Your ongoing effort to psycho analyze me is not relevant to
this board, Beth. The comments on
magnet "therapy" however, is.

Let me make one thing perfectly clear: Magnets are NOT a
"new field or major new portion of the medical community".
At best it is a hair brain idea and attempt on a beneficial
simple device to cure anything from Multiple Sclerosis to
hangnails. In the scientific community's opinion it is a
SCAM thought up entirely to take advantage of people in
need.

What NASA has to do with magnetic soles and patches, I have
no idea. If this is a way of legitimizing your position,
maybe you can explain?

MRI is a diagnostic tool only, not intended nor used to
relieve any symptoms or heal any illness.

Your statement is simply hogwash and suggesting to anybody
here that magnet patches are in any way an "aspect of new
medical technology" is misrepresenting the fact. The magnets
you are talking about can be bought and sold by anybody and
are often introduced through pyramid scheme-like activities,
or at parties like Tupperware. They are offered as a
get-rich-quick opportunity for people in financial distress,
who in their turn sell their pseudo-science to those in
need.

After I made my comments on these magnets here on the board,
I have received numerous private e-mail from an individual
selling them to you, calling me every name in the book
including un-patriotic (!), an a traitor (?), interfering in
free enterprise. What does this tell you? Are these the kind
of people you want to trust with your health? Is this the
"new age" I'm being asked to join?

Think about it.
