I make these at home good for arthritis.

Show us any scientific study that supports the theory that a copper bracelet will do anything.

Show us scientific study that it doesn't. 

My grandmothers wore them... they lived well into their 90s and didn't die of arthritis. 

I think they are cool Mark.

Beautiful work @markseven!!! 

 

Question: Do you use reclaimed copper wire or do you source it for that purpose?

[markseven 42]

Its used copper. 

I also heat it up and annualized it.

I guess there are a lot of things that have no scientific basis but that show positive effects in people. 

Whether thats a placebo effect or something we dont fully understand yet I'm not sure.

I do yoga and aside from the physical benefits of stretching there is also a lot of "spiritual" or emotional benefit that can't be explained. 

The old yoga texts talk about energy pathways and chakras which can't be found by modern medicine. But you can feel the effects alright.

So if copper wire worn next to the skin can make your joints feel better then give it a go, who are we to say its nonsense. 

Im cold water swimming and it definitely gives me benefits contrary to what everyone thinks.

As I age and inevitably more things are found wrong or wearing out, I think lot about what is in the future for me. Watching my wife fighting the rapid deteriorating effects of Parkinson’s specially when coupled with effects of Arthritis is a sobering daily affair. If similar conditions will happen to me , what will I do and how will I cope with it. Particularly if I loose the ability to use my hands. I will lose essentially what keeps me grounded and probably with some normal degree of sanity. I will lose what is my shield against the undesirable effects of life. I am a firm believer in science but I also believe in the existence of certain energies, good and bad , some of them having had great benefits in my life. 
 A simple bracelet is not going to harm anyone. It is also a craft obviously enjoyed by its creator, tastefully done making one at least taking a look at it and appreciating the craftsmanship and that went into it. Something I can definitely appreciate. So that along with my worries about what the future may be holding for me , looks like I may be getting a bracelet when available.
