According to Legend, Cleopatra wore a magnetic amulet on her forehead to preserve her youth; this placement put it near the brain’s magnetically sensitive pineal gland.

Healing therapies claimed that through Magnet therapy, it's possible to preserve youth and Cleopatra achieved that already. Is there any studies conducted on preserving your youth using magnet?

  • quack sites as ways to give notability to a strange and dubious claim about a historic person surrounded in myth. Interesting... – jwenting May 17 '13 at 11:07

    "According to Legend..." means nothing unless the source is cited. – Alasdair May 25 '13 at 12:04

I didn't found any study regarding the "youth preserving effect" of magnets, but in general :

there isn't any proof that Magnetotherapy is better than a placebo.

Most of the many testimonials to the effectiveness of magnetic therapy devices can be attributed to placebo effects and to other effects accompanying their use.

from magnetic therapy plausible attraction/

and wikipedia
