COPPER THERAPY
Copper Therapy is based on the idea that conditions such as rheumatism and arthritis result from a copper deficiency in the blood. Copper is important, as it is one of the 25 essential minerals utilised in the human body. It is used by cells to process oxygen, to produce energy and also fight cancer-causing free radicals. Copper also stimulates collagen, which gives connective tissue in our bodies its strength and resistance.
Copper is also vital to the nervous system. Modern farming and food processing techniques can prevent us getting enough copper in our diets. By wearing a copper bracelet you can help prevent copper deficiency and related conditions like arthritis. The copper bracelet gives you a natural top up of copper as it is absorbed through the skin into the blood. It can also help joint stiffness as it conducts heat to the area thus preventing the effects of cold and damp on the joints.
Recent research has even suggested that copper could have a use in preventing cancer. Experiments by Professor Sorenson, of Arkansas Medical Sciences University, led him to the conclusion that "just as copper therapy can bring about the elimination of metabolites which cause arthritis and rheumatism, so it prevents them turning normal body tissue into a cancerous state."
History of Magnets for Health Uses
Magnets have been used for many centuries for a variety of health purposes. By various accounts, magnets were discovered when people first noticed the presence of naturally magnetized stones, also called lodestones. By the third century A.D., Greek physicians were using magnetic rings to treat arthritis and magnetized pills made of amber to stop bleeding. In the Middle Ages, doctors used magnets to treat gout, arthritis, poisoning, and baldness; to clean wounds; and to retrieve arrowheads and other iron-containing objects from the body.
In the United States, magnetic devices (such as hairbrushes and insoles), magnetic ointments, and clothes with magnets attached came into wide use after the Civil War, especially in some rural areas where few doctors were available. Healers claimed that magnetic fields existed in the blood, and that people became ill when their magnetic fields were depleted. Thus, healers marketed magnets as a means of replenishing these magnetic fields. Magnets were promoted as cures for a wide range of health conditions, including paralysis, headache, backache, sleeplessness, upset stomach, and liver and kidney problems.
The use of magnets to treat medical problems remained popular well into the 20th century. Today, magnets are used for many different types of pain, including foot pain and back pain from conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia.
