In case anyone is interested in further researching the Mikken magnetic therapy, you might try the Holistic e-mail discussion list at the following: [log in to unmask] If you get on there, and do a search of the archive log files for the past month or two, you should be able to find alot of info and discussion regarding these products and the therapy in general. Personally, although I'm becoming a big proponent of mixing alternative with conventional therapies, magnetic therapy just doesn't seem to me to be a useful/effective therapy, and I personally feel reducing one's emf exposure, rather than adding to it, to be prudent. Years ago people in Russia also took "radiation baths" believing them to be therapeutic. Perhaps this therapy could help balance out/neutralize all the other emf's we receive from other sources (TV, radio, microwave, computer....), but other ways of balancing one's energy (Tai Chi, yoga, acupuncture, etc.) I think would be a little less risky. That's just my personal opinion, and if anyone has better information on magnetic therapy, my mind is wide open. Wendy Tebay
