Please post links to the scientific articles, not PDF's.

Unfortunately the articles weren't available as public links (at least not that I could find), so I just posted the PDF's instead. Also, you are right about the third attachment (power of placebo) being just an editorial - I decided to post it since he's referencing the first article (Randomised controlled trial of magnetic bracelets for relieving pain in osteoarthritis of the hip and knee).

All of the PDF's are available as links to the original study. All you have to do is google the title.

I stand corrected. I've edited my original post to include links instead of PDF's :)
