I am looking for information on the benifits that magnetic insoles have on your health?
Magnets do absolutely nothing for you. They don't treat any conditions, they don't cure any conditions. It would be like putting a refrigerator magnet in your shoe. Totally worthless.
Reply:I found a very interesting study here. It demolishes any potential benefits magnets could have on your health. Hope you find it interesting:

"Researchers at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine have reported negative results in a study of patients with heel pain. Over a 4-week period, 19 patients wore a molded insole containing a magnetic foil, while 15 patients wore the same type of insole with no magnetic foil. In both groups, 60% reported improvement, which suggests that the magnetic foil conveyed no benefit.


More recently, researchers at the VA Medical Center in Prescott, Arizona conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study involving 20 patients with chronic back pain. Each patient was exposed to real and sham bipolar permanent magnets during alternate weeks, for 6 hours per day, 3 days per week for a week, with a 1-week period between the treatment weeks. No difference in pain or mobility was found between the treatment and sham-treatment periods.





Magnets have also been claimed to increase circulation. This claim is false. If it were true, placing a magnet on the skin would make the area under the magnet become red, which it does not."
Reply:The increased weight of the magnets will somewhat increase your exercise load for the day. Other than that, absolutely NOTHING - this is quackery.
Reply:This is an interesting topic because as is so often the case when it comes to the subject of an "alternative" modality,.. there are pro and con sides to the topic of efficacy.





Personally I can only share with you what I know from direct experience. ... I can tell you that magnetic field therapy is very valid and real. The body in fact has it's own magnetic field,.. just as does the earth we live on and the very atoms that make up the molecules and cells of your body.





If you do the research on medical data bases which are not readily accessible to the general public,... you can obtain literally hundreds of articles addressing the reams of scientific research that has been done related to magnetic fields in biology and the potential applications to the human body.





Did you know that modern medicine presently uses electro-magnetic field therapy to promote osteoclast (bone cell), production in cases where healing bone fractures are not progressing well on their own?





............. Magnetic fields do promote circulation. I can tell you this from personal experience. .......... I used to make a living in an occupation that daily caused me to suffer from tendonitis in one of my hands and forearm. ... I was afraid I would not be able to continue working in that occupation at the time, until I begin sleeping on a magnetic pad at night on my bed. ... The pad would noticeably increase the circulation to my arms (as I slept on my back), and heal up my tendonitis over night so that I was able to return to work the next day and complete another days income.





As far as the magnetic insoles are concerned,... my experience is that they only offer a very mild promotion of circulation in the soles of the feet. Depending upon the individual case, this may help in cases where someone experiences tired achey feet from their occupation or poor circulation. I doubt they would do much more than that, but some may find that differently. ....





Note: .... The magnets most commonly used in therapeutic devices such as insoles etc. ... are of such a mild strength that they are basically meant to duplicate what you would be getting from the earth itself if you were living say out in the wilderness and away from the concrete and steel and electrical fields etc of civilisation. Urban environments greatly cut us off from the naturally occuring earths magnetic field.





............ The earths magnetic field is a health promoting and balancing effect on the human body,... but of course we in modern civilisation have significantly cut ourselves off from that natural magnetic field and replaced it with environmental and technological pollution that in fact promotes stress and illness.
