Summary
Magnetic therapy, popular among the doctors of ancient Egypt, has long been dismissed by modern physicians as a form of quackery. But now some 21st Century know-it-alls are starting to rethink their skepticism. Recent studies suggest that magnets may, indeed, be effective in the treatment of epilepsy and depression. And they seem to sometimes even make wounds heal faster.
