Animals and Magnetic Therapy.
Animals are prone to many of the same ailments that humans
are, such as arthritis, spinal problems, kidney failure, heart conditions,
immune disorders and joint problems. Conventional treatments used on animals are
also very similar to those used in human medicine. Magnetic treatments are just
as effective on animals as they are on humans.
Special animal magnetic devices are available to treat the most common ailments
of dogs, cats and horses. These devices have been developed by extensive
research by veterinary clinics. Unlike human medicine, magnetic therapy has been
embraced by the veterinary profession, with many vets prescribing magnets along
with conventional treatments.
Canine and feline disorders
Both canine and feline circulation is much faster than that
of a human, they have less circulating volume and magnetic fields are absorbed
much quicker than in humans. This makes treating dogs and cats much easier than
humans.
If magnets are placed around a dog or cat’s neck, ideally in a collar, the
magnetic field will be absorbed very rapidly into the carotid artery (one of the
main arteries that supplies oxygen from the heart to the head and neck). The
magnetic field travels around the animal’s body in a short space of time and
increases blood flow to the tissue and organs in the same way as it does in
humans, inflammation is also resolved and new cell growth will be encouraged.
This means that most canine ailments can be treated with a
magnetic dog or cat collar. The strength of the magnets and the number of
magnets required is related to the type and size of dog. The smaller the dog the
less magnetic strength is required. You must always be aware that the same rules
apply to animal magnets as those of human magnets; there must be a minimum of
800 gauss/80 m Tesla to penetrate into the blood stream. The table below gives
an approximate guide to the strength and number of magnets required to treat
various dogs and cats. Remember this is a guide as the type and severity of the
ailment must also be considered when calculating the correct strength and number
of magnets (the more severe the condition the higher gauss/ tesla rating is
needed).
