I know that the product that John is speaking about is a wonderful one. I
however find it more advantageous to my magnets directly on the pain. For me
they work much more quickly this way. I handle every pain that I get the same
way. If I have arthritic pains in my fingers I will place a magnet either on
the finger or somewhere close to it. Because the magnets are neodymium, they
have great depth of penetration....approximately 2" in all directions. If
the pain is on my leg I will use an individual magnet or a special band
purposely made for that area of the body. If the pain is in my hips I will
use one of the Back Belts across my hips with the magnets placed directly
over the pain. This may sound hard to believe, but many people, including
myself, experience relief in a matter of minutes.
