However, successful recovery depends on the right choice of magnet therapy method. That is why it is very important to get doctor’s in charge or physiotherapist’s consultation before therapy. The reason is that the choice of the method of manipulation depends on diagnosis and state of the disease. Magnet therapy procedures have to be conducted with gradual increase of time of exposure, starting with the minimum and adding one minute every day since the beginning of the course. A patient shouldn’t increase the time of the future procedures, if improvement is observed after the first therapy procedure. If after this improvement is ceased, a patient should increase the time of the procedure by 1 minute without exceeding the time stated in the methodology. When there is no significant improvement in health, a patient should increase the time of exposure adding one minute every day within the time interval stated in the methodology. Magnet therapy procedures are conducted once a day. However, magnet therapy can be held two times a day with the interval of 5-8 hours on the doctor’s prescription. The effect is produced by putting magnet therapy apparatus on certain places on the body. These places are called fields. It should be mentioned that positive exposure to the apparatus can be achieved even through a bandage or a plaster. Quite often pain within one disease can be felt in different places. That is why it is important to put apparatus exactly on the painful field. Undoubtedly, many people can find a painful place, but only a doctor can define what is it and what to prescribe/permit whether to influence it or not and define other painful places. The time of magnet therapy procedure for children should be reduced by 1.5-2 times. Attention! Before using AMT-01 thoroughly examine the operation instruction. Real health improvement depends on the right choice of the magnet therapy method. As the choice of the magnet therapy method depends on diagnosis and state of the disease the patient should get doctor’s consultation before treatment. Contra-indications! acute inflammatory process; purulent process; arterial hypotonia; bleeding and disposition to it. 2 EXPOSURE TO AMT-01 IN CASES OF RESPIRATORY SYSTEM DISEASES Inflammation of the lungs Method №1 In case of bronchial pneumonia the working surface of the apparatus is placed right above the field of lesion in the lungs – from the backside of the body.
