MEDICAL BIOMAGNETISM

Medical Biomagnetism & Bioenergetics, also known as Biomagnetic Pair Therapy or simply Biomagnetism, is a non-invasive, complementary therapy using magnets of medium intensity and opposite polarities applied by pairs to balance the body’s pH levels and remove energetic blockages. Biomagnetism restores homeostasis and pH balance, neutralizes pathogens, decreases inflammation inside the body, supports detoxification, and revitalizes the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

While magnets have been used for healing across cultures for centuries, Medical Biomagnetism or Biomagnetic Pair Therapy refers specifically to the practice of placing pairs of medium strength magnets of opposite polarity on the body in positions discovered by Mexican physician and scientist Dr. Isaac Goiz Durán. Although Biomagnetism is still relatively unknown in the United States, it is a popular non-invasive complementary therapy in Spanish-speaking countries, such as Mexico, Ecuador, and Spain where it is taught at university medical schools. Dr. Goiz began his career as a physical therapist, later obtaining a Medical Surgeon degree from the Autonomous University of Puebla in 1984. Specializing in pulmonology, he practiced in Mexico City and became frustrated with the medical-industrial complex’s efficacy of care, restricted by high costs and lack of providers in rural areas. So he began exploring alternative modalities. In 1988, he attended a lecture on bioenergy at the University of Guadalajara, Mexico, where Dr. Richard Broeringmeyer, presented his theory on “the Enigma of the Short Leg”. As Medical Director of NASA in the 1980s, Dr. Broeringmeyer studied the effects of the lack of gravity on the bodies of astronauts. He discovered that when astronauts were away from the electromagnetic field of Earth, they would return with one leg 1/4-3/4 inches shorter than the other. Through experimentation with magnets, he was able to restore this shortening and discovered a relationship between the pH states of certain parts of the body and their functions, concluding that magnetic polarization led to pathological states of disease. To learn more about Dr. Broeringmeyer’s discovery, you can read his “Principles of Magnetic Therapy” published in 1987. Inspired from the lecture, Dr. Goiz reflected on the Eastern medicine concept of Yin and Yang and theorized that if Dr. Broeringmeyer attained success with one magnet, a pair of opposite polarity magnets working in tandem might lead to a greater outcome. He began experimenting with family, friends, and neighbors, discovering the first pair: Thymus-Rectum. Throughout his work he discovered over 350 pairs, successfully treated 250,000+ patients, and trained over 20,000 health practitioners worldwide.

In 2010, Dr. Goiz authorized his student Helena Guerrero of San Francisco, California to organize trainings in the United States. In 2011, Helena translated his teachings from Spanish to English, and began training English-speakers in Medical Biomagnetism for the first time. Danielle is honored to continue sharing the legacy and great work of Dr. Goiz and Helena Guerrero with English speakers in the United States.

Benefits:
Biomagnetism is a powerful therapy for all illnesses and clients have reported benefits such as:

• stimulated normal function of the immune system

• increased microcirculation, systemic blood flow, and oxygenation

• reduced chronic inflammation, fatigue, and pain

• accelerated healing of wounds and infections

• activated parasympathetic response

• restored emotional imbalances and mental well-being

• decreased severity of autoimmune disease symptoms

Sessions:
The negative polarity of magnets and muscle testing will be used to determine placement of the pairs. If the client’s leg shortens during testing, a magnet with negative polarity will be placed, and its pair will be tested with positive polarity until the leg rebalances. The magnet pairs will be held with either towels, headbands, holders, or masking tape (depending upon the location), and will remain there for 17-20 minutes. After the treatment time for the pair has ended, the leg shortening will be tested again to ensure the body has restored balance. Pairs are tested and placed one after the other, without waiting for the treatment time to end. The entire process will take at least an hour, but if it is the initial session or there is a chronic illness, the appointment may last for two and a half hours. There will be magnets that need to be tested and placed in sensitive areas such as the pelvis. To accomplish this, there will be a magnetic bar or a long strip of masking tape held on either side of the client with a magnet in the middle. If this process seems uncomfortable mentally or emotionally, you are welcome to position the magnet yourself in sensitive areas.

Attire:
Clean unworn socks are mandatory. At the beginning of the session, you will have an opportunity to change your socks into a clean pair you brought with you. If you did not bring a clean pair of socks, a brand new pair of socks will be given to you and added to your bill. Sanitized medical shoes will be applied over your socks for the duration of the appointment. Please wear form fitting clothing (including pants) that you are comfortable laying down in for a prolonged period of time. You will remain fully clothed during a session, and no garments will be removed, with the exception of jewelry and metal accessories such as belts. Magnets will be applied to the outside of your clothing and some may be taped down via masking tape.

Expectations:
Each client and each session differ based upon the emotional and energetic needs of the body at that time. Many clients fall asleep during a session, some experience crying, and others occasionally laugh. All reactions are valid and welcome. Please remain still during your appointment — the magnets are powerful and by moving, the pairs might snap and pinch skin. Sessions will be at least 1 hour long, but can last up to 2.5 hours depending upon how many pairs are discovered.

Post-Session:
Post session, most clients feel immediate relief, however some clients do experience symptoms of healing within 24-48 hours such as headaches, congestion, sneezing, runny nose, sweating, fatigue, muscle aches, digestive upset, or temperature changes. Rest and even napping is recommended, in addition to ample hydration with an electrolyte-rich beverage. Please consider your schedule and book sessions away from important appointments, meetings, and events.

Frequency:
Weekly appointments are recommended until symptoms have resolved. Most clients need between 2-4 sessions to achieve desired results for acute issues. After the initial 2-4 healing sessions, some clients book appointments every 2-3 months for maintenance.

Safety:
Biomagnetism is safe for people of all ages, except for people who have undergone IV chemotherapy in the past 12 months. If you are pregnant, or have medical devices or implants such as a pacemaker or an insulin pump, it is the client’s responsibility to know the location of those devices and inform the practitioner. In those select cases, the area of the device or the lower abdominal region near the uterus will be taped off via masking tape and no magnets will be placed on those regions. The magnets do not directly interfere with pacemakers but may drain the battery. Children are welcome to partake in biomagnetism sessions provided they are willing and able to lay still for the entire duration of a session, which could last up to 90 minutes. Biomagnetism is a complementary therapy and is not an alternative to conventional medical intervention, please continue to receive treatment from your physician.
