Someone tried to recruit me into a multi-level magnet company, so I went to meet the super stars. It was pretty comical...kind of like what it might be like if a company sold beanie hats with propellers on top...telling you that your IQ will zoom if you wear one. These guys and gals had magnets strategically placed on various places on their bodies. Funny. I did some research and concur with genghis that this is the stuff that snake oil is made of.

I did buy one of their items, though. It was a chair back cover with a genuine fleece outer, "massaging" bumps inside and the whole thing was imbedded with ceramics, which did a nice job of deflecting heat back at me. And, of course, there were magnets in it. Being quite pricey, I didn't want to leave it at work, so I would take it home with me and stick it on my fridge...

If this stuff works, my ex-wife's fridge has to be the healthiest thing on the planet.

Quackery abounds and as we age and feel more mortal, we thrash about trying to find the fountain of youth. Along comes a huckster, makes big claims,  and many people fall for his spiel.

This magnet business was big a few years ago, but it seems to have died down.  Its premise is simple.  Apply magnet power and presto, things get better.

I think the federal government prohibits advertising this bunk as there is little or no scientific proof to support it.  Beware of magnet purveyors except those you use in your workshop.
