Benefits of the magnets are not only used for compass and manufacturing industries only. Scientists have for years been researching the magnets healing properties. Many current health product that uses a magnet as a healing tool, but to benefit themselves sometimes have not been proven. Until now a lot of benefit from the magnet that has not been revealed. According Daily Record, Monday (11/14/2011), some properties of magnetic scientifically proven benefits are:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic resonance imaging scanner (MRI) in hospitals is the most common use of magnets for health. MRI uses magnetic fields to create detailed images and allows viewing of a different height if the doctor wants to know more details.
Treating Epilepsy
The use of magnets in the world of health care can relieve symptoms of chronic epilepsy. In a study conducted in German found that a magnet with a low frequency can reduce or limit the seizure and effective for patients who can not impervious to the usual treatment.
Ways to drive magnetic waves to the brain is by way of a magnetic coil is placed to the side of the head. The results of research that claimed by the researchers that the majority of study participants with convulsive seizures reduced by half by six to eight weeks is the time required by the magnetic treatment to survive.
Treating Arthritis
Peninsula Medical School conducted a study published in the British Medical Journal in 2004, researchers discovered that magnets can relieve pain due to arthritis in the knee and hip. But researchers also acknowledge that these results could be due to placebo effects.
Treating Alzheimer’s
The presence of the Italian study which revealed that magnetic treatment can help increase the activity of cortical brain and help patients understand the world around him better. Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry found that repeated magnetic stimulation can be beneficial to patients with neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Relieve Depression
Recognition of depressed patients who received the magnetic stimulation is more relaxed than if do not receive such treatment. The results of a survey of 190 people suffering from depression are conducted by a team from the Medical University of South Carolina. Half of the patients get the magnetic treatment. It turned out that the results achieved by 14 per cent of patients admitted to symptoms of depression become lighter. But for the placebo group, only 5 percent who feel an improvement.
Helps Heart Surgery
Magnetic particles are now used to help heart surgery. To help repair damaged hearts, scientists are using tiny magnetic particles attached to the stem cells. According to research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that the technique is effective in mice and to subsequently be tested in humans. Magnetic particle guiding cells to the target area so that the effectiveness of stem cells increases five times.
Dr Mark Lithgow the author of the study states that “a heart attack and other vascular injuries can be treated using injections of the magnetic body’s cells. This technology can be adapted to localize cells in other organs and become a useful tool for all kinds of cell therapy “. Professor Peter Weisberg, medical director of The British Heart Foundation states “research shows that Nano Magnets can be used to help therapeutic stem cells reach certain areas in the body, especially in the blood vessels where the blood flows faster with high pressure “.
Reduce Swelling
Results of research conducted by the University of Virginia proved that magnets can reduce swelling. Research conducted by scientists was found that by using static magnets can reduce swelling of rat hind legs up to 50 percent. The theory is that the affected area of calcium in muscle cells, causing dilation of the arteries. By exposing the magnet, dilation can be reduced.
