This review is from: Pain-Free with Magnet Therapy: Discover How Magnets Can Help Relieve Arthritis, Sports Injuries, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Pain (Paperback)

Pain-free with Magnet Therapy is an excellent introduction to the field of magnet therapy. This book is a good starting point for anyone who wants to use magnets to treat a health condition: use it to sort out fact from fiction when it comes to assessing the claims of magnet manufacturers and salespeople. Lara Owen has done a great deal of research and in this book describes in plain English what science knows about magnets and what they can and cannot do. Yet Owen does not exclude the tantalizing possibilities that haven't yet been researched but are suggested by the stories of people who have tried magnets.

The book is also interesting because Owen explores the idea that as we come to understand magnet therapy better, we'll gain clues needed to understand other mysterious therapies: acupuncture, homeopathy, reflexology and similar medical systems that rely on energetic, rather than biochemical, intervention.

After reading this book, I can unreservedly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to work with magnets for pain relief and self-healing with knowledge and confidence.
