Biomagnetic Pair Therapy or Biomagnetism, is a vibrational energetic therapy that focuses on recognizing any altered energy points in the human body.
Dr. Isaac Goiz Durán, discovered the first Biomagnetic Pair in 1988.
Prior to that initial discovery, Dr. Goiz attended a course on bioenergy at the medical school of the University of Guadalajara in Mexico, taught by Dr. Richard Broeringmeyer. In that course, Dr. Broeringmeyer shared that the body's organs and tissues can become magnetically polarized. Intrigued, Dr Goiz began experimenting with magnets in pairs and monitored the body's responses to these applications.
Since that first experiment and with over 33 years of practicing Biomagnetism, Dr. Goiz has identified over 350 biomagnetic pairs which cover most of the glandular dysfunctions, diseases, syndromes and illnesses causing dysfunction in the body. It is said that Dr. Goiz successfully treated more than 500,000 patients with Biomagnetism and had trained more than 20,000 doctors and therapists from many different countries before his passing in 2021.

The Lyme Magnetic Protocol Therapy is a modality that targets the symptoms of Lyme disease and its co-infections using biomagnetism.
Joan Randall, of Woodstock Vermont, initially began working with the Biomagnetic Pair Therapy, created by Dr. Goiz, yet she soon realized she needed a more detailed approach to heal herself from the symptoms of Lyme Disease. In turn, she discovered hundreds of additional points on the body that require magnetic placement to eliminate the pathogens that contribute to the complex and difficult issuess of Lyme Disease.
From that initial training with Dr. Goiz, Joan has created, tested, and documented the Lyme Magnetic Protocol Therapy which is an aggressive, comprehensive and unique approach to biomagnetism.

Biomagnetism works by using two magnets, or a biomagnetic pair, to balance the natural pH of the body.
In theory, a Biomagnetic Pair is created when there are 2 specific areas in the body that are energetically connected and resonate with each other. By applying medium intensity magnets to these specific areas, the underlying pH is neutralized.
For example, Borrelia Burgdorferi, the bacteria involved with Lyme Disease, has 2 specific areas in the body where it is frequently harbored - the Costal Hepatic and the Liver. To address this bacteria, the negative pole of a magnet would be placed at the costal hepatic, and the positive pole of a magnet is then placed at the liver. It is believed that in this neutral pH environment, pathogens can not survive and the body is able to eliminate them. When the body is balanced, it can function properly and keep pathogens, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites under control.
Biomagnetism utilizes kinesiology, or muscle testing, to identify specific points on the body where magnets will be placed.
During your visit, there may be several pairs of magnets placed on the body in these specific areas.

Kinesiology, or muscle testing, is a non-invasive approach commonly utilized by chiropractors, nutritionists, naturopathic doctors, massage and physical therapists, just to name a few. Some practitioners will muscle test using a clients arm, yet with biomagnetism, practitioners use the legs and feet to muscle test.
With the client resting comfortably, fully clothed on a massage table, the practitioner will ask questions that have a yes or no response. If the answer is yes, the right leg will shorten slightly, which can be easily seen by comparing the edge of the two heels.
This unique approach provides the practitioner with unbiased data and gives the intelligence of the body a way to express itself.
-
Clients report that they have found this therapy effective in alleviating issues such as: fatigue, brain fog, headaches, migraines, depression, anxiety, back pain, joint pain, muscle weakness, heart palpitations, air hunger, insomnia, eczema, bell’s palsy, vertigo, gastointestinal issues, autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.
-
Many people may be discouraged by how much they have done to get well and how their issues seem to be resistant to successful results the traditional way.
Biomagnetism involves a combination of trusting the body’s innate ability to balance, dedication to the process, and patience. Eating well, staying hydrated and resting are all important factors to the healing process. The body is brilliant and will always want to return to balance.
This unique therapy finds and unravels pathogens, layer by layer, diminishing the pathogen load while boosting the body’s immune system and ability to detox, therefore, supporting homeostasis.
-
This will vary from client to client and every case will be treated on an individual basis. As an example, a recent infection may need as little as 3 to 5 appointments. In an advanced stage of Lyme disease and co-infections or in a case of a chronic “dis-ease”, multiple appointments, such as 20-30, may be needed to fully eliminate issues.
Patience and dedication to this process are important for this therapy to be considered successful and effective.
Initially, visits may be every 1-2 weeks, then progress to 2-3 weeks and then eventually, 3-5 weeks apart.
-
Immediately after a visit, some clients say they feel very relaxed, some say they feel as if there was a positive shift in energy.
Some may also experience a ”Healing Crisis”, also known as a “Herxheimer Reaction” or “Herx”. A healing crisis or herx, can generally last a few hours to a few days, depending on the individual and their situation.
A healing crisis is the body’s response to toxins and pathogens as they are being released. When they are released, the immune system flushes them into the bloodstream to be filtered and eliminated. This sudden circulation of toxins can temporarily impact your well-being and symptoms may occur. The indications that you are experiencing a healing crisis can include fatigue, headache, nausea, low grade fever, muscle aches, GI symptoms, etc. Adequate rest and staying well hydrated after a visit are essential.
It is important to realize that a healing crisis is part of the healing process and should be looked at as a positive effect.
-
Biomagnetism is a non-invasive gentle therapy and is completely compatible with other traditional and alternative practices.
Among certain therapies, such as deep tissue massage, acupuncture, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, ozone therapy, it is best to schedule at least 5- 7 days in between those therapies and your visits to ensure we do not overwhelm the body.
Some clients feel that they want to tackle their illness with many of different approaches but that can quickly overwhelm the body. Sometimes a “less is more” approach is gentler and fosters harmonious healing. Muscle testing can be done to see what is most beneficial to you and most supportive to the immune system.
-
No, Biomagnetism, or Biomagnetic Pair Therapy is not similar to other magnet therapies.
Other magnet therapies may include magnet pads, magnetic accupuncture, magnetic jewlery, clothing, etc…While some scientific principles may apply in each, they are very different.
Biomagnetic Pair Therapy makes use of pairs of magnets, positive and negative together, placed in very specific anatomical placings to achieve an outcome- the others do not.
-
Most individuals may benefit from Biomagnetic Pair Therapy.
However, it is important to communicate if you have a pacemaker, cochlear implant, insulin pump or other electromagnetic devices to see if Biomagnetism will be appropriate for you. -
