Although FDA has not evaluated claims for therapeutic magnets, the agency has
indicated that it will not object to the following statements for magnets --
- Provides Pain-Relief
- Improves Circulation
- Promotes Relaxation
- Enhances Well-Being
|
FDA has temporarily allowed magnet claims to be made for general pain-relief. It has yet to approve any static magnet for a specific pain indication. FDA certainly does not permit any marketer from making unsubstantiated pain-relief claims, and the agency's policy does not sanction any statement of unproven attributesor misrepresentations.
Possible Hypothesis for a Beneficial Effect of Magnetism & Clinical Proof Test
Red blood cells moving through capillaries, encountering a large magnetic field will most likely experience a net torque. This torque would improve the ability for red blood cells to squeeze through narrow capillary passages and reduce the effects of drag due to interactions with the capillary wall. This should be a VERY easy experiment to duplicate. Get a strong neodymium magnet and measure the flow rate of animal blood falling through a glass capillary, with and without the magnet. Simply measure the time it takes a fixed quantity of blood to fall through by gravity. The magnet should be large enough to cover the entire glass capillary. Maybe try glass capillaries bent into different shapes. If the experiment confirms the effect then you're convincingly verified magnetic therapy.
