It’s like…a miracle. How do they work?
Actually, the people who think that the magnetosphere does something tend to be fairly credible. Happy to believe “magets” and ley lines don’t do much.
Not to defend magnetic therapy, but you can have it both ways. Almost every prescription and OTC drug can kill you if used incorrectly. This doesn’t prove that drugs don’t work, just that you have to use them correctly. I’m sure there are plenty of magnet sellers who would use power lines as proof that magnets work.
I’m not familiar with those, but my guess would be that people wear them because they look pretty.
I used one of those magnetic rings to cure finger pain. In order to see how well it was working, I popped my hand into an MRI I happened have lying around. I no longer have finger pain.
They’re unreasonably expensive pieces of plastic touted as giving you improved energy and balance. People wear them because they are marketed with simple parlor tricks and because “people” suck at critical thinking.
I would tell you, but I could be considered a scientist, so that obviously disqualifies me from answering the question.
Well, there was a whole huge table covered with magnetic jewelry on a table in a building at the state fair last week. Doing booming business. Right between the New! Improved! Miracle Mop! and the waterless cookwear. Stupid people, they could have got an all day pass for the rides and a pretty good meal for the price of a bracelet.
It all depends on how long it takes for Magneto to get angry and kill his therapist.
Or if Magneto is the therapist, how long he can put up with your Non-mutant whining and/or how soon you accept him as Homo Superior.
Nicely done.

If you’re looking for a miracle cure, try this method: strap a big crystal to your forehead. Somebody will see it and come offer to sell you a miracle cure.

So if the FDA approves magnetic treatment to counter depression because studies showed that it worked, it’s still quackery, right? (Nr. 3)
Isn’t there a real danger of becoming stuck to refrigerator doors?
From the article you linked to:
So, in other words, it has nothing to do with what is being discussed here.
Amazing!! Just imagine how long it would have taken your pain to fade if you hadn’t used magnets!
