Dear Nora
What an amazingly ignorant AND arrogant statement. What the
hell has "brown-nosing authority" to do with asking for
proof that a certain approach actually works? If you would
think and reason instead of letting your anger and ignorance

take you for this wild emotional ride, you might accept the
fact that even if something has worked for you it is still
anecdotal, NOT proof.

Clinical studies (or Blind Studies) are being done at
hospitals and research facilities all over the world and
none of these have shown any of the effects you claim.

Science absolutely agree with the fact that environmental
factors such as music, color, scent, etc. can have an effect

on human psyche and therefore physical health and
well-being.

I am glad your magnets have such a "healing" effect on you.
If they are so wonderful, why is it so bad to ask those who
make good money selling them, to show some proof on what
they actually do?

Oh, by the way....... try wearing them on your head today
and see if they can do something with your anger. Wow!
