Hi ! I'm addressng the magnet question raised by Stephanie and Janet.. Almost every catalog that clogs my mailbox advertises magnet appliances. ,.. generally considered part of <alternative medicine>.. I put a search through Grateful Med and came up with very little documentation...mostly dental oriented. However, if there is some background verifying the therapeutic efficacy,,I'll buy the industry out..Why ? ..something for my back,,,something for my shoulders...for my knees..etc. There's an old Italian proverb that goes something like this <La Vecchia e Catastrophe !>... old age is a curse?? Then there's another little poem which says <age is like fine lace ...> Janet probably can quote it. (Forgive the digression; it's saturday ) [log in to unmask] (Mary Manfredi) fourscore plus
