    i've seen these here and there. sounds like a great idea, but i think it's gotta be fake. "if you wear it, then it will you make you feel and perform better" = self-fulfilling prophecy.

    the placebo effect at it's finest..

    i'd still try it though :grin:

    The strongest magnetic field we can generate is something called an MRI machine. Which effects body for just long enough to (milliseconds) to get pictures. Don't you think if magnets did anything, MRI would be a treatment modality and not just an imaging one?

    Also, iron is stored in your red blood cells "pulling them out" should destroy them and possibly kill you from bleeding.
    People are so gullible ;) .

    Hey for $2.50 on eBay I'll try it out. It doesn't look terrible, so if it doesn't work I basically have one of those "Livestrong" bracelets with magnets in it. If it's good enough for Trevor it's good enough for me :grin:
