Unlike some people I know, I do not
believe that magnets are the cure for
mortality. I do believe that they can
increase longevity though. What do you
guys think?

I'm not out to put down magnetic therapy
altogether, but it is true that most of
those magnets you can buy for pain and
longevity and what not are useless. The
magnets in them are so weak that they
cannot even hold up a paperclip through
more than two sheets of paper. In other
words, there's no possible way they could
reach past your skin. Although stronger
magnetic fields may or may not help, the
magnet would probably too greatly affect
metal objects around you to be plausible.
Think of an mri machine. If it takes a
machine that big to look into you using
magnetic fields, than how can such a small
magnet affect you? Whatever that guy
above me is talking about, I wouldn't bolt
headlong into something that seems too
good to be true, since it's usually not.
If you want to try magnetic therapy,
you're better off tying a refridgerator
magnet to yourself than paying alot for
something just as effective. Talk to your
doctor before doing anything, he'll
probably know more than I do. It's very
possible there are alternative medicines
that deal with magnetic fields that I have
not heard of. I do believe in many
alternative medicines myself, I am
actually working toward my second degree
in reiki. I, however, don't see
alternative medicine as a cure all.
You're probably better off with
conventional medication to it's practical
limit. Alternative medicine is just that,
an alternative once conventional
medicine is not a practical option.
Good luck with whatever you decide!

The nonbiased, peer reviewed research that
has been done on magnate’s show they do
not help anymore than the placebo effect.
"conventional medicine is now run
primarily by pharmaceutical companies.
It is all about the almighty dollar for
most physicians.
For the most part they do not even know
what the prescriptions really do and what
their side effects are. They do not
really care, because most are getting some
form of kick-back from the drug makers.
"
there is big money in alternative
therapies and the same form of corruption
can and does happen in that industry!!!
There are many effects of herbs that we
don't know about!!!
