MAGNETIC STIMULATION FOR STROKE VICTIM
Magnetic stimulation helps kick damaged parts of the brain into gear. 'It woke me up,' one patient says...
But he's making great strides with the help of an experimental deep-brain stimulation technique being pioneered by behavioural neuroscientist Lara Boyd,an assistant professor at the University of BC and researcher at the Brain Research Centre.


NEW MAGNETIC STIMULATION THERAPY FOR DEPRESSION - Watch The Video
There's a new option for patients with depression who have failed to get better with standard therapy. It's a novel approach that uses magnetic simulation. "There's no sedation," explained San Antonio psychiatrist Dr. Fermin Briones. "There's no medication involved. People drive up, sit in the chair, have the procedure done, get up from the chair and drive back home."  Also at the the MAYO CLINIC


TINY STIMULATING MAGNETIC DISK USED IN SUCCESSFUL CANCER RESEARCH
One of the principal researchers, Elena Rozhlova of Argonne National Laboratory in the United States, said stimulating the discs to low-level magnetic energy for about ten minutes destroyed about 90 percent of cancer cells in tests.


NEW MAGNETIC THERAPY CLINICAL STUDY FOR TYPE TWO DIABETES
Pico-Tesla Magnetic Therapies an emerging medical technology company based in Littleton, CO, has commenced a pilot study of its Magneceutical™ Therapy as a treatment for type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the disease. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will explore whether the magnetic fields generated by Pico-Tesla's patented Resonator™ system are effective as an adjunctive therapy to oral medication in reducing hemoglobin A1c levels. Hemoglobin A1c levels are used as a measure of blood sugar control.

MAGNETIC PULSES TO RELIEVE DEPRESSION
So Dowery decided to try a new treatment approach that involves beaming magnetic pulses into the brain to relieve depression. It's called transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS. It's the first non-invasive brain-stimulation procedure available to patients who don't respond to standard treatments for depression.

Weight Gain and Sexual Dysfunction
He'd seen multiple psychiatrists and tried several antidepressants. Nothing worked. And each new pill came with "terrible" side effects, like weight gain and sexual dysfunction.

MAGNETIC THERAPY HEALING EFFECT
A study into the effect of magnetic therapy in healing shows that the healing effect of magnets is not just placebo. The study, published in the Journal of Electro and Magnetobiology revealed that magnets placed on patients skin increased the flow of blood and reduced pain levels.

MAGNETIC IMPLANT MAY HELP HEARTBURN SUFFERER'S - WKO -TV
For years, irritating heartburn was Barry Watkins' constant companion. He had a dry cough all day, every day, and didn't always sleep through the night. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, or GERD, affects millions of people. It boils down to a faulty muscular ring, called the lower esophageal sphincter, that's supposed to keep stomach acid in its place.

HOW MAGNETS MAY HELP HEAL EVERYTHING FROM DAMAGED ARTERIES TO A DISEASED HEART - Daily Mail
British scientists have devised a way to 'steer' healing stem cells through the body towards diseased arteries using magnets.

In the groundbreaking experiment stem cells were 'tagged' with microscopic magnetic particles and then injected into the bloodstream.


NEW MINI MAGNET TO DIAGNOSE TB
It is now possible to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in just 30 minutes, thanks to magnetic nanoparticles that can identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum, even at very low concentrations.

Their developer Ralph Weissleder, from Harvard Medical School, points out that the diagnosis of TB generally takes about two weeks because the bacteria is first spotted in sputum under a microscope, and then the suspect samples are sent away for confirmation.
