February 6, 2009, Newsletter Issue #152: The effectiveness of magnetic mattress pads

Tip of the Week

Magnet therapy is a relatively recent trend in alternative medicine in which magnets and magnetic fields are applied to the body in order to treat illness or improve health. Magnetic mattress pads claim to radiate a soothing sleep field that may help improve circulation and increase the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream. The only problem is that magnetic therapy has not been shown to relieve any form of illness. Moreover, there can be problems for people who have medical devices or implants with a magnetic field, such as pacemakers. These people should not use magnet therapy because it could interfere with the function of the implant.
