Anybody else wear a copper bracelet?

Mule Packer · Sep 20, 2013

I've been wearing a copper bracelet now for almost twenty-five years. I started wearing one after I got bucked off a three-year old colt and kicked in the leg on the way down. Broke the leg. Even after the leg healed and I was out of the cast, I was limping around a bit, especially early in the morning or when the weather turned cold.

An old cowboy told me about wearing copper. I started doing it, and lo and behold, I wasn't limping as much. Even my wife noticed it. Maybe it's psychosomatic, but I don't care. It seems to work.

It used to bug me about how it turned my wrist green, but as that old cowboy told me, "That's the poison gettin' sucked out!"

I have a braided leather bracelet with a wound copper core. Old golfer's tale of taking away aches and pains. I'm not totally sold on the results but many swear by it. The up side is there's no green staining from sweat.

There was one other time when a copper fitted me with a bracelet, but that's a story for another time and place!

I do not wear a copper bracelet but have several friends that wear them and swear by them. My oldest son also wears one.

I don't...

I don't wear one, but would a little copper being absorbed through the skin help arthritis? Who knows? Maybe.

I draw the line at wearing magnets in my shoes.

My dad wore one until he died. (40+ years) maybe I should tr one.

I was thinking of getting one now that I have a bit of Arthritis but I'm worried that it may jam the signals I'm getting through my tin foil hat

I've been wearing a sterling silver bracelet for 25 yrs. I tell people it's a medical bracelet that says, if found insert 12 pack. HAHAHAHAH!

A friend gave it to me. I still have the bracelet and the friend.

My oldest boy has a couple of doctor buddies who are also avid golfers. They both claim they wouldn't have a backswing without one.

I have in the past. I was an absolute skeptic and gave absolutely no credence to the claims that they help arthritis. On a trip my hands were really bothering be and I thought I would buy one based on the claims of others, but fully convinced that there was no possibility that it would help. Guess what, even totally unbelieving IT DID! At least enough to know I had some degree of relief.

Try one, at least a cheap one, they are only a few dollars and it just might help. Only you will know if it helped you, and if it doesn't you aren't out much.

I'm afraid my magnetic personality would affect the bracelet and make me walk in circles. Besides, I'm such a klutz I'd probably hang it on something and wind up with one arm five inches longer than the other.

It's a scientific fact that copper is an excellent conductor of electricity. That means it will attract lightning. To avoid lightning, wear a rubber necklace. Adding garlic to the necklace will repel the vampires (and women). To offset the garlic smell you place cinnamon sticks in your nose. All together this is uncomfortable, but it might help your arthritis. For real relief you need my special ancient incantations which I will provide in return for a generous donation.

Luckily for you, copper isn't magnetic.

Years ago I read a brief synopsis of a research paper written on the effectiveness of copper bracelets. As I recall, the moisture in your skin reacts with the copper to produce a mild analgesic. In other words, even scientists believe it works.

Yes, they work well in relieving suckers of their money!! LOL!! Not one shred of scientific proof that they work.
