Legally Speaking: Magnetic
Bracelet for Arthritis
The US Department of Food and
Drug Administration do not allow any company to make unsubstantiated
claims. Included in this category are healing products for
magnetic therapy. Any healing claim for conditions and diseases
like arthritis, cancer, asthma, and AIDS are considered illegal
because magnet therapy still hasn't been successfully proven
to be effective.
Noted Problems about Magnetic Therapy
Magnetic bracelets for arthritis have not
been proven to be one hundred percent effective and will continue
to be considered so as long as the problems cited below haven't
been solved.
Magnets that are typically used in magnetic
therapy products have been discovered as lacking in flux density
to provide long-lasting results. Thus, any noted positive
effect caused by the product on the user's blood vessels,
bones, organs, and muscle tissues are not at all permanent
and will still require complementary help from other medications
or treatments.
Critics have pointed out how researchers and
other employed individuals in high-energy laboratories and
areas experience great exposure to immensely stronger magnetic
fields daily, but there is no evidence that suggests them
to derive any health benefits from the exposure.
Manufacturers of magnetic therapy products
themselves can not agree with each other as to the exact benefits
and even usage or SOP for their items.
What Researchers Say about Magnetic Bracelets
for Arthritis
A recent British Medical Journal study revealed
that magnetic bracelets for arthritis were able to significantly
reduce the pain affected individuals were experiencing due
to their arthritic hips and knees. The Peninsular Medical
School however noted that the said effects could either be
due to the magnetic therapy itself or simply a "placebo
effect" produced by the user's trust in the product.
The study had been able to provide supporting
data regarding the effectiveness of magnetic therapy. For
magnetic bracelets to heal arthritis then it should be equipped
with high strength magnets - anything less than 170mTesla
didn't seem to have any positive effect on a user's condition.
Secondly, existing medications being taken by the user shouldn't
be stopped just because of the use of magnetic bracelet.
The study's authors nevertheless acknowledged
that additional study was needed to make their findings conclusive.
Arthritis Research Campaign, who provided funds for another
study, states the same. They did not however see any danger
if individuals prefer to try out using magnetic bracelets
all the same, as part of their self-help process as they weren't
expensive anyway.
More importantly, they were safe to use so
there would be no harm at all in trying. The organization
at the moment was withholding approval from the alternative
treatment, but they expressed interest and encouragement in
further studies regarding the efficacy of magnetic therapy.
