Biomagnetic Therapy

What is Bio Magnetic Therapy?

Bio Magnetic Therapy (also known as Biomagnetic Pair Therapy or Biomagnetism) is a non-invasive complementary

wellness practice that involves applying pairs of static magnets (typically with opposite polarities—north and south) to

specific points on the body. Developed in the 1980s by Mexican physician Dr. Isaac Goiz Duran, it's rooted in the idea that

imbalances in the body's natural pH levels—caused by pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, or toxins—create

"biomagnetic pairs” of altered polarity in tissues and organs. By placing magnets strategically (often over clothing),

practitioners aim to neutralize these imbalances, restoring the body's electromagnetic equilibrium and supporting self-

healing.

This therapy is distinct from general "magnet therapy“ (e.g., wearing magnetic bracelets for pain relief), which uses single-

polarity magnets and has even less scientific backing. Bio Magnetic Therapy is holistic, often combined with muscle

testing (kinesiology) to “scan" for imbalances, and sessions typically last 60-90 minutes. It's popular in alternative health

centers like Just Hope Healing Center in Westlake Village, CA, where it's offered as a gentle, faith-inspired option for

wellness.

How Does It Work?

The core mechanism revolves around the body's subtle electromagnetic fields and the influence of static magnetic fields

on biological processes. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

1. Diagnosis via Biomagnetic Pairs: Practitioners use applied kinesiology (gentle muscle testing) to identify

“pairs"—specific body points (e.g., on the feet, spine, or abdomen) where pH distortions occur due to microbial

activity. For example, a viral imbalance might link the liver (acidic, north pole) to the spleen (alkaline, south pole).

Over 200 such pairs have been mapped based on Dr. Goiz's observations.

2. Magnet Application: Medium-strength magnets (1,000-15,000 gauss) are placed in pairs: the negative (south)

pole on the alkaline site and the positive (north) pole on the acidic site. This creates a balanced magnetic field (up

to 10,000 gauss total) that penetrates 5-8 inches into the body. Sessions are passive—you lie down clothed, and

magnets stay in place for 15-20 minutes per pair.

3. Proposed Biological Effects:

distorted pH levels back to neutral (around 7.4). This theoretically creates an inhospitable environment for

pathogens without harming healthy cells.

potentially enhancing cellular signaling, oxygen delivery, and detoxification via improved circulation.

o Energetic Rebalancing: Drawing from bioelectromagnetics, it may stimulate the body's innate repair by

influencing subtle energy fields, similar to acupuncture points.

No electricity or heat is invalved—it’s purely static fields. Hydration is encouraged post-session to aid “detox,” and multiple

sessions (e.g., 4-6 over weeks) are common for cumulative effects.
