Magnotherapy


Magnotherapy is the application of a therapeutic magnetic field to living tissue. It has been used to promote healing for thousands of years and has gained in popularity for people and animals in recent years.

Reverse Polarity Theory

In the same way that the earth and planets are attracted to and orbit around the sun, atoms contain a nucleus with electrons orbiting around it. The introduction of a new magnetic field to the atom can result in the electrons’ orbits being moved, encouraging maximum efficiency in molecular bonding. Without the movement of electrons, changes in matter (water, blood and fuel) cannot occur. Ecoflow’s magnets use this process to deliver their benefits.

To ensure the maximum influence on electrons, Ecoflow has developed a patented magnetic modules known as Central Reverse Polarity (CRP) designed specifically to help move electrons. All matter that passes through a CRP field is subjected to the extra stimulus of 3 opposed directional forces. Molecules that exit a CRP field are more efficient.

Magnotherapy helps in 2 primary areas:

  • It assists electrolytes pass information by maintaining the electrical conductivity of living cells
  • It encourages cell oxygenation which helps maintain normal pH balance

Bioflow magnetic bracelets and boost products are available in a range of sizes and styles. They help to:

  • reduce pain (see BMA article on osteoarthritis below)
  • reduce inflammation and swelling
  • improve blood flow and circulation
  • boost energy levels
  • promote a good night’s sleep
  • these combined benefits help strengthen the immune system

Biopad contains 6 magnets and can be placed on your bed, chair, car seat or used in your pet’s basket

Biophone helps protect from electromagnetic pollution and is applied directly onto your mobile or cordless phone

Abstract

Objective
To determine the effectiveness of commercially available magnetic bracelets for pain control in osteoarthritis of the hip and knee.
Design Randomised, placebo controlled trial with three parallel groups.
Setting Five rural general practices.
Participants 194 men and women aged 45-80 years with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee.

Intervention
Wearing a standard strength static bipolar magnetic bracelet, a weak magnetic bracelet, or a non-magnetic (dummy) bracelet for 12 weeks.

Main outcome measures
Change in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis lower limb pain scale (WOMAC A) after 12 weeks, with the primary comparison between the standard and dummy groups. Secondary outcomes included changes in WOMAC B and C scales and a visual analogue scale for pain.

Results
Mean pain scores were reduced more in the standard magnet group than in the dummy group (mean difference 1.3 points, 95% confidence interval 0.05 to 2.55). Self reported blinding status did not affect the results. The scores for secondary outcome measures were consistent with the WOMAC A scores.
Conclusion Pain from osteoarthritis of the hip and knee decreases when wearing magnetic bracelets. It is uncertain whether this response is due to specific or non-specific (placebo) effects.
