“…Similar results were found in other two studies from the same authors [59, 60]. In China, a study conducted by Yi-Long et al [61] studied the effect of magnetized water on enzyme activities and showed that the activity of glutamate decarboxylase was increased by 30% in magnetized water.…”

Spiritism is the third most common religion in Brazil, and its therapies have been used by millions worldwide. These therapies are based on therapeutic resources including prayer, laying on of hands, fluidotherapy (magnetized water), charity/volunteering, spirit education/moral values, and disobsession (spirit release therapy). This paper presents a systematic review of the current literature on the relationship among health outcomes and 6 predictors: prayer, laying on of hands, magnetized/fluidic water, charity/volunteering, spirit education (virtuous life and positive affect), and spirit release therapy. All articles were analyzed according to inclusion/exclusion criteria, Newcastle-Ottawa and Jadad score. At present, there is moderate to strong evidence that volunteering and positive affect are linked to better health outcomes. Furthermore, laying on of hands, virtuous life, and praying for oneself also seem to be associated to positive findings. Nevertheless, there is a lack of studies on magnetized water and spirit release therapy. In summary, science is indirectly demonstrating that some of these therapies can be associated to better health outcomes and that other therapies have been overlooked or poorly investigated. Further studies in this field could contribute to the disciplines of Complementary and Alternative Medicine by investigating the relationship between body, mind, and soul/spirit.

“…From a biological aspect, magnetized water has numerous applications. Supplementation with magnetized water has an anti-aging effect [44] and improves blood glucose and lymphocytes [45] in mice. In addition, growth is enhanced by magnetized water in plants [46].…”

“…Some studies on the physiological activity of magnetized water have been reported during 1980s and 1990s, mainly in China. It has been reported that the intake of magnetized water treated ascariasis [28] or dissolved calculus [29], and increased glutamate decarboxylase activity [19]. Ma et al [19] presented the possibility that magnetized water can prevent aging and fatigue by increasing the cell membrane permeability.…”

“…It has been known from drinking experiences and case reports that the magnetized water is effective in several chronic diseases including diabetes (caused by oxidative stress), but scientific experimental results are seldom reported. Among the efficacies of magnetized water, it was reported that magnetized water increased glutamate decarboxylase activity [19] and reduced dental plaque [20]. Some Chinese studies have shown the magnetized water to be effective in the treatment of urolithiasis [21] and litholysis [22].…”

This study investigated the effects of magnetized water supplementation on blood glucose, DNA damage, antioxidant status, and lipid profiles in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. There were three groups of 4-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats used in the study: control group (normal control group without diabetes); diabetes group (STZ-induced diabetes control); and magnetized water group (magnetized water supplemented after the induction of diabetes using STZ). Before initiating the study, diabetes was confirmed by measuring fasting blood glucose (FBS > 200 dl), and the magnetized water group received magnetized water for 8 weeks instead of general water. After 8 weeks, rats were sacrificed to measure the fasting blood glucose, insulin concentration, glycated hemoglobin level, degree of DNA damage, antioxidant status, and lipid profiles. From the fourth week of magnetized water supplementation, blood glucose was decreased in the magnetized water group compared to the diabetes group, and such effect continued to the 8th week. The glycated hemoglobin content in the blood was increased in the diabetes group compared to the control group, but decreased significantly in the magnetized water group. However, decreased plasma insulin level due to induced diabetes was not increased by magnetized water supplementation. Increased blood and liver DNA damages in diabetes rats did significantly decrease after the administration of magnetized water. In addition, antioxidant enzyme activities and plasma lipid profiles were not different among the three groups. In conclusion, the supplementation of magnetized water not only decreased the blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels but also reduced blood and liver DNA damages in STZ-induced diabetic rats. From the above results, it is suggested that the long-term intake of the magnetized water over 8 weeks may be beneficial in both prevention and treatment of complications in diabetic patients.
