I think the OP probably needs more objective advice rather than that link that contains ridiculous statements such as “A magnet placed above a major artery........ensures that the magnetic field is carried further around the body.” Or even more ludicrous: “Magnetise your drinking water in 10 mintues” (sic). I’d be tempted to say “The prices aren’t too bad, try it if you must”; However, a website that claims that its magnets can treat peripheral vascular disease, multiple sclerosis and strokes, needs treating with the contempt it deserves.
The implications of someone eschewing their medication in preference to strapping magnets to their head makes me shudder.

They don't work and they cannot work, any 'results' from these are purely placebo.

If someone tries a magnet and feels better for it, does it matter if the improvement is down to the placebo effect?

OP - try one for yourself through one of the companies that gives you your money back if it doesn't work. If it helps, keep it - it doesn't matter how it helps - if not, return it.

I think it matters if someone spends money on something and then finds that it doesn't work (whatever it is)! People don't always successfully manage to get their money back. This is a money saving site after all!

I saw some magnets (for pain relief) for sale in a Lloyds chemist. I asked the pharmacist who worked there if they were any good, before parting with my tenner! She looked incredulous and said "Why would they work - they're magnets?". If I were the op, I would consult a doctor about the so-called beneficial effects of magnetism, before spending any money!

It matters because it perpetuates the myth, and then people buy them for their pets, and see imaginary benefits.

:rotfl:Maybe people could save money by using imaginary magnets?

Sorry for laughing - it just tickled me!

What happens if two people wearing these magnets meet? Presumably it depends which way your poles are facing as to whether you stick or not.

mickog asked if anyone had any experience of magnets and where to buy them. If my experience had been negative, I would have said so. I offered a couple of objective examples of how the dogs had improved. In both cases, the owners weren't sure if the magnets had been responsible and took them off the dogs and they deteriorated again and improved when the magnets were replaced. The whole idea is weird but that's been my experience.

The OP has been given a recommendation for a company that gives a money-back guarantee. I think it's up to him/her to decide whether to try it and also whether it helps.

thanks mojisola, Its nice to get some feed back from people, Seems like i might just have to give one of the money back sites a go and make my own mind up if it works or not, I just posted the question on site as these magnet & copper braclets seem to have been around for quite some time and
