Some years ago a fellow sold a piece of equipment that healed everything. It was , as I remember called Orgon. It was a box containing colored lights. You sat in the box with the lights on and it was supposed to cure just about any of the diseases of mankind. Eventually Uncle Sam caught up to the guy and put him out of business. The Orgon and the magnet thing are in the same boat - a scam. Please don't be a sucker and fall for this sort of thing.
