"but a truly savvy person waits for experience as a basis for an opinion"

That's my problem with most of these "alternative" therapies, it is based on some guy's personal experience or opinion.   I just don't trust people enough to make those kind of decisions for me, so i rely on facts and proof instead.

My own sister hocks garbage products like this via the "Market America" program.   (multi-level marketing)   They have all kinds of potions and devices that they claim to cure everything from Headaches to Alzheimers to Cancer, and people buy it up like hotcakes.   [They intentionally market to people who are very religious, I'll let you figure out why they consider those people the best targets, er, customers.]    By the way they back up their claims with a bunch of "scientific" studies too, and make sure they add in a bunch of technical terms that the average joe  is impressed by.

As far as magnet-therapy, have you ever heard of the "placebo effect" Jaguar?
