The power of the "placebo effect" is awesome to watch in action. It proves that you can make people think a sugar pill IS a cure for cancer or magnets will do great things in a mattress pad. 1 posts, read 12,755 times 1 posts, read 12,266 times 1 posts, read 7,598 times
I do realize that this is a post 4 years after the OP was originally asking their question and the issue is probably long since handled... But I do have to ask regarding the concept of magnet therapies in general (as I'm curiously looking over information regarding them having just bought an air purifier from Nikken...), whether things like the insoles really made that huge a difference? If so, that is an amazingly effective product... Basically, the insoles stopped callouses from forming, as you say (so they somehow managed to stop friction from occurring) and they stopped aching feet where you had spent loads of money on other things just to have them not work... So, did you try using the insoles with the magnets removed to see if it was just the insoles that did the trick? It sounds like you have gone through many different products looking for relief. For products which in the end didn't work, and only lead you on to try other products in search of relief, did you also write glowing reviews at the time you had freshly spent money on them...?
I mean, did you regularly have periods where you THOUGHT some product was working miraculously, only to find that in the end it didn't... And off you were in search of something else to have the effects you sought, only to again write a review that the next product you spent X hundred dollars on did the trick... While months later you were on to the next thing? These are serious questions. I'm not trying to patronize. I'm trying to truly determine what actual benefits ppl who swear by these things are getting, and what trouble they went to in order to isolate the magnets themselves in order to determine that THEY were creating a benefit... rather than the 'packaging" the magnets came in (ie. insoles, a mattress, a bracelet, etc.) If magnets truly are having these kinds of amazing health effects... or were actually capable of them, this is a huge deal. And no, effects and results as powerful as some of those described are far to meaningful and represent far too great a change in health, represent far too much physiological effect for them to be something that "work on one person and not the next"...
Anything that has that powerful an effect will have that effect on every living person to some degree. Something that has the power to stop the formation of callouses (which are something your body creates to protect your skin from friction) would likewise have that effect, to some degree or another, on any biological organism utilizes the device in exactly the same way. That is how physiology works. The degree to which the action worked might differ, but it would be present in everyone, or it would simply be something imagined. So, can more ppl plz give some info regarding this? Its fascinating, and as you can see... the skeptic in me is kicking in, but I would like to combat that with more info. I don't mind naturally being skeptical as it saves me a LOT of wasted money... but it can also cause me to pass up some very amazing things in life.I do just have to say to everyone... PLZ check the posting date on posts before responding to time sensitive posts. If it was 4 years ago, chances are the issue has long since been handled.

Click to Contact Us For DetailsHome > Pain Relief & General Health > Magnet Therapy > Magnetic Mattress PadsQuantity: Choose StyleItem DescriptionItem ReviewsOur made-in-the-USA Magnet Therapy Mattress Pads contain powerful Grade 8 ceramic ferrite magnets (there isn't a grade 9!)Each has a gauss rating of 3650 - 3950 per magnet with a surface output of 1500-2000). The quilted, comfortable mattress pad fits on top of your mattress and under your fitted sheet to project a north-pole field along your entire body.
Standard pads are fitted with a 1" thick pad, while our Mega pads are fitted with a 2" thick pad, and each disc-shaped magnet is 3/4" diameter.Unlike all other shapes, magnetic discs create the purest most effective magnetic field, resulting in the most value and best coverage area.Magnetic lines of flux radiate in a curved shape. In square or rectangular magnets, the curved flux lines are disrupted, thereby reducing the magnetic force. These other shapes can be large, heavy magnets that look impressive but yield less magnetic force than an equal weight disc magnet. Using disc magnets allows us to make a lighter, stronger magnetic pad. Through our construction, we keep the magnets as close to the body as possible for maximum performance and all magnets are orientated Bio-North (negative) facing the body.For those looking to ease the symptoms of fibromyalgia, arthritis, back pain, allergies and PMS, this magnetic mattress pad is a great fit. The north-facing magnets can produce a calming and relaxing effect on the nerves and muscles, helping you to find relief and get a better night�s sleep.
