Interesting you found this, David--
--considering the discussions of magnet therapy that have been going on here lately.
I started doing a little reserach, and have not really been able to find anything solidly scientific about the efficacy; most of what I've found falls into the personal testimony category. That may not be a strike against this type of therapy, as it is fairly new, but I do tend to be cautious when most of what can be found about a therapy are either personal testimonies or invitations to invest.
The theory behind the therapy is OK--there's certainly evidence for microvascular repair from electrical/magnetic stimulation, and microvascular damage does contribute to a lot of conditions, but I imagine this may eventually fall into a similar category as the Rebuilder, Anodyne, IFE, etc.--helpful in some conditions/for some people, but not necessarily others.
