Health problems and everyday complaints, used to be treated mainly by chemical drugs. Nowadays, many illnesses can be successfully treated with a small battery-operated Magnetic Stimulator. The mini-unit is designed for self-treatment purpose. As small as it is, however, it achieves major success. The treatment costs are low and there are absolutely no complications. Result of Research of the effects of Magnetic Therapy confirmed by research at the University of Saarland (Germany)
Pulsed Magnetic Fields have a pain-blocking effect
A series of animal experiments carried out by Canadian behavioral neuroscience researchers at Laurentian University suggest that weak Pulsed Magnetic Fields may be useful in helping brain-injured patients who are experiencing chronic pain. Years ago, researchers noticed that rats exposed to repeated painful stimuli (electric foot shocks) developed an increased tolerance for pain. The Laurentian group used weak magnetic fields in a pattern of 1 second on, 3 seconds off. This exposure is not painful itself but produces electrical signals in the brain similar to those elicited by repeated painful stimuli. They tested the ability of the magnetic fields to produce a pain-blocking effect.
Pain responses were tested in normal rats that had been injected previously lithium chloride to produce fore limb seizures which simulated human thalamic pain syndrome.
