>>>>>I have seen a set of 4 magnets with alternating polarities being

are your
thoughts regarding this?



Yep, they both work, and the only studies suggesting one is more effective
than the other are from Vanderbilt who found that the multipole magnets were
more effective on tissue than the single pole magnets. But that was in the
lab, not in real life.

Judging from instructions posted here, the multipole magnets are easier to
use, just put 'em on and reap the benefits.
The single pole magnets need to be carefully positioned on acupuncture
points it would seem.

Bear in mind that the mechanism behind magnotherapy is still not proven,
lots of different theories, some very odd.
