Thanks for the suggestion. My wife put one in, but she wasn't sure if it 
should be head-up or head-down and which way it should face. It went in 
upside down. So it's probably having a negative effect. 

Anyway, these things, like homeopathy and magnet therapy and so forth, 
only work if you believe them, because believers will cherry-pick the 
evidence to support their case. Sort of like the current administration.

But thank for the suggestion!
