Biomagnetismo / Bioenergetica

Biomagnetismo
05.2009 - Current

Biomagnetismo y la Bioenergetica son dos conceptos relacionados que a menudo se usan juntos en el ámbito de las terapias alternativas. El biomagnetismo se centra en la aplicación de campos magnéticos para el diagnóstico y tratamiento, mientras que la bioenergética se enfoca en el flujo y equilibrio de la energía vital del cuerpo.El

Biomagnetismo

El biomagnetismo, a menudo referido como terapia del par biomagnético, es una técnica alternativa que utiliza imanes de moderada intensidad para supuestamente detectar y corregir desequilibrios del pH en puntos específicos del cuerpo humano.

  • Principios: La teoría principal, desarrollada por el Dr. Isaac Goiz Durán, sugiere que la mayoría de las enfermedades son causadas por una alteración del pH (potencial de hidrógeno) en áreas localizadas, lo que favorece la proliferación de microorganismos patógenos. La colocación de imanes con polaridades específicas en estas áreas busca restaurar el equilibrio ácido-alcalino natural del cuerpo.
  • Aplicaciones: Se utiliza como un método de diagnóstico y tratamiento para una variedad de condiciones, incluyendo infecciones bacterianas, dolores musculares, inflamación y trastornos del sueño.
  • Respaldo científico: Es importante notar que, aunque se usa ampliamente en medicina alternativa, el biomagnetismo no cuenta con un respaldo científico robusto en la medicina convencional, que distingue entre el uso médico de campos magnéticos pulsados (magnetoterapia) y el concepto de pares biomagnéticos.

Bioenergética

La bioenergética se refiere a la gestión de la energía vital del cuerpo con fines terapéuticos. En el contexto de las terapias alternativas, va más allá de la definición científica de la bioenergética bioquímica (el estudio de la energía en los sistemas vivos) y se centra en el equilibrio de los campos energéticos sutiles.

  • Principios: Se basa en la idea de que las experiencias emocionales y el estrés pueden causar bloqueos o desequilibrios en el flujo de energía del cuerpo, lo que con el tiempo se manifiesta como enfermedades o síntomas físicos.
  • Aplicaciones: Busca liberar esta "energía estancada" a través de diversas técnicas, que pueden incluir ejercicios corporales, técnicas de respiración, y, a menudo, se complementa con la evaluación bioenergética mediante dispositivos que interpretan frecuencias electromagnéticas corporales.

Relación entre ambos

En la práctica, muchos terapeutas combinan ambas técnicas. La bioenergética puede ser el marco general para entender el flujo de energía del cuerpo, mientras que el biomagnetismo se usa como la herramienta específica (con los imanes) para intervenir en puntos concretos y restaurar ese equilibrio energético y de pH.
