Magnetic Necklaces: Magnets and Injury

Magnetic Necklaces

"Some people believe the magnets could attract blood to the site of an injury because there's iron in the blood. Physicists say that is impossible because iron in blood is in the chemical form of hemoglobin. It's not like the metal". A study at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville Florida by Dr. Robert Bratton "tested 305 people who wore magnetic necklaces or bracelets for 28 days. A second group was given a dummy version". "In the end, people in both groups said they suffered less pain and there was no difference between those who work the real magnetic necklaces or bracelets and those who wore the placebo. The report says most of the therapeutic magnetic products don't generate a magnetic field strong enough to penetrate the various things they come wrapped in. Bratton has called for further research... and controlled studies to prove whether or not these treatments are beneficial".

I agree with Dr. Robert Bratton point of view.
