Do you think is just a bunch of hoodo.... or has anyone seen real results from this. What is it supposed to do anyways. And is there a difference between copper, titanium, stainless steel, or just magnetic? Do they all do the same thing?

hoodo...there was a study done several years ago when they were really popular and it showed there was no benefit or healing.

I strongly believe in magnet therapy because it works with the energy of the body. I put magnets on my sisters wrists on certain points for nausea when she was feeling really nauseated and it went away right away. I also do that when my stomach doesn't feel well and it helps. I also often sleep on a magnet pad and when I do I wake up without aches and tension. If I forget, I'm much more achy.

Read Magnet Therapy by Dr Lawrence and Dr Rosch. It is an informative and interesting book. My wife and I used to sell Nikken magnet products and witnessed some amazing results. I believe they do work in a significant number of cases.

It is based on the science of the placebo effect. This effect is so strong that all drugs need to be tested against it. It works on how suggestable someone is. You are what you eat not what you magnetize. See below to see how much diet effects health. Fat people are not healthy even wearing magnets. Wear magnets and eat a pound of bacon everyday and you will have bad problems soon.
You do not need magnets but need proper sleep, proper foods, sunlight, fresh air and exercise.

Some say it works, others say it doesn't. I believe it is a psychological thing. It is suppose to take all your aches and pains away by just wearing a bracelet which can be quite expensive if you know which ones real and fake.

A friend of our family bought the magnetic mattress and swears it has helped her back. She is moving around a lot more easily than she used to. I've never tried it.

I like your term "hoodo". Pardon me for stealing it. Magnetic bracelets are a bunch of hoodo. Too many scientific tests have proven this.

of all, ask yourself what effect magnets.. 1. metals 2. current
current is a movement of positive (+) and negative (-) ions through a medium. our body consists of positive and negative ions n the medium is our blood. just like the normal electric current. even in the seas, there are current. so yes! magnets do affect us..
everyone of us need magnetism, just like we need oxygen. due to the earth aging, earth itself is losing its own magnetism so we are affected. so to counter this prob, we make use of medical magnets. there is a slight difference in magnetic therapy and medical magnet technology. in magnetic therapy, they claim that their magnets are strong and stuff but its actually not.
to be qualify as a medical magnet, it has to be about 550 gauss to 1300 gauss. btw, magnets have 3 categories.. 1. Industrial Magnet (550 gauss or less) 2. Normal Magnet (20 gauss or less)(those magnets on the refrigerators) 3. Medical Magnet
Fleming Left Hand Rule.. Familiar?.. so yea, its all scientific. it can affect our body because we do have 'current' in our body. i urge to everyone not to take magnetic therapy as nonsense. i urge to everyone to read more about it. perhaps seeing is believing, so go and try it or ask around those who have use magnetic therapy what is the feeling.
magnetic therapy/medical magnets technology helps to improve ones' blood circulation without affecting one's heart rate. if you let a diabetic patient uses it, i'm sure he/she will love it.

I have had hip problems and I carry two magnets one in each pocket and my hip problems are not half as bad as what they were. So yes I do think magnets do work.

I have a UNCLE with arthritis and he uses a copper bracelet.I saw him before and after. Even i noticed a difference. IT could also be the copper.BUT i see he is doing things he couldnt do before. IT works with his body chemistry.

It's just another one of those things that sound good but are doing anything for you. If you were to get any results you would have to wear a magnet so big you couldn't carry it around on your body. Copper worn on the body can be absorbed in to the body, but again it's doubtful if enough can be absorbed to do any good.
Don't waste your money on these things.
