Do Copper Bangles Work?

Oh yeah, absolutely, and make sure she turns around to the
left 3 times, walks backwards 3 steps, and hops on one foot,
the left, 3 times each night before going to bed. That
oughta do it.

Seriously, snake oil does, on occasion make someone feel
better (usually the alcohol in it), but it's through the
placebo effect.

Get her the bangles. She might enjoy wearing them; she can
tell her friends what you did for her, grandma's always like
to talk about their grandkids. She might even think she
feels better, although if she does she'll become ritually
attached to them. It won't hurt, although her wrist might
turn green, but, no, bangles won't cure rheumatism/arthritis
(rheumatoid arthritis).

Hi folks, Anybody know anything about whether Copper
Bangles work to cure Rheumatism and Arthritis? Nobody I
have asked knows for sure how they are supposed to work
but I have found a place on the net (www.copper-
bangles.co.uk) which claim that their bangles redirect
body electricity and cure chronic rheumatic and arthritic
problems in all ages. I want to buy one as a present for
my Grandma who suffers from chronic arthritis in her hands
bless her. I don't normally believe in all this new age
stuff but I saw Ian Botham the former England Cricketer,
wearing one in a TV advert sponsoring a breakfast cereal
recently and thought, well, if it's good enough for him,
he must be getting results so it might be worth a try, but
there are just so many offered on the net. This firm seems
about the cheapest and gives lots of information. Are all
copper bangles the same do you think and how do they work
if at all? Does anybody in this newsgroup use them? Thanks
for your help, Tracy
