GET THE TRUTH ABOUT GAUSS RATINGS

There is no such things as a magnetic mattress pad with ceramic magnetic material that measures 4300 gauss! Anyone using that number is just stretching the truth to sell their product. The standard in the industry is 3950 gauss. For more information, Get The Truth

Gauss is the most misunderstood and misused word in the field of magnetic therapy. Magnet strength is measured in units call Gauss. For comparison, the natural magnetic field of the Earth is about 1 Gauss! The average refrigerator magnet is 10 gauss. Ceramic Magnets used in therapeutic products vary from 100 to 2500. The strength of rare earth minerals can vary from 4000 to 12,500 gauss.

The strength of the magnet is dependent on the size, weight and shape of the magnet. Manufacturers gauss ratings which is the term Magnetic Therapy companies relate to in their advertising to consumers, does not necessaryily relate to the actual gauss readings recorded on the surface of the individual magnetic objects.

Some companies exaggerate the gauss rating to make their product look superior. The Complete Magnetic Store, uses the most accurate scientific ratings possible, generally under stating the gauss rating rather than over rating.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Will a Fridge magnet work for me? No, a typical fridge magnet is magneized bipolar, with up to 32 poles per inch. This configuration prevents the magnetic field from penetrating deep enough to be biologically effective.

What Gauss strength should I use? 700 - 1000 gauss strength is the most common strength use in therapeutic products. They are just as effective as the so call Rare Earth Magnets that are rated 4000 - 12,5000. The major differene is "depth of penetration."

The more severe the pain, injury, malady or problem, generally calls for stronger magnets. Most people prefer faster and deeper pain relief. However, remember: whether you drive a SUV or a Compact, we both arrive at the same place. The difference usually is in the initial cost.

Will magnets work for me? An estimated 140 million people world wide currently use magnetic therapy. Published studies demonstate a success rate of 75% - 95%.

If you don't feel better after applying a magnet, you either are part of the 5% that can't be helped, or you haven't given the magnet enough time to work.

How long will magnets last? In normal use and with proper care, the magnetic element in products today will last a lifetime. Magnets can be demagnetized if exposed to high temperatures exceeding 250 degrees F. or 140 degrees C.
