My father swears by it. He wears a bracelet and says it really does make a difference. I personally have never used one.
I know a few people that believe in it. Personally I believe the power of suggestion - placebo effect - is very strong and encouraged in this method of healing. If they say 80% of ailments are related to stress, and someone applies magnets to their lives - honestly believing that the healing will begin, then they will also believe their stress to be gone. Meditation, Magnets, Aroma Therapy - I say if it works then have at it.
MAGNETISM EXPLORED AS STROKE TREATMENT
Mickey Poduje, 50, had been out all day with her husband Noel on their 32-foot motorboat off the Massachusetts coast. When they returned to the dock, she climbed out to do her usual job of securing the lines. Then she collapsed.

This happens to be an area of expertise for me.
A few facts.
When Russian cosmonauts first spent long periods of time on board the
Mir space station, they got sick. Their symptoms indicated this was
more than a simple lack of exercise, too much zero gravity or an overdose
of canned food. Their illnesses appeared to be caused by a lack of
contact with the magnetic field surrounding the earth. After the Russian
space station was equipped with a special "magnetism generator", the
cosmonauts" symptoms disappeared.
Cells are ordered by magnetism. The smallest building blocks of
life-atoms and molecules-are micro magnets with a plus and minus pole,
comparable to the earth's poles. Because everything is made up of atoms
and molecules, every structure is determined by magnetism.
Communications in the body take place via miniscule electric currents and the
electromagnetic frequencies they generate. If (electro) magnetism orders the
very process of life, then a disturbance to this magnetism will result
in an increase in chaos and degeneration. And that is exactly what's
being observed: a strong increase in degenerative diseases and chaotic
explosions of violence among humans and in nature.
When these fields are disturbed, people become disoriented-literally
ungrounded. The reverse also appears to be true: magnetism can be
specifically used for healing. There are indicators dating back thousands of
years that ancient Chinese, Japanese and Egyptians used magnets for
healing. Descriptions of magnetic therapy have also been found in the
works of Aristotle, Plato and Homer. They wrote of using the therapy to
help paralysis, rheumatic disorders and swollen joints, among other
things. Cleopatra evidently wore a magnetic amulet on her forehead to
maintain her youth.
These ancient cultures not only worked with actual magnets, usually
made from magnetite, but there are also descriptions of people who could
"magnetize" their hands. This type of magnetism was also
successfully applied in the 18th century by Austrian physician Franz Anton Mesmer,
among others. The success of his treatment method was so striking that
the medical and political authorities of his time felt seriously
threatened and wanted to have Mesmer beheaded. Mesmer was eventually
vindicated and this type of "magnetization" is still practiced by healers
today.
What Mesmer was not able to prove scientifically back then, has been
proven now. Robert Becker has demonstrated that the brain waves of
healers who magnetize their hands are in synch with the frequency of the
earth's natural magnetic field. This same frequency has also been
measured among meditating monks. Researchers at the Menninger Clinic in
Kansas, USA, found that healers will often produce up to a million volts of
charge during healing work. In other words: meditating is not some
cosmic practice, but can actually ground you to the earth. Many healers,
too, do nothing more than reconnect their patients to the Earth using
their magnetic powers.
Research into the healing effects of magnetic therapy is still in the
early stages. There is still no equipment capable of precisely measuring
the subtle frequencies in the body. As a result, magnetic therapy has
made little headway in convincing the medical establishment of its
importance. However, evidence is mounting that electromagnetic fields are
vital forces that can stimulate remarkable healing.
George Burke writes in his book Magnetic Therapy: "Healing is nothing
other than restoring the regulating ability of the magnetic force."
He concludes that magnetic therapy quickly increases the influx of
vital power in the body and re-magnetizes it, restoring its ability to
organize itself. "This gives the body back its natural magnetic power."
Does Magnetic Therapy work? There is so much research that says yes. I use magnets to help with my pains and aches. Not just any magnet will help, your refridgerator magnets only have a Goss of 50 (not very strong), a MRI machine has a Goss of 20.000. For a magnet to provide effective range I suggest something with a Goss between 300 and 4,000. This is a primal area for health.

Comments: Do magnetic therapy products really work? Does the pain really go away? I found this company that sells magnetic products and wondering if anyone has tried their products or heard of them? [Link Removed]
