The Magnetic Theory
Magnets have been used in different cultures over the years by those
who believe magnets worn on the body promote good health. The theory is
that magnet therapy may be beneficial by affecting the circulatory system, the
blood flow in the body. Increased circulation is beneficial because the
body gets more of the nutrients it needs from the blood.
The Copper Theory
Various forms of copper have been used for medicinal purposes throughout the
history of mankind. The ancient Egyptian, Greek Roman, Persian, Hindu, and
Aztec writings record various consistent medicinal uses of copper.
Today, as more information becomes available, alternative health care and
home remedies are gaining popularity. Health publications include copper
bracelets as a home remedy to possibly ease the pain from arthritis in some
people who seem to get an insufficient amount of copper form their food.
Helmar Dollwet, Ph., D., of the University of Akron, has studied this copper
connection and thinks the dissolved copper form a copper bracelet entering the
body through the skin may be the only way for them to get the copper they need.
The average recommended daily intake for copper is 1.5 to 3 milligrams per
day.
This is necessary for our body’s copper dependent enzymes function properly.
One of these enzymes, Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), helps to reduce pain
and inflammation in our bodies. Unfortunately it is difficult for our body to
receive the necessary amount through dietary copper. Also, dietary copper is not
very efficient in
getting into your circulation. In order to remedy this problem many different
people have started to wear copper wristbands so that the copper is absorbed
into your body through the skin. On average patients found wearing copper
bracelets absorbed an average of 13 milligrams of copper in one month.
Important
Copper wristbands and magnetic products are considered to be unproven
remedies. Magnetic products should not be worn next to a watch. Do not use
magnet products during pregnancy, or if you have an electrical implant such as a
pacemaker. Consult with your doctor if you have any questions and continue
with regular medical care.
