Magnetic bed underlays ?

We have had one for a few months now, needed a new underlay anyway. As yet I am still waiting for it to work.

Not exactly answering your question but I do have a positive experience with those small "super magnets" (about 6mm in diameter).

I jammed my finger in the car door, and while I was hopping around venting my feelings my wife produced a magnet, band-aided it to the fingernail and within a couple of minutes the throbbing stopped and when I took the magnet off 2 days later the nail had not turned blue and I didn't lose it.

I was very impressed for usually I'm as sceptical as hell with stories like that.

The iron in the blood (haemoglobin) is not magnetic and there's no logical reason for a magnet to have any effect, but it did. Perhaps the magnets can affect other body pains.

Dug,sorry to be the bearer of bad news as i heard on the radio earlier this week, that, British tests had concluded that the magnetic & copper bangles,underlays & so on do not in fact work but if the consumer thinks that it is working, it is mind over matter & not the actual item.
My wife bought me the magnetic underlay thing 5 or so yrs ago, found it too uncomforable.

Cheers,

I have bad elbows and knees and my wife bought one and put it on the bed. and didnt tell me so I wouldnthave any opinion for a while.

The only change i found was the bloody magnets stuck into me.

I would rate them along with HICLONES Magnetic Fuel Polarizers and the like.

Sorry Doug but "it wasnt good for me"

Have suffered with arthritic pain for many years. Have had many operations on both knees with eventual joint replacement, have had both hip joints replaced. Recently diagnosed with arthritis in the lower back. Have used the magnetic underlay for about 5 years. Is there any difference. Hard to say, might have been a lot worse without it. Something like the underlay is a very subjective when it comes to assessing usefulness.

BEEN SLEEPING ON ONE FOR SEVEN YEARS-My wife wanted to try one

They do not work - The older you get the more pain you suffer and those little magnets do not help :-)

maybe they only work if your a negative person, like me

i swear by mine underlay, not a big differance but less pain for the first hour of the day... i have a bad neck prolaspe....

i got magnetic soles too, i feel im able to be calmer... the soles are great for foot massage...

Im getting some of those magnetic for my car soon. Whats good for the gander eh....lol..

Hi there if you sleep with a watch watch your time because it will lose time sounds silly but true, went to get new battrey for my watch it wouldnt keep time so had the battrey,looked at thought it was buggerd the lady said it was ok she asked me if i sleep with a magnetic pillow and i said yes,i have a bad neck and seem to help so off came the watch at night and my watch hasnt missed a beat regards Stan.

In trials of medications, there's about a 30% rate of positive reports with placebos.

The cheapest medical interventions ever.

SWMBO brought one a couople of years back, and it has ended up in the bin.

REASON........I still get broken sleep, wake up all hours, and my back is still sore.

Hi D200Dug
I have been using innersoles with small magnets in each shoe for yrs & have found them very beneficial. ( on my feet 12hrs shifts ) I also have 10cent piece size magnets which I place directly onto area with tape ( eg shoulder or hip) also helps when I have an area that is more painful than usual. The supposed therapeutic effect from the magnets wears off after several hrs once removed from skin contact.
Am wondering if all above writers find there's no benefit from their magnetic underlay as the magnets are too far from the skin ( ie wool layer between magnet & skin with too much padding) I find the magnets need to be in closer contact to the skin to be helpful. I also saw the recent UK research result & am wondering how far the magnets were from skin contact? It would be interesting to read the full research paper. Does Margo sleep on her side or her back? Sleeping on her pain affected side may help. Good luck
cheers Sue

As steveinoz said, they certainly do work.

In separating $450 from the gullible they work brilliantly.

Sadly, this is the only thing they do.

Hi,
If the magnets in an MRI machine have zilch effect on a human body, any piddling little 'super' magnet ain't got Buckley's.

A total WOMBAT.

cheers
