Is the claim that magnets improve healing and circulation in the human body true or false?

Firstly, the iron in our blood is not a metal, Am I right?Is the claim that magnets improve healing and circulation in the human body true or false?
The iron in our blood is iron the same as in dirt and rock . the scientific bases that magnets are good for you is on the fact that they line up your bloodcells(not sure if its blood cells, electrlytes , free radicals etc... and stuff like a magnet it lines them up north to south and therefor thats supposed to be a good thing but if it is they dont actually know all they know is that people say it works and helps them.Is the claim that magnets improve healing and circulation in the human body true or false?
False. As you suspected, the iron in our blood is not magnetic. The interactions that a magnetic field can mediate are very simple and well understood. Healing is not one of them.
That's debatable. Scientific researches have proved the claims of Magnetic Healing as a farce, except some of the magnetic techniques used for Brain-problems..but even these are done in highly sophisticated hospitals and not in the common magnetic belts available in the market. However, there is huge support for the therapy also and believers can deny the scientific claims easily. Current scientific instruments are really not advanced enough to measure body's magnetism. Just ask someone to hold his index finger a cm. from your forehead and you will feel some stress.





Regarding iron in our blood...a 70Kg adult has approx 3 gm of iron in the body...2 gm of which is in haemoglobin and just 1 gm in other forms. Hardly any in metal form unless you are one of those record holders who eat iron-nails, etc daily.
Personally, I don`t think so.


How can they?
Salamanders with amputated limbs have been shown to regrow them more quickly if subjected to magnetic fields so they must have some effect on growth and repair processes.





I wear a wrist magnet which allegedly helps arthritis and it seems to work for me!





Didn't think I was that gullible
