Long back (way back when.....) there was thgis guy that did miracle cures using magnets, later he realized that he could do them himself (he believed to have absorbed some of the magnetic powers or something)...later he was banned. What people believe now is that he cured a lot of people with psychosomatic disiase....I would not take magnetic cures to seriously... > > Mark Jensen mjensen@crl.com > Good luck! -- Marco A.

An ancient Chinese method to temporarily improve myopia: one goes to sleep flat on his back, with heavy little bags filled with sand placed on his closed eyelids. After several hours of sleep (provided you have whatever training it takes to maintain this sleeping position), you wake up with temporarily flattened corneas and improved vision. 2. In Eastern Europe, magnets for medical use were patented for several conditions -- I forget which specifically, but I even own a pair of magnetic earrings which, on a number of occasions, have helped my eyestrain and related headaches. (After discovering palming I haven't used them because palming works better for this purpose.)
