Magnetic Field Therapy for human and animals
Introduction/general information on magnetic
field therapy
Modern magnetic
field therapy with pulsating magnetic fields has already been in use in various
medical disciplines for more than 30 years. Its success has been examined and
proven in more than 7500 medical studies so far.
In the US, the
effectiveness of magnetic field therapy is recognized by the FDA. At the
beginning, mainly patients suffering from orthopedic disorders were treated
with the magnetic field therapy. In the meantime, the range of applications has
continuously been increased based on the past experience and intensive
research. For example, it is known today that there is hardly any disease in
which a supporting magnetic field therapy does not have a positive effect.
In modern medicine,
magnetic field therapy is becoming more and more important since it not only
activates the self-healing power of the body and can be used in the treatment
of many diseases as a result, but also because its circulation-stimulating
effects constitute an excellent prevention and increase the performance.
What is magnetic field therapy?
The central point of
magnetic field therapy is the effect of magnetic fields on the cells and the
ion transport which takes place at the cell membranes. Magnetic fields penetrate
the organism completely, including the individual cells. Each cell normally has
an electric surface voltage of approx. 70 to 90 mV which is used for supporting
the sodium, potassium and calcium ion exchange. Healthy cells maintain the
potential difference of the cell membrane through an active transport of ions.
If, however, the electric potential is not present, the metabolism is
disordered.
Consequences not
only include geriatric diseases. Constantly increasing factors acting on the
body, such as stress, lack of exercise, and environmental impact, which
contribute to an oxygen deficiency in the body and must be taken into
consideration when treating diseases, strain the consistency and are
detrimental to health.
This is where
magnetic field therapy becomes important. Pulsating magnetic fields can excite
the transport of ions by influencing the electrical currents support a
normalization of the cell's membrane potential.
As soon as the
magnetic field is applied, the metabolism of the cell measurably increases.
Additionally, general effects of the magnetic field therapy were found,
including pain relief, a spasmolytic effect, an anti-inflammatory effect,
better immunity, wellness and many more.
Magnetic field therapy - the functional
principle
The application of
the Magnetovital® magnetic field therapy results in a
significantly improved blood circulation which leads to a better supply of the
body's cells with oxygen and nutrients and causes an increase of the ATP
synthesis at the mitochondria. In this process, the energy-rich ATP (life
energy) is generated from the low-energy ADP and AMP, reacting with oxygen and
energy carriers such as fats and carbohydrates. As a by-product, carbon dioxide
is formed in this process, among other things, and transported out of the cell
through the membrane. The ATP obtained is required to maintain vital processes
such as the stabilization and maintenance of the membrane potential.
The membrane ensures
a controlled cell metabolism and provides cellular communication paths. In the
case of a reduced ATP production in the cells, a disorder of the membrane
potential or the active transport mechanisms of the membrane occurs. Due to
this disorder, there is an accumulation of metabolism products within the cell.
Due to the improved
blood circulation mentioned above and the resulting production of ATP, the Magnetovital® magnetic field
therapy positively influences the cellular functions so that pathological
cellular processes are undone and the physiological function of the cell is
restored. In addition to that, certain enzymes are activated which, as
bio-catalysts, cause chemical reactions in the cell. Magnetic fields affect all
magnetic substances. There is an interaction between magnetic and electric
fields. Electric charges are also influenced by magnetic fields. The electric
charge carriers subordinate to these influences which also determine the
mobility and movement of electrons and the whole flow of ions.
Most biological
processes are related to electrical processes or are supported by such
processes. Just think of the nervous signals or the potassium-sodium exchange
at the cell membranes. Nervous cells, as good electric conductors, are even
able to generate indication voltages and to pass them on so that organic parts
which are touched by these nerve paths are excited, in addition to the magnetic
influence, by real electric micro-voltages, pulsating with the magnetic field.
As one can see, all electrical processes in the body are affected by applied
magnetic fields.
If we assume that
the metabolism in the body is linked to the exchange of positive and negative
ions, the metabolism between the cell's interior and its periphery can be
influenced by the magnetic field according to the principle of ion exchange.
This finding is all the more important since it is known that in a disordered
(i.e. ill) organism, the cellular metabolism, the cellular voltage and the
distribution depend on the supply with oxygen and other energetic charge
carriers, which are disturbed in the case of ill animals. Magnetic fields
contribute to eliminate these disorders by way of a merely energetic influence,
moving the materials which can be influenced directly at the frequency of its
magnetic vibrations. The cell division rate is increased. Examples for this
include the quick healing of wounds and the accelerated decomposition of
haematomas.
Summary of the effects of MAGNETOVITAL®
The Magnetovital® therapy mainly influences the oxygen supply and thus
the supply of energy in the individual cells. However, it also has a regulating
effect on the vegetative nervous system. A misbalance in this system is the
most frequent cause of complaints. The functions controlled by the vegetative
nervous system affect the inner organs such as the stomach, intestines,
bladder, heart and the lungs, but also the blood pressure regulation. In these
times with multiple sensors to which animals with functional disorders react, a
harmonization of the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems cannot
be overemphasized. Magnetic field therapy can reduce the activity of the
sympathetic nervous system.
The following
therapy-supporting effects of magnetic field therapy have been verified by
studies:
1. Activation
of the sodium/potassium pump in the cell membrane with increase of the cell
membrane voltage.
Consequence:
Improvement of the transport of ions, excitation
of the energy/cell metabolism, improvement of the oxygen
utilization,
regeneration of cells, increase of vitality and functionality of the animal.
Ill cells have a reduced cell membrane
voltage (potential difference) with the
consequence that the oxygen exchange of the cell is significantly reduced due
to an
oxygen deficiency.
2. Improvement of the blood circulation due
to vasodilatation at the pre-capillary sphincters and, consequently, reduction
of the blood vessel resistance which results in an increased oxygen and
nutrient supply, improvement of the discharge of metabolism products,
de-toxication, removal of tensions, elimination of local acidosis, accelerated
healing of wounds.
3. Shift of the oxygen binding curve to the
right, resulting in an increased binding and utilization in the tissue.
Increase by 30 % possible (study Fardon 1966, Pereira 1967).
(natural performance
increase in competitions)
4. Release
of calcium: calcium is a messenger substance within the cells. An increase
results in an excitation of the metabolism, the cell division rate, cell
differentiation, reduction of vascular spasms, increase of sensitivity to
cortisol and adrenalin. Activation of the insulin receptors, regulation of
neuro-vegetative functions, activation of macrophages and T-lymphocytes.
(study: Carson 1990)
5. Additionally, the electrical transfer of
the nerve pulses is changed by the inductions, and mechanical stimulations are
triggered in the bones:
1. Induction voltage generated by the magnetic field in the nerves
and connective tissue generates stimuli which increase
the regeneration rate of
injured cells.
2. Pain relief: Hyperpolarisation of
pain-relieving nerve cells enables pain therapy by interruption of the
transmission of the pain stimulus to the brain on the spinal cord level, which
breaks the vicious circle of the consecutive increase of the muscle tension
(myogeloses).
3. Piezoelectric effects are of great
importance when it comes to healing bone tissue. Due to the change between
straining and relieving the bone, currents are generated which trigger off
repair mechanisms which result in an increase of the bone mass. Pulsed magnetic
fields have similar effects and support the growth of bones. According to
Schütz, the cell division of bone-forming cells is supported, too. According to
modern views, the bone cells loose their susceptibility to the inhibiting
hormone PTH from the parathyroid gland, which increases the activity of
osteoplasts.
In 1996, Liu, Abbot and Bee
published a study which shows that pulsed electromagnetic fields have an
influence on the decomposition of these sulfur-containing protein combinations.
This is very important for the treatment of arthroses (spavin).
6. Directly stimulating effect on nerve cells
(1998 University Göttingen, increased
nerve regeneration)
7. Stimulation of fibroblasts: this is
important for the healing of wounds. Magnetic field therapy directly acts on
the connective tissue cells. Like in bones, the cell division rate is increased
thanks to the calcium-influencing processes.
8. Activation
of macrophages and lymphocytes
(lymphopoetin,
immunostimulation)
9. Reduction
of thrombocyte aggregation (flow properties)
10. Regulation
of vegetativum (normalization of heartbeat,
improvement
of breath volume)
11. Regulation
of the plexus myenterius in the intestines with consequential digestion
activity
12. Reduction
of the susceptibility of the adrenalin receptors
(stress reduction)
13. Effect on
the water of the extracellular space;
The body water forms
a functional unit in the body. Through the structure (cluster) (storage of
information), disorders are transmitted immediately and the regulation system
is activated. Magnetic field therapy can have a positive effect on this
resonance phenomena in the form of tiny stimuli in the intercellular liquid.
The Magnetovital®
field therapy
system can be used daily to optimize the energy potential of each body cell,
which increases bodily functions and improves general well-being.
The magnetic field therapy system can be used to support:
