How could magnets and accupressure treat my acoustic neuromas? I've heard of it being done, but does it work?

Magnets are not a "healing tool"!. This was proven by Benjamin Franklin a loooooong time ago, but the myth still persists!

Magnetic resonance imaging can be used to confirm the presence of a neuroma, but anyone who claims they can treat one with magnetism or accupressure is a sick charlatan who just wants your money. Shame on them!

I believe your best options are surgery or management, depending of the severity of the symptoms.

You wouldn't trust an Herbalist or a witch Doctor to fix your car, would you?

Follow your physician's recommendations!

The threory accupressure as a healing technique comes from the idea that stimulating the nerves basically distracts your body from other sensations. Magnets, although popular, do not have a lot of scientific explanation for their reported therapies. The only theiory is that the magnet attracts the iron in the blood, thus increasing the blood flow, taking away metabolites and bringing in "fresh" blood.
