They make WONDERFUL placebos.
Placebos sometimes "work".
Magnets sometimes "work".

Hi there,
Many of my clients have tried magnetic or copper bracelets. Some of the them have had profound relief, and continue to wear them.
Due to it's controversial nature, the subject is not well researched. There is no mechanism that we can use to explain exactly how or why these devices work.
All we know is that for some people, they do. Give it a try! The worst that can happen is that it does nothing.

We used to sell magnet jewelry and got some pretty impressive results with some of our customers. Magnet Therapy by Lawrence and Rosch is a very good book on the subject. A web search for magnet products will yield a ton of sources.
Good luck!

On me, the magnets worked for almost two weeks. Mine weren't bracelets; they went into my shoes to help my feet -- and they did help, for nearly two weeks. Then my body apparently got used to them and they had no more effect. I wondered if I'd worn them out, but was told that's impossible. My body just got used to them and adapted. Oh, well.
If you wear magnetic bracelets and work around a computer, take off your bracelets and stow them someplace safely away from the computer. Your tech support folks will thank you!

I tried them without any difference.
I bought magnetic sole inserts for my Dad & he swore by them, but I also got him some nutritional joint formula, too...so we never figured out which one was the one effecting change.

Yeah, I tried them, but the only result was that I now have a magnetic personalilty, and I only attract heavy metal type friends.

They gave me a magnetic personality.

Yes, and they work brilliantly. I also use one on my lower back, and I sleep on one, it has stopped the snoring, my daughter is so grateful, I am female.
Now my mother is making magnetic collars for the dogs in New Zealand.

I think they helped chronic arthritic pain in my ankle.
