out of curiousity, how do you know magnetic therapy doesn't work? have studies been done? i've always assumed it was new-age mumbo-jumbo, but never looked into it.

Well, for one thing, this just isn't how magnets work. I guess belief in this sort of thing stems from the widespread ignorance about 'energy' - as in 'healing energy'...there simply ain't no such thing. Here's a good summary:
Magnet Therapy: A Skeptical View
While on the one hand I agree with those here who say 'live and let live', and 'calm down, dude', on the other, the almost willfull ignorance of people *does* affect me - these people vote, for crying out loud.
Anyway.
