BioMagnetic Pair Therapy (BMPT)
In Ireland most people first learn of BioMagnetic Pair Therapy (BMPT) through researching treatment for Lyme Disease or by word of mouth from people who were treated for Lyme using BMPT. This was also my experience, however BMPT has many more uses.

What is BMPT? Biomagnetic Pair Therapy (BMPT) is a gentle non-invasive technique that restores equilibrium within your body. This balance enables your body to respond to whatever problem that might be present, e.g. a pathogen (bacteria, virus, fungus or parasite that can cause disease) or an organ or system that is not working efficiently and has some type of dysfunction. BMPT treats this imbalance by adjusting certain areas of your body. Primarily what BMPT aims to do is to create a stable equilibrium within the PH levels of your body. For a healthy human being the PH levels will be from 6.9 to 7.3. Anything below 6.9 is considered acidic and anything above 7.3 is considered alkaline. Your PH level can shift marginally and this is OK but if it goes beyond these levels your body will start experiencing problems. This is not representative of your blood PH level but the PH level in different areas of your body. Your stomach for example is very acidic and is a different PH level to that of your heart and so it should be. What I am looking for is areas of PH imbalance within your body.
How does BMPT work? Biomagnetism is the interaction of living organisms with magnetic fields. Whenever the north pole of a magnet is introduced to any area of your body with a PH imbalance the right side of your body contracts and shortens by approx. 2-5 cm. This reaction is painless and most people don't even notice but it results in your right leg shortening by approx 2 cm. Again, this is not harmful or painful in any way. You may or may not feel your leg moving when this occurs. This interaction with the magnetic field only happens when the magnetic field has been introduced to a part of your body with a PH distortion. This PH distortion is usually because of an infection of some sort whether that’s viral, bacterial, fungal or parasitic. These infections have the ability of distorting PH levels leading to a non-effective immune system in that area. This leads to a localised area which is the correct environment for a particular pathogen or group of pathogens but is not ideal for you. So I will introduce magnetic fields to parts of your body, checking to see if there is any shortening in your legs. All of these north pole points have south pole points that they resonate with, so if the south pole of the magnet is placed on a particular resonating point it will have the effect of balancing the legs, confirming that equilibrium in that region has been achieved again. If the south pole of the magnet is removed immediately then the leg will shorten as the magnets need to be left in place for a particular period of time to address the imbalance. This is because your body has to create the equilibrium. The magnetic fields do not kill any viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites but what they will do is shift sub-atomic particles (such as Hydrogen ions, electrons, protons) on a microscopic level, sometimes just changing the direction in which they are in but that change is enough for your body to create PH equilibrium in that area. This takes approx. 30 minutes to achieve at our latitude. So the magnets will be left in place for at least 30 minutes. The scan takes approximately 30 minutes to do so you will be on the table for approximately 1 hour for a scan. A scan is the term for when the hundreds of points all over your body are checked for a PH imbalance. When the last pair of magnets goes on I will leave all the magnets on for a further 30 minutes. There is no pain or discomfort, some people feel a slight tingling under the surface or their skin when the magnets are in place, this is your body adjusting to the new PH and your immune system starting to interact with pathogens. There will be a detoxing process then starting to take place when your body starts to flush out toxins left over from the now dead pathogens. You may experience what is known as a healing crisis or Herxheimer reaction, where a massive amount of different microscopic organisms die off and the endotoxins that these carry get flooded into your system and it can be a little bit like a detoxing scenario that your body goes through. There is the fight initially where your body is eliminating the infection and then there is the detox process after that which can take 48-72 hours. It usually passes after this time. For most people this is quite light, you may have bit of head ache of feel like you have slight cold symptoms or feel a bit tired.
What can BMPT treat? The Biomagnetic Pair technique helps prevent, compliment and facilitate rehabilitation from various infectious, chronic-degenerative, metabolic, dysfunctional, autoimmune, psychoemotional, genetic conditions/diseases as well as poisonings. This is achieved through the process of stabilising the body's bioelectric system and PH. This means that BMPT is used in the treatment of the following: Elimination of pathogenic infections Joint Pain Vasodilation - to decrease blood pressure Edema reduction Anxiety Lyme Disease Long Covid Headaches Leg Pain Stress Fatigue Anxiety Chronic Pain Fibromyalgia Depression Autoimmune Disorders
More BMPT FAQs How long is a treatment? Each treatment usually lasts approximately 1 hour to 1 hour and fifteen minutes. The initial visit lasts about 90 minutes as we need to talk more about your history and condition. Where will I be during the treatment? You will be lying on a massage table with your legs and back supported by a wedge shaped cushion. Where mobility is an issue you can remain seated for the treatment although this takes longer. What should I wear? I will be applying magnets to the outside of your clothes using masking tape, so it is best to wear long legged and long sleeved clothes. It is also good to wear clothing that is not baggy or loose fitting as the magnets need to be in contact with your body. The masking tape does not work well on certain materials such as lycra or polyester so please avoid wearing these materials where possible. You will be wearing a pair of modified shoes so please do wear socks or bring a pair with you to wear for the treatment. For any points on exposed skin (hands, head, neck) I will be using a special cohesive tape that I will then attach the magnets to. Will it hurt? The treatment will not hurt as it is very gentle. Some people experience tingling when the magnets are placed on certain points, others experience either heat or cold. This is due to the correct PH being restored to the correct level in that part of the body and so the immune system starts to function again properly in that area. How many sessions will I need to have? BMPT is a technique that facilitates healing, in that BMPT restores the equilibrium that your body requires in order to heal itself. It is your body that is doing the hard work of healing, so the pace at which you heal is the pace at which your body is able to heal. You should see a difference in your condition after three sessions, everything else varies from person to person. Once I am finished treatment should I return? Once you have finished your treatment is it always advisable to return once every 3-4 months for a check up. This is good practice to maintain a good level of health. How much does each treatment cost? Each treatment costs €80.
How did I discover BMPT? In 2016 my youngest brother Padraig (he’s the baby of the family) went to Nepal to volunteer with an NGO for 5 months. Padraig worked in a remote part of Nepal rebuilding a school that had been destroyed in the devestating 2015 earthquake. The locals, especially the children were enthralled by this pale Irish person and nicknamed Padraig "ghost". When Padraig’s Nepalese visa expired he travelled around South East Asia on a motor bike for several months. Padraig came home in December 2016 and was planning to work until he started a degree course in International Development and Food Policy the following Autumn in University College Cork. Padraig was very skinny when he got home, having had many bouts of food poisoning over the previous year and his condition continued to worsen as 2017 progressed. There were numerous trips to specialists and consultants throughout 2017 but he continued to get sicker, having to defer his college course for a year. Severe fatigue, joint pain, intestinal pain and brain fog were some of the more prominent symptoms but consultants were unable to find the cause. Some consultants wrote Padraig off as depressed and prescription after prescription for very strong antibiotics just saw Padraig get worse and worse. Padraig tested positive for Lyme disease and my mother heard of a new treatment for Lyme that was proving very successful. My parents and siblings were very determined to find a cure and Padraig went for Biomagnetic Pair Therapy treatment in June 2018. Elaine Griffin (bmptwest@gmail.com) the BMPT therapist who treated Padraig found many pathogens in Padraig including Borelia (the bacteria that causes Lyme disease) plus the many coinfections that Lyme sufferers have due to a surpressed immune system. Padraig was sick between each session as the large die-off of numerous pathogens released toxins into his system. However, after a few sessions there were signs of improvement, the first for over a year, so much so that Padraig started in UCC in the Autumn of 2018. As it happened Moises Goiz, the son of the BMPT creator Duran Goiz was conducting a training seminar in Dublin for a week in August 2018. This was the first time that BMPT was being taught outside of the Americas. Around 50 people travelled from Australia, Singapore, Europe and Ireland to be part of this pioneering event. My mother, my aunt and I were three of these keen students to attend the first BMPT seminar. The person who was responsible for organisng this event was Rob Renehan, the first BMPT practioner in Ireland. Rob’s brother David had Lyme disease and Rob traveled far and wide to get a cure for this crippling condition. This lead Rob to discover BMPT and it's founder Duran Goiz. Rob went to Mexico (the home of BMPT) and the US to get training so that he could help his brother David. Rob helped David recover and many more people both directly through his practice (www.bmptireland.com) and through his part in bringing the training to Ireland and many other parts of the world. Having seen the way that BMPT had helped Padraig and others get back on the road to good health I had to be part of this new wave of therapists. I took part in the first week long intensive training period for Level 1 and continued my training and studying for the following year. I then took part in the Level 2 training in August 2019 (along with my mother and aunt), having successfully completed this we are all now qualified and accredited Level 2 Biomagnetic Pair Therapists,
