This week saw the publication in Archives of Physical Medicine* of a truly historic research study! While many other countries around the world already accept the use of magnets for health reasons, this historic study is the first of its type, scope, and credibility in North America...

...and it reveals that static magnets of a particular design can have a profound, beneficial effect on a person's health!

Neurologist Dr. Michael Weintraub (New York Medical College Department of Neurology and Medicine) led a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving nearly 400 persons. This is the same strict protocol used in drug studies and the kind of research required to get the attention of the Western and European medical community. This is a wake up call!

The specific condition being treated was diabetic peripheral neuropathy, the result of damaged nerves. This condition affects the feet of roughly half of the 16 million diabetics in the United States alone. Symptoms can include muscle weakness, prickling, tingling, burning, aching, or sharp jabs of pain. It can even lead to amputation!

The report concludes "the present study provides convincing data confirming that the constant wearing of static, permanent, magnetic insoles produces statistically significant reduction of neuropathic pain." Dr. Weintraub also concludes that magnetic therapy is non-invasive, less expensive, has no side effects and produces results that are "comparable or superior to that observed with various conventional drugs."

Read that again: Superior results with no side effects! This is life-changing information for millions of people!

What is even more exciting is that the results suggest that magnetic therapy may be useful for other types of neuropathy in other parts of the body, not just diabetic neuropathy. It also lends credibility to the many thousands of anecdotal reports regarding magnets and other energy therapies. Since last year, I've worn a pair myself (made by the same company) and credit them with my improved energy levels.

Dr. Weintraub offered the following caveat: "Not all magnets are created equal! It's only a certain kind of bipolar magnetic insole that seems to help enough to make a difference."
