Magnet therapy

Any believers/users here? A Tennant left behind a like new magnetic mattress pad under the mattress he left and he's long gone. . A couple inches thick and quite heavy, I guess because of the magnets. Hooey? Chuck it? Try it? Give it away? I know nothing on the subject but admit I'm a skeptic of all miracle health aids

Well. The tenant seems to have been a true believer...

Remove all your piercings before getting in bed.

Wasn't aware my chakras could be out of whack. Maybe I'll sleep on it...pun intended
BTW, WTF is a Chakra?

Beats the crap outta me. Figured it sounded like something a magnet using person would say.

Yea, a MRI is totally harmless to humans without a metal necklace, or other pieces of iron on them. Millions of times more magnetic power than a mattress.

I was drawn to it at first, and then I thought it's not a good idea to mess with your body's magnet fields.

Dunno about the magnets, but I’d hesitate to sleep on anything a tenant left behind!

I remember a conversation with the tenant years ago. Nice enough guy but definitely a bit off. Conspiracy theorist big time. He told me both W and H Bush and Donald Trump were actually reptilian aliens in disguise. I'm either throwing the magic mattress out or using it to cover my motorcycle. It's about the right size and it certainly won't blow off in the wind!

Grandma got one, but goofed and put it on the bed backwards.

I'll be careful when I cover my bike with it. I don't want to zig when I'm trying to zag

I'm actually not super keen on almost anyone else's beds/mattresses. I try not to think about it in hotels, and family is reasonably OK.

depends on how i'm positioned at the time.

sometimes, I'm repelled by the idea. Then i turn around and then I'm strangely attracted to the concept.

If you wear a mechanical watch, keep it away from that thing.
