Hey, I just heard about this ring that will help you feel less
stressed (I already am)
http://www.alexchiu.com/affiliates/...ru.cgi?id=toheq . Do you guys
think that will really work? I know a lot of people use those magnetic
bracelets and they "magically" feel better, but I'm skeptical...

They are either feeling better for other reasons (like they got a new job or
they are getting over the flu) or they think they will feel better, so they
do. So they are fooling themselves if they think the magnetic rings work.

They do work at taking money from suckers though.

I notice bogus "Skeptics" still trying to "debunk" magnet therapy. They now
then range themselves AGAINST Science. Last year, the journal Scientific
American had a cover story and article in which they broke down and documented
that there is much firm evidence for treatment with magnet therapy.

What is laughable is that kooky Selectve Skeptics (like Jeff here) will barge
in and "inform" us all that "that's just bunk stuff".

You mean this article?

Unfortunately, having a cover story on Scientific American magazine (which
is not a peer-reviewed journal) does not make something true.

Here's more info:

What makes you think that is magnetic therapy works in some cases, that the
particular magnetic rings work?
