Magnetic Therapy
During the past few years, magnetic devices have been claimed to relieve pain and to have therapeutic value against a large number of diseases and conditions. The way to evaluate such claims is to ask whether scientific studies have been published. Pulsed electromagnetic fields -- which induce measurable electric fields -- have been demonstrated effective for treating slow-healing fractures and have shown promise for a few other conditions.
"This is not magic, there is nothing mystical about this... We have tested magnets on more than 5,000 patients and there is absolutely no doubt… the treatment works!"
Robert Holcomb, MD, Assistant Professor a Neurology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center
"It is hoped that the use of magnetic energy can he kept non-prescriptive for easy availability for home and self use."
Dr. William H. Philpott, MD - New Hope: Magnet Therapy
"This is a revolution in the therapy for muscle injuries, joint pain and posture problems. We have treated 4000 patients with whiplash injuries by means of the magnets and cured 80 percent."
Dr. J. B. Baron, MD, Medical Convention at Baylor College of Medicine, Texas
"They (magnets) have proven effective more than 80% of patients... In some cases such as carpal tunnel syndrome, the success rate is 95%. There's no doubt about it - millions of people can be helped from chronic pain by the use of magnets."
W. Bradley Worthington, MD, Former President of the Tennessee Society of Anesthesiologists
"The application of a magnetic field has the virtues of simplicity, freedom from danger and low cost. It offers the lay man or woman a suitable form of self treatment for the minor ills of everyday life."
Dr. Evelyne Holzapfel - Magnetic Therapy
