Millions are suffering like you across the world! In fact according to the UK ‘Back Care’ Charity, there are

Examples of combination products may in

AT LEAST 1.1 million people suffering from back pain each year. Back Pain is cited as being the main cause of disability in U.K. Every year over 150 million working days are lost due to back pain.

The picture across the waters in the US tells a very similar story. According to American Chiropractic Association, at any given time, there are approximately 31 million people experiencing some form of back pai

Time for a Change…Don’t You Think?

Clearly those figures are not going to fill you with sunny optimism, but here’s something that will. I’m talking about a therapy that uses the awe

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

ome forces of nature to help you get your life back.

It’s been in use since about 2000 B.C. The ancient Chinese, Egyptians, Greeks and Indians, swore by it. Archimedes praised its amazing therapeutic powers.

Today, it has many well-known devotees such as Cherie Blair, Bill Clinton, Andre Agassi, and Sir Anthony Hopkins. And, it was approved in February 2006, for use by the National Health Service.

Let me introduce the phenomenal power of M

d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

Combination pro

agnetic Therapy as your heavyweight contender in the fight against your back pain. If you are not familiar with the term, you may have heard it referred to as Bio Magnetic Therapy, or Magneto Therapy. Magnetic Energy itself, is all natural; in fact the earth itself is a huge magnet. Scientists have discovered that all living things are affected by Magnetic Energy.

You may be familiar with the story about the NASA astronauts who became ill

ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc

and weakened on their return home from orbit. Their scientists later discovered that their symptoms were due to Magnetic deficiency. The problem was resolved by stitching magnets into the astronauts spacesuits.

Advancements in technology have enabled scientists to replicate the Earth's Magnetic Energy in the form of therapeutic magnets as we see them in use today.

Magnetic Therapy does not hold the power to cure, but what it does do effectiv

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

ly is to stimulate and kick start your bodies own healing processes.

The therapy itself is a non-invasive and safe method of applying static or pulsed magnets, either directly above the point of injury or near a major artery. These high strength magnets generate a Magnetic Field that is powerful enough to penetrate right through the skin and bones, down to the cells.

How Magnetic Therapy Can Affect Your Back’s Pain & Inflammation

When the Magnetic Field penetrates down to the cellular level, the iron content present within your blood cells becomes responsive to it. This reaction results in improved blood circulation. One of the functions of blood is to take oxygen and nutrients from the heart out to the cells, tissues and vital organs in the body. Therefore, improved blood circulation means that more oxygen and nutrients can be transported out to the damaged cell
and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ
s and tissues a lot more efficiently.

This booster supply of oxygen and nutrients enables the bodies own healing processes to work at an accelerated rate. In the midst of all this activity, the brain sends out signals to release the body’s natural painkillers, i.e. Endorphins Magnetic Therapy is not only effective at reducing pain, but also tackling Inflammation.

Inflammation is the body’s primary healing response to damaged tissues or attacks
ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi
from viruses or bacteria. When the body comes under attack, the brain initiates the defence sequence of sending out the White Blood Cells (think of them as the bodies ‘heavy mob’ who are always on the look out for trouble, aka the viruses, foreign bodies etc) to the site of injury or location of foreign bodies. The white blood cell’s job is to devour the foreign bodies and then release chemicals into the surrounding tissues. It is these che
ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

Following aspects would a
micals that trigger inflammation.

Inflammation causes blood vessels to increase in width to make allowance for the increased amount of blood going to the site of injury. The blood transports the white blood cells, platelets, nutrients and oxygen to the area at an accelerated pace. Fluid flows from the blood vessels and leaks into the damaged tissues causing swelling. The swollen area becomes puffy and warm to touch.

White blood cells will m

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod
aintain their position at the point of injury, and the brain will continue to send reinforcements until the battle is won. However, if there is a continued highly concentrated presence of white blood cells in the blood, this could indicate that something very serious is going on in the body.

The Magnetic Field benefits inflammation by drawing out excess fluid and toxins from the surrounding tissues and then expelling them, on route, via the Li

The improved blood circulation and tackling of inflammation, leaves the way open for the body to be able to HEAL ITSELF efficiently. The end result for you, the sufferer, is that the scales become tipped in your favour, i.e., you control the Back Pain instead of the Back Pain controlling you.

The Critics

Now, of course I am not going to suggest that all is rosy in the garden where Magnetic Therapy is concerned. As with any Alternative Medicine, it is not without it critics. in fa
ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust
ct, in January 2006, a paper in the British Medical Journal by Professor Leonard Finegold, from Drexel University in Philadelphia and Professor Bruce Flamm, from Kaiser Permanente Medical Centre in Riverside, California, cast doubt on the perceived benefits of Magnetic Therapy. Yet it was interesting to note that just a month later on the 26 February 2006, we see that the UK National Health Service gave it's approval for doctors to prescribe Mag
y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products
etic Therapy to patients. In fact the actual quote was -

"The NHS Prescription Pricing Authority has ruled that 4UlcerCare is not just good for patients but also a good use of NHS cash. It believes the magnets will save money on bandages and nurses’ time by healing the wounds."

When all is said done, there will always be arguments for and against, but in the end, you have to make up your own mind as a consumer. Is Mag

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de
