Some also claims that the same magnetic field disrupts muscle contractions preventing muscle spasms to occur. The magnets also seem to block or the very least interfere the flow of sodium and calcium inside the body s cells. These two elements are responsible for sending pain signals to the brain. By blocking their movements, the magnets are stopping the cells to tell your brain that you are in pain. Magnets at work Put the magnet directly over the pain area. Adhesive bandages can fix the magnets in place. If they do not work the first few days, reposition the magnet over the nearest acupuncture point. (See the Internet or acupuncture books where they are.) If repositioning the magnet fails to bring relief within a month, odds are they are not going to work. Multiple sclerosis 30 people with multiple sclerosis underwent a 2-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled study using a PEMP device. The participants taped the device to one of the three different acupuncture points. The results showed statistically significant improvements in the treatment group, especially in bladder control, hand function, and muscle spasticity. And those half of the affected Americans, tend to believe that there is nothing that could help them relieve the pain. When it comes to arthritis, the magnets can increase the oxygen circulation. Oxygen is very important in revitalizing and the healing process of the body. It would help in releasing toxins and remove excess calcium in the joints. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and the Chinese have been known to have used magnets for treatments of various illnesses. In those times, however, the right sizes and weights of magnets that can produce noticeable effects are rare. At the end of the 20th century, smaller and stronger magnetic materials became available. Aside from little or no side effects, there are different studies showing that natural healing actually reap results. An example would be the use of four magnets on the back. Just place the magnets on the points below the shoulder blade and one to two inches to the side from the spine line. How effective are these methods?
