A lot of people claim that the only thing that works about magnetic therapy is the placebo effect it has. Many of those people use that basis to claim that is part of the reason why it is not beneficial to maintaining health. Those people are wrong. If you think about it, placebo effects are essentially the same thing as whatever it is you are trying to achieve actually happening in the first place. The placebo effect occurs with the simple power of suggestion. A patients symptoms are relieved or otherwise altered through the use of medication (external or internal remedies) that are not truly intended to relieve or alter said symptoms in any way. If a person takes a sugar pill, and is convinced it was a pain reliever for tension headaches, their headache would go away...even though the pill was nothing more than sugar.

I am not saying that because of this cause magnetic therapy does not work, on the contrary, I believe in it whole heartedly. I am saying this because those naysayers out there who claim magnetic therapy is nothing more than the placebo effect and then claim that it therefore 'does not work' or is somehow beneficial to maintaining health are foolish. The placebo effect is in essence a medicine that is beneficial in and of itself. If the placebo effect has been proven to cure or alleviate symptoms regardless of whether or not scientifically proven medications were administered, it is beneficial to maintaining health. Even if magnetic therapy is nothing more than the very persuasive power of suggestion, and all the pain relief that the believers feel is simple placebo...it has still worked and has still served its purpose.

Most of the research I have done has indicated or shown when to and when to not believe whatever I am being told. If you do personal research you will find page upon page that claims there is no scientific evidence to back the belief in magnetic therapy. Then again, you will also find page upon page that indicates there is loads of scientific evidence that shows magnetic therapy may have some benefits after all. It is all in what you think you want magnetic therapy for. There is no scientific evidence to support that magnetic therapy in any way cures cancer. Some people claim there is no evidence to back the idea that it has any effect on blood circulation, but I have found pages on information that say otherwise. There is evidence to support the fact that your body is surrounded by an electromagnetic field and that
