Title: magnet & hematite therapy
Post by clusterkat on Jun 13^th, 2005, 4:29pm

i am currently tryin anything for relief & this could be old or new news to the group but either by coincidence or it really works.
my migrane doc told me about wearing hematite & magnets for cluster treatment, your suppose to wear it on the side of the body that has the pain, ive been wearing a bracelet on my right wrist for a week now & had some painfree days, the cycle has been broken, this one lasted for a month.
ive been @ my southern-girl wits end for some tempory relief as i plan my wedding, moving into a new town house & a honeymoon in savannah, so yeah, im a bit stressed. ive read post in the group about magnets but not the combined therapy. anyone eles tried this?
(smiles painlessly for now)

Kind of like the trial medicine studies....even some patients get relief with placebos.

Sorry - but it's all witchdoctor alternative crap. I certainly hope it wasn't a certified MD and Neurologist that prescribed that!

However - if your mind believes it enough to give you relief, that's what's important.

PF Wishes,

Kris

Just my opinion........purely coincidental.

Hematite, also known as iron oxide, or rust, and magnets together? Why not just get magnetic hematite? You’ll probably still have clusters but at least you’ll look fashionable while you’re in pain. ;;D

I tried magnets and it did nothing for me. Sorry. Glad your cycle broke. Probably coincidence.

I ran to the fridge.

I pulled off my "This Car Climbed Mt. Washington" magnet.

Slammed it on my forhead.

Nothin.

Magnets for CH? Gimme a break.

Hey, that magnet belongs on your car! Did your fridge climb Mt. Washington??

Yup. Needed more ice.

Addiction is not pretty.
