Re: Troy Reeds Magnetic Healing Device

I recently purchased a mattress gadget that is purported to extend
a North polar magnetic field of approx 4000 gauss into the body.

The manufacturer made a number of health related claims re the device.
He says the field approximates the natural field of the earth as it existed
4000 years ago.. he says it takes upto 4 months to profoundly notice
effects, the gadget has a 6 month full money back guarantee. So far
it seems I have noticed some subtle effects. IT sounds like Troy's device
is similiar except likely much more effective.

>Apparently the magnetic force completely penetrates the body.

Jerry, do you know what field strength (gauss) the magenets were?
Also any idea as to how far the magnet face pointing towards tissue
was placed in inches? I'm guessing they were a ceramic type magnet
or neodymium? <sp?>

this is the same claim from the manufacturer of my mattress

yes I have heard the same thing.... I have been also taking Flanagan
Microclusters in conjunction with the mag therapy.... it could be my imagination
but I seem to experience noticable 'vitalizing' effects?

Jerry, what is a 'microwave' magnet? Never heard of such a beast?
I know that standard microwaves are supposed to be quite dangerous
to exposed, healthy tissue.... please pardon my obvious ignorance
here...

Great idea! that way you'd get the benefit without the prohibitive costs
associated with that many magnets...

Jerry does Graingers have a website?

If you ever find out where to acquire those magnets from I'd sure love
to know also, if thats ok?

Interesting post....
