When to say no - do not start a session
Good class training teaches you to turn clients away when any item below fits. Magnets sit on clothes, but fields can still affect implants.
- Pacemaker, heart device, or other implanted electronics
- Insulin pump or drug pump with electronics
- Ear implant, brain stimulator, or nerve stimulator
- Any implant your doctor said is magnet-sensitive
- Doctor orders to avoid magnetic fields
Ask your doctor before you book
These do not always mean never. You still need a doctor yes in writing - not a guess from the provider.
- Pregnant or trying to have a baby (unless cleared in writing)
- Active cancer care (chemo, radiation, or recent surgery)
- Hard-to-control diabetes, heart failure, or blood clots
- Active infection with fever or hospital stay
- Severe mental health crisis or thoughts of self-harm
- Babies and kids (need a doctor or pediatric yes)
Red flags - call 911, not magnets
Do not use magnets when someone needs urgent care. Stop the session and get help for:
- Chest pain, pressure, or hard time breathing
- Stroke signs: face droop, weak arm, slurred speech
- Heavy bleeding, head hit, or passed out
- Sudden confusion, seizures, or cannot wake up
- Thoughts of suicide or harm to self or others
Practitioner screening checklist
the published program’s Level I and II class stresses when to say no. Use this list before each new client:
- Write down implants, meds, and recent health issues.
- Get signed consent. Say it is wellness only - not medical care.
- Check for red flags before you place magnets.
- Send the client to a doctor when screening fails.
- Never promise a cure or tell them to change meds.
- Keep notes short and fair to your role.

Frequently asked questions
Who should not use biomagnetism therapy?
Skip magnets if you have a pacemaker, heart device, insulin pump, ear implant, or brain stimulator. Skip if your doctor said to avoid magnets. For chest pain, stroke signs, or heavy bleeding, call 911 - not a magnet session.
Is biomagnetism safe during pregnancy?
Many teachers say to wait or get extra care. Ask your OB or midwife in writing before any session.
Can children receive biomagnetism?
Only with a parent yes and a trained provider. Sick kids need a doctor or ER first.
Should biomagnetism replace my doctor?
No. Keep your normal medical care. Stop the session and get urgent help for red-flag signs.
What should practitioners document before a session?
Health history, implants, meds, goals, and signed consent. Say no when screening fails.
Are store-bought magnets the same as biomagnetic pairs?
No. Class-taught pairs use set points and screening - not store bracelets sold as cure-alls.
