I have not seen those offers myself...that must be a rather new site. The fellow I used to buy from in the mid 90's died and his site went with him.

Some things about magnets:

1) they do not really cure anything.

2) if you use the rare earth neodymium ones that are very strong, I don't believe you need to wear them all day or even for long periods.

I discovered that they unload a busy nerve quickly. When I started with the dime sized neodymium ones that first were targeting sports injuries, I taped them on my knee. I found that sometimes they "overloaded" me and I became dizzy. So I only used them at night. The new large ones especially will penetrate 6-8 in.

I believe now that they sort of "earth" you... wipe out static or stuck nerves that fire when there is no pain at the moment.

3) remember... pain is a signal the body sends when something is wrong. Don't wipe it away completely. Always respect that you are not 100% and don't be fooled into activities that strain the place causing pain. Magnets can lull you into a false sense of well being and you can injure yourself worse because of that.

The inventer of the Magnabloc was a doctor at Vanderbilt University. I saw a story about him on a news show, Dateline I think. It was in the 90's. His Magnablocs were 4 dime sized neos with mixed polarities sealed in a square of plastic...

The logo on this site shows it in a schematic.
He did alot of research on it. This particular product was very expensive ---very. So I made my own. His articles might still be on the internet if you care to search for them.

4) if you use a neo that is not in plastic, and you put the metal against your skin, you may get a "nickel" rash or what my podiatrist called a "magnet burn". So I eventually made my own pads. Foot insoles never worked for me. I always placed my mags along a nerve path...so I used them for my feet by placing on the ankle. I did use a tiny one on my broken toe...right over the 2 fractures...that helped the bones in that case heal faster.

5) You can look up acupressure points on the net. One book I have suggested magnets in the palms of the hand, to lower blood pressure. There is a pressure point about 4 inches up the forearm, that responds to my magnets when my hands are stiff..or hurt alot (carpal tunnel). There is also the meniscal pressure point on the lateral side of the knee (right where it bends) that my orthopedic doctor showed me when my knee was so terrible. Both those work well for me. So search for your specific pressure points, online, and try those.

6) I have found that polarity may change for some of my pain. If one pole fails to work, or induces buzzing/vibrating sensations, flip the magnet over. I don't think the body retains pain in only one polarity therefore. So you have to be flexible about this. You will know within minutes if you have the correct polarity that day, for the painful issue. The wrong polarity will enhance the pain...and also verify you are in the correct location for a magnet session.
