Magnet therapies 'have no effect'
Well, there's a surprise-Magnet therapies which are claimed to cure conditions ranging from back pain to cancer have no proven benefits, according to a team of US researchers.
Sales of the so-called therapeutic devices, which are worn in bracelets, insoles, and wrist and knee bands, top $1 billion worldwide, they said.
But a major review showed no benefits, a British Medical Journal report said.
The team also warned self-treatment with magnets risked leaving underlying medical conditions untreated.
