		<description>While the claims are anecdotal, that doesn't change their validity.  

I have had patients report great improvement with magnets.  However I remain concerned about an issue that nobody has been able to address to my satisfaction.

Magnets for short term usage are probably fine, it is long term use that I wonder about.  There have been several different cases citing the proximity of power lines to increased rates of certain types of cancers.  The only reason I can see would be the magnetic field generated at a right angle to the flow of the power through the lines.

My concern is that there would be no difference between proximity to power lines and long term exposure to the field generated by "therapeutic" magnets.

For chronic back issues, I would stick with chiropractic and exercise.</description>

		<description>Magnets have been proved to increase the blood flow in the legs of people with diabetes.  Nothing more has been proved, other claims are just anecdotal.</description>

I used this product and found it worked wonderfully all the time

anytime I go to a fair and i overexert or my neck, back, shoulders, knees etc hurt I put on my magnets and usually by morning or even sooner it is gone.  I have won them for many days in a row.

I do not think the product you showed is strong enough being only 400 gauss.

Be aware that about 5 years ago magnelyfe changed the tape from the great waterproof tape that stayed on for three days during showers and even swimming to this inferior tape that falls off sometimes in minutes.

I use other tapes some I have found online if on a place where it stays in contact like the neck, you can put one magnet on the outside of the neck of the clothes and one on the inside and this will hold well

I used waterproof first aid tape and make sure I have enough on there to hold it on for a while as they are expensive to lose.

Look around and you will probably find it cheaper than the link..I got last for $15,00 for two (think it was vita-life or vita health or something like that

here is what they look like be sure to put the n (north) side to the skin

You really should also use a chiropractor trained by the palmer method.

I have been in about 20 car wrecks and was run over by a car and recently hit in driver's side at 50 mph so I know pain in back/neck/shoulders and knees.

I thank god ofr magnets and my chiropractor also use hot and cold showers (I will post how below)

and use a good body cream like little moon a##kisser herbdoc balm or herbdoc.com 's deep tissue repair oil also</description>

I have friends who claim it works.  I remain skeptical.</description>
