DA-2 & DA-6 Direct Magnetic Applicators
Universal Magnetic Tennis Elbow Support
Letter from former Houston Oilers
Quarterback Dan Pastorini 
"I do want to thank you for the knee and elbow sleeves. Prior to using them I have had tremendous pain, especially in my knee. From day one, I have been able to do more than I have in years since my retirement. Your MTT sleeves are great and they have passed the Pastorini Test. Thank you for your help in regaining some of my youth."
Sincerely,
Dan Pastorini

Using magnets as pain therapy for alternative health purposes and other forms of homeopathy goes back to ancient China. How does magnetic therapy work, if indeed it does? To put it as simply as possible, when negative magnetic energy is applied to a pain-ridden area, it stimulates the body to increase the flow of blood and oxygen to the area, which thereby relieves the pain. Magnets for pain relief and other alternative health purposes is not approved by the United States Federal Food and Drug Administration, but neither have they been banned. Former Houston Oilers quarterback and football star Dan Pastorini and his former coach, Bum Phillips, have been using magnets for pain relief for quite some time now. The magnet therapy industry just cannot claim proven therapeutic value, because there is no hard science that says magnets relieve pain. Professional golfer Jim Colbert strapped magnets onto his back, put magnetized insoles in his shoes. And what happened? With a final-round 67 in a Florida senior tour event, he came from eight shots off the lead to finish one off the winning score. Colbert has been wearing magnets ever since, and has won well over $5 million, 11 tournaments and consecutive Senior PGA Tour player-of-the-year awards (1995-96). Magnet therapy is widely used on the senior circuit, but it is also being used by juniors, and by players on the PGA and Ladies Professional Golf Association tours. John Huston, who set a PGA Tour scoring record while winning this year's Hawaiian Open (28 under par), travels with a mattress cover loaded with 265 magnets. Donna Andrews used magnets to alleviate a back problem that was seriously curtailing her career. Another LPGA star, Michelle McGann, a diabetic with circulation problems in her feet, claims she has been helped considerably through the use of magnetic insoles. No one claims magnets cure, only that they reduce, if not entirely eliminate, pain. For that reason, proponents say they should be worn all the time. After all, one cannot overdose on magnetic energy, according to Dr. Alvin Bakst, the onetime chief of heart surgery at New York City's Flower-Fifth Avenue Hospital, who is now in the magnet therapy business in Palm Springs.That's because man over the past 50,000 years has become acclimated to magnetism through day to day living on earth, which is a huge magnetic ball," Bakst said. "Fifteen years ago, when it was suggested you could use a magnetic field to diagnose illness within the body, the notion was pooh-poohed. It became MRI," Bakst said, referring to magnetic resonance imaging exams, "now the most effective diagnostic tool in medicine." Magnets should not be used by people with a pacemaker, or surgically implanted metal pins or screws, he added. They are also not recommended for pregnant women. Those who do wear them should beware they might affect (knock out) your cell phone and television set. Magnets are man-made, with either a ceramic or neodymium housing. The latter are considered the best, and come from mainland China. In any casing, the magnetic energy can be controlled as to its positive and negative charge, and the amount of each, which is called a Gauss rating. The higher the Gauss, the stronger the magnet. Negative energy is considered the most effective for pain relief, and if one is using a bipolar magnet (positive on one side, negative on the other), the negative side should be touching the body. They come in many forms -- wrist bracelets, insoles, chair pads, leg, knee, shoulder, elbow and back wraps and dime-sized magnets "dots" to place on small targets such as a finger or toe. The most prominent argument for magnetic-pain therapy is the elimination or deep reduction in the use of painkiller drugs. "Magnetism is still not accepted for the treatment of illness," Bakst said, "but that's what is coming next."
