Magnetic Therapy Treatment of Arthritis:
Chief Complaint: Very painful daily - swollen, sore, thumb and muscle; stiff, sore finger. Diagnosis: Right thumb (saddle joint) arthritis; middle finger stiffness. Duration: 1 year.
Results: During 3 hours of treatment: “Had little prickling sensation and all of a sudden something came out on the side of my thumb.” She said she heard a “pop;” felt like something opened up on the wrist. She said that all of a sudden during the treatment she had the sensation that something was draining out of the saddle joint of her thumb. It was as if there was a hole in the joint and the arthritis was “draining” out of her hand. “It was weird . . . I got off the machine to look for the hole in my hand and found none.” After treatment: Middle finger is no longer stiff and she can bend it. Before Magnetic treatment: Finger in the morning was so stiff she had to use her other hand to straighten it out. It felt like there was no lubricant in it. Now it is fine. The thumb was swollen and very painful daily. She had three months of physical therapy but it didn’t help like the magnet. Currently: “Finger is completely healed. The thumb still is sore sometimes, but there are days when it doesn’t hurt at all. The swelling is completely gone. Probably need 1 to 1-1/2 hours more treatment.”
2. Arthritis - Hands:
Came to us because she has severe arthritis in her hands. She had been relieving the stiffness and pain in her fingers and hands through acupuncture. But acupuncture was beginning not to work anymore. She however was adamant about steering away from Western medicine, but if it was natural, then she didn’t mind trying it.
Results: 10/20 – 2-3/4 hrs. of treatment: “. . . felt little shocks . . . able to move my hands again . . . my pain and needles and stiffness is gone now.”
10/26 – She went home, she felt tired but at 7:00 p.m. she felt “burning warm” at fingers and toes, and she was full of energy and painted until 12 midnight. Next morning her fingers were totally free of pain. Pain free for three days, so she’s back to finish treatment on fingers.
10/26 – 2-1/4 hrs. of treatment: This morning when she came in, one finger was stiff. Stiffness is moving around. “I love it! It is working! . . I am going to do my shoulder next.”
10/29 – 2 hrs. of treatment: Shoulder feels good.
11/5 – 2 hrs. of treatment: Right foot – toes feel great. Perfect! Hands feel better.
Patient continued to come in four more times for 2-hour treatments with hands, shoulder and toes feeling good. – Patient, age 48.
