the other foot.
In another American study the magnets were tested
on 50 patients. They had had poliomyelitis and
now had chronic join pain (Arch
Phys Med Rehabil 78, 1977, 1200). Magnetic foils with alternating
polarity led to three quarters of the test subjects having
a clear reduction in their complaints. In Germany
the Munich Dr. Michael
Kris has worked for some time with permanent magnets and in
his
opinion "the success rate of this treatment on patients with
soft tissue injuries is more than 70 percent".
| Alzheimer's Disease
After applying external electromagnetic
fields ranging 5 to 8 Hz, large improvements
were detected in Alzheimer's patients.
These included improved visual memory,
drawing performance, spatial orientation,
mood, short-term memory and social
interactions. Ref R. Sandyk, "Alzheimer's

Blood Vessels
Expand
Magnets have a very real pain reducing effect.
Physiologically this effect is explained
by magnetism expanding blood vessels and
improving blood flow. The results of laboratory
research have so far revealed no harmful
side effects nor are they expected. The
World Health Organisation declares static
magnetic fields of up to 20,000 Gauss as
harmless and magnets used for treatment are
only of between 300 and 5,000 Gauss. It is
however difficult to
acquire these magnets in Germany and they
are more accessible on the Internet or through
advertisements in women's magazines.
Certainly headlines like "the absolute pain relief weapon
from Japan" make the treatment seem less respectable. In addition
it is often unclear which type of magnet is being sold. Inexpensive
products are usually the simple magnetic plasters which do not
always work whereas the Magnetic foils with alternating polarity
are substantially more expensive. But their abilities are well
documented. They have recently been designated as "LiTai" in
pharmacies.

Magnetic Field
Therapy
The first use of magnetic fields
in the treatment of PA is attributed to Basset who
published his first clinical results in 1974.
The health benefits of magnetic fields with PA is due to the imitation
of the physiological cell potential by the low-frequency alternating
current. The cell's own membrane potential is overcome which induces
a cellular change so that bone healing can progress. Good conduction
conditions for the current applied are needed to guarantee success
ie. Deperiostized bones, unstable and atrophied PA worsen because
of the higher electrical resistance of the stimulation.
MFT helps where vital fractures are not healing and it also helps
to treat calluses.
Contraindications arise from electromagnetic
resistance such as proximity to a cardiac
pacemaker and ferrousmagnetic osteosynthesis
material.
High-energy dynamic magnetic fields with
curve amplitudes of up
to 20 Gauss must be applied for up to 10
hours daily. A newer generation, which work
by using low-energy dynamic magnetic fields
within a
static magnetic field with a curve amplitude
of only 0.4 Gauss, need only be applied for
30 minutes daily.
Magnetic field therapy is not very common
despite supporting clinical evidence in German
speaking countries. Healing rates in the
treatment
of PA in larger clinical studies are between
70-85% (multi-center study in the USA - Orthologic
6'96, S Sattler et al. - Bangladesh
Med. Res. Counc. Bull. 4'99).

Sleep
Disturbances
About 26% of the population suffer from sleep disturbances. More
than 88 different forms have been identified. More than 50% suffer
in the over 60s age group. Alongside a range of medical and behavioural
measurements, evidence exists that pulsed magnetic fields can lead
to improved sleep patterns and reduced daytime tiredness. A goal
of this investigation was to evaluate the influence on daily fatigue
of a regular application of magnetic fields. Altogether 150 patients
with non-organic sleep disturbances were included, about 75 of
whom would use magnetic field treatment for two weeks.
The results were determined on the basis of three internationally
valid scales. On the Epworth scale (maximum 24 points) a clear
decrease showed of daily tiredness of on average 11.6 +/-1.3 …… after
application of magnetic fields while in the control group (initial
level: 11.4 points) no significant improvement was attained. On
the Stanford Sleep Scale (Max 7 points) the magnetic field group
reached 3.1+/-0.2 points …. From an original 5.3+/-1.1 points.
Once again no improvement was noted in the control group (initial
level:5.0 points). With the self-evaluation group (max 40 points)
the magnetic field group went from an initial 28.2+/-2.2p points….
To afinal score of 16.1+/-2.2 points while the control group (start
value 26.5 points) showed no significant change. These results
prove that magnetic field therapy reduces daily tiredness which
leads indirectly to an improvement in sleep patterns. Further polysomnographic
investigations confirm this assumption.

Pulsed magnetic fields have
proven to help by increasing oxygen
in the cells, improving cell metabolism
and enhancing mineral exchange
Through the principle of
induction, this magnetic field
creates tiny electrical micro-currents
in living organic materials that
contain an electrolyte such as
saline.
Pulsed magnetic fields, in
addition to the healing qualities
of static magnets, produce microcurrents
of electricity in body cells
and tissue. This was the purpose
in the development of a magnetic
pulse generator for health.

Treatment
of Pain
Magnetic fields and electric current are
related. Each current, and that includes
the current in electrical circuits, creates
a
magnetic field. Each reversal of a magnetic
field creates an electrical field. This mutual
induction of variable electrical and magnetic
fields is the basis of the Maxwell equation
in physics. These laws
of physics lead to eg. the fact that moving
electrical charges align themselves into
a constant magnetic field. Nuclear spin tomography
(MRT) is based upon these laws. Moving electrical
charges for eg.
electrons or loaded molecules produce a small
magnetic field and work like elementary magnets
which can interact with constant magnetic
fields. A variable magnetic field creates
an electrical field which
in itself exerts a force on resting electrical
charges.
Biological procedures are
usually achieved through electrical operational
sequences for example all nerve information
transfers. Important procedures in the
cell
depend on oxygen and other carriers of
energetic charges which are magnetisable.
When the
organism is ill, however
these procedures are often disturbed which
leads to metabolism disorders. There is
a reduced power supply in the cell and a
build
up of waste products within the cell as
they cannot be effectively
removed. Applying a magnetic field allows
the electrical operational sequences to
realign and poisoned and inactive cells normalise.
The fact that almost all disease affects
the cells, our smallest independent biological
unit, explains MFT's high success rate.
Stimulation of the cells leads to increased
metabolism and efficient
disposal of wastes and toxins. Toxins can
be removed and the healing process is enhanced.
Continuous, non-pulsating magnetic fields
do not change inactive charges. Therefore
pulsating magnetic fields should be used
in
treatments. The energy fields work at a
deep level which reach all parts of the
body like the internal organs or bones
which cannot
be treated through other methods.
Although more scientific proof of the effects
and mechanism of MFT is needed, pulsating
magnetic fields of certain frequencies
and intensities are very well researched
and are proving very successful.
The therapy is used mainly with inflammations
and pain and supports wound and bone healing.
It is suitable for stabilizing the immune
system eg. with infection and metabolism-dependent
allergies and
in particular for the improvement of the
bone and cartilage structure with joint
problems after sport and spinal injuries.
It is effective
in pain alleviation with migraines and
headaches, for hormone balance and for
the treatment of rheumatic conditions (acute
and chronic).
Similarly positive results have been achieved
for the treatment of blood circulation
disorders which affect the metabolism (eg.
with gout and diabetes) and blood pressure.
Bronchitis and asthma,
vertigo and tinnitus can be treated. Even
patients with carcinomas can be treatable
with regard to pain therapy.
Many applications and the theoretical bases
of MFT have been scientifically proven
however not every human responds in the
same way. The exact
mechanisms of the effect of magnetic fields
on the body and optimal therapy doses are
still unclear. In all other respects MFT
treatment
devices fall under medicine product law.
To summarise MFT therapy devices can often
be a very useful complementary method to
traditional medicine. Unfortunately there
are a wide
range of therapy devices on the market
whose uses are questionable. With magnetic
field therapy it is often the case that
after the
initial therapy complaints could worsen
for a short time. These reactions often
indicate the beginning of the healing process.
It must be mentioned however that aggravated
symptoms could also
be caused by the progression of an illness
and are not an absolute indicator that
an improvement has been affected. In principle
magnetic
field therapies should only be applied
under medical supervision since only the
physician can assess whether the healing
process
and/or pain relief has been caused by the
treatment or whether it there has been
a deterioration.

| Human and animal organisms consist
of a large number of cells which
function electrically. If there is
no electrical potential left in the
cell, it is no longer viable. These
cells have a basic (or rest) potential
that is necessary for normal cellular
metabolism.
Diseased or damaged cells
have an altered rest potential.
If the ions (electrically charged
particals surrounding the cells)
move into an area of pulsating
magnetic fields, they will be
influenced by the rhythm of the
pulsation. The rest potential
of the cell is proportional to
the ion exchange occurring at

PEMFs appear to heal the
body removing inflammation and
restoring circulation. By increasing
blood flow to a diseased site on
the body, increased nutrients become
available to speed the healing
process. In fracture healing, for
example, the use of magnetic fields
increases the adherence of calcium
ions to the blood clot formed at
the site of the break. This allows
for the proper formation of the
callus that is necessary for fractures
to heal properly.
In the eastern view of healing,
magnets help restore the energy
flow of the body to allow healing
and proper metabolism. This is
similar to one of the theories
used to explain the positive
affects of acupuncture as well

Effects
of MFT
It was noticed that MFT works in two different ways: on the one
hand it works on the individual cell and therefore directly on
the different organs, on the other hand it gives the governing
organs of the body impulses that can regulate individual organs
and the functions of the body. On one hand it provides for the
fitness of the individual organ and on the other hand it rectifies
malfunctions or poor performance in organ control.
A further positive effect occurs in the cells' Ca+ ions which,
together with a changed pH value, lead to the so-called calcium
cascade. Calcium is an essential messenger conductor in the cell.
As a consequence of the raised calcium levels the metabolism is
stimulated as well as specific cell functions. The following processes
are:
- Activation of macro phages, thereby improved waste disposal from
tissue and blood and in addition, resistance to pathogens.
- Activation of the metabolism by acceleration of essential processes.
- Production of nitrogen monoxide which relaxes the tissues of
the blood vessels and therefore expands them. As an essential component
of nitroglycerin it is important in the primary care of cardiac
infarcts.
- Optimization of blood pressure. Blood pressure adjustment sensors
are found in the brain stem which can positively react to shifts
in calcium levels. Blood pressure receptors in the carotid arteries
are also positively influenced and narrowing of the vessels is
avoided.
- Stimulation of cytokines For eg. explain MFT's very high success
rate in the treatment of wounds and in general orthopaedics.
- Reduction in sensitivity when adrenaline and cortisol are administered
and therefore lowered stress.
- Activation of insulin secretion in the pancreas.
- Increase in the pain threshold at free nerve endings.
Possible contraindications eg. electrical implants (eg. cardiac
pacemakers), epilepsy and pregnancy.
