"gravitates"? My dogs fight over any new blanket
with enthusiasm -- for a day or two.

Mel calls for scientific research into the effectiveness
of magnetic pads, but I don't really think that is
necessary. I have already observed enough to
announce with confidence that magnetic pads are
downright dangerous and people should avoid magnetic
fields at all costs.
My data is based on observation of my step-daughter's
experience with a magnetic mattress that a well-meaning
friend conned her into using last year. She slept on this
lumpy, uncomfortable bed of magnets for six months,
and it caused her Multiple Sclerosis to get ten times
worse. She went from walking to forearm crutches
to a wheelchair.
Soon after returning the magnetic mattress to its
owner, she began to recover, and now ambulates
with only a cane again. So it is abundantly clear
that the magnets caused her deterioration, and no
further research is necessary.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

treatments during the same year. (;-)
