Hi Shelley, those type of necklaces should be fine, the magnetic necklaces that i have seen are very very weak in magnetic strength and nothing to worry about what so ever, because of their very low guass strength, and they are not placed directly on the skin, with the warning i posted, i am referring to placing very strong magnets directly on a persons throat, the magnets with a guass reading of anything from 1,000 to 15,000 gauss Neodyium magnets, which are the most strongest magnets out that i know of anyway.

I have been using magnets for approx 20 years, the first ones i got had a warning on the side of the packet about the pacemakers and not to place them anywere near your throat, this is why i pass on that information as especially now we we are talking about magnets that are very powerfull and a lot more powerfull than those origonal ones with that warning on the side of the packet.
I have heard of some even felling dizzy placing magnets on their neck, someone with medical knowledge may be able to explain the exact reason why, its something that i never wanted to find out , just always played on the safe side and never put them on anyones throat.

Hi jo55, You know that magnets have been used for over 500 years for pain, you would think that many more people would know about the qualities of magnetic therapy, to get the best results out of magnets is to place them directly on your sore spot, using moleskin first, followed by the magnet and then the strong waterproof adhesive tape to keep them stuck on well, and left on for about 3 days take off, bath and powder the area, then within a couple hours put them back on, sometimes you may notice that the origonal sore spot has moved so general rule is were its sore is were you put them.

I took the magnets out of some old hard drives to be used at night. Do you know how strong these magnets are. They are almost impossible to seperate once they find each other. :icon_wink:

here's some info on the hard drive magnets -

I don't know if I would try those on my body - they might be too strong.??
here's a results list on Biomagnetic therapy- you might find more info there

Hi Lanny, i have never used them so i haven't a clue how strong they are, i suppose it would depend on what size gigabyte hardrive were talking about too, if you go to the hardrive manufacturers support page and email that question to them, they MAY be able to tell you.

A very good tip that MrD told me was to put a piece of moleskin under the magnet to stop any magnetic burn, which has happened to me once, it leaves a very red unpleasant round mark on your skin which takes a few days to go.
If the magnets are only real small you don't need to do that , but if they are real powerfull it would be wise to put the moleskin underneath the magnet.

Just remember that opposite poles attract to each other, if you are placing anymore than one magnet in one area, place them down on a flat table whilst holding them firmly very slowly move them towards each other, if they start to attract STOP and flip one of the magnets over to the otherside, if you try the same again, you will notice now that the magnets will push away from each other, now thats how you should place them on yourself,[pushing away from each other] this creates the magnetic field you want.
good luck
Brian
