s a natural tendency to better perform and succeed in this negatively charged environment. These charges applied cause the body's water, because of its diamagnetic properties, to have a repellency affect. In response to this applied magnetic field, the electrons in the water molecules make slight adjustments in their motions to repel. Like water, blood too has diamagnetic properties, and is animated and repelled by magnetic fields. There has been evidence, shown in a study by Dr. Hackel (of Michigan State University) et al, that erythrocytes respond to magnetic fields in that they "are aligned and perhaps even displaced by the action of macroscopic magnetic fields." Such motion causes active antigen sites on the cell surface to take up positions that are favorable for reactions with antibodies (p. 227). This helps with reduction of inflammation and detoxification.Other noted affects are control of cell division and DNA, local pH regulated back to alkalinity, high oxidation levels promoting ATP production, increased secretion of growth hormone and melatonin and enhancement of enzyme activity (Barnothy, pp. 134-137). Like most other situations in the body, sometimes the brain does not send an adequate amount of negative charge to the site of the anomaly because your body has a limited energy capacity for generating magnetic fields. Your body cannot come up with enough gauss strength to heal certain maladies with the negative charge (Livingston, 1999).By taking all these factors into consideration, it would seem accurate to say that magnetic therapy could in fact be a beneficial modality in reducing pain and swelling in the body's tissues. They could even accelerate the healing process, due to the fact that negatively charged magnet can pick up where the brain left off. There have been studies that show magnetic therapy is successful, perhaps due to that theory.One example of this research is an experiment done by Baylor's Institut...
