Significant relief from ill advised booky betting

I looked more into the infamous report from JAMA... curiously, all I can think of saying is, hurray for beer. Anyway, the FDA approved procedure of treating "ununited" fractures with magnetic fields is something like 80% effective. At the time of the report, (1982) there had been over 1000 documented cases of success since its inception in 1979.

With the rise of global temperatures and people such as Steve-O (both, who with no doubt add to the number of fractures sustained per year), I'm sure that number has grown.

So before you go picking Mississippi Valley State over UCLA in the first round, think about picking up a magnet.

Well, it is almost Easter...

Found it!

I had previously said that I was unable to find the study about the use of magnets for the repair of ununited fractures... but all that has changed! Here it is.

Magnets proven to heal broken bones

And this one isn't even considered alternative medicine (as magnetic bracelets and the like are)! Magnets can be used by doctors to repair fractures that won't set properly. Interesting. Veeeery Interesting.

I couldn't find the article mentioning it, but I did find it cited within another site (I saw it with my sight). If any of you intrepid readers want to track it down, here's the skinny:
