Copper Bracelets, Magnetic Wrist Straps Fail to Help Rheumatoid Arthritis

 

I had noted a long time ago that based on the proposed mechanism, there was no basis to expect magnetic bracelets to work. No real surprise that they don't.

 

The research published in PLOS ONE, show that both the standard magnetic wrist strap and the copper bracelet provided no meaningful therapeutic effects beyond those of a placebo, which was not magnetic and did not contain copper.

 

I like that they point this out about the placebos.
