Per Minnesota's Mayo Clinic: ROCHESTER, Minn. -- "Magnetic shoe insoles did not effectively relieve foot pain among patients in a study, researchers report in the current issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. And the results indicate that patients who strongly believed in magnets had pain relief even if theywere given false magnets to wear."

Sounds like the placebo effect.

Rule of thumb for magnets is keep them 6" from our device.

I have no idea why you'd put a pacemaker in your shoe, but Crystal's in your hat are just as effective and are guaranteed to not affect your pacemaker.

After reading your recommendation I've tried repeatedly but cannot get my feet 6 inches from my CRT, in fact they are 6 feet away. Should I be worried? Will I still be able to dance?

I wasn't really self-conscious about it. I didn't even know I had one until around six or seven years old. I just thought I had a rock in my side.
