In writing about alternative health in this blog, we have a tendency to focus on magnets and their purported therapeutic and palliative uses. However, although this is a blog for the Magnetic Products Store, we could also discuss copper.
After all, the medicinal value of copper has been argued by many - and accepted by some - for thousands of years. This is not exactly news therefore. More like history or even paleolithic anthropology. The wise men and women of the ancient past believed in the power of copper both to relieve pain and - in some cases - to cure the underlying ailment.
But of course, the beliefs of ancient humanity are not sacrosanct. They believed in a lot other things that were variously unjust and absurd. From slavery to the belief that the earth was flat. So the mere longevity of a belief does not lend it credibility.
Nevertheless, it is legitimate to ask: "do copper bracelets really work?" The question may do violence to the conscience of a qualified doctor or medical researcher in the mainstream of contemporary orthodox medicine. But it is a question that surely cannot be ignored. The scope of human knowledge does not progress if we shy away from asking the awkward questions that rattle the test tubes of the white-coated boffins in the biochemistry labs of academia.
But it is important to stress that in asking the question, we are not giving an answer. Though some people might find it hard to tell the difference! However there are those who would indeed answer in the affirmative, including some who suffer from arthritis. So that in turn opens the door on a further question, along the lines of why does copper help arthritis?
Even with the statistical studies that suggest that it does, and the counter-argument that it yet another example of the placebo effect, we still need to seek out the underlying causation. One explanation suggests that copper atoms are absorbed by the skin and can find there into the body via that route. And it is well-known that trace elements of copper are beneficial for human health. But this is something that has yet to be studied in depth.
And even if the permeation of the skin can be studied, the question is how can copper help the body? That too need to be investigated further - although at least we have some knowledge in place to start off from.
And if we can get some answers to the issue of what are the health benefits of copper, then you would no longer have to ask anyone "why do you wear copper bracelets?" Because by then you'll know the answer. But there is a case for caution, because in some cases copper can cause rather than prevent disease. That is why it is best to get a copper bracelet that has magnets as well. Copper plus magnets - now there's a powerful combination.

One thing every online seller wants to do is ensure that their customers are satisfied. That means that they get the product they ordered, that the product matched their expectations, that it arrived quickly and well-packaged and that it works or is undamaged. But it's also important for the customer to be able to actually use the product.
Now you might think that when the product is something you wear, like an article of clothing or jewelry, that the concept of "using" it doesn't apply. But this is wrong. If you wear, say, a magnetic bracelet, you want it to actually fit your wrist. And sometimes it doesn't. This is especially true of the best bracelets sold by Magnetic Products Store, like the ones with extra strong magnets for health.
Most people can of course measure their own wrist and get it right. (Please note, I said "most" not "all".) But what if they are buying the bracelet for some one else? Then, of course, all bets are off.
But this is not the end of the world. Because MPS supplies a free links removal tool with every links bracelet order, making it very easy for you to resize your bracelet. And their website also has a number of Troubleshooting pages including a well-illustrated page that explains how to use the tool.
So let’s say you’ve bought one of the healing bracelets for men or women and now find that it’s too large for your wrist, how do you remove a few links to reduce it to the right size?
Start by identifying the right side for putting the tip of the push pin (that means the pin on the device that is used to push the holding pins in and out of the bracelet.) This principle is shown below.
Next, line up the the pin you want to remove from the bracelet with the push pin. And then turn the handle of the device very slowly. This will push out the pin.
When the pin stars to emerge, you can pull it out with your fingers.
This process must be repeated on the other side in order to remove a group of links. Then you can reconnect the bracelet. This is illustrated in the following picture. You insert the pin with your fingers and push it part of the way.
Then you push it the rest of the way using the push the pin of the tool. And the job is done!
Good luck and enjoy your magnetic bracelet.

What the customers say about magnetic bracelets
Ultimately there's only one final judge and arbiter of products and their quality. That supreme judge is, of course,the customer. And Magnetic Products Store has one of the best records when it comes to customer satisfaction as shown by the comments from verified customers on reviews.co.uk. Consider this comment from a customer called Annette:
This bracelet was brought for my husband as a present . He is really pleased and didn't realise the effect it would have on relieving his rheumatism. (Annette)Another verified customer, commenting on the speed of delivery and overall presentation, wrote:
Excellent service. Product arrived quickly and well packaged and as described and illustrated.In similar spirit, verified customer Christine wrote:
From placing my order to receiving my bracelet service was excellent. My bracelet is lovely.A customer called Judy commented on both the packaging and the item itself.
My bracelet arrived when it was expected and I'm very pleased with it. It was in a Jewellery pouch, which was a nice touch, and well protected for delivery. It's made well and the copper is quite thick, so it feels substantial without being bulky. The design is well done and it's decorative.But of course, not all customers are women. A man called Stephen wrote in to say:
Once I had the Bracelet on for a few days I noticed a change in the areas where I had the uncomfortable pain starting to ease. Very pleased with my purchase. Ordered 1 day and delivered the next.And of course, as customers buy the bracelets not just fr their looks but also their effects, they sometimes comment on how the bracelets helped them. Take Ann for example:
I have now had three of these bracelets , and always wear it . They are amazing and have really helped my bad arthritis.Similar sentiments were expressed in more detail by a customer who shares my name (David).
Excellent Service - and the product - really works - there has been an improvement in my movement - also the aches and pains are reducing - highly recommend both the Producer and the product - a Magnetic Bracelet - also a very attractive product.There are thousands more comments like this on the independent review site. From this, you can be sure of the quality and service and effectiveness of the bracelets.

Goblins and Pilgrims
According to a hymn by John Bunyan (Who would true valor see) "Hobgoblin nor foul fiend can daunt his spirit." That is the spirit of a pilgrim. Indeed the hymn originally appeared in Bunyan's 1684 work The Pilgrim's Progress.
But what exactly is a hobgoblin and in what way does it differ from Hob-less variety? Alas Bunyan doesn't tell us.
However one thing we do know is that these infernal goblins - including the Hob variety - are no bloody good and we should have done with them as soon as possible. Which leads t the question: how do you get rid of them?
As is so often the case with these questions,the answer comes from Magnetic Products Store. And the answer is an Anti-Goblins men's premium stainless steel magnetic bracelet. It is one of a great new range of products for protecting real people from mythical creatures. And remember that mythical creatures are like virtual particles in physics: you may not be able to see them, but they still have an effect.

Magnetic bracelets offer inexpensive relief to osteoarthritis sufferers
The trouble with living in Britain is that you can have all our seasons in one day!
This is fine if you are indoors, looking out of the window. But if you are out and about, it can be a problem - especially if you suffer from arthritis. Chronic arthritis, and osteoarthritis in particular, is enough of a problem at the best of times. But bad weather makes it worse.
I have to add a caveat here that not everyone in the medical community accepts this opinion. An article in the Mail Online a few years ago quoted one Professor Philip Conaghan, professor of musculoskeletal medicine at the University of Leeds to the effect that:
However, the issue is surely not whether or not osteoarthritis occurs in all types of climate, but whether it occurs with the same incidence in all climates. And this question, the Mail online article does not address. In contrast, however, an article on the Arthritis Foundation tells us that:
Indeed, a Randomised controlled trial of magnetic bracelets for relieving pain in osteoarthritis of the hip and knee, published by the British Medical Journal, states that:

I have to add a caveat here that not everyone in the medical community accepts this opinion. An article in the Mail Online a few years ago quoted one Professor Philip Conaghan, professor of musculoskeletal medicine at the University of Leeds to the effect that:
Scientific trials have failed to prove this. There is no evidence to show weather or climate has any effect on arthritis. OA occurs all over the world, in all types of climates.'
Changes in temperature or barometric pressure, a measure that refers to the weight of the surrounding air, trigger joint pain, though researchers aren’t entirely sure why. In 2007, researchers at Tufts University in Boston reported that every 10-degree drop in temperature corresponded with an incremental increase in arthritis pain. Increasing barometric pressure was also a pain trigger in the Tufts study.The article goes on to say:
In fact, studies in cadavers have found that barometric pressure affects pressure inside the joints. In one experiment, when pressure in the hip joints was equated with atmospheric pressure, it threw the ball of the hip joint about one-third of an inch off track.This would appear to suggest that the weather effect is real. But the question is what can be done about it? Magnetic therapy has been the subject of ongoing controversy. But the one area where conventional medicine appears to be grudgingly ready to acknowledge that it works, is in providing pain relief for sufferers of osteoarthritis.
Indeed, a Randomised controlled trial of magnetic bracelets for relieving pain in osteoarthritis of the hip and knee, published by the British Medical Journal, states that:
We found evidence of a beneficial effect of magnetic wrist bracelets on the pain of osteoarthritis of the hip and knee. Self reported unblinding to treatment group did not substantially affect the results.The study is extremely detailed and thorough, taking into account "blinding removal" - testing if the magnets are real or not. It clearly rules out the placebo effect. Of particular interest is that it goes on to say that the treatment works better with stronger magnets. Finally, the article notes that magnetic bracelets are cost-effective because they can be used in conjunction with other treatments and because the bracelets are a one-off purchase:
the effects seem additive to those of the participants' usual treatment. The (one off) cost of bracelets (around £30-£50 ($58-$96, €43-€92)), compares well with that of analgesics (paracetamol £20 a year, newer non-steroidal anti-inflammatories £250 a year).This would seem to pretty much close the case. For someone suffering from osteoarthritis, it's a no-brainer.

This sporting life
Well, it's now only three weeks away. That two-week spectacular when the finest sporting representatives of over 100 nations will aim to prove themselves to be Faster, Higher and Stronger than their competitors - hopefully without the use of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
I am refering - of course - to the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. One of the things I like about the Olympics is that they encourage ordinary people to take up if not sport then at least physical fitness and exercise - at least for the Olympic fortnight itself, and sometimes for the first few weeks after that. Even if many people drop out, with some it will last. And if nothing else, the sight of pot-bellied, middle-aged dad doing some exercise, might set an example for the children.
This is especially true of boys and especially young ones, who like to copy their dad. If the effect of this is to set toddlers and their slightly older siblings on a path of regular exercise and healthy living, that is surely a good thing - even if it plays havoc with your visit to the local swimming pool when some fat slob dives in displacing a large volume of water in all directions!
Of course one of the risks with people suddenly taking sport and thinking they are fitter than they are is the risk of sports injury. That is why it is good to have an online retailer like Magnetic Products Store selling a change of wraps, and high-quality sports bracelets at reasonable prices.
Of course, if mental games and intellectual competition are more your scene, then you might be interested in taking a survey on your game-playing habits, or check out this new game being developed, and it's associated page on Facebook.

High street blues
Those of you who follow this blog know that I am a passionate advocate of the power of magnetic bracelets. I would hardly blog about it if I wasn't. But what I've been wondering lately is why magnetic jewellery has such a low profile when it comes to the high street?
The received wisdom of the retail trade is that if a certain type of merchandise is popular online then it is also popular in the high street. This might come as a surprise to some people. But remember that there are swings and roundabouts when it comes to retail. The internet tends to offer a wider range of choice, but the high street and offer try-before-you-buy. The internet usually offers lower prices, whereas the high street (and shopping mall) offer instant gratification- you don't have to wait until it arrives by mail or courier service.
That is why we still have high street bookshops - despite Amazon - and why we have food retailers, despite Ocado and online food retail. Admittedly some things have shifted to the online world. That is why record shops are dead. They simply could not compete with downloadable music which offered massive choice as well as instant gratification.
But that is something that can be reduced to electronic form. It is axiomatic that items that can only exist in physical form will continue to have a place on the high street. To adapt Mark Twain's phrase: reports of the death of the high street are greatly exaggerated.
So why not magnetic bracelets? Why are they not there?
I think the answer lies - to some extent - in the economics of the high street, in contradistinction to the internet. Take a company like Magnetic Products Store. They are able to sell all over the world because of the power of internet outreach as well as fulfillment by major internet retail partners. This takes financial resources, but equivalent to opening just one, or maybe two, high street retail outlets. It's no comparison. To reach out to the customer base via the high street would require a whole chain of shops and thus a massive investment.
Why would any successful online retailer do this when they can reach out to a much bigger customer base via the worldwide web?
It's a no-brainer. The status quo simply makes more sense... at least for the time-being. But that may not always be the case. After all, as the customer base increases sooner or later people are going to want to buy the top brand.

Energy pendants
Those of you who have been following my other blogs will know that I have been singing the praises of energy pendants lately. Here's a picture of them so that you can see why! They are beautiful and each one is different from the rest. They are not so much a product range - or even a family - as a population of diverse individuals.
And there's at least one to suit everyone.
Of course we all have favourites. But we don't have to stick to just one. It might be the gold-plated butterfly one day and the ace of spaces the next.
Music lovers might go for the Lover Never Dies pendant. While those of a more fiery disposition might favour the Dual Plates Flame.
Of course, not everyone likes them. In my internet searching, I found one site that set out to "warn" people against these pendants, claiming that they are the devil's work! Don't you just love a good bit of paranoia, once in a while.
Anyway, my own view is that they are the work of skilled designers and good manufacturers or craftsmen. And I will continue to wear them if, as and when the fancy grabs me.

Removing links on your bracelet
Resizing tool instructions |
For example, every links bracelet they sell, comes with a resizing tool that enables customers to remove links from their bracelet without having to send it back. This tool arrives with clear instructions on how to use it.
Expanding bracelet |
For the athletes among you, suffering from sports injuries, they also some very nice silicone sports wrist bands. These too stretch over the hand and fit snugly on the wrist. With these, the issue of the bracelet being too big doesn't arise.
Copper bangle - looks ancient |
But that's not the end of the story, because finally - while we're on the subject of one-size-fits-all - they sell a very nice range of magnetic bangles. Like the rest of their range, these come in in a various materials: i.e. solid copper, copper alloy, stainless steel and titanium.
So one way or another you need never worry about your magnetic bracelet being the wrong size.

Saint Valentine's day fast approaches
Mariela Hearts |
First, just a quick update: the winter giveaway is over and was a great success, with 83 entries. The winner has been informed.
Next up is St. Valentine's Day. No doubt some of you are wondering where the tradition of giving St. Valentine gifts comes from and who was this St. Valentine that we celebrate as the "patron saint of lovers."
The trouble is that there was not one but actually fourteen saints called Valentine - or Valentinius to use the Latin form! And guess how many of these were associated with romantic love? Sorry to disappoint the romantics out there, but the answer is a big fat ZERO. Not even one of them had anything to do with romance!
So who were they? And why were they canonised? Well the answer is that like most saints - or at least the early ones - they were Christian martyrs. But which of them was the one we associate with the 14th of February? Again, sorry to disappoint, but the answer is three of them.
MPS Bio |
But how did Christian martyrs come to be associated with romantic love? It's hard to say exactly, but the process was probably a gradual one. In Christian tradition, marriage is a sacrament which symbolises God's (and Jesus') love for humankind. And there were legends and myths about early Christians performing secret marriage ceremonies for low-ranking Roman soldiers who were allegedly not allowed to marry.
The problem is that this is a myth. Roman soldiers of all ranks were allowed to marry. Indeed being pagans they were allowed more than one wife. Ironically it was in England much later - in the nineteenth century - that the lowest-ranking soldiers in the army were not allowed to marry. Hence the saying: "Officers and their ladies, non-coms and their wives, privates and their women..."
Because of Chaucer's formidable stature as the leading English writer - and because February 14 had been designated as "St. Valentine's Day" by the prevailing Roman Catholic Church - that day henceforth came to be accepted as the day that must be associated with romantic love and lovers. That view was reinforced by Shakespeare 220 years later in Hamlet.
We don't know too much about how this manifested itself in Stuart times, let alone the austere republican Commonwealth of Oliver Cromwell. Even the role of Valentine's Day in the early decades of the Hanoverian dynasty remain obscure. But by the late eighteenth century and the reign of George the Third, young men were sending handwritten cards to their paramours as a matter of course. And because this was an era of prosperity and industry, printed Valentine cards began to appear. This was soon followed by the giving of romantic presents such as flowers. Then in the nineteenth century - when those three great quaker entrepreneurs Henry Isaac Rowntree, John Cadbury and Joseph Fry set up their chocolate factories - another item became popular as a Valentine's Day gift.
Today, in the great restaurant age, candle-lit dinners are popular. And for those who can afford it, jewellery is the ultimate romantic gift.
Jamain Lilcac |
But precious jewellery is not within everyone's price range. And so the Magnetic Products Store is here to offer an alternative: magnetic jewellery. And because in this egalitarian age, women can now buy presents for men, this range includes bracelets for men, sports magnets and the best bracelets around.
And in honour of St. Valentine's Day, they are doing a major promotion.
But hurry up. Remember St. Valentine's Day is only four days away and you want to allow enough time for the item(s) you order to reach you.

January Sale
|
A little message for you all about how little things can make a big difference in the realm of magnetic bracelets.
For anyone living north of the Tropic of Cancer, January is a downer on account of the cold weather and short days. December is bearable because of the Yuletide festivals. But the first month of he year offers no such comforts.
Of course, what we really need is something to brighten things up a bit. And there are two things that fit the bill. One is treating ourselves to something - anything - as long as it's new. The other is something bright... and in jewellery. And jewellery doesn't have to be expensive. Chrome steel, Swarovski are just as bright and beautiful as gold, silver, diamonds and rubies.
And the good news is that ou can kill two birds with one stone. Because the Magnetic Products Store's January Sale has started!!!!
And that means you can now buy magnetic jewellery at discounts of up to 80%.
And I can tell you one thing, when you put a bright shiny magnetic bracelet on your wrist, not only does it brighten up your day - it also brightens things up for those around you.

Criteria for choosing magnetic bracelets
One of the problems you face as a consumer buying magnetic bracelets is that you are spoilt for choice. This applies not only to the multiplicity of eTailers selling magnetic jewellery but also to the vast range of magnetic bangles, bracelets, necklaces, etc that you find in the larger internet retail outlets - most notably Magnetic Products Store, the biggest supplier of magnetic bracelets in Europe and the second biggest in the world (by product range).
To address this problem, you need to establish some buying criteria. These may include price range, size considerations and appearance. This last is especially important because the very word jewellery derives from the French word for joy - and the source of the joy is the brightness and visual stimulation afforded by the jewellery, not the number of Newtons it exerts on a piece of iron in close proximity.
This may come as a surprise to some people, who think they should look first and foremost at functional considerations like the number of the magnets or their strength. But the fact of the matter is that there isn't a huge difference in the magnetic strength of the various bracelets and bangles - except maybe the double-strength ones, obviously. But even if there were, it would have very limited impact on their properties, except in a few cases.
The reason for this is that you wear the bracelet long-term and so it is the long-term effect that matters. Even with medicine, where you want a powerful effect to kick in quickly, you wouldn't necessarily want a high dose, if only because a high dose can sometimes be too high. Now I am not saying that you can overdose on magnets, because of course you can't, unless you happen to be carrying a five-ton super magnet on your person - in which case you'll probably give yourself a hernia and then you'll need a magnetic wrap of some kind! But I am suggesting that you shouldn't dwell too much on the magnetic strength of the bracelet.
Pay attention instead to the cry of your heart and the gleam in your eye. If it looks nice, then buy it.

Magnetic products store versus Wikipedia
A recent post on the blog of Magnetic Products Store challenged the obvious bias of the Wikipedia article on Magnet Therapy. The post points out that attempts to add balance to the Wikipedia article were rebuffed (i.e. deleted) by the owner of the blog. Below is an extract:
It was pointed out a few months ago, in an addition to the Wikipedia entry, that one of the articles cited as evidence that magnetic therapy doesn't work, in fact contains the sentence: “For osteoarthritis, the evidence is insufficient to exclude a clinically important benefit, which creates an opportunity for further investigation.” (Emphasis added)
Unfortunately, this attempt to give balance to the Wikipedia article, was unceremoniously rebuffed. The qualifying sentence was removed from the Wikipedia entry by the person who controls the entry – even though the added sentence was only quoting from the same article that the main author of the Wikipedia entry had already cited! This too was pointed out, but the gatekeeper remained unmoved. There followed an amicable exchange in the discussion page in which the gatekeeper sought to bolster their case by citing a 2012 study on magnetic therapy in osteoarthritis.
However, if one looks carefully at the phraseology of the Wikipedia entry, it states that the articles cited found “insufficient evidence to conclude that magnet therapy is effective for pain relief.” (Emphasis added) And one of the reasons that the source articles cited for rejecting even the most stringent double-blind studies that supported the case for magnetic therapy was “difficulty with allocation concealment.” In layman's terms: the test subjects could themselves test to see whether they have a magnet or a placebo by holding it to an iron object or surface.
Now it is certainly true that the test subjects could do this. But how many actually do or would?
The post continues to demolish the flawed, biased, one-sided Wikipedia article. Indeed even the 2012 study - which the article owner added to bolster their cases - actually stated that the magnetic therapy had not been either proven or disproven. In other words, the most one could say was that the jury was till out.
Why then did the Wikipedia article call magnetic therapy "pseudoscientific"? Why indeed?
