FAQ
I : HISTORY OF MAGNETIC THERAPY
- 1. What is magnetic therapy?
- Magnetic Therapy is a kind of therapy using special magnets especially made for theraupetic purposes.
- 2. Where is the origin of magnetic therapy?
- For thousand of years magnets have been used by the Chinese, Egyptians, Chaldeans, Arabs, Greeks, Romans and Indians to heal. Cleopatra, the beautiful Egyptian queen was probably the first celebrity to use magnets to keep her skin youthful.
- 3. How and when did people start using magnetic therapy in this modern era?
- It all started when NASA sent their astronauts to the moon. When these austronauts came back to earth, they had to be quarantined for about 2 months because they had gone through a lot of changes physically and physiologically (one of them was the decrease of the bone mass). After some research, it was discovered that the source of these problems was because they had left a magnetic field. NASA engineers have worked hard to create a new kind of magnet for health therapy with a requirement that the magnet must have a high GAUSS, yet it must be small and light enough to fasten to the austronauts’ outfits or to the outspace craft itself. This was the origin of ND (Neodymium) magnet, which is used in BIOMAGWORLD magnetic products. The birth of the modern magnetic therapy started in Boston, USA, in 1976, when the first International Conference on Biomagnetism was held.
- 4. How is the progress of magnetic therapy these days?
- Magnetic therapy is getting more and more popular around the world, including Europe and the United States of America. BIOMAGWORLD is one of the pioneers in the use of bracelet and necklace magnetic therapy. At present many celebrities and world-class athletes, nation-wide as well as internationally, are using magnetic therapy for health reasons and for enhancing their performance and achievements.
- 5. Why do human beings need magnetic field?
- Human beings need FIVE basic elements in order to live healthily, namely Oxygen, Water, Food, Exercise and MAGNETIC FIELD. It is proven by experts that magnet deficiency in our body could lead to various kinds of diseases. If a cell does not get enough magnetic field, it will enhance the aging process within the cell, increase blood clotting, and aggravate the burden of the heart to block sediment in the circulation system which could lead to various illnesses in the blood, nervous system, digestive system, etc.
- 6. Is magnetic therapy a scientific or mystical (black-magic) treatment?
- Based on the experiment conducted by Dr. Robert Holcomb, M.D. –Assistant Professor of Neurology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center—it is said that “There is nothing mystical about magnetic therapy. We have conducted this kind of therapy to more than 5,000 patients and we have no doubt about the result. The healing process is real.”
- 7. Why should I use Biomagworld magnetic therapy products while there are many other cheaper brands?
- There are many reasons why you should use Biomagworld magnetic therapy products. All of our products use the Grade 2 Titanium combined with Neodymium magnet—a permanent earth magnet—whose strength is between 2,500 – 3,000 Gauss, which is the most ideal magnet strength for therapy and treatment. Besides, our products have other treatments too such as Germanium, Far Infra Red and Negative Ion therapies, all of which complement and optimize the magnetic therapy itself. All of our products have certificates and guarantees from Biomagworld. Many doctors and physicians in Indonesia and around the world have recommended the use of our products because of their proven benefits. Biomagworld has become the trend setter in magnetic therapy because its products have been proven to be very effective in enhancing the healing process, and are excellent in quality, guaranty, and originality compared to products from other brands.
- 8. What are the symptoms of magnet deficiency?
- There are several symptoms of magnet deficiency, for example, fatigue, exhaustion, prone to sickness (because the body immune system is not working well), easy to lose one’s balance, the decline of physical strength, etc. One clear example is one condition widely known as “JET LAG”, which is a condition that could occur to someone traveling by plane to a far away place for hours. When the person arrives in his destination and gets off the plane, he will usually feel uncomfortable in his body and he may lose some balance. Even after he goes back to his country, he could still be in this condition. For some people, this uncomfortable condition could even last a month after their trip.
- 9. How does magnetic field affect blood flow?
- When magnets are placed directly over a major artery such as the radial artery (the wrist pulse point) or the carotid artery (the pulse point in the neck), there is a much larger perfusion of blood flow so the magnetic field is carried further around the body. When the body’s blood flow is increased, oxygen, nutrients and hormones are distributed to the organs and tissues much more effectively and quickly. Your organs have a fresh, rich supply of oxygen and nutrients to nourish them, as well as hormones including endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkilling hormone.
- 10. Is there a minimum age to wear Biomagworld magnetic therapy products?
- It is recommended that people aged 13 years old and above wear our products. Children under 13 years of age who are suffering from health problems, may wear our products for a limited time and should not wear them continuously. In this case, it is suggested that they wear them for 20 minutes to 1 hour, twice a day or as necessary.
- 11. Is there any specific suggestion or prohibition while wearing Biomagworld bracelets or necklaces?
- Yes, please DO NOT use magnetic therapy if you wear pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump or other electro-insulin devices or during pregnancy. We also suggest that you drink at least 2 litre of water everyday (warm water is much better) while wearing our magnetic products.
- 12. It is said that pregnant women must not wear magnet therapy products. I am not pregnant at present, but I am planning to have babies in the near future, would it be OK for me to wear Biomagworld magnetic products?
- Should you wish to be healthy, we suggest you wear our magnetic products. However, once you find out that you are being pregnant, we advise you to stop wearing the magnetic bracelet or necklace so that the fetus growth will not be affected. When it is time for you to give birth and you plan to give birth naturally, it is recommended that you wear the magnetic products to increase your strength. This will help the birthing process to become faster and easier. Many of our customers have had this experience.
- 13. Is there any specific requirement to wear Biomagworld bracelets and necklaces?
- There is no special requirement except for people with blood pressure problems. It is suggested that people with high blood pressure (hypertension) wear North-pole bracelets on their right wrists, or on their left wrists if they wear South-pole bracelets. On the contrary, low blood pressure people (hypotension) should wear North-pole bracelets on the left wrist and South-pole bracelets on the right wrist.
- 14. Besides magnetic therapy products, does Biomagworld have other products using different kinds of therapy?
- Yes, besides magnetic therapy which is our main therapy in Biomagworld, we also heighten it with other kinds of therapy such as Germanium, Far Infra Red and Negative Ion therapies. Therefore, there is variety in our products such as 2-in-1, 3-in-1, or 4-in-1 products.
- 15. What is Germanium and what kind of health benefit does it have?
- Germanium is a basic element like iron and calcium, and it has a unique ability to correct the critical imbalance in human body. Based on the results of more-than-30-year research, a Japanese scientist named Dr. Kazuhiko Asai believes that germanium could restore health to those afflicted with disease and sustain health in those who are healthy. Germanium enhances the cells ability to generate energy by raising its oxygen supply. Researchers, including Dr. Otto Warburg –The Nobel Prize winner—believe that the main cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency within the cells. Dr. Asai also discovered that germanium is also beneficial in arresting osteoporosis by restoring a normal calcium balance, the compound that prevented bone volume decrease which often associated with aging. Germanium helps to maintain chemical balance within your body so that it is better able to withstand physical, emotional and environmental stresses.
- 16. What is Far Infrared Ray and what kind of benefit does it give us?
- Far Infrared Ray (FIR) is the most helpful ray to the human body. This ray does absolutely no damage to the human body but only palpates the activity of the organism. FIR is also called the “Light of Life.” It is seven times more effective at detoxifying heavy metal such as mercury, aluminum, and even cholesterol, nicotine, alcohol, ammonia, sulfuric acid and other environmental toxins which are released through sweat. FIR waves are capable of removing toxins, which are often the core of many health problems. Far Infrared heat enables capillaries to expand, thus enabling good circulation and combating the potential existence of cancer cells.
According to Dr. Kyuo from Japan, FIR therapy will increase blood circulation and oxygen supply to damaged tissues (aiding reduction of chronic joint and muscle pain or sport injuries), promotes relaxation and comfort, induces sleep and relieves stress. FIR can enhance, rather than oppose, the body's own innate healing powers.
- 17. What is Negative Ion (Anion) and what kind of health benefit does it have?
- In 1950s, Dr. Albert Kreuger, an Emeritus Professor at University of California at Berkeley discovered that negative ions are biologically active and they stimulate the production of serotonin, a very strong chemical compounds and a very active neuro-hormone which causes profound neural, glandular, and digestive effects throughout the body. Dr. Felix Schulman, a Pharmacology Professor at Hebrew University, Israel, supported Dr. Krueger’s finding by demonstrating positive effects of negative ions; irritation, tension, exhaustion, hyperthyroid response, symptoms of depression, anxiety, headaches, and low-energy physical and mental functions, were shown to be alleviated or totally eliminated by increasing the amount of negative ions in the air. Today's air-conditioned buildings, trains and planes frequently become supercharged with harmful positive ions because the metal blowers, filters and ducts of air-conditioning systems strip the air of negative ions before it reaches its destination. Dr. Robert McGowan from Northeastern University says that negative ions make burns dry out faster, heal faster and with less scarring. Other benefits of negative ions is its ability to catch heavy metals within the body, activate body cells, cleanse the blood, make blood circulation better, stabilize the nervous system, enhance body immune system, function as analgesia, reduce itchiness and drive out body odors, and improve sleep quality to a deep sleep.
- 18. What will happen if our body has negative ions deficiency?
- If your body has negative ions deficiency, it will lead to several conditions such as the blood vessels become narrower, the blood becomes more acidic and blood pressure increases, the bones become weaker, urinate process is affected, the heart throbs more rapidly, the heart becomes more tense, fatique and less energetic.
- 19. Is magnet therapy really efficacious?
- In Europe and America, a lot of books about magnetic therapy have been written and many researches have been conducted as well to prove magnetic therapy to be efficacious. On our part, we have also sold more than ten thousands products since 2006 and since then we have had lots of input from our customers telling us about the effectiveness of our magnetic products. Only a very very small percentage of customers told us that they found our products to be inefficacious. After further investigation, we found out that these people usually do not even wear the bracelet or necklace, or when they do wear it they only wear it for a very short period of time. Should you wish to read testimonies from our customers, please go to the “testimonial” section of our website.
- 20. Will the efficaciousness of Biomagworld magnetic products decrease if I take off some links to adjust the bracelet/necklace to my wrist or neck?
- The efficaciousness of Biomagworld magnets will not decrease if you have to take off one or some links so that it could fit your wrist or neck. Our products must be worn as close as possible to your wrist or the vein pulse in the neck.
- 21. Why didn’t I feel anything after I wore Biomagworld products?
- Our products have different effects upon different people because their condition, health level and metabolism are different too. If you do not feel anything, it is very possible that your body is very healthy. In most cases, long term use of our products will give a huge health benefit to the user. Since it promotes good circulation in the blood vessels, it plays a great role in illness prevention. Therefore, we suggest that you keep wearing the bracelet or necklace even if you do not feel anything because you will gain the benefit after wearing it for a long time.
- 22. How many bracelets or necklaces should I wear to maximize treatment?
- In normal condition it is suggested that you wear one bracelet or necklace only. Nevertheless, if you are suffering from acute diseases such as cancer or strokes, it is recommended to wear 2 kinds of products—bracelet and necklace—together. Please keep in mind that this magnetic therapy is NOT meant to replace the medication you are taking. If you feel that your condition is getting better after you use this magnetic therapy, we suggest that you consult your doctor should you wish to stop taking your medication.
- 23. Is it better to fasten Biomagworld products as tightly as possible or wear them a little loose?
- We suggest that our products be worn as closely to the skin, beneath which the vein could be found, as possible. However, should you wish to wear them all day, we suggest that you wear a size a little bigger than your wrist to increase comfort.
- 24. How long do I have to wear Biomagworld products?
- Wear Biomagworld products continuously. Testimonies from our customers indicate that benefit will be gained after a long duration, continuous usage of the magnetic products.
- 25. What kind of diseases or health problems that could be cured using Biomagworld magnetic therapy products?
- There are many health problems that could be cured using our products, some of which are:
Enhancing the immune system and blood circulation, enhancing the secretion system within our body which includes throwing off body waste such as uric acid, cholesterol and fatty tissues, solving blood tension problem, regenerating damaged cells and improve metabolism, increasing energy and stamina, enhancing and improving sexual ability, hamper cancerous cells’ growth, increasing the amount of oxygen within the body, reducing migraine, vertigo and headaches, curing insomnia, hamper the growth of bacteria and fungus’ growth, curing hair problem, skin and fingernail, solving digestive problem, liver and stomach functions, curing diabetes, decreasing obesity, ashma, bronchitis and sinusitis, reducing pain on the joints for rheumatic patients, enhancing healing process and enhancing overall health.
- 26. If I wear Biomagworld products, is there a guaranty that any of my illnesses or health problems will be healed?
- Only God can heal any kinds of diseases and guarantee your healing. Our products only help the healing process. Even the best and most famous doctor cannot guarantee that you will be cured after seeing him and taken the medicine he gives you. Therefore, while wearing our products, we suggest that you keep praying and asking for God’s healing since He is the source of all healing. Biomagworld products are not miracle products that can heal any kinds of diseases. The basic principles of magnetic therapy is to improve and enhance blood circulation, therefore once your blood circulation and condition is back to normal after wearing our products for some time, your body immune system—which God has equipped with the ability to heal itself—will gradually be stimulated so that you will become healthier and healed from any health problems. Almost 90% of diseases stem from an abnormal blood vessels and blood circulations.
- 27. Will Biomagworld products cause addiction?
- Scientist and therapy magnetic researchers have found no evidence that our products cause addiction. Therefore, you do not need to worry. Nevertheless, in our opinion there are two kinds of addiction, positive and negative addiction. Doing exercise or sports is an example of positive addiction, because our body will become healthier by doing regular exercise. Wearing Biomagworld products is also a positive addiction because by wearing Biomagworld products continuously your blood circulation will be enhanced which means you will also become healthier.
- 28. Is there any side effect if I wear Biomagworld products?
- “Magnet is 100% free of side effect,” said Prof. Ronald Lawrence, M.D., Ph.D, the author of “Magnet Therapy, The Pain Cure Alternative”, who is also the President of North America Magnet Association. In some cases, however, some people could experience a condition called “healing crises.” It is normal if you feel any warmness or hotness, numbness, itchiness, headache, frequent urination or defecation, or your body feels uncomfortable, for the first few days. This is because the blood circulation is improving and as a result your body is doing detoxification. Usually the feelings will settle after a few days. We suggest that you drink more warm water during this detoxification process to help your body deal with these “healing crises”. If you happen to experience such acute symptoms that you cannot stand them, you should stop wearing the bracelet or necklace temporarily. You can start wearing them again when these symptoms have disappeared.
- 29. How strong is the magnet used in Biomagworld products?
- Every magnet used in each Biomagworld product is between 2.500 – 3.000 Gauss
- 30. Will the magnetic strength of Biomagworld products become less and less if they are worn continuously?
- Theoritically, Neodymium magnets used in our products are permanent magnets that will not lose its strength unless it is used or kept improperly, for example, it is put very close to or on top of iron, catches fire or falls off frequently, all of which could change the molecular structures of the magnet itself.
- 31. Do Biomagworld products need recharging?
- All magnets used in all of Biomagworld products are rare earth Neodymium magnets. These magnets will lose less than 1 percent of their strength oven a ten-year period of time and do not need “recharging” because they are permanent magnets.
- 32. Could Biomagworld Titanium products be scratched?
- All of our Titanium products use CP grade 2 (Commercially pure grade 2) Titanium which is the same material used in medical surgery equipment and other medical equipment. We do not use the kind of Titanium used in the aircraft industry or outerspacecraft because this kind of titanium contains allergic matter for the user even though it is a very hard material. Therefore, just like other metals, the titanium we use in our products could also be scratched if not used properly.
- 33. Can I wear my watch and magnetic bracelet on the same wrist?
- Unless a magnetic bracelet is worn on each wrist, it is suggested that you wear the watch on the opposite arm where there will be no interference. If worn with a magnetic bracelet, there is a possibility that even a quartz watch may not keep accurate time since the magnet will damage the battery and the internal components or movements of the watch.
- 34. How do I clean my Biomagworld jewelry products?
- Clean your Biomagworld products as you would your jewelry collections. Use fine jewelry cleaner or cloth to keep it shiny and clean its inner part.
- 35. What do I have to do to care for and protect the magnets in the products I bought?
- Titanium is a non-rusty metal and in normal condition does not need special treatment. However, if your product is dusty or dirty, you can wash it with a little water or a mixture of water and soap. Dry it with a towel or soft cloth right after you wash it. Our products use a thin layer of glue that is safe for health to protect the magnet. If worn continuously, this glue layer will become thinner and thinner, therefore you should use the clear nailpolish to recover each magnet. Do it as necessary or when you see that the glue layer is becoming thinner so your product will continue to be in a good condition.
- 36. Do I have to take off my bracelet or necklace when I take a bath or go swimming?
- We suggest that you take off your bracelet or necklace when you take a bath or go swimming. This is to keep the magnet from unnecessary damage because the magnet cover will be kept shut and prevented from being peeled off.
- 37. Will the guaranty cover mis-use of products, for example products being worn while taking a bath or swimming, or any other mis-use that will cause damage to the product?
- Our guaranty will apply only if products are used as per our suggestion. However, should your bracelet or necklace is damaged because of misusing, we will be happy to help you repair your bracelet or necklace at our authorized service outlet, and there will be some repair fee for such a service.
- 38. How do I take off the bracelet or necklace links so that it will fit my wrist or neck?
- You could take your bracelet/necklace to the nearest stockist where you bought our products or you can take it to our head office for help. You could do it yourself too. You will need standard tools like pin pusher or bracelet/necklace holder and a small hammer. You must push the pin out from the bottom part of the pin (the ‘tail’). To put it back on you just have to push or insert it from the top part of the pin (the ‘head’). The “pin head” is the part where you can find a horizontal line in the middle part of the pin.
- 39. I bought your product almost a year ago and now the “clasp” has become loose. How could I fix it?
- Try the following steps:
- 1. Put the bracelet/necklace on top of rubber, cloth or soft wood.
- 2. Open the “clasp” so that the inner part of the clasp is facing up.
- 3. Find a small flat-tip screwdriver (about 7.5 cm) and a hammer.
- 4. Put the screwdriver tip between the clasp and the edge of the clasp.
- 5. Give a little bit of pressure to keep the edge of the clasp downward.
- 6. Hit the screwdriver tip with the hammer once.
- 7. Check the “clasp”. If it is still loose, repeat step 4-6 and gradually increase the pressure while hammering until you get a tightened clasp or you hear the “click” sound. Be careful not to hit too hard.
