Copper and Magnets to Combat Pain

If it works, . . .

I will try anything once. If it works, fine. If it does not, at least I will know. The best way to find out if a remedy has merit is to test it out, and if I can find a way of doing that without spending too much money on it, I am game. Here are a couple of remedies which I tested recently.

Copper Bracelets

Half my life, I have seen magazine ads for copper bracelets to relieve pain, especially from arthritis. When I found a heavy copper chain bracelet at a secondhand store for $4.00, I started wearing it on my right wrist. I have permanent damage in that wrist and hand, because it got jammed in a rear end collision. I was clutching the steering wheel when I was hit. For the first time since the accident, my wrist and hand were free of pain. This summer, however, I got a bad case of poison ivy on that same forearm and I had to cover the poison ivy blisters with wet clay. I therefore switched the bracelet to my left wrist. The result? The pain returned in all its fury, except that I had no idea why the pain had returned. It took a while before I put 2 and 2 together. As soon as the poison ivy blisters dried up, I switched the bracelet back to my right wrist. The relief was almost instantaneous. Within the hour, the pain was gone, even when I dug my fingers into the sorest spot. A few days before that, I would have screamed in agony. To me, that is sufficient evidence to convince me that copper relieves pain. I do not know what it does to arthritis, because I have no way of testing it. It seems reasonable to assume, though, that is would relieve the arthritis pain as well.

Magnetic Insoles

It must have been my lucky day, when I found a pair of magnetic insoles at a rummage sale. They were still in their original unopened package, and I paid all of a Canadian quarter for them. And they were my size. Great! A pair of rubber insoles with lots of little magnets placed in them. I tried them out in shoes which were a little on the big side, and that whole day, I seemed to be walking on air. I must admit, that I have inherited my mother's well-built feet and legs and can easily be on my feet all day every day without my feet getting tired. Hiking and climbing for days on end have been a family passion for those in my family who have the same heritage. Seeing that my feet feel good to begin with, I can hardly describe what they feel like with magnetic insoles.
