GOIZ REFLEX THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RIGHT HEMIBODY IN MEDICINAL BIOMAGNETISM

The Shortening of the Right hemibody (SRH) is a phenomenon that occurs in Medicinal Biomagnetism (MB), a technique developed by Isaac Goiz Durán from the 80’s. This method makes use of the static magnetic field (SMF) generated by a negative magnet applied to the skin in a dysfunctional anatomical region, out of its physiological balance, tending to alkalinity, which leads to the consequent contraction of the muscles of the right hemibody (RH). The elongation of the hemibody or muscle relaxation occurs when the point that receives the influence of the SMF is dysfunctional towards acidity caused by physiological imbalance. The shortening or elongation of the RH is a reflex called magnet-foot reflex, magnet-sympathetic-foot reflex or Goiz Reflex (GR). The objective of this study was to carry out a narrative review in order to demonstrate the importance of RH for the technique, identifying the neuromuscular response mechanism that leads to the contraction or relaxation of the musculature. It was concluded that the GR is the main tool for energy diagnosis, confirmation and treatment of Biomagnetic Pairs (BMP). Its neuromuscular mechanism, similar to strength tests (a form of applied kinesiology), possibly results from the activation of different brain regions: cerebral amygdala, frontal and parietal lobes and areas corresponding to those stimulated with the SMF, promoting a reflex that, like the withdrawal reflex, is unconscious and qualifies the response in a binary way (stimulated area positively or negatively polarized). Its accuracy may be subject to interference from the information or semantic field of the therapist and the patient. The RH is more susceptible to manifest the GR which could occur on both sides.The GR concept was revisited over the years of MB development, a new science in constant evolution, and despite being a tool whose use and effectiveness have practical evidence, it is necessary to produce scientific evidence that proves its neuromuscular mechanism.
