Magnetic therapy finding its way into medical mainstream
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
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.
- Doctors used to dismiss magnetic therapy as ancient quackery.
- Is it possible that the magnetic therapy used by physicians in ancient Egypt to keep their young queen healthy does have a positive effect?
- Not so long ago, magnetic therapy was pretty much shunned by mainstream medicine, dismissed as ineffective and, even worse, condemned as quackery.
- Any benefits that it might have, said the sceptics, could be explained by the placebo effect: patients believed that it worked, ergo it did.
