FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – MAGNETIC THERAPY
Q: Could it all be in your mind?
A: The placebo effect is said to account for 12% to 18% of all clinical pharmaceutical tests, including surgical operations. Therefore, the same statistic should be applied to all natural alternatives. If we look at the results of some double-blinded clinical and anecdotal studies conducted on magnetic and electro magnetic therapy, they have shown a 76% to 92% success rate on a range of different conditions. In my opinion, if those results were all due to the placebo effect, it would mean we could all just take one lolly a day and pretend we’re all better.
As there's no such thing as mind over matter with animals, they obviously don't experience the placebo effect. So it should come as no surprise that magnetic therapy has been used by vets on thoroughbred race horses for decades. in fact, some research suggests magnetic pain relief may work faster on animals than it's said to on humans.
Q: Do I have to plug the underlay in?
A: No. All BioMagnetic underlays contain permanent, natural magnets strategically placed throughout for maximum pain relief potential. Simply place your underlay on your bed. The therapeutic potential is ready whenever you lie down and may help with temporary relief of pain.
Q: I am taking “XYZ” medication. Will BioMagnetic affect it?
A: No it won’t. Because BioMagnetic is based on natural laws, some evidence has shown it to be totally compatible with all pharmaceutical products.
Q: What if I have stainless steel pins or plates?
A: That's not a problem. BioMagnetic should have no effect on them.
Q: How many magnets are in your products?
A: Our underlays contain up to 330 therapeutic magnets. Equally as important in magnetic therapy is the quality and gauss rating (strength). BioMagnetic uses magnets of up to 1,000 gauss.
Q: How long will the magnets last?
A: Be confident that you'll get many years of use from your BioMagnetic underlay. The fabric containing the magnets will wear out before the magnets stop working! In fact, all of our magnets have a lifetime guarantee and I'd suggest you may well experience the potential of Total Body magnetic therapy for years to come.
Q: Can the BioMagnetic Underlay be used in conjunction with an electric blanket?
A: Yes, it can. We advise that you place the electric blanket underneath the magnetic underlay. In a way, it's like receiving a deep-tissue massage, working on every part of your body, night after night. And the beauty of it is it's a one-off cost that lasts for years. Nor do you have to take it internally, make appointments or travel to obtain it. You simply go to bed!
Q: Can anyone use an underlay?
A: If you use a pacemaker, insulin pump or defibrillator or are pregnant, please consult your medical practitioner before using magnetic products.
Q: Is it important to use pillow protectors as well?
A: Yes, it is. We believe that in order to experience Total Body Magnetic Therapy you should have magnets under your head and neck as well. Like our underlays, BioMagnetic Pillow Protectors may assist with temporary reduction in pain.
In an Anecdotal Client Survey done on over 9,000 clients, the success rate was excellent. It was based on the magnetic underlay and magnetic pillow protector being used in conjunction with one another.
Q: How long will it be before I notice any effects?
A: As our anecdotal case study survey shows, everybody is different. 70% of users may get results in 2 to 4 weeks. A further 20% could take 4 to 6 weeks. The last 10% may take longer.
Q: I have a double bed, yet I sleep alone. Will a single bed magnetic underlay be okay?
A: We recommend that you use the correct size for your bed. This ensures that the magnetic underlay does not scrunch up as you sleep. All BioMagnetic underlays come with fitted skirts to ensure that it fits securely onto the bed for comfort and best results. And because BioMagnetic are reasonably priced, it doesn’t cost much more to get the correct fit.
Q: What can I expect when I first start using the magnetic underlay?
A: Some may find themselves getting a bit warmer or experiencing a tingling sensation. This may be considered a positive sign and usually only lasts a week or so.
A small percentage of users may experience an increase in their complaint. If you're one of those that do, don't worry. This is also considered a positive sign! It usually lasts no longer than 2 - 5 days.
Strange as it may seem, it may be an indication that the magnetic field may actually be having the desired effect. During this short period, increase your fluid intake. It is important to do everything you can to help the body do its job properly.
