Anyone use them?  Do they work, or is it just a myth that these things promote good health.  I know about  diet and exercise but are these just hokus pokus?

My friend had a necklace, claimed it made people breathe better.  I thought he looked gay.

He's asking about MAGNETIC necklaces...not PEARL ones.

Sure they help. Say, I got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. You want it? Half price, today only!

My father wore one of the copper bracelets for awhile. He said it didn't do a damn thing. He suffered from arthritis of the spine though. My grandfather suffered frrom the same thing.
Luckily I've been spared that fate. My brother a year younger has it though.

Can't wait to see this in one of his action figure shows.  I'm sure he's going to be working on this already.

I've heard they work but I highly doubt the healing power of magnets.

They sound like a crock to me.  I would never buy one.

If the person believes it will work then it might, just mind over matter.
The bracelet itself has no effect on the body. If they did not know that
they were wearing it or why then the pain then it would be of no use.
Doctors have given some patients nothing more that sugar pills and people
have had the pain and problems subside.

Hocus pocus. Go to your doctor and ask him which one he recommends. Magnets have been used by snake oil salesmen since there were snake oil salesmen over 100 years ago.

Magnetic bracelets are complete and total hagwash, and bear absolutely no scientific credibility whatsoever.

Copper bracelets and crystals, however ...

It's interesting to see so many pro ballplayers buy into this stuff.

But no one ever equated money to brains.

I knew a guy who had siezures a lot, and he wore a head band with very powerful magnets in it.  I guess it worked.  Other than that I think magnets on bracelets is complete BS.

How do we know it was the magnet and not the power of his mind?

If you spend $20, or even $5, for a gadget that deep down you know can't possibly work, are you going to admit that?

It ain't even hocus pocus, because at leas that creates an illusion that something happened.

I have magnets in my shoes and they enable me to fly.I have a magnetic cock ring I wear and now have a 22" long penis.I keep my razor blade (been using the same one for 27 years) under a copper pyramid on a magnet and it sharpens it while I sleep.I have copper braclets that give me the strength of 25 men.I have a tin foil helmet that protects me from government mind control beams.I am a shaven,flying super pimp..........and I owe it all to the strange powers in magnets,copper and tinfoil.[

I've been playing around 1.5-3 Tesla magnets for the past seven years with no positive or ill effects .... if you buy into that magnet therapy stuff, I think I have a bridge to sell you.
