Title: Bioelectric magnetism
Post by: valentina on March 14, 2009, 05:14:10 AM
Hi, I have read on an Italian site about an Italian lawyer who, after a long time, got diagnosed with Sjogren and a researcher, called Umberto Grieco, treated her symptoms with bioelectric magnetism. In 7 months her symptoms subsided and, although she still has Sjogren, she has no symptoms!

I don't know if anyone has heard of this, but, if I get diagnosed, I will definitely try this...

Love

Valentina

Hi Valentina  :)

It's something I've never heard of but if you try it, I'd be interested to know how it goes!

Take care - Scottie  :)

Umberto Grieco probably has a Brooklyn Bridge to sell you too.   Forever a skeptic, this doesn't sound right to me.

Lucy,

Obviously you know little about Umberto Grieco, he tried selling the leaning tower of Pizza, not the Brooklyn Bridge ;D  Watsa madda you ;)

Epson, I'm just a small midwest town gal who doesn't get out much.  I'll leave the "leaning" towers to the more sophisticated folks like you.   :o

Hi Valentina, that's an interesting story, but I'd wonder if the "patient" just went into remission (remission does occur)? 

Hi Epson, the leaning tower of pizza? :D  You're silly!

Hi Lucy, thanks for your middle America skepticism, I always enjoy your point of view and quick wit!

G'day all, This is a subject I had to jump in on.  Magnetic therapy is very controversial.  It is a scientific fact that the human body does need the magnetic field of the earth.  However, you should not be drawn in by the term Bioelectric magnetism.  That term has Snake oil written all over it. 

If you do want to try Magnetic therapy be sure you do your home work.  There is a lot of good and bad info out there.  In Japan there is a company named Nikken.  They are respected world wide in the field of Magnetic therapy. 

I have used magnets with good results, when I had surgery a few years ago.  I did not have the usual swelling and I did heal quicker.  I once gave my mother in law a magnetic necklass for her arthritis in her neck.  She said that her relief was great.  She never went any wear with out wearing that necklass. 

Anyway do your home work and do not be drawn in by the use of fancy terms.
