Tried those magnets too. For migraines. Just more $$$$$$$ down the rat hole.

Should have known better.

One school of thought is based on the ideas of Davis and Rawls, whose studies done in the 1930s suggest that exposure to biomagnetic negative poles enhance health, while biomagnetic positive poles exacerbate disease. More recently, Dr. William Philpott has been championing the Davis and Rawls point of view and drawing conclusions based upon his own clinical experience. Here is what Philpott feels each pole will do:North (Negative) PoleRelieves pain Reduces swelling Promotes tissue alkalinization Promotes sound, restful sleep Increases tissue oxygenation Calms the nervous system Assists in relief of addictive tendencies South (Positive) PoleAccelerates growth indiscriminately Increases swelling Promotes tissue acidity Decreases tissue oxygenation Makes sleep less sound and restful Promotes anxiety There are those who support the claims of Philpott. Yet, scientists wishing to duplicate the work of Davis and Rawls cannot find any data to work from. And a search of the literature shows Philpott to be making more claims than scientific evidence can support at this time. Philpott also promotes his own magnets and may therefore be biased. This is not to say that these claims are false; however, more scientific research confirming or disproving these claims needs to be done.The only "

joyce,i'm curious. what type of magnets did you use. did someone show you where they should be placed. how long did you try it.i think this is a hit or miss type of therapy with very low probability of treating something as complicated as IBS.however, i think that the medical researchers should be doing more research in this field instead of pumping billions into symptom suppressing drugs.

kelSorry to take so long to answer.I bought these from a guy who swore by them. He showed me how to use them and for how long. He even gave a demomstration of how to use the one I got for back pain. That one made my back feel better right after I used it, but didn't get rid of the chronic pain.

This is an interesting thread kel, I'm quite curious about magnet therapy.
