I tried a Bioflow one, and didn't get on with it at all - it's not that it didn't work, but that it was too 'strong' for me, and made me feel very strange....

But I recommend Bioflow completely, as I received all my money back under their 90 day guarantee - I thought there'd be some catch to this, but there wasn't. Link to their website here:

Even if these don't suit, whichever manufacturer/retailer you go for, make sure they have a (dependable) money back guarantee - then you can't lose either way.

I'm sure I read some quote on the forum that we are not allowed to discuss medicine or treatments for obvious reasons which maybe why there are not too many responses so far - sorry. I'd like to add a view but won't now, only to say for whatever your condition talk to your GP or practie/community nurse on what they think and also look up on forums or established sites on your condition to see what the general consensus is. Bare in mind what works for some won't work for others. Sorry I can't help any further.

Ah, witch medicine!

They don't work and they cannot work, any 'results' from these are purely placebo. Scammers purport that cheap magnets will cure all ills, as well as soften hard water, increase fuel consumption, you name it and their 'special' magnets will fix it.

The markets for these exist in the same manner that it does for astrology, crystal healing, aromatherapy etc.

I know two dogs whose arthritis was helped by magnets on their collars.

That's a prime example: With pets, the scope for deception is far wider as Rover can't communicate varying pain levels. The interpretation is left with the owner, giving huge (if not impossible) margins of error and thus a far lower possibility of complaints against "Magneto-scam.com".

They are good for picking up needles out of the carpet, that's about it.

There's not much about interpretation if a dog starts to jump onto a chair it hasn't managed for ages or if it no longer limps after its normal walk.
