    I wore a copper bracelet for a while but all it did was send my wrist green :shock: :wink:

    Hi chrisov

    Just looked them up on the net and they are not expensive. No idea if they would help in any way though. Only way to find out is to try them, I suppose.

    Hope you going along ok,
    Luv

    Hi,

    I got taken in by the ad for these copper innersoles a couple of years ago ( you feel so desperate sometimes that anything is worth a try!) However they were very heavy and uncomfortable and no benefit at all to me.

    I tried the magnetic bracelets, got green from the copper aliment and burns from the round battery parts obviously I was allergic to these but could never get a straight answer to the composition. I am now wary. Linda

    Hi Noleltone,
    I haven't tried the insoles of copper but did have the pair of magnet and copper insoles. They weren't megga money but bar an electric set of clippers they were the most disaponting thing I bought! (uumm...I really must get a life!) They also are uncomfortable as ell, akin to walking on gravel!
    I have got some old dogs and one is really in a bad way with OA, 2 are but 1 is really bad, and in desperation I got her a bio-flow collar and she passed the vet review 2 weeks later, they had her penciled in for a PTS! They do human ones, though I don't think they go round your neck! The dog ones have to line up with the corotted artery so I borrowed her's for a couple of hours and it genuinly seemed to help. It could have been as it was so tight it was quietly cutting off the blood supply........ I went very light headed and the spasamed up muscle that I have real problems with did for a short time relax! I haven't borrowed it since as she really needs help.
    Bio-flow is just the one I got her but there are other makes, they aren't epecially cheep depending on income of couse. The sceptic in me says it can't work and yet my dog is deffenetly a lot better. I sometimes think I may just get a few magnets and make then into a necklace.......... :?: :!: :D Take care
