About this title

Review:

In general it's hard to trust books that focus on a single nutritional supplement or alternative-medicine therapy; the words breakthrough or miracle in a title are almost red flags saying, "Warning! No objectivity here!" There's no objectivity in The Pain Relief Breakthrough either, but for those interested in magnet therapy--the use of magnets to relieve localized pain--it doesn't matter. This is one of those therapies that have been practiced for centuries and defy any logical or medically sound explanation for how or why they work yet manage to make an impression on many of those who try them. Long rosters of professional athletes swear by magnet therapy. Julian Whitaker acknowledges that it is nearly impossible to prove that magnets work to relieve pain; he just earnestly believes that they do. The Pain Relief Breakthrough, then, gives a road map to those who want to try it. Whitaker and coauthor Brenda Adderly explain the history of magnet therapy, the different ways to use magnets, and how to combine magnet therapy with sound exercise and nutritional principles for a total wellness program.
