Magnet therapy must do something

I've decided that magnet therapy must do something at least, because if you place magnets on your body it must affect your blood at least. Since your blood has iron it to transport oxygen around the body, the iron must be attracted to the magnets. So I think that magnets must be doing something to the body.

I don't think that magnet therapy is supposed to be anything to do with blood. I also don't think the iron in your blood would be attracted to a magnet or in any way be affected by a magnetic field.

I agree with Jennelle. The way that magnetic therapy works is nothing to do with the iron in your blood. In fact if your blood was subject to magnetic attraction it wouldn't circulate properly.

True what they say. The iron in your blood is bound onto proteins so it doesn't have a charge. There are many other charged molecules in the blood tho, but magnets don't work precisely by affecting their movement. The mechanisms of how magnets do what they do are very complex, personally I haven't even delved into explaining that, I good with learning the effects of both polarities.
