Peer-reviewed abstract on the effects
of magnetics on physical ailments
The impact of treatment with magnetic fields on a variety of
physical ailments are presented in the following descriptions of recent
studies, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Lung Disease
This study examined the effects of low-frequency magnetic
fields coupled with conventional therapies in rats suffering from inflammatory
lung disease. Results showed that rats receiving the magnetic fields
experienced significant reductions in lung abscesses and associated symptoms,
and similar beneficial effects were seen among a group of 165 human patients
receiving comparable treatment.

Lung Diseases," Probl Tuberk, 3, 1988, p. 53-56.
Lupus Erythematosus
This review article examined the data concerning impulsed
magnetic fields in the treatment of lupus erythematosus. Studies indicate that
the treatment can be beneficial due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic
effects, its positive action on microcirculation, and immunological reactivity.

Erythematosus," Ter Arkh, 67(10), 1995, p. 84-87.
This double-blind, placebo-controlled study examined the
effects of UHF and microwave therapy in treating patients suffering from
systemic lupus. Twenty-six patients were given 30-35 W of microwave irradiation
administered to the adrenal region. Twenty-five patients were given 30-35 W UHF
administered bilaterally to the temporal region. The treatment regimen for both
groups included 18-20 daily sessions. A group of 11 patients were used as
controls. Results showed both treatments to be effective, with 27 percent of
microwave patients and 66 percent of UHF patients reporting total elimination
of polyarthralgia, myalgia, and painful contractures.

Results of this study indicated that the bitemporal
application of ultrahigh-frequency electromagnetic fields to the hypothalamo-hypophyseal area daily
over a period of 18-20 days had beneficial effects in patients suffering from
systemic lupus erythematosus.
