Magnets will work well to take away pain, they will heal broken bones more quickly. I have just had a broken rib from a fall, it was very painful, and the fracture was healed in half the time( 6 wks normally) 3 weeks aproximately with the magnets. One needs to know the strenght of the magnet (gauss) and increase the strenght when necessary. Depending on the strenght of the magnets in bracelets or neckleces, I would inquire about it first, or try and see if they work for you.
Magnets have no effect on the body. NONE whatsoever. They are a scam and a total waste of money.
No.
I tried a necklace for six months with no help at all. I have heard of good results though.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to double-blind test the effectiveness of magnet therapy. However, the proposed mechanisms for how these magnets are supposed to help are based on misunderstandings of magnetism and of biology.
The only evidence for the effectiveness of magnets is anecdotal. This does not mean these people do not experience benefits, but it is not strong evidence that their benefits had anything to do with the magnets. It is very likely a placebo effect.
That said, there’s no harm in it unless you are spending money on something that doesn’t work for you instead of seeing a doctor for a serious condition. Sometimes the psychological effect of empowering oneself can be beneficial. Just don’t expect it to actually cure anything.
Magnets worked for me big time, it helped with pain management for elbow tendinitis for about 2 years. Highly recommended.
errr !!! i donot think it is true . as magnets are only the iron pieces which attracte the other magnetic peices .They cannt cure you .its only an ancient belief .
You will get a huge mix of opinions on this. Many people claim they work great for relieving pain. Others will have no affect whatsoever. There are too many variables that go into this type of "treatment" to know if it will work or not. It also depends on what you are trying to treat.
There are a few things to know before you purchase. One is watch out for multi-level marketing companies with hugely inflated prices. Also find out the "gauss" (strength) of the magnets in the bracelet. This will open up another whole can of worms because I’m sure you will be wondering what "gauss" is right for you. Unfortunately you won’t know until you try it. I have heard people have good results with an 800 gauss, and I have heard from some that they needed to go as strong as 9000 before their body reacted. Many bracelets you will find are probably going to be between 800-2500 gauss which seems to be somewhat of a "standard" for manufacturers of these products.
Here is a link where you can find some bracelets and/or books on magnetic therapy.

Good luck!
