I developed bilateral Carpal Tunnel syndrome

tried a round of steroid injections there, that hurt like hell and didnt help the symptoms

they wanted to do surgery

I went to a health Fair, I saw and bought 2 copper and magnet bracelets, had significant reduction in synptoms with in a week.

12 years later, I still wear them, and no surgery needed

I've only ever seen them used on the horses, but they seem to work very well for them.

I love them\

dont try to take my copper and magnets away

If anyone can offer any solid scientific evidence, ie: a double blind study done by an independent agent, please post it. Weezie asked 9 mouths ago and only anacdotal evidence has been offered.

You could try MagnaBloc via their website and contact them as I know they have done some studies. This was originally posted by John Bosco in June. Or if you could not get the information ther then contact the Amway Corporation they own Magna Bloc I think. They could now be contacted under the name Alticor. Worth a try?

Good hunting,

Objective observation of phenomena is the basis of scientific experimentation and research, however, since it is impossible to separate the observer from what is being observed, making all studies null and void, we, or should I say Western medicine is standing on shaky ground.

The inablity to separate the observer from the phenomenon is only relavent to subatomic physics.
It would certainly be possible to set up a double blind study of magnet therapy.
I have no problem with healing through "placebo effect", or other forms of Subjective effect treatment. I do object to pretending that Objective effects are happening. I also see it as clearly dishonest not to be interested in which kind of medicine we are practicing.
If western medicine is on shaky ground then so is western engineering which is also based on "unreliable science". So I guess the next time you need to go somewhere you should use the reliable methods of travel like astral projection or levitation rather than a train or automobile.

Are you seriously suggesting taking the word of one of the all time greats of pyramide sales plans. The essence of pyramide selling is dishonest advertisement. Amway is a pyramide sales operation. They are not a trustworthy source of information.

Even if they were a firm with a better reputation, say Proctor-Gamble or Dow Chemical, the mere fact that they are selling the product makes their studies unacceptable. The tester must be independent of anyone who is going to make a financial profit off the product.

It could be interesting to go further with your questionable (and possibly unproven) observation about the Amway Corporation, and they being nothing more than a 'pyramid' sales operation; but that is not the intention of this thread.
I have found upon inquiry that they were investigated along with other multilevel businesses about 'magnetic therapy' and the magna bloc in particular by completely independent and unbiased scource and it was established that magna bloc used correctly is effective in blocking pain sensation.

I am making further inquiries through the government watchdogs with regards the legality of the Amway business. Possibly something for a future thread?

Keep smiling.
