One time, years ago, I rubbed a wart with a chicken liver and buried it under the back porch and the wart went away. Chicken didn't fare too well as I recall.
Anybody else wear a copper bracelet?

I tried one and I couldn't tell that it helped. If someone thinks it helps go for it. I have found that the best way to keep my arthritis from bothering me is to eat a lot of ice cream and watch TV.

I find that standing on one leg provides some temporary relief from the pain of arthritis in the other. It's important to change legs frequently and not plan on going anywhere. You put your left foot in, you take your left foot out...

There was one other time when a copper fitted me with a bracelet, but that's a story for another time and place!
As Koz often says, "Never let the unvarnished truth stand in the way of a good story."
Good advice for us all on this Forum, too!
And just so I won't be accused of thread hijack, might I observe that with the price of copper these days, I would be loath to wear a copper bracelet without also carrying my trusty 4513TSW readily accessible to the opposite hand?

Copper bracelets , crystals , rabbits feet , charms , amulets , pendants , medals , relics , etc all work magic.
According to the huckster selling them!
Another old tale was that a copper penny in each shoe was supposed to alleviate foot and/or leg pain.

In 1982, the composition of the cent was changed to 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper (copper-plated zinc).

Is that why we wore penny loafers?

In my 72nd life I was captured by Thessalonians and chained in copper handcuffs. As I recall my wrists were the only thing that didn't hurt while being dragged behind the chariot. They did turn my wrists green.

You mean to tell me this 39 pounds of gold chain I wear every day should have been copper?????? Next you will tell me a 67 year-old-fat-man should button his shirt up.

It's OK, Mr. T. That gold look served you well back in the day.
Face it. If it had been copper, you'd have been struck by lightning bolts more times than you could count. And then, where would the A-Team have been?

Copper has antimicrobial properties... you ever wonder why door knobs are mostly made from copper and brass?
"While it's never been proven that copper can be absorbed through the skin by wearing a bracelet, research has shown that excessive copper can result in poisoning. This can be seen after ingesting foods boiled in copper vessels or from contamination of water from corroding copper pipes, causing vomiting and, in severe cases, liver damage. In reality no modality of treatment has been shown to cure or reverse the changes of arthritis."-UAMS

How much Copper content does some from around 1900 have? I have several but-dont know if I should use them for fear of corroding them.

I used Silversulfadiazine (SP?) a number of years ago because I had severe chemical burns on my skin. It was the only ointment product out there that worked. Anyway, it had I THINK 15% Silver in its make up? or something around that--and worked wonders. It was also (w/ my current insurance) $200 a tube.

Sure it is. Ain't you never seen/read X-Men? Magneto, with his "power of magnetism" can control ALL metals.
Therefore all metal is magnetic. Stan Lee and Marvel Comics say so, and they wouldn't lie to me.
