It isn't ignorance itself that angers me. It's the ignorant people who spout off at the mouth in a condescending way that I would like to throttle. Example, my daughter has diabetes, has had it since she was 5 years old. I hate for people to learn that, because I get alot of responses like "My God! That young? Exactly what did you feed that poor child?!" WTF? Her diabetes was not caused by food she ate. Diabetes is an auto-immune disease...bla bla bla...edited and shortened...no matter what I say, at least half the people walk away with smug looks on their faces, not believing a word I said.

As far as the magnets, it's entirely possible it works for some people for the same reason some 'faith healers' work...because the 'patient' believes it will work, and the mind is a powerful thing. Maybe it won't cure diabetes, but blocking pain could be another matter. Just my thought.
