Mara, Several years ago I tried a magnetic pad for my son to sleep on. It wasn't that expensive, is there such a thing as a " cheap " magnet? Maybe it was because it was small and designed for under a pillow, don't know. Anyway, it was strange, he had several, really good nights sleep on it and then one morning I found it on the floor next to his bed. Thinking it was just an accident, I replaced it the next night. The next few nights he continually sought it out and threw it on the floor. I then tried hiding it under the sheet and mattress pad - he still found it and threw it out! At the time, he wasn't verbal enough to explain to me why he didn't like it, but clearly it wasn't workin' for him. I gave up on it. Maybe I should have tried to sleep on it myself to see what all the fuss was about. Anyway, that was my first (and last) experience with magnets. Hope this helps, in Atlanta.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hi , I really appreciate the feedback from you and Dr. JM. The other email list that was discussing the magentic sleep pads didn't seem too impressed either. I called and cancelled my order with Magnetico this a.m. To their credit, they were very nice about it. The other reason I decided to cancel the order is that we are seeing good results with TD-DMPS and I think we just need to be patient and focus on our current protocol which is TD-DMPS every other day from AMT pharmacy, and of course the quintet and GFCF. Thanks again for writing, Mara in San , Our DAN Dr. is Kempf, M.D., here in SA > Mara, > Several years ago I tried a magnetic pad for my son to sleep on.
