Assembling a magnetic therapy device with your own hands seems like an easy task. To do this, you need to know the basic principles of the functioning of magnetotherapy equipment, as well as understand electronic circuits. However, a homemade magnetic therapy device cannot become a full replacement for a factory one. On the forum of the Radiokot website about do-it-yourself magnetic therapy, you can read useful information: they publish diagrams for various electronic devices and give advice from people who have experience in creating them. Using the advice from this site, you can assemble a device that will generate an electromagnetic field. The magnetic therapy device consists of:

• a transformer that regulates the voltage of electricity from the network;
• electromagnetic radiation generator;
• emitter that allows you to direct a magnetic field to a specific area.

On forums about magnetic therapy, device diagrams differ in some technical nuances, but suggest the same result.
By carefully following the diagram and instructions from knowledgeable craftsmen, you can make a magnetic therapy device with your own hands. But, unfortunately, it is impossible to be sure that it will be beneficial. A homemade device for magnetic therapy has a number of disadvantages:

• the characteristics of electromagnetic radiation (voltage, oscillation frequency) may differ from factory equipment, and the depth and strength of action depend on these parameters;
• a homemade device may be unsafe or quickly fail;
• It is impossible to develop an optimal treatment method, while these methods have been created and tested for factory medical equipment.

Instead of assembling a magnetic therapy device with your own hands, we recommend purchasing a proven and safe device with precisely specified characteristics, known indications, contraindications and treatment methods. Only in this case is physiotherapy guaranteed to give the desired effect.

How to check the functionality of the Almag 01 device?

The delivery set includes a special device - a magnetic field indicator. It is intended to test the functionality of the Almag 01 device. It's very easy to use:

• turn on the device;
• place the indicator on the working surface of the coil;
• Wait until the indicator blinks or vibrates (depending on which model is included in your kit).

If the indicator does not react in any way when the device is turned on, then something is wrong with the device.

Which side should you apply Almag 01 to your body?

To use the medical device correctly, you need to figure out how to apply Almag 01. It is important to know the following:

• the device consists of four inductors superimposed on the problem area;
• due to design features, both surfaces (flat sides) of each inductor are working, which means that it makes no difference which side the device is applied to the body;
• inductor coils should not be twisted together by 180 °
• before the procedure you need to choose a comfortable position;
• treatment can be carried out through light clothing, as well as through a dry bandage of plaster or gauze.

Instructions for use of the device "Almag 01"

If you do not know how to use Almag 01, the instructions for using the device will definitely be useful to you. Please read it carefully before starting treatment.

Technical characteristics of the device ALMAG-01:

Schematic electrical diagram of "Almag 01"

People planning to use the Almag 01 device will find its diagram useful. It can be seen that the device consists of several main elements. This:

• electronic unit responsible for generating current pulses;
• influence unit - four inductor coils, which are connected to each other and are used to influence parts of the body affected by various diseases;
• cable;
• power cord.

The electronics housing is made of polystyrene, a lightweight, impact-resistant material.

When you connect the medical device to the network, two light indicators on the body light up:

• green indicates that the device is connected to the network;
• yellow indicates that the device is working - thanks to the connection with the timer, it goes out 20 minutes after turning on Almag 01 to the network, and the influence of the device stops, that is, the magnetic field is no longer generated.

The electrical circuit of the device is designed in such a way that for its full functioning, a break of at least 10 minutes is required between 20-minute sessions.

Equipment

Package Included:

• apparatus "Almag 01";
• magnetic field indicator;
• additional fastening elements;
• user manual.

Principle of operation

The operating principle of the Almag 01 medical device is based on the use of a traveling pulsed magnetic field (TPMF). Any magnetic fields can have a healing effect on the human body, enhancing intercellular and intracellular exchange 1.

However, the BIMP has an important feature: its pulses fall in the range from 4 to 16 Hz. According to the research of the American biologist W.R. Adey2, this is a range of biologically active frequencies characteristic of our body.

The device has a rhythmic effect on diseased organs and tissues. As a result:

• the electromagnetic characteristics of cells that have changed as a result of the disease are restored;
• the interaction between chemical elements participating in redox processes improves, and this, in turn, also leads to the restoration of impaired body functions.

The inductor coils of the device are designed in such a way that a traveling pulsed magnetic field can penetrate deep into tissue to a depth of 8 centimeters. Thanks to this, it is possible to treat diseases of organs located deep under the skin.

It is also important to note that the device improves blood flow at the site of treatment. It means that:

• blood viscosity decreases and, accordingly, the risk of blood clots decreases;
• The lumen of blood vessels increases, additional capillaries open, they become more permeable.

Blood supply in the area affected by the Almag 01 device is significantly improved. The cells are provided with the necessary oxygen, construction proteins and immunoglobulins, and inflammatory products are promptly removed from them. Metabolism is activated, this leads to the fact that regeneration processes proceed more quickly, cells are restored and renewed, and the progression of the disease slows down.

The nervous system is most susceptible to the effects of BIMPs. The use of Almag 01 helps stimulate inhibition processes, which provides a sedative (calming) effect. The device can be used to treat some cases of insomnia, as the magnetic field promotes healthy sleep.

The device normalizes the production and release into the blood of hormones in the brain structures that affect the function of endocrine organs. Thanks to this, you can use it to:

• correct some hormonal imbalances;
• create an anti-stress effect;

Also, the Almag 01 medical device effectively treats pain syndromes of various origins. This is ensured due to the fact that BIMP is able to reduce the sensitivity of peripheral nerve receptors, and this, in turn, causes gradual attenuation and complete disappearance of pain.

The device can also help people with cerebrovascular accidents. A running pulsed magnetic field reduces the tone of brain vessels and increases their lumen. This improves cerebral circulation and makes metabolism more active 3.

The medical device has a significant impact on the cardiovascular system. Thanks to it, the heart rate is normalized, blood vessels dilate, and blood flow improves. This allows, for example, to effectively combat hypertension.

The effect of BIMP stimulates metabolic processes, provides analgesic, anti-edematous, anti-inflammatory effects. Studies have shown that during a course of treatment using Almag 01, the number of leukocytes in the blood increases. This means that the device stimulates the work of the thymus gland, lymph nodes, spleen and other immunocompetent organs.

This medical device has another important feature. Regardless of what disease you are treating, during the treatment biologically active points are stimulated, which causes a reflex response in the muscles and internal organs associated with them. This also benefits the body4.

Any organism has such a characteristic as the level of adaptation. It can be defined as the ability to withstand the negative influences of the external environment, as well as the ability to self-heal. A course of treatment with Almag 01 not only provides a variety of therapeutic effects, but also leads to a smooth increase in the patient’s level of adaptation. This contributes to the treatment of not only acute but also chronic diseases.

The device "Almag 01"

The device is extremely simple. Its main elements are an electronic unit that generates current pulses, an impact unit, which includes four interconnected inductor coils, a cable and an electronic cord. All connections are flexible and permanent5.

There are two indicators on the electronic unit housing. Green indicates that the device is connected to the network, yellow indicates that the device is working. The yellow indicator is connected to a timer and stops generating a magnetic field 20 minutes after being connected to the network. If the yellow indicator goes out, you need to turn off Almag 01 and reconnect it to the power supply after at least 10 minutes.

Inductor coils are used directly to influence the human body. Each of them has two working surfaces. This means that it makes no difference which side you apply them to.

To determine whether the device is in working order, use the magnetic field indicator included in the package. Apply it alternately to the working surfaces of the coils. It will indicate that the device is working by flashing a light or vibrating (depending on the specific type of indicator included with your device).

If you connect the device to the power supply and it is working properly, then the electronic unit begins to generate current pulses, which are distributed over coils that convert them into magnetic induction pulses. As a result, a traveling pulsed magnetic field is created in the direction from the first coil to the fourth. It provides the therapeutic effect the patient needs.

Magnetic field indicator in Almag-01

What is the included magnetic field indicator used for? This is an important additional device. The indicator will show whether the Almag 01 device is working.

How to use the device? To check the functionality of the device, it is enough:

• connect “Almag 01” to the network;
• put the indicator on the work surface - you can select any of the four coils.

If everything is in order with the device, it is connected to the network and generates a magnetic field, the light on the indicator body will begin to blink. If this does not happen, check that you have inserted the plug well into the outlet. If the light does not blink, this may mean the following:

• problems with connecting to the electrical network;
• device malfunction;
• indicator malfunction.

Some devices come with an indicator that indicates the operation of the device not by flashing a light bulb, but by vibration.

If Almag 01 does not work and the warranty period has not yet expired, you need to contact the store where you purchased it. They will exchange your faulty device for a new one or help you send it to a service center so that specialists can fix the problem.

Contraindications

There are certain contraindications to the use of the Almag 01 device, so we recommend that you check the side effects and contraindications with your doctor.

Instrument statistics

Clinical studies have shown that during a course of using the Almag 01 device, the following is observed:

• in 27.6% of patients there was a marked improvement;
• 51.4% of patients had moderate improvement;
• in 21% of patients there was a slight improvement.

No deterioration of the condition was recorded.

Specialists from City Clinical Hospital No. 11 7 (Ryazan) used the device to treat patients suffering from benign hyperplasia. As a result, in more than 90% of patients, pain in the genital area decreased or disappeared, and in many patients with symptoms of sexual disorders, restoration of copulatory function was noted.

In the Central Park of the State Military Clinical Hospital named after. Academician N. N. Burdenko “Almag 01” was used to treat injuries. Studies have shown that treatment times were reduced by approximately 10% compared to a control group of patients who did not participate in sessions using the device.

When will the effect occur?

The effect of using Almag 01, as a rule, does not occur immediately. This largely depends on the disease you want to treat. The device must be used regularly. The course, depending on the disease and its nature, can range from 10 to 20 procedures; its duration must be discussed with a doctor.

Usually the effect can be felt after several treatments. But in some cases it will be necessary to undergo a full course of treatment, and sometimes a repeated course of treatment is necessary.
