Why not try a Bioflow magnet for yourself? Two million or more Bioflow users can
tell you that they have worked for them and, most importantly Bioflow
has no harmful side-effects. If it's YOUR pain at issue, you don't
really want to know why they work, just that they do. Peter

Please note, the article below is by a Dr Bansal, and does not represent the views of Discovery Magnets or the Bioflow company. I don't know who Dr Bansal is or how he arrived at the statements made below. The article has been included on this website, along with others, to represent a range of views about magnotherapy. In my opinion it is far too definite about the effects of magnotherapy and expresses as fact a number of unproven hypotheses. There is no doubt, in my opinion as owner of Discovery Magnets, that Bioflow magnets have had beneficial effects for many of my customers. For those, who feel they have not benefitted we offer a no-quibble money-back warranty. At the moment there are no large-scale definitive studies which unequivocally prove how magnotherapy works on the human body. (Or for dogs and horses either).

The beneficial influence of magnets may be summed up as follows:
1. When a magnet is applied to the human body, magnetic waves pass
throught the tissues and secondary currents are induced. When these
currents clash with magnetic waves, they produce impacting heats
on the electrons in the body cells. The impacting heats are very
effective to reduce pains and swellings in the muscles, etc.
2. Movement of haemoglobin in blood vessels is accelerated while
calcium and cholesterol deposits in blood are decreased. Even the
other unwanted materials adhered to the inner side of blood vessels,
which provoke high blood pressure, are decreased and made to vanish.
The blood is cleansed and circulation is increased. The activity
of the heart eases and pain disappears.
3. Functions of autonomic nerves are normalized so that the internal
organs controlled by them regain their proper function.
4. Secretion of hormones is promoted with the result that the skin
gains lustre, youth is preserved and all the ailments due to the
lack of hormone secretion are relieved and cured.
5. Blood and lymph circulations are activated and, therefore, all
nutritions are easily and efficiently carried to every cell of the
body. This helps in promoting general metabolism.
6. Magnetic waves penetrate the skin, fatty tissues and bones, invigorating
the organs. The result is greatly enhanced resistance to disease.
7. The magnetic flux promotes health and provides energy by eliminating
disorders in, and stimulating the funtions of the various systems
of the body, namely the circulatory, nervous, respiratory, digestive
and urinary.
8. The magnetic treatment works by reforming, reviving and promoting
the growth of cells, rejuvenating the tissues of the body, strengthening
the decayed and inactive corpuscles and increasing the number of
new, sound corpuscles.
9. Magnets have exceptional curative effects on certain complaints
like toothache, stiffness of shoulders and other joints, pains and
swellings, cervical sponcylitis, eczema, asthma as well as on chilblains,
injuries and wounds.
10. The self-curative faculty (Homeostasis) of the body is improved
and strengthened which ensures all the benefits mentioned above.
One feels in full vigour and can walk and work, more and more without
feeling tired.
How Magnets Affect Human Metabolism?
11. The magnetic treatment has the effect of energizing all the
systems of the body. The effect remains on the body for several
hours after each sitting with the magnets.
A continued treatment for a week or two, once daily for about state
of health, in general routine cases.
(This refers to very strong magnets as used by the medical profession.)
NOTE:
As magnets work on human metabolism mainly through the circulation
of blood, which contains haemoglobin and iron, it will be relevant
to state the position of iron contained in the body. The adult human
body contains 4 to 5 grams of iron and it can be traced to all parts
of the body. Most of it is present in blood as a component of haemoglobin
and a smaller amount remains in muscles and is called myoglobin.
The function of these components is to carry oxygen from the lungs
to muscles and other parts. Without iron there would be no energy,
and without energy, the beating of the heart and respiration would
stop. Thus we see that iron is very essential for our life and magnetism
influences iron radically and magnificently.
Magnetic Fields Ease Osteoarthritis Pain - http://www.arthritissupport.com/emailbulletin/

Scientists at the Institute of Theoretical Physics and Advanced
Studies for Biophysical Research have determined that low amplitude,
low frequency, magnetic fields are a safe and effective treatment
for patients with chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis.
In a double blind, placebo controlled, randomized clinical study,
176 patients were randomly assigned to an active or placebo group.
The active group received magnetic treatment, while the placebo
group underwent the same procedure with the magnets turned off.
Each patient in the active group underwent 6 exposures to a magnetic
field, at 8 minutes each, for a total of 48 minutes per treatment
session. There were 8 treatment sessions in a period of 2 weeks.
The magnetic field was generated by a Jacobsen Resonator, which
consists of two 18-inch diameter (46cm diameter) coils connected
in a series. These coils are attached to a function generator with
an attenuator that adjusts the specific amplitudes and frequencies
of the magnetic signal.
Each subject was asked to rate his or her pain level on a scale
of one to ten (one being minimal, ten maximum) before and after
each treatment session. Upon analyzing patient reports, results
showed pain was reduced by 46% after a treatment session in the
active group, and only 8% in the placebo group, indicating a viable
treatment option for pain relief.
