You may be asking, "So what is Magnetic Therapy anyway?? Why don't I just slap a couple of my refrigerator magnets on my wrist & call it therapy?" Through our extensive research and personal experience we have found the answers to those questions - and a lot more - for you!
Dr. Michael Weintraub, a neurologist who specializes in pain management was intrigued by the anecdotal success stories that his patients were reporting with magnetic products.
Weintraub conducted double-blind, placebo-controlled medical study to determine how magnets work in reducing Symptomatic Diabetic Neuropathy pain with Nikken insoles. [The study results were published in Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Magazine, Vol.84 in May 2003.]
Foot care is important for those with poor circulation to the foot (peripheral vascular disease). Our own friend Nancy has seen amazing success after she developed peripheral neuropathy as a side effect from her chemotherapy!
Watch this exciting video featuring Weintraub, as well as several news reports documenting the results of his study!
