Does magnetic therapy really work?

At one time, I suffered from severe balance problems as a result of an inner ear infection. Months went by and nothing seemed to work until a friend suggested magnetic necklaces as a possible solution. Of course I was skeptical, but decided to give it a try. To my amazement, within a few days, my balance had improved considerably. So much that I even began to sell magnetic jewelry on ebay. Some people claim wonderful results after using the jewelry and others seem not to notice any difference. My doctor says it is all in my imagination, but who am I to argue with results. What do you think?

magnetic theraphy really works, thathal has no idea on magnet therapy. doctors also explained that magnet therapy is good for the body, it improves our blood circulation and reduces pain in the body. I am selling magnetic titanium bracelets!

Hello stringbean! I don't know about magnets effects on balance problems but I can tell you that it transcranial magnetic therapy is receivng a lot of attention in psychiatry! It has had promising results for depression. It is basically a treatment where magnets are used around the head. Here is a link to various resources about its use! I find it fascinating! And back to the balance, if YOU think it helped, that is all that matters! You have to live with your pain/problems, no one else! BEst of luck!

Thanks for the comment crazynurse. I know it helps. Actually, I know a chiropracter in Washington State who recommends magnetic jewelry for his patients from time to time. I don't know what their individual problems are, but he wouldn't keep doing that if he didn't think it helped them.
