How Magnetic Therapy Can Reduce Your Pain By Up To 40 Per Cent
By Debbie Shimadry

LIZ Roberts' Pershore garden is positively blooming this year.

The keen gardener has been out and about planting and pruning to her heart's content. But while this may sound like the norm for any keen horticulturalist, for Liz it is quite an achievement. For the past several years, the 64-year-old has had to relinquish her love of the garden as she suffers from fibromyalgia - a severe form of arthritis.

It causes her tremendous pain all over her body, and everyday tasks - including gardening - have become very difficult. But four months ago, all that changed when Liz, from Sheldon Close, discovered a treatment that she claims has reduced the pain she suffers by up to 40 per cent - magnetic therapy.

According to the Magnetic Therapy Council, therapeutic strong static magnets can help with the scores of medical conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, spondylosis, fibromyalgia, back pain, sciatica, diabetes, insomnia, migraine, MS, stroke, high blood pressure, poor circulation and many more.

Science has discovered that a magnetic field over and around the point of pain increases blood flow in the effected area. This increased blood flow carries with it greater quantities of oxygen, vital nutrients and especially endorphins which relieve and soon remove and alleviate the pain.

Magnetic therapy does not aim to replace existing methods of treatment but complement and assist in the reduction of painful symptoms and help speed up the healing process. After hearing about the treatment on the radio, Liz now uses a magnetic mattress cover and pillow pad, as well as insoles in her shoes, a back belt and a water wand - which magnetises drinks.
