So how are the magnets supposed to help? I’m curious. And do they have to be some sort of special magnets? You mentioned a type or brand?
"While this idea may sound plausible because blood contains iron and magnets attract iron, the iron in blood is bound to hemoglobin and is not ferromagnetic (that permanent kind of magnetism that keeps magnets on a refrigerator, for example). If blood was ferromagnetic, you would essentially blow up when undergoing an MRI scan, in which the magnets used are thousands of times more powerful than those incorporated into magnetic bracelets and the like, according to an article by Dr. Bruce Flamm, a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California, Irvine.” Live Science -D > On May 9, 2019, at 5:40 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Nobody except kooks and flat earthers recommend them but I am SOLD on > magnetic therapy anyway.
