It is therefore plausable that in the future an acceptable scientific theory for magnets as a form of therapy may be born. But until I see this I will continue to be skeptical.

Very true and also my feeling - when an scientifically acceptable theory is developed supporting the use of magnets then I shall stand to be corrected but please forgive me if until then I stand by my personal opinion and possible single mindedness.
I think what we all must remember is that throughout medical history ideas which had been accepted for centuries have been disproved and new ideas have taken years to become accepted - look at the 4 humours: Earth, air, fire and water. For centuries the balance of these 4 fundamental elements was considered to be what determined ones health - if yours were "unblanced" then the treatment was to "rebalance" (Does that make any sense?). There, maybe I'm wrong, maybe science is yet to unearth a new phenomenon? Maybe not? But until I see it for myself and can explain it (and yes, for those who have said "would you use bute etc without understanding how it works?" the answer is no - if it was needed I would still go away and do as much reading on it as possible so I understood just that).
Hmmm, rambling again! Don't you just love a good healthy debate!
