I am constantly amazed when people involved in the field of magnotherapy say
that "no one knows how it works". I think it's because we are trying too hard
to find the answer or are we are just complicating it too much? This then
gives orthodox medicine and sceptics ammunition to dispute findings because
of the lack of clinical studies.

Yes, Ray, I agree with you here. It's happened time and time again and will
continue to happen until more studies are done and published.

Clinical studies aren't necessarily the answer to the reason why something
works or not, if it works, then it does, simple. No one is suggesting that it
works for everyone otherwise we would all be millionaires, however the
results speak for themselves and are very much in our favour. The only reason
that mainstream medicine won't accept it is because you cannot patent a
static magnet and therefor cannot control it's effect.

I agree with you again here. I've been using magnets called neodymium since
1993 for pain and they have worked for me over and over again, 99% of the
time. I believe that another reason that mainstream medicine won't accept it
is because they cannot find a scientific answer for the reason behind why
magnets work
I
I know that some products have been granted patents but when you look at the
products and it's claims then a different picture emerges, which I will
discuss if anyone is interested.

Anything can be patented including designs in magnetic fields. This does not
necessarily mean that because it is patented that it is better.....it's just
different. The products that I use have a patented stainless steel clip that
houses the neodymium magnets and enhances their use for the user.

One of the biggest problems that I see in Magnetic Therapy is that in the way
it is distributed, one minute you are a man/woman in the street, the next you
purchase a product, you are then recruited and now your an expert selling
your product without a clue as to how it works and the only answer you get
when you want to find out more is " no one knows" so say nothing. Very
convenient and gives all the ammunition to the sceptics that they want.

With reference to the above. The main premise behind MLM is to get as many
people selling under an individual in order to make MONEY. I sell magnets
both privately and through my internet web site which has been in business
for over 3 years. I have a great deal of personal knowledge of how to use
the magnets I sell because I've used them for over 7 years, and have
experimented with them in many different ways during this time. My goal is
to make money as well, but not by getting people to sell under me. I want to
become successful financially by providing good quality therapeutic magnetic
products, at reasonable prices, to people who happen to be looking for them.

A recent message to this site when asked whether the company supplied a
product that could be worn 24 hrs instead of just at night at about £300 to
£900 a time, the answer was about another £150.00 worth. Great just what a
pensioner needs on a budget, if that person was ethically motivated then
another companies product should be suggested to suit the needs of the person
not what you've got in your company bag.

With reference to the above....this is just good salesmanship. They may not
sell a product that can be utilized for all parts of the body and therefore
cannot tell you how to best use the product in other ways. This is only one
company you are talking about. There are other companies out there with
different products, utilizing different technologies and at all price
ranges.

I hope I have brought up a "couple" of topics for discussion, but be warned,
I meet and eat multi-level marketers every week-- and I know how it works.
Ray.

I am not a multi-level marketer. I too know how it works, and it bothers me.
