Stop snoring with magnets

We’ve already seen what could happen if you implant a magnet under the skin.

But it looks like there could be a practical application for magnet implants after all.

It hasn't been tried on people yet (stay tuned) but implanting a magnet or two in animals has proved a success. No word on what animals suffer from snoring though... Giant sloths? Hibernating bears?

The magnets are implanted with like poles facing. The force keeps the respiratory passage open.

Presumably those who have this treatment will need to be careful when dining with steel utensils.

There's more about it here.
