Magnets probably won't kill you, but if I had an illness, I would prefer a treatment that has been shown to be effective by more than some testimonials. Pencillin has saved a lot of lives, but it has ended quite a few (the ones allergic). If I had bacterial pneumonia, however, I would rather take Penicillin than, say, feverfew.
