We need to be careful assigning theories, the mechanism is not understood or
proven. Dr Vaclavec suggests a buffering effect on the blood restoring blood
pH to optimum levels. Others have suggested an effect on the fibrin,
breaking up the 'coin-roll' chains of red blood cells. Both effects lead to
the blood cells carrying more oxygen.

You would need to define what a magnetic charge is, it sounds like a magnetic
monopole. You would also need to explain what you mean by speed-up, that
suggests a higher blood pressure causing a faster flow, which does not seem
to happen.

What we can say is that fluid flow through magnetic fields does produce
subtle changes to the fluid. There are plenty of studies showing that. In
blood, one effect seems to be that more oxygen is carried to the body tissues
and more natural waste products brought out of the tissues.

We need to be careful about ascribing mechanisms, nothing is proven yet.
Some people will attack your theory and claim that as the theory is flawed,
magnotherapy is BS. But there are plenty of studies showing magnotherapy is
effective.

Best wishes
