In all your experimenting with alternative therapies, have you had the
opportunity to use those "magnetic blankets?"
>> Is the size of the blanket, placement
of the magnets relevant. (Or have you found them to do anything at all??)

kat all
use of magnetic blankets and wraps.. as far as i know aerc does not prevent
this..i know a number of riders who use then at vet checks..
i thought at one time they were not allowed.. but no-one has said anything to
the rider(s) who i have seen using them.
we all know there are 2 types .. static and active..electromagnetics..
do they work ?? well.. no cites /papered research .. just my normal
observations and other comments from riders.
these products do work.. i used tape magnets and hard disk magnets on my
horses pastern.. damaged and determined not to be useable or fully sound
again..that was 2 years ago..
i taped them on for 24 hours and off for 24. did this for about 2 months..
we also used legiond iv, adaquen, and other alternate methods.
the spur was about the size of my full thumb, ringbone was starting...now
the spur is about the size of the end of my little finger.
what do the magnets do? ..increase the blood flow. this happens because the
magnets will charge the cells like polarize them ..they line up and incease
cellular motion of flow, sort of like that anyway.. this allows the for
increased blood flow, reduce inflamation.. you can actually feel heat
increase in the area of the magnet.
in this case aided the abosorbtion of the ca deposit. the ring bone cannot be
felt.. i have not done another x-ray.. do plan on that. he is soumd and going
back to work this week..
we shall see.
magnetic blankets will increase cellular activity, increase blood flow in the
area of placement and increase energy flow in the area of the body
meridians..
the static blankets will work but take long. they cost less and you can make
your own..
the electro-mag blankets are very costly.. but work faster. they use a pulsed
field in a pattern to produce the desired effect. i cant afford one yet..or
justify it
but those that use them really see a difference.
you can get static wraps from norfields.. costly.. and not too strong.. but
they work as far as i am concerned.. i use them on me too ..of course..
i am going to make one from an old horse sheet.
get a box of 2 and 3 inch round ferrite magnets from radio shack or edmound
scientific comp.. they also have sheets of high power tape magnets..you can
cut them up in strips..
sew the magnets onto the horse sheet.. put them over the back ,loins across
the shoulders, over areas that are sore..and along the medrian lines...
not all that critical.. you can look at one of the commerical ones to get an
idea when to place the magnets..
i hope to get mine done soon.. be interesting to see how it works.
