Have you never watched ER? As an RN, I can tell you firsthand that those "silly heart (note spelling, please) DEFIBRULATOR things", get this, ACTUALLY WORK!! As any survivor of a heart attack will be more than glad to tell you, they owe their lives to the "SHOCK (to their) heart with paddles." Because, guess what, Jason? It Does "get it beating again"!
Again, I'm wondering if you're a time-traveler from the 18th or 19th century, cause we've been shocking people's hearts back into beating for many decades now.
Now, regarding the above quack-gizmo, I am extremely doubtful. The way electromagnetic stimulation works, a well-trained MD must place actual electrodes in very precise areas, so if this item ever comes out for the general market, Don't Buy It! See a Dr instead.]]>Apr 18th 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/Apr 18th 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/May 22nd 2007 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/May 22nd 2007 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/

Speaking of which I must point out a few things that bother me here:
(1.) the device claims to help do two things that while related conceptually are totally unrelated physically. How is this possible. Smells like team spirit to me.

HUMANS ARE NOT MAGNETIC. If this thing worked, whenever we were put inside an MRI our heads would explode.

Until I see some really good evidence on this thing I am going to assume it belongs Here. http://www.museumofquackery.com/]]>May 22nd 2007 9:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/In some people who are, shall we say, super-electrical or super-magnetic, an MRI session can cause a semi-permanent reversal of their cells' polarities; such that their watches will run backwards, and they can turn lights on & off just by being near them. They have to have a second session in the MRI to re-reverse the cells' polarities! Cool, huh?]]>Apr 18th 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/May 22nd 2007 10:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/May 22nd 2007 10:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/May 22nd 2007 11:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/anything by J Rothwell is very good.]]>May 23rd 2007 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/22/magnetic-brain-stimulator-touted-as-treatment-for-depression/OR Could this be a cure for Agoraphobia?]]>May 24th 2007 5:03PM
