Attn bromelain ?- magnets and esophegeal spasms

by terrybear, Jul 17, 2001 12:00AM
This is the second time I've heard this, and I had a magnet given to me by the first.  How & where do you position, time on for an infant body 16lbs(It is 1.5 inches around, large enough to be a whole body magnet for a baby I'm told).  He has GERD & esophegitis (irritation), vomits under stress, and has a spasm/shudder with his reflux occassionally ( He's improving greatly with Zantac, 3 weeks now since diagnosis).  I'd like to try a magnet when he's upset, perhaps to quiet the spasm & prevent vomit.  Can you offer suggestions?
