Just wondering if anyone saw the article in the "sun" newspaper on saturday about the man who stuck 2 2p's into his shoes and now he is saying he is cured of Arthritis.
Well since Saturday I have been walking around with these 2p's in my shoes :)
Anything is worth a try right ? you do forget they are there after a while, but the other day put my shoes on without socks, and when I took them off the coins were stuck to me feet, so don't try this without socks on :lol: x

    Hello pepperflo,
    I saw it and it made me laugh too. I have terribly arthritic feet and the thought of standing on 2p coins.. no thanks.
    Years ago I was told if I put an onion in a sock and put in in the bed it would cure me of my arthritis! but then my hubby (who lost his hair years ago) was told if a cow licked his head his hair would grow back....
    These tales are all great but I don't think very practical, however a good chuckle is always appreciated.

    I just found out that the new 2p's are no good as they dont carry as much copper in them as the old ones. To test if it a new one try picking it up with a magnet the old ones you cant the new ones you can because theres less copper in them and more nickle.

    The reason they are doing this is, because copper is getting very expensive.

    A not very interesting topic but thought I would put it down :lol::lol::lol:

    As a result of this article the copper insole manufacturers stuck ads the papers last week-end, as usual they promised the world but only with words such as 'may' and 'could'. I maintain that these things work for those who don't have arthritis, just the aches etc associated with ageing. My late FIL wore a copper bangle which he was unable to remove due his joint distortion. DD

    why dont we all go to the shops that sell old coins and buy some really worn old pennies???
    that would not cost a lot and we could buy a few and stick them all over our bodies and lol & behold, we could then all go on tv saying we were cured.

    makes sense doesnt it? .......well i think so anyhow :lol::lol::lol::lol:
