Red J Posted December 5, 2002 Posted December 5, 2002 I used to play a lot of golf and a popular product at the time was copper bracelets to combat the imflammation of wrists and other joints. I bought one and thought that it helped me with my wrist. Well, I pulled it out of the mothballs the other day and put it back on because my shoulder joint has been stiff lately. Not knowing what to expect, I wore it for a few days and the stiffness disapeared (I had it for about 2 weeks). Has anyone else had this experience? It could be coincidence or just the power of suggestion, but it seems to work for me. After a quick search on the internet, I saw some research that attests to the anti-inflam qualities of copper, these studies mainly coming from Europe. Maybe it's all in my head or there may be something to it. What do you think? I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
KickChick Posted December 6, 2002 Posted December 6, 2002 The presence of copper in the body has been known for centuries, yet our bodys need for copper has not received the same emphasis as other popular minerals like iron and zinc. When you take into account the fact that copper is used by essentially every cell in the body, it doesn't make sense that its healing qualities have not been better received in the modern medical field. Early medical practices touched on these findings and used certain copper applications such as copper containing ointments and bracelets to treat painful joints and muscles. These medical practices have been abandoned by the modern medical field Don't forget bio-magnetic healing too (wearing magnets). Linus Pauling, received a Nobel Prize for his discovery of the magnetic properties of hemoglobin in the blood. He found that iron, in addition to its other functions, plays an important role in cell metabolism. Iron, and many electrolytic salts in our blood circulate bio-magnetically. In light of these discoveries, it has been found that the remote effect of magnetic flux on the body involves the iron in the bloodstream and its ability to be magnetized. This magnetization results in an acceleration of circulation and the transfer of negative (bio-north) energy to all areas of the body. Research and studies in Japan and India have found that wearing magnetic bracelets relieved shoulder pain in more than 70% of those tested. http://www.healingwithcopper.com/magnetpage.html Hey if it works (whether its in your mind or not) ... who cares!!
rabid hamster Posted December 6, 2002 Posted December 6, 2002 that's cool. I'm going to wear a magnet from now on. It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye.
ZR440 Posted December 16, 2002 Posted December 16, 2002 I might need to wrap a magnet around my head on New Years Day. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
KickChick Posted December 16, 2002 Posted December 16, 2002 .... hey you may be on to something there ZR.... instead of wearing the traditional lamp shade on my head this year I may just opt for the new age copper hat Last week I did something to my wrist ... actually bent my fist too far forward while doing a hook punch to the bag and ...&%$#@BOING this large bump on the top of my wrist protruded out. (the area around where the dial of your watch would be on your wrist but a little lower) It was a little sore so after reading this post I had a copper bracelet and wore it on my wrist for a few days. The pain is gone but I still have the lump which gets bigger everytime I just punch the bag. I'm thinking it may be a calcium deposit (?)
Red J Posted December 20, 2002 Author Posted December 20, 2002 .... hey you may be on to something there ZR.... instead of wearing the traditional lamp shade on my head this year I may just opt for the new age copper hat Or a Wonder Woman style tiara! It could be the new age rage!!! I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
