As mentioned earlier there is a vast range of magnetic devices to choose from,
there are a number of different devices that will all treat the same area of the
body. You may wonder why there is a need for more than one device for each area
of the body and the answer is that because magnets have to be worn 24 hours a
days 7 days a week until the symptoms have been resolved a person has to be
totally 100% comfortable with the device they are using or human nature shows
that they will not use it. If a strap feels uncomfortable then it is very
unlikely that you will wear it all day and all night even though you are aware
that it will help you.
In order to combat this problem a wide variety of devices have been devised to
ensure that all most everyone will be able to find at least one device to suit
them and that they feel they can use 24 hours 7 days a week.
You may have the strongest healing magnets available but if you do not use them
as they are meant to be used you will not feel any benefit what so ever. The
vast majority of people who report a failure to receive any beneficial effect
from the magnets have not been compliant in their use. Just as a course of antibiotics
will only cure an infection if the full course is taken, the same can be said of
magnetic treatments, failure to use the magnets until the symptoms have abated
will result in a re-occurrence of the problem or worse the problem not resolving
at all.
Magnets should be worn or used until your symptoms have cleared. If you stop
using your magnetic devices before your symptoms have resolved, the inflammation
and pain associated with your injury may return very quickly. The best way to
use any magnetic device is to continue use for around 3-4 weeks after your
symptoms have disappeared. This will allow the magnetic field to ensure that all
of your symptoms have been resolved plus encourage new cell growth and healing
of soft tissues. There is no maximum length of exposure to magnets, you can
safely use magnets for as long as you like. Some people prefer to wear them
permanently as they do not want their symptoms to return.
Once your symptoms are alleviated and you stop using your magnets the benefits
will remain for a period of time. If your ailment is chronic and has no cure,
for example arthritis, the symptoms will eventually return. It is impossible to
calculate how long this will take as everybody has a slightly different
experience, as a general rule the more severe your condition the sooner the
symptoms will return. To prolong the time before your symptoms return you can
drink magnetised water on a daily basis, drinking just 4 glasses a day can keep
your symptoms from returning for weeks or even months. (See
