Frequently Asked Questions
and Other General Information

Magnets have been used for health purposes for centuries.  In fact, it is a legalized and proven form of therapy in European/Asian/Oriental countries.  We use only the best form of magnets that are commonly used for therapy.  We use Grade A and Grade AA magnets which never lose their charge and have gauss ratings of 1200 to 1800 gauss in each bead.  We also use Grade B for a very few designs (800-1000 gauss in each bead).  Our neodymium beads have 5000 gauss in each bead.  Don’t be fooled by our competitors who say they have "Triple Strength" beads, and claim that their gauss is above 2000 gauss.  Permanent Ferrite and Magnetized Hematite cannot be magnetized above 2000 gauss.  Tried magnets before but they didn’t work?  Remember, get the right KIND of magnet, the right STRENGTH of magnet, and wear it in the right PLACE! 

Not much research has been done in the U.S. to find out exactly how the magnets work.  We cannot tell you with absolute certainty how they work, however, we can tell you how we believe it works, share real-life testimonials from real people who had real results, and give you answers to some commonly asked questions. 

  Currently, people all over the world are being treated with magnets for migraines, arthritis, carpel tunnel, tendonitis, TMJ, swelling, fibromyalgia,  and much more.  Some cancer patients are being treated with magnets, as well as animals such as horses. There really is no limit to what kind of pain it can possibly relieve, or for whom it can provide pain relief for.  The only warnings or restrictions we give with our product is for people wearing diabetic devices, pacemakers, or women who are pregnant.  Those people should ALWAYS check with their doctor before they try magnets. Remember this is self-help only and is not a medical device.  We are not doctors and cannot prescribe anything for you, however, we can let you know what our customers tell us works, and provide you with the best quality of magnets!

Permanent Ferrite "Magnetized Hematite":

Based on our customers' experiences, we have found that our necklaces help with pain from the upper back, shoulders, neck, and head areas.  For example, wear a necklace for migraines, TMJ, arthritis in the neck or shoulders, etc.  (Generally the Neodymium Power Magnets do not work for migraines/headaches)

Our bracelets work best from the fingertips to the shoulder of the arm it is worn on.  Bracelets are worn for carpel tunnel, arthritis in the hands, tendonitis in the elbow, and even some rotator cuff problems. (Neodymium Power Magnets can work most of the upper half of the body when worn as a bracelet)

The anklets are great for pain from the toes up to the hip of the leg it is worn on.  Our customers have had great success with lower back pains when wearing anklets on both ankles. Anklets are worn under socks but can be worn over pantyhose. (Neodymium Power Magnets can work most of the lower half of the body when worn as an anklet)

For people with severe lower back pain, the Waist Chains are a good choice.  They are worn under the clothes around the waist and no one ever sees it.  (They are strung on stretch to give more flexibility without breaking)

The Wraps or "Lariats" are wonderful for people who do not want to commit to one area of their body.  They can be worn as a bracelet, anklet, or necklace.  We have had several people get great lower back pain relief with even just one wrap on one ankle. People with Fibromyalgia love them because they can move the product around as the pain "travels".

If you are unsure about what product to purchase, please don't hesitate to contact us!

Neodymium High Power Magnets:

The Neodymium is great for people who have pain in multiple locations throughout their body.  The Neodymium has been known to help with pain within minutes and hours rather than days or weeks.  Based on customer's response we suggest wearing the product closest to the worst pain first.  The magnets will start working with the circulation in that area first, then it will eventually start moving throughout the body helping other pains as well.  After you notice relief in the first area, you can move the product to the next area.  This is not always needed, however, as we have had great results from customers just simply wearing as a bracelet or anklet. Generally the Power Magnets help most of the upper half of the body when worn as a bracelet, and most of the lower half of the body (including lower back) when worn as an anklet.  We also have spot magnets for those people who do not wish to wear jewelry.  You sandwich your clothing between two spot magnets to hold it in place, or you can simply tape them to your body on the source of the pain.  It is a cheap and easy solution!  If you have any questions about where to start wearing the Neodymium just ask!
 

How long you wear the magnets is up to you, however, we strongly advise that the magnets are worn all the time.  Never take the magnets off.  Many people do, however, "test" the magnets by taking the product off for a while to see if their pain returns.  This is totally up to the customer.  It's a great way to test the relief. 

Don't forget - Our Permanent Ferrite beaded magnets can be worn in the bathtub, shower, hot tub, sauna, ocean, while playing sports, sleeping, absolutely anything.  However, we suggest taking the Neodymium off while in water.  Water can cause the Neodymium to rust. 

Permanent Ferrite Beads (Not high powered Neodymium):

Yes and no.  All of our beads have from 1200 to 1800 gauss.  Just because the bead is larger doesn't mean it has more gauss.  The strength will vary with product length/size, and bead size.  Each of the 4mm and 6mm round beads are 1200-1300 gauss.  The long faceted beads in the wraps are about 1800 gauss.  The other beads are mostly about 1200-1300 gauss.  Obviously, the more beads, the more total strength.  For example a 16" necklace will have twice the strength of an 8" bracelet. There is another way of looking at this situation though.  If you have two beads that are both 1800 gauss, however, one bead is 8mm and the other is 4mm then you will tell a big difference in the flux induction.  The strength of the magnet will obviously radiate further and feel like it is stronger.  Our customers have told us that the size of the bead really hasn't mattered when it comes to working for their pains.  What matters most is wearing it in the right place.  If you need any help determining the strength you need or the strength of one of our products please don't hesitate to contact us.

Neodymium High Powered Magnets:

ALL Neodymium beads have the same strength of 5000 gauss.  The small beads have the same gauss as the larger beads.  Again, the larger the flux induction, the stronger it will feel.

Permanent Ferrite Beads "Magnetic Hematite" (not Neodymium High Power):

If our product breaks for any reason just collect as many of the magnets that you can, send them to us and we will repair it FREE of charge.  No restrictions.  We build this jewelry by hand ourselves and we will repair it for free for any reason.  Also, many customers have a significant reduction in swelling when wearing our products, therefore we will also do free re-sizings!  If your swelling has decreased and you need a smaller size please contact us before taking the product off to mail back.  We will want you to keep wearing the product until you receive the new size, then send back the larger size.  This is due to the fact that the swelling usually returns if the product is not worn for a period of time.

Neodymium High Powered Magnets:

Please see our Neodymium Care Page.

The magnets we use in our products are permanent ferrite magnets and Neodymium Rare Earth magnets.  In other words, they are permanently charged and will not lose their strength. 

Everyone has their own comfort zone, therefore the size is dependant totally upon the customer's preference.  The magnets can work up to 1/2" away from the body, so if you like a bracelet loose, then it is fine.  They do not have to be worn tight for them to work.  Wear what is comfortable.  If it isn't comfortable, then you'll take it off and be disappointed.  If you order the wrong size just let us know and we will trade it out for the correct size at no charge!

Necklaces: It is hard to suggest the correct size of a necklace because it depends on how thick the person's neck is.  We suggest measuring a necklace that is the same size that you want the magnetic necklace to be.  You can also take the tape measure and see what a 16", 18", 20" etc. would feel like on your neck and how far down it would hang.  18" is the most common necklace size for a woman.  If you want the necklace to be hidden under the clothes so you can wear other necklaces on top, then we suggest a longer size.  It all comes down to personal preference.

Bracelets and Anklets:  Below are some photos that will help when measuring.

When measuring for correct size of bracelet or anklet use fabric tape measure and place index finger between skin and tape measure.  Pull tape measure snug but comfortable. (see photos)
 

For neodymium, bracelets start at 8" and anklets start at 12".  Since you can size it yourself, we make them one size.  Get longer lengths and break it up to make a bracelet and anklet at one time or wear as a necklace one day then a bracelet/anklet the next.  Save money on longer lengths!


 

When we receive an order, we process it and send it out within 3 to 5 business days.  Many of our customers receive they products within a week.  If we are not away at a show we can usually process your order the same day.  If it is after Post Office hours then we will send it out the next day.  We mail orders out via regular USPS.  If you have a preference on how you would like the product mailed (priority, overnight, etc), then please don't hesitate to contact us.  If you have not received your product after four weeks please let us know. Remember, please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery as we cannot control how the mail runs.

A great source for information on magnets used for health reasons is a book by Gary Null, PH.D. called "Healing With Magnets".  You can find quite a lot of information online but just remember to consider the source.  It is best to find an author who doesn't have their own agenda (like selling their own "special" magnets).

First things first: Magnets do not help every type of pain for every person.  Everyone is different, every pain is different. Please don't give up on the magnets just because you tried an inferior weak one from Walmart and it didn't work!   Unfortunately there are many misconceptions about magnetic therapy and there are some scam artists that are taking advantage of this.  They are the ones that tell you that magnets will work for any kind of pain for anyone and they will guarantee it.  First of all, this goes against FDA regulations. Second, it doesn't work for every pain for every person.  Also, these people rarely give you a brochure, business card, or any other contact information, and they use beads that will lose their strength.  Some will use a few magnetic beads but 90% of the product is cheap non-magnetic filler beads.  Some other misconceptions people may use to help them sell to you is that one bracelet will help your whole body, it will heal your ailments, and they have triple strength beads.  Just walk away.  There are also very wonderful people who are selling magnets that just don't know any better.  They haven't educated themselves or been in business long enough to get true customer feedback.  Don't hold it against them, they'll come around.  In the mean time just keep in mind get the right KIND of magnet, the right STRENGTH of magnet, and wear it in the right PLACE! We are more than happy to help you decide what product and strength is right for you.  Don't give up on magnets just yet!
