Default PD & Magnetism ???
I see the FDA has just approved a magnet device for treatment of head aches.
Has anyone tried it for PD.??

Yes, the FDA approved Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for migraine treatment a few weeks ago. There was a very positive report of a study out of Japan back in April using TMS for PD. It showed a significant improvement in motor symptoms that lasted for several months. I was surprised when I didn't hear more about it. I'll try to find the link.

Default TMS benefits in Parkinson's disease
A course of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) delivered over the supplementary motor area (SMA) improves motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), shows results from a randomized controlled trial.
