Image MAGNET THERAPY
Magnet therapy is a form of alternative medicine that claims to be able to diagnose, treat and cure health problems by the use of magnets. Several methods and techniques are employed by "therapists." Magnets are placed on various parts of the body and are thought to draw out toxins, cancers and the like. Another practice is to use magnets to alter the alleged magnetic field that surrounds and is emitted from a person's body so that it is in tune with the larger magnetic field of the surrounding environment.
