Guest guest Posted December 1, 2000 Report Share Posted December 1, 2000 I wanted to thank everyone for their responses to my magnet therapy question. A couple of people came to my work place and gave a seminar about magnet therapy. It turned out to be a big sales pitch. The brand they were selling, Nikken, is very expensive. I've been surfing the web and ebay so that I might find a cheaper alternative. Thanks again. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2000 Report Share Posted December 4, 2000 Beth, I'm really behind on messages. What kind of magnet therapy were they pitching? My parents put magnets (cheap hardware store variety) at the foot of their bed for years and swore by them. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2000 Report Share Posted December 4, 2000 What size magnet did they use and exactly how did they set them up? Could you ask them for me PLEASE? Thanx Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2000 Report Share Posted December 4, 2000 Barb, All kinds from a company called Nikken. It's real high priced stuff. After the positive responses I got I did a search on the web and found some cheaper alternatives. I also won an auction on ebay for a magnetic massager. It should be about $20 less than what the other people wanted. I haven't received any of the items yet. I ordered a necklace, a bracelet and a ring. Can you tell I like jewelry? Hopefully they will work. If not, at least I tried. Then maybe on to ebay! Thanks for your help. Beth Beth, I'm really behind on messages. What kind of magnet therapy were they pitching?

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2000 Report Share Posted December 4, 2000 Pat, They didn't go into that with me. They tried to sell me a massager, neck brace and insoles. Sorry Beth What size magnet did they use and exactly how did they set them up? Could you ask them for me PLEASE? Thanx Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2000 Report Share Posted December 4, 2000 I think I would put the magnets on DH and myself rather than the foot of the bed as it would be more of a benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2000 Report Share Posted December 5, 2000 My mom used to be in a home based business (like Tupperware, Avon, etc ) that sold all sorts of homeopathic type devices including magnetic bracelets, massaging car seat covers, special pillows, magnetic sheets that you put under your mattress, inserts for your shoes etc She swore by it .. but she had so much magnetic energy surrounding her lol I could never tell where north was Lyssa Re: Re: OT Magnet therapy Beth, I'm really behind on messages.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2000 Report Share Posted December 5, 2000 My mom emailed me back it was Nikken that she had a financial interest in a few years ago but she found it very expensive and couldn't keep her business going from home so she ended up using most of the stock herself ha ha but she said it worked great but there were alot of comparable less expensive items out there on the market.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2000 Report Share Posted December 5, 2000 I ended up finding a place on the web that was much cheaper. I bought a bracelet, a ring and a necklace. I just got them yesterday. The bracelet needs to be taken to a jeweler as it is too big. I like the ring. I'm not sure about the necklace. It looks nice but it is very heavy around my neck. Nikken makes one that is much lighter but $100 more. They retail for $150. They have one on ebay that's around $84 with another day to go. I'm not even sure if it works yet. The guy that was doing the selling was a podiatrist. He was doing this on the side to make up for managed care eating into his profits. I didn't trust this guy at all. Too high sell. I could see dollar signs in his eyes! Your mom doesn't have any leftover necklaces does she?
