How to Take Care of Magnetic Bracelets

2009-08-29T18:34:00.000-07:00

The use of magnets to relieve joint pain and inflammation is an increasingly popular form of alternative medicine. Although the benefits of magnetic therapy are not supported by clinical studies, users of magnetic therapy claim that wearing magnets against the skin of affected joints helps to realign disturbances in cells' magnetic fields, thus relieving the pain. If magnetic therapy is working for you, you must take good care of your jewelry to keep the magnets strong and at their most effective.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Soft cloth
Mild soap
Brass or metal cleaner (optional)

Step 1

Avoid dropping or hitting the magnetic jewelry on a hard surface, as this can reduce the magnetism or remove it altogether.
Step 2

Clean your jewelry by wiping it with a wet cloth and mild soap, rinse it well in water, and allow to air dry. Do not clean your jewelry in a jewelry cleaning machine because this can also jar the magnetism out of the metal. Do not clean your jewelry with jewelry cleaner. This can also corrode the magnets.
Step 3

Clean tarnished copper magnets with a brass or metal cleaner.
Step 4

Take off your jewelry before swimming in a chlorinated pool or in salt water. Chlorine and salt can corrode the metal the magnets are made of.

How to Assemble a Magnetic Bracelet

2009-08-29T18:31:00.000-07:00

A magnetic stretch bracelet is made with Lodestone and Hematite magnetic beads. Lodestone is a piece of iron that is naturally magnetized and Hematite is a bead that has been magnetized manually by man. Magnetic bracelets have become popular today because of their healing properties. Many individuals have testified that they have experienced increased blood flow, and relief from headaches and other aches and pains.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

12 3mm Black Magnetic Lodestone Beads 13 4mm Pearl Colored Hematite Magnetic Bead 1 Piece of Beading Elastic cut about 10" Scissors 1 Binder Clip

Women's 7" Stretch Magnetic Bracelet

Step 1

Set out your magnetic beads and tools that you will be using.
Step 2

Pick up your 10" beading elastic and attach the binder clip to one end of it.
Step 3

Slide one pearl colored bead down the elastic, slide the black Lodestone magnetic bead, and then alternate the rest of your beads.
Step 4

When you have finished using all your beads, take the binder clip off and tie both ends into a square knot. Make sure your knot is tight and that it does not slide open. You may want to tie another square knot for reinforcement. Cut the excess elastic off close to the knot.

Tips & Warnings

Because of the popularity of magnetic beads today, you can purchase the Lodestone beads and round Hematite beads in black or in different colors at a bead store near you.

Making Magnetic Bracelets

2009-08-29T18:30:00.000-07:00

Design Bracelet

Laying out a design for a magnetic bracelet can be a little more difficult than laying out other beaded jewelry designs because the magnetic beads try to move together. There are a couple possible solutions to this. Instead of using a bead board, use a clean towel to lay out your design. Lay the beads out in a straight line instead of in a circular pattern, keeping them far enough apart that the magnetic beads don't attract each other. If you want to place your beads closer to each other in laying out your pattern, find a bead similar to the magnetic beads you are using, and substitute it so you can see what your pattern looks like. Don't forget to replace them with the magnetic beads when you start stringing them.
In either case, lay out a pattern of your choosing, making the bracelet long enough to wrap around your wrist at least three times. Also, begin and end your design with a magnetic bead, and don't separate the magnetic beads by more than about two inches. You can use any other type of bead with the magnetic beads, but avoid beads that are too heavy for the magnets.

String the Bead Bracelet

Measure out a piece of extra-flexible beading wire, such as Accu-Flex. The wire should be at least 6 inches longer than the finished length of the bracelet. Tie a double knot at the end of the wire. String the beads you laid out, making sure the first bead and the last bead you put on are magnetic beads.

Tie Off End

When all of the beads have been strung, hold the strand up and push the beads down so there are no gaps. Double-check to make sure none of your magnetic beads have become attached to each other, possibly creating gaps.
Holding the last bead in place, tie a large loose overhand knot at the end of the strand, but do not tighten it. Put a large corsage pin through the center of the knot and, still holding the beads in place so there are no gaps, gently work the pin and the knot down the wire until they are flush against the last bead. Pull the knot tight and gently remove the pin. The idea of the pin is to make sure the knot is tight and works similar to placing a finger on the ribbon of a gift package to help tie a tight bow.
Double-tie the knot, and then dab the knots at each end with a small amount of clear fingernail polish. Let the polish dry and then snip off any extra wire as close to the knots as possible.

How to Correctly Wear a Magnetic Bracelet

2009-08-29T18:27:00.000-07:00

Many people find that magnetic bracelets improve their overall health while addressing nagging chronic ailments. There are many different kinds of magnetic bracelets. These simple directions apply to unipole or unidirectional magnetic bracelets, which are most commonly used in magnetic therapy.

Instructions

Step 1

Using the directions that accompany the magnetic bracelet, identify, which side of the bracelet is "positive" and which is "negative." Typically, therapists encourage people to wear the "negative" side of the magnet right next to the skin.
Step 2

Consult your reflexology map, which should include wrist acupressure points. (You can get such a map at a bookstore or library.) Wear your bracelet on the wrist that contains the pressure points you would like to affect. If you are having back pain, for example, you want to wear the bracelet on your left wrist, because the acupressure points for the spine are nearby. If you are suffer from gastrointestinal problems, you want to wear your bracelet on your right wrist.
Step 3

Place the bracelet on your wrist. If your bracelet allows you to tighten it, do so to your comfort level.
Step 4

Remove your bracelet(s) when showering, bathing or engaging in any activity that would cause it to be submerged. This protects your bracelet from damage or soap-scum buildup.
Step 5

Know that wearing your bracelet(s) overnight is optional. Most therapists recommend that patients start by wearing the bracelets during the day only. If you are not achieving the desired results, try wearing the bracelet(s) overnight.

Tips & Warnings

These directions apply to unipole or unidirectional magnetic bracelets, which are most commonly used in magnetic therapy. If you are using a different type of magnetic bracelet, talk to a professional therapist about magnet placement.
If you are pregnant or wearing a pacemaker, do not use magnetic bracelets. Wearing magnetic bracelets should also be avoided when you are using an electronic device, like a heating pad.

About Magnetic Bracelets & Weight Loss

2009-08-29T18:26:00.000-07:00

Magnets have been used for centuries to improve a person's health. From the ancient Egyptians to modern medicine, practitioners have been constantly attempting to discern the real effects of magnets on the human body, and to find ways to enhance those effects for the benefit of all. One of the more modern crazes, though it's been popular for much longer, is to wear magnetic bracelets.

Origin

Magnetic jewelry is not a new craze, or even a new idea. Records indicate that ancient Egyptian physicians often used lodestone, natural magnets, on areas of their patients' bodies. The effects of these magnets supposedly ranged everywhere from curing disease and skin conditions to slowing the effects of aging.

Effects

Modern science, through the use of refined magnets and technology, has been able to determine more specifically the effects of magnets on the human body. Magnets have been shown to increase a person's blood flow, reduce inflammation, relieve pain and in some cases to improve healing.

Bracelets

Among all of the current popular choices for magnetic health aids, magnetic bracelets are some of the most common. The location of a magnetic bracelet at the wrist, a major confluence of veins, is supposed to enhance its effectiveness even more.

Weight Loss

Wearing magnetic bracelets, and other magnetic jewelry, is supposed to benefit those attempting to lose weight. There is a school of thought that may support this as well. Enhanced blood flow is not only healthy, but can help those who are eating well and exercising keep up their metabolism and burn more calories and fat. However, this does require a person wearing a magnetic bracelet to do more if they intend on losing weight in any noticeable way.

Dangers

While there is a great deal of talk about magnetic bracelets and their effects, no hard evidence has shown that they produce any really noticeable effects. Additionally, no peer reviewed, scientific studies have been done on the effects of magnetic jewelry, insoles, or other similar items to prove their effects beyond a reasonable doubt.

So You Have Rheumatoid Arthritis? Now What

2009-08-01T13:02:00.000-07:00

Rheumatoid Arthritis can hit hard and hit fast. By the time some people get a diagnosis of RA, they have become disabled almost overnight. This is because often the stiffness and aches go unnoticed as symptoms and dismissed with the weather or too much exercise.

Did you know Cetyl Myristoleate combined with Glucosamine, Methyl Sulfonylmethane EFA and DHA can effect and relieve stiffness and range of motion 97% of the time? It is true.

Two double blind studies were published in the Journal of Rheumatology showing "Topical treatment with cetylated fatty acids significantly increased physical performance (e.g., balance, stair climbing ability, ability to rise from a chair, and walking) in patients with knee OA. A unique finding was an immediate effect of this treatment 30 min after initial cream application. The results of this study provide support for the use of cetylated fatty acids as part of a pain relief treatment in patients with knee OA."1

And the other, a study of Cetyl Myristoleate in a pill form, concluded: "Compared to placebo, CFA provides an improvement in knee range of motion and overall function in patients with OA of the knee. CFA may be an alternative to the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of OA." (italic added)2

What was the focus of these studies? Nikken's Bio-Directed Joint and Bio-directed CM Complex Skin Cream.

Because of it's anti-inflammatory properties, these studies are important for Rheumatoid Arthritis as well. As a matter of fact, this combination glucosamine, methyl sulfonylemthane, cetyl myristoleate (CM) and essential fatty acids, has been seen to be effective for osteoarthritis (OA), juvenile arthritis (JA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Degenerative Joints Disease, in fact all the arthritis-es, and sore muscles, ligaments, tendons, bursitis, fibromyalgia, cartilage, as well. Even chronic back pain suffers have found relieve with it.

For your own good, I suggest you do a Google search on CM Complex and Cetyl Myristoleate and learn about it yourself.

Is it too late? NO. No it is not too late. Often RA will go into remission. With the help of new treatments and medications, the discomfort of rheumatoid arthritis can be managed if not reversed to varying degrees. The reality is, that it can come back and rear it's ugly head at any time and for any reason, so be prepared, stay informed.

Do You Have Rheumatoid Arthritis?

2009-08-01T13:00:00.000-07:00

Maybe your story is like Emma Mullins Coccari's of Kentucky. She cicatrizes her life as before and after. Before, she was an active person: After, she became a shell of her former self: lying in bed or on a couch, completely absorbed pain and suffering.

"As most people with chronic illnesses do, I see my life in two distinct parts: BEFORE Illness and AFTER Illness. riding roller coasters and thrill rides on family vacations, hitting the golf course or the ski slopes, hiking with my sons and our dog, and cheering at my sons' ballgames. I also worked long hours as a Bank Manager. This was only 9 years ago, but it feels like an eternity, maybe even a dream. With a combination of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis, this agony lasted for 8 years for her before she found relief. Her Rheumatologist labeled her the 'worst R.A. patient' because it took 4 years to find anything that would help. And the worst: symptom, PAIN, never did come under control.

Emma became crippled. She became crippled in many ways. "Crippled my ability to work because I couldn't keep up the pace; it crippled my high energy with never-ending fatigue; it crippled my enthusiasm with relentless, agonizing pain; it crippled my confidence by putting me on a cane, then crutches, and at times, a wheelchair; it crippled my body with attacks on my joints, bones, muscles, heart, lungs and digestive system; and it crippled my family's time because they had to care for me.

The massive doses of the steroid Prednisone was not helping. Emma even admits to praying to die. She didn't think anyone would miss her much. She hadn't been a good mother for years. She began an aggressive regime of Methotrexate injections (a type of chemotherapy), and Remicade LV. Infusions. This helped a little. But It was when she began drinking Pi-Mag Water that she slowly began to get better. It was a while before she realized her throat infections had cleared up.

But it wasn't just the water that began her on her journey to recovery. Her liver had began to fail because of the chemotherapy drug, Methotrexate. When she was told she would have to stop taking the drug, and get a liver biopsy she was terrified, because the Methotrexate coupled with I.V. infusions were the only thing keeping the sores away. But with the help of a Liver Pill made by Nikken, her liver recovered on it's own. There were other things Emma did. She found a protein drink that had double the nutrition of Boost or Ensure, and she used magnets. A magnetic sleep system, a magnetic seat cushion, insoles for her feet and loose magnets in her pockets.

Then slowly, but surely, Emma found relief. The answer to her prayers was not death it was LIFE! In Emma's own words she reports, "On my last visit to the pain management clinic, my doctor DID NOT RECOGNIZE ME--HE even INTRODUCED himself to me. When he opened my chart and saw my name he said 'Holy Mackerel, Emma I didn't recognize you; you look healthy, and well!' He called for his staff to come see me saying, 'Do you remember Ms Coccari, she was in a wheelchair before, and look at her now!' Emma's doctor was Dr. Ackerman. He asked if he could refer patients to her.

Nikken, Inc - A Review Of The Nikken Business Opportunity

2009-05-22T10:47:00.000-07:00

The Nikken business opportunity is just like so many multi-level marketing companies out there. In this review, I will give you a brief description of their product line, and then examine what must be done in order to succeed as a Nikken distributor.

The Nikken product line includes a wide selection of items that the distributor can market in order to make money. Here is a sampling of their most popular products: Air filtration and water treatment systems; personal care and skin care products; cosmetics and personal care products; nutritional supplements and fitness products (weight management); and even jewelry!

Nikken's compensation plan is a type of break-away plan known as a "stair-step" plan. In this plan, the distributor ends up "breaking away" from their sponsor when they reach a certain level or qualifying point. This is bad for the distributor for obvious reasons. Not only did they just lost their sponsor/mentor, but they also are now in direct competition with them. The story isn't as bad for the sponsor, because they will still get a percentage of everything the distributor sells.

As you can see, Nikken is no different than all the other MLMs out there. They might have good products, but their compensation plan falls apart the moment that you break-away from your sponsor. People just don't seem to understand how damaging MLMs can be... Every time someone breaks away, whether it be you or someone that you brought in, the teamwork disappears and everyone is left to fend for themselves. If you don't mind spending the time and energy to recruit an average of 100-200 people on your team to make about $1000, then Nikkon might be the business for you.

Nikken

2009-05-18T23:20:00.001-07:00

Nikken is an MLM company that started in Japan in 1975. Nikken entered the US market in 1989 and it wasn't until the following year that a caucasion took a look at the opportunity. It has been growing rapidly since then. The chief product from Nikken is magnet theropy for body pain.

In my opinion, the payment plan Nikken created is a little rough around the edges. and a larger initial investment than most other mlm companies I've been a member of.

But I've been told you can join at a intro price of $49.95 for NIKKEN's sales kit. Now, NIKKEN does recommend that you purchase the Demo Pak (so that you can do demonstrations) and the Career Pak (which contains alot of the items NIKKEN carries). That's when Nikken starts to get really expensive to get involved in.

In my opinion Nikken reps push the limits of truth as I've heard some far fetched claims about what their magnets can do. Some of it really sounds made up. And they sell these magnets at an obscene markup.

The company sold $700 Million last year in Japan. I wonder what happened to the collapse. Nikken claims to have 30,000 active distributors in America doing the business.

The idea of selling magnets is strange, I will admit. I was very skeptical when I was first approached by a Nikken distributor and introduced to the product line.

Be sure to look in the area about the Nikken career opportunity. There is information on the marketing plan, top US distributors, car/home incentive program, and misc company and opportunity information.

Magnet therapy at the moment is on less solid ground as the much quoted (by Nikken) Baylor scientific study of magnets is being called into question as possibly false.

I've heard some interesting things from the Japanese point of view. Americans are gaining a reputation around the world of being among the most gullible patsies there are. I think Nikkin is aiming their alleged miracle alternatives at the same people who buy the tabloids.

A friend of mine has been busily selling their products, essentially a close cousin to refrigerator magnets that will cost you $25 a pop. But I believe most refrigerator magnets are much stronger than these. And a lot less money. Most refrigerator magnets will stick to the side of your fridge and hold their own weight plus that of the decorative device glued to them. But I've been told the Nikkin ones won't.

I've seen many Nikken distributors on the net sniffing out anyone who has admitted to having any imaginable affliction and will give them a sales pitch about how her magnets are the magic panacea.

The biggest problem with Nikken for their distributors to overcome is the questionable befefits of their magnets.

Nikken MLM Home Business Review

2009-05-18T23:14:00.000-07:00

Nikken Inc. is a wellness based company with its world headquarters located in Irvine, California. Nikken offers a home business opportunity by selling or marketing their products through MLM or multilevel marketing.

The Nikken product line consists of a large array of products. They include Air Filters/Air Filtration Systems, Aromatherapy, Cookware, Cosmetics, Health/Fitness/Wellness, Jewelry, Nutritional Supplements, Personal Care, Skincare, Water Treatment Systems, and Weight Management products. The product line has a lot of variety as you can see. Some testimonials that have been given by individuals that have consumed Nikken products include statements of increased energy and stamina, relief from headaches, arthritis, and other health related symptoms.

The business opportunity provided by Nikken contains a stairstep-breakaway compensation plan. This is one of the most easily confused and hard to explain comp plans. A big part of the stairstep-breakaway comp plan is that when a distributor reaches a certain qualifying point, they then breakaway from their original sponsor. When this happens, the original sponsor will now only get a certain percentage of everything the sponsored distributor's group is doing. When you take a look at the industry average, the Nikken compensation plan is not a bad comp plan, but each individual must be prepared to recruit.

In conclusion, Nikken seems to have a decent product line and the compensation plan would rate out as a fair in the MLM industry. If you don't mind having to get an average of 100-200 people on your team to make a $1000 residual check each month (which is pretty true with any MLM opportunity), then the Nikken business might be a great fit for you.

Get Ways To Ease Arthritis Pain

2009-05-13T02:39:00.001-07:00

Arthritis pain can be caused by many different factors and affects everyone differently. The inflammation process causes redness and swelling in and around your joints, over time it starts to damage the joint and the joint tissues.

A Startling Fact About Arthritis Pain Relief Creams You Probably Didn't Know

2009-05-13T02:37:00.000-07:00

Arthritis Pain Relief Creams

Arthritis Pain Relief Creams are either gels, patches, lotions or cream. They are applied directly to the painful spot by rubbing the product on the skin.

What worries a lot of people is the fact that they don't know the difference between arthritis pain and the simple muscle aches and pains. Understand that pain relief lotions target different areas and if you are hurting from arthritis look for pain relief creams that target arthritis. Same for muscle related injuries. Make sense?

Arthritis pain relief creams are different from ingestible products due to the delivery of the arthritis healing ingredients. Your skin is the largest orgin of the body and it will absorb the active ingredients deep into each layer of skin until it reaches the area that is in need of this pain relief. If you had swallowed the pills or capsules your blood stream will deliver the product to all areas or joints of the body.

Arthritis pain relief creams fall into 3 different categories. The 3 categories are: counterirritants, topical analgesics and capsaicin.

*Counterirritants

The active ingredients in counterirritants will either make the area (you rub with arthritis cream) feel warm or

cold. The ingredients have a way of giving you temporary pain relief by tricking your brain into thinking there is no pain.

*Topical analgesics

Just think of it this way: rubbing aspirin into your skin. You can get the same type of pain relief from analgesics that can also help you reduce joint inflammation.

*Capsaicin

Capsaicin is most effective to joints that are close to the skin because the minute it is rubbed into your skin you will get this burning sensation. These creams work by reducing a chemical called substance P which is part of your nervous system and it mains goal is to send pain messages to your brain. Substance P blocks that from happening which in turn helps reduce pain. This type of arthritis pain relief cream needs to be used regularly.

In our belief the arthritis pain relief cream you should be searching for will do the following:

1. neutralize free radicals

2. assist in healing blood vessles, muscle tissues and cartiledge

3. reduce inflamation

4. reduce stiffness and aches connected

to joint pain.

The arthritis cream products that are found over the counter usually help in one or two areas but it is hard to find one product that can help in all areas to help reduce arthritis joint pain. A couple of ingredients that work well together is Bryonia alba 6x and Rhus toxicodendron 6x. Both of these products help reduce stiffness and aches and they have been used for many years in all kinds of medical facilities. Oh, I forgot to mention that they help in muscles and joints and that is

why they are used so much in medical facilities.

We have reached a level of comfort with an occasional day of pain because we have followed this model: nutritional supplements, diet, exercise and rest. The days that it reaches higher levels of pain, we simply reach for our arthritis pain relief creams and rub it on. Kind of like that old commercial: "a little dab, will do yah".

Internal arthritic products (drinks, pill, capsules or powders) and external arthritic products (cream, jel or lotion) will help increase your comfort level and stop the arthritis pain.

Remember there is only 3 simple steps to arthritis pain relief using creams.

1. Open

2. Squeeze

3. Rub

That's all it takes with arthritis pain relief creams to stop pain dead in it's tracks. Are you ready to get started down the road to pain relief?

Warning: not all products will help you reduce your arthritis pain, but unless you give them a try you will never know. Arthritis pain relief creams do help a lot of people reduce muscle and joint pain but success rates vary. Best wishes to you and your arthritis pain.

Natural Remedies For Reducing Arthritis Symptoms

2009-05-13T02:36:00.000-07:00

Arthritis can really cripple you. It is a disease generally associated with aging, which results in breakage or death of cartilages of joints. Once the cartilages are destroyed, the joints do not remain dynamic any more. The effective rolling of bone over the joints is minimized and brittleness sets in. This can cause great agony.

Chief reasons behind Arthritis

Chief reason for your cartilage breakage is drying of Synovial fluid. It is a fluid found in the joint area, which lubricates the joint surface and assists in clinical motion of joints. Once this dries, cartilage turns brittle. New bones and spurs develop in the place and create tracts of unbearable pain. You become more vulnerable to it, as you keep climbing the age ladder. Hips and other weight bearing joints get more prone to inflammations and even the joints of feet and hand feel the arthritis onslaught. People try various means to counter it. Few are lucky in their attempts, whereas others are not.

Natural Remedies for reducing arthritis symptoms

Medical treatments based on a line of steroids, topical treatments, dietary treatment, acupuncture, surgery and a lot more are prescribed. Similarly, natural remedies are also being tried for the disease. Such remedies are known to have great influence in many cases. So if your joints pain a lot, show visible inflammation or makes it nearly impossible for you to walk or stand, you can go ahead with these natural therapies.

Massages

Massages always work wonders. So use olive oil almost each day overnight. Remember to massage very gently as a wrong slip of the hands can result in further aggravation of arthritis.

Moist heating

Moist heating is also considered quite effective. You can also look to heat the area of inflammation locally. After the process, indulge in either moderate swimming or walking, just as you complete this, get ready for cold packs. Doing this regularly also brings a lot of relief.

Impact of lukewarm water, lemon juice and honey

You can take some lukewarm water and mix lemon juice and honey in the ratio 2:1. Regular intake of this combination not only flushes out the toxin but also boosts arthritic relief. In fact, this is a great idea for weight loss as well. So if obesity has caused arthritis in your case, then this natural remedy will take care of two issues in one go.

Role of sassafras oil

Take sassafras oil, juniper, thyme, and rosemary sand garlic. Crush them and dilute them with olive oil. The ratio should be 10:1 for olive oil and the mixture. Warm gentle massage will give great benefits in the long run. However, it is important to note that Sassafras contains safrole which is carcinogenic in nature hence it is always prudent to select Sassafras oil cautiously.

Guggulu

Guggulu is an herb that has found great acceptance among the sufferers of the disease. The idea is to take guggulu with warm water each day after lunch. The relief is sustained and not overnight but then, once it begins to bail you out of the pain, the results are nearly permanent in nature.

Arthritis is a monster, but then natural remedies can help you fight it effectively!

18 Natural Tips and Tricks for Arthritis

2009-05-11T08:43:00.000-07:00

There are lots of herbs and supplements on the market for arthritis. Over the years I have found a few basic herbs, supplements and treatments that work better than all of the fancy combinations that seemingly come out every month. Here they are:

• Glucosamine Sulfate—specifically the Phytopharmica brand. It’s time released and very pure and works a great deal better than any other brand (so my clients tell me.)

• MSM- Works well when the body needs it for humans and dogs, cats do not tolerate this product very well. If the body is showing sulfur deficiency signs, this is probably a great choice.

• Knox Gelatin, plain—a supportive supplement, but not effective enough to use as the only supplement. A good choice if your nails and hair are thin and weak. Dose: One-two packets/day in juice.

• Burdock Root(Arctium lappa): Helps take calcium out of the little bone spurs and put it back to where it should be. This is a long term thing, but a good one. Good choice if there are liver challenges as well such as glaucoma, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, anger and resentment issues, cancer or alcohol consumption.

• Turmeric (Curcuma longa): The active ingredient of Turmeric is Cucurmin which is very penetrating for rheumatoid arthritis. has long been used as a powerful anti-inflammatory in both the Chinese and Indian systems of medicine. It is an antioxidant that is 150 times stronger than Vitamin C and is also used in cancer therapies. I would use this if you have some of these other symptoms: including flatulence, jaundice, menstrual difficulties, bloody urine, hemorrhage, toothache, bruises, chest pain, and colic. Turmeric comes in capsules filled with powder, in bulk (it is used as a spice in many kitchens) and as a liquid-filled capsule. The dose is 3-6 capsules per day.

• Wobenzym: These enzymes are kind of spendy, but I hear they work well. Wobenzym is the most thoroughly researched systemic enzyme supplement available to support your good health.

• Yucca root (Yucca aloifolia) capsules: Great for inflammation and swelling associated with arthritis.

• FrankincenseBoswellia carteri: Ayurvedic practitioners use this in arthritis for its pain-killing and antibacterial effects.

• Celery Seed powder (Apium graveolens): Helps break down bone spurs over time (like months to years.)

• Baldrain Plus is a special preparation of valerian root that is in coated tablet form. It is pretty effective for low back pain. I don’t know why it’s more effective than plain old valerian in a capsule. (It smells better than regular valerian, too!)

• Digestive enzymes such as Bromelain and papain are also very good for arthritis cases as many times the core cause of arthritis is poor digestion and absorption of food over a very long period of time. You can get these from foods (fresh pineapple and papaya) or in capsule and pill form. Papaya enzyme tablets are very cheap and taste great. Several with each meal are sometimes needed—especially if the meal has a combination of several types of foods.

• I have a special formula for old dogs, which I call my “Old Dog Formula” that works well for humans as well. It contains equal parts of Yucca, Siberian Ginseng and Ginkgo biloba. Makes an old dog new.

Also essential for minimizing arthritic pain:

• Exercise is very helpful in keeping the lymphatics moving and the joint fluids thin and lubricating. Swimming and water aerobics and hot tubbing are all good as these types of activities take the stress off the joints while allowing the muscles to work.

• Water—Drink lots of pure, unchlorinated water.

• Castor oil and clay packs can be used for drawing out toxins from spot places on the body.

• Essential Fatty Acids to the diet through fish oils, nuts, and flax seed oil. If you want to take a supplemental oil, I would recommend Udo’s Choice Oil Blend. It seems to work better than some of the other oil supplements.

• Eating for your blood type (www.dadamo.com) will lessen the inflammation and increase the detoxification.

• Magnetic Therapy: Get whatever you can afford including a magnetic mattress, appropriate joint wraps, spot magnets, and super mini magnets by Nikken—their magnetic bracelet works great for wrists and hand discomfort.

• Minimizing sugar intake and cut back on coffee and sodas which rob the body of minerals.

• Regular massage is really great to move toxins. The best massage oils to use for arthritis according to Edgar Cayce (one of the original intuitive healers) are peanut and castor oil.

• Far Infrared (FIR) heat is very healing and penetrating for arthritis of all kinds. Do saunas, get some sunshine, or use FIR wraps.

• Keep up with a great diet which is high in raw fruits and vegetables and cooked vegetables.

• Toftness Technique: This is a very special technique done by some chiropractors where they have a little drum coated with a light layer of talcum powder. They rub the drum to find the muscles in your body that need balancing and when the drum stops squeaking, it means everything is OK. This technique is awesome for back pain and scoliosis and for keeping your body in alignment so that arthritis doesn’t worsen. You’ll have to ask around for a practitioner that does this as they do not always advertise that they do this technique.

The trick is to find the right combination for you or the person or pet that you love and stick with it. When a treatment or herb therapy works, it usually is a staple for your lifestyle for the long term.

Magnetic Copper Bracelets - Relief Finally?

2008-11-20T04:34:00.000-08:00

Millions of individuals suffering from chronic joint pain, rheumatism and arthritis may finally find relief with magnetic copper bracelets. Several manufacturers have created designs featuring function and fashion with principles that date back thousands of years ago. Discover more about the combination of copper and magnets and how to pick the right one for your physical needs.

Why Copper?

Copper was initially used by the ancient Greeks and Romans after discovering that there seems to be noticeable beneficial effects on long term pain and other joint and muscle problems. Old civilizations have relied on magnetic fields for many purposes especially healing. As the years passed, other metals were also introduced and magnetized to properly provide magnetic forces that create environmental balance in the body. Copper continued to be sported by many star athletes and celebrities in the modern era which explains why the trend as well as the therapeutic principles behind still remains to this day.

Magnetic copper bracelets come in many styles and forms such as chain links and wraps and in simpler versions like cuffs. Copper is generally preferred by most people since its effects are believed to be more effective and potent compared to other elements like gold and silver. Copper is also considerably lightweight and very easy to work with so the bracelets can be worn anytime and anywhere. People then can expect faster and more noticeable results if they wear the pieces for longer periods of time. Copper is recommended to be placed near the affected areas.

Copper Designs

Skilled craftsmen and jewelers have made very attractive versions of magnetic copper bracelets so people get to have the best of both worlds by gaining therapeutic effects aside from the elegant luster on their wrists. Copper can be crafted and shaped into forms and patterns according to the specifications of the buyer. There are golf copper bracelets, hammered copper bracelets and other figures uniquely taking the form of a whip, vines or snake.

Getting More Stylish

More intricate designs include the addition of hematite beads and magnetic charms which also increases the overall gauss of the magnets. Some magnetic copper bracelets can reach up to 15,000 to 20,000 gauss. Other precious metals may be added like gold, silver and titanium. These can be meshed together creating a beautiful synchrony of colors and tones. Text and patterns may be engraved for a more dramatic effect. The good thing about copper bracelets is their waterproof properties so there's no need to remove when taking a shower or going for a dip.

There are sporty styles like the golf and tennis copper bracelets which come in quite handy for individuals prone to carpal tunnel syndrome and wrist anomalies. Sabona magnetic copper bracelets never go out of vogue for those who prefer a more versatile design. These can comfortably and fashionably be worn in any casual, semi-formal and formal occasion.

Price and Warranty

The price of magnetic copper bracelets depends on the size of the bracelet, the details and strength of the magnets. More powerful magnets do not increase the total price significantly except for the addition of more copper and other metals. You can find affordable models for as low as $17 which comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Very stylish and intricate designs will cost you a few more hundred dollars.

A Magnetic Healing Bracelet for Vitality and Strength

2008-11-20T04:31:00.000-08:00

Magnets have been shown for several centuries to be very effective in treating a variety of conditions. Arthritis, rheumatism, osteoporosis and many more are believed to be relieved with use of a magnetic healing bracelet. Are the therapeutic claims of thousands of individuals true? Can the jewelry really improve vitality and strength?

A Brief History

For several centuries, people have relied on magnetic healing bracelets as an alternative or supportive means to medical treatment. Hundreds of thousands of people have claimed to experience significant physical and mental benefits due to the ionic effects of magnetic fields in their bodies. Experts say that positive and negative charges or energies in the body are balanced by applied magnetic forces thereby causing a series of beneficial systemic results like muscle and joint relaxation, improved blood circulation, better oxygen distribution to parts and increased absorption of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. These processes are greatly needed for healing.

Aside from rehabilitative actions, magnetic healing bracelets were also known to strengthen body parts and keep them protected from damage or injury. Athletes and workers since the ancient times wore bracelets as they believed that these would help them recuperate and recover faster for rigorous tasks and activities. Today, the bracelets are still very much sported by millions of individuals of different ages and physical conditions.

Scientific Basis

With the use of a dark field microscope, magnetic jewelry has been tested to see once and for all the real effects and health benefits. A number of reactions in the human body were shown through the movement of electro-chemicals or ions as magnetic forces were applied. However, there were no definitive statements or accurate statistical observations regarding blood circulation, tissue perfusion and other healing processes. So to speak, the true effects of magnetic healing bracelets still have no real scientific findings so individuals can only see for themselves how the accessory might alleviate long term symptoms.

Some of the problems that magnetic healing bracelets are thought to successfully treat and relieve include migraine, arthritis, rheumatism, osteoporosis, tennis elbow, headaches, joint pains, back pains, general fatigue, poor circulation, depression, gout, cramps and other nervous disorders. Many athletes find that it couldn't hurt trying to enhance their physical condition and prowess by investing in the affordable pieces. In particular, golf and tennis players are frequent purchasers.

Effects and Side Effects

Magnetic healing bracelets should not be used to replace any proven medical treatment. These are initially sold as fashionable accessories or jewelry so people should be cautious about relying fully and expecting significant physical benefits. One big advantage about the bracelets is that these have no side effects whatsoever and individuals can wear very strong pieces at a time.

There is something that scientists call "magnetic field deficiency syndrome" wherein individuals experience problems like stiff shoulders, headaches, digestive and circulatory problems and fatigue. Dr. Nakagawa coined the term as he tested several thousands of individuals. 90% of the test subjects reported benefits from magnetic therapy while only 10% did not notice anything. The main cause is shown to be the imbalance of ions in the body. The application of very strong magnets seems to alleviate the problem to a noticeable extent. A magnetic healing bracelet can be safely tried by any individual in addition to traditional medicines only after they have consulted their physician.

Bracelets - Beauty For The Wrist

2008-11-11T09:43:00.000-08:00

Bracelet is a piece of jewelry that adorns the wrists. It can be made from different materials such as leather, metal, cloth, or even wood. Bracelets are not only used as adornments but also serve serious purposes such as an identification tag in hospitals and medical IDs that state a person’s allergies and illnesses.

Brief History of Bracelets

Bracelets came from the Latin word “brachile,” which means arm. During the Ancient Greek and Roman ear, soldiers wore bracelets made of leather straps that have gold and silver embellishments. Women soon followed wearing them, but instead of using arm bands as the men do, they adjusted the band to fit their wrists, thus, the bracelet.

Purposes of Bracelets

Bracelets are used for decorative purposes, and with the popularity of precious metals and precious stones, bracelets have become expensive. But there are other kinds of decorative bracelets that need not be expensive such as homemade bracelets, which are made out of a string and beads of different colors. Friendship bracelets have also been popular and are given as gifts to signify friendship. These are made not of gold and silver and gemstones but of leather or ribbons bound together to form a pattern and is usually made by the giver herself for the receiver of the friendship bracelet. It is said that a friendship bracelet is to be worn until it breaks off on its own or until the cords are worn out. If removed prior to these stated above, it means that the relationship has gone sour. Another story that comes with friendship bracelets is that the recipient of the friendship bracelet must make a wish, which will only be granted if and when the friendship bracelet is worn out and falls off naturally.

Sometimes a bracelet is used to mark personal moments in one’s life. This is seen in charm bracelets. For every pendant or trinket that is attached to the bracelet, it means a significant event or a very important incident in the wearer’s life. But for beautification purposes, some charm bracelets are created just for its beauty without a single trinket or pendant meaning a thing.

Another purpose of bracelets is to accentuate one’s style and identify. The most common form of this bracelet is the spike bracelets. Spike bracelets are usually made with leather with metal spikes decorating its side. This is more commonly used by the punk and heavy metal generation.

Bracelets are also used for serious purposes like medical ID bracelets and hospital tags. These kinds of bracelets often contain a person’s information like drug allergies and illnesses, which makes it much easier for doctors and nurses to treat the patient accordingly during an emergency. They no longer have to look for relatives and family members just to get the information of the patient, but relevant data are seen in the medical ID bracelets.

Customizing Your Bracelets

You do not have to buy bracelets from the mall or jewelry stores, you can create your own. There are many craft stores that have materials for making bracelets. They even include little trinkets and pendants that you can attach to it. They even have books with instructions on how to make elaborately-patterned friendship bracelets.

Ancient civilizations have relied on magnetic forces with the aim to treat a variety of physical anomalies, chronic body problems and diseases. Find out more how you may benefit and treat yourself 24 hours every day, 7 days a week.

About Magnetic Therapy

Ancient civilizations like Greece, Egypt and India believed that magnetic fields when applied to affected and injured areas of the body can heal and rejuvenate. There used to be so many uses for magnetic therapy bracelets up until the 1940s when effective drugs and medications entered the scene by storm. Although magnetic treatment faded from the scenes, millions of people and health experts continued to trust the numerous healing effects. At present, it is considered as a supplemental type of healing method. Although real effects have no scientific basis, millions have sworn to experience very good results after magnetic application for a period of time.

The Advantages of Magnets

Magnetic therapy bracelets are thought to properly adjust and balance the ions in the human body. Since ions are electrically charged, magnets can have a relative effect on these and the application of strong forces is suggested to cause a therapeutic environment between positive and negative ions. Experts believe that chronic pain, joint and muscle problems and other circulatory ailments result from the imbalance of ions. Magnetic therapy has shown to be a reliable, safe and painless alternative for those who may not be ready for drastic surgical and chemical measures.

Some of the advantages of wearing the bracelets most of the time include alleviation or complete absence of pain even in chronic states. Inflammation is reduced by re-establishing energy levels and improving blood and oxygen distribution in the area. Tissues, muscles and capillary walls relax which also results to pain relief. Other benefits include improved sleep, enhanced appetite, enhanced mood and faster recovery from illness or exercise. Some problems which have been reported to be treated well by magnetic therapy are carpal tunnel syndrome, migraines, headaches, arthritis and rheumatism. The bracelets are also thought to prevent osteoporosis.

Almost all models are waterproof and have a very secure lock or clasp feature to avoid accidental breaking or losing. You can safely wear the pieces in any occasion depending on the style you choose. There are affordable models specifically designed for sports while others are also classy and elegant enough that double as jewelry for formal affairs.

Wearing the bracelets not only helps during rehabilitation periods since these are also known to have preventive effects like ridding the body of toxins, boosting metabolism and enhancing digestion and absorption. The improved blood circulation to different areas exposed to the magnets causes enhanced healing and protection from harmful agents and infection.

Some people report positive results within a few days while others take weeks before they notice great changes in their physical condition. Over 140 million people around the globe are wearing magnetic therapy bracelets with studies showing a 75% to 95% success rate depending on the kind of physical problem.

Copper was also found to have physical benefits like muscle relaxation, improved blood flow and increased oxygen output to tissues. The combination of these two can then treat individuals more effectively.

Makers suggest that you place the magnet and copper close to the area you intend to treat. The wrist and arm can then benefit from muscle and joint pain and inflammation that may result from underlying and general conditions. There's really not much difference if you wear the bracelets tightly or loosely since it is known to have effects on the entire area around where it is placed.

The Look

Copper magnetic bracelets have a very simple yet fashionable appearance. The pieces can have lengths anywhere from 65 to 85 mm that can easily fit wrist sizes of 6 to 8 inches. Width is about 2 to 3 cm and thickness is about 0.5 to 0.85 cm. The bracelets simply form an unfinished loop without any clasp wherein the wearer can slip his hand or wrist through the open ends.

The copper loop is solid, has a bronze or rustic brown color and entirely magnetized accordingly from 1500 to 7000 gauss depending on the needs of the person. Since jewelry and other magnet-sensitive metals cannot be placed on the bracelet, the pieces usually have very simple designs such as a bangle or cuff. There are however, gold and silver-plated ones sporting various patterns.

The Price

Prices will differ depending on the size, materials used and gauss of the magnet. The higher the gauss, the more expensive the copper magnetic bracelet. The number of karats for gold-plated designs will also determine the price. On the average, simple copper magnetic cuffs or bangles cost about $30. Prices can rise up from $60 to $250 with higher gauss and addition of details and gold or silver accents. Almost all bracelets come in very presentable packages with some instructions on how to therapeutically apply treatment. A lot of dealers also offer warranty and satisfaction guarantee over a period of time.

Tips on Wearing Them

You may wear more than one bracelet at a time since some experts believe that higher gauss also results in more effective physical gains. Some people even wear as many as 4 to 5 bracelets at a time. You should know that these bracelets are primarily sold as aesthetic devices and have not been scientifically or medically proven to treat any condition or disease. These also should never be used to replace medical therapy for those undergoing any. It is best to consult your doctor first before buying a copper magnetic bracelet.

2008-10-11T05:59:00.001-07:00

Magnetic wrap bracelets are part of the innovations of magnetic therapy. More and more products are being made every year which incorporates that supposed healing effects of magnets. These accessories are very stylish and versatile as well so you can virtually wear them while playing sports, going out on casual events or joining formal affairs.

The Wrap

Magnetic wrap bracelets differ from conventional models in design. Common styles include cuffs and chain links but wraps look rather unique. These pieces are usually wider and may use other materials aside from metals to wrap around the wrist. Examples of new materials would be polyphrene, nylon and Velcro attachments. Some designs also include magnetic hematite beads systematically arranged in elastic bands to form anywhere from 4 to 6 different rows. The hand can easily slip through the bands for quick and easy wearing. As for nylon and polyphrene designs, magnets are simply slipped inside sealed pockets and cushioning. These models are ideal for sports and outdoor activities.

Features And Benefits

Magnetic wrap bracelets can still effectively provide large amounts of magnetic fields to affected areas. The gauss measures anywhere from 2,000 to 30,000 depending on the size and quantity of magnets placed. Another unique feature of these bracelets is the flexible magnets able to concentrate and focus magnetic forces more. Compared to conventional magnets, the ones used in high quality wraps can penetrate forces deeper into the tissues so polarization is better and people should expect faster and bigger gains and pain relief.

The bracelet can easily fit to either your left or right wrist. The piece is basically lightweight and comfortable to wear so you can put it on several hours everyday even while sleeping for better results. Wrist movement is excellent and well-maintained without the bracelet restricting or blocking circulation. Although the band has the same texture as a wet suit, it is completely breathable so you don't sweat on it. One advantage about the Velcro closure is that you can adjust the bracelet from your wrist up toward your forearm or upper arm to specifically target areas. Some versions can have as many as 30 magnets or more so be sure to check that the weight is comfortable enough for you.

Buying Your Magnetic Wrap Bracelet

You can find very affordable magnetic wrap bracelets for as low as $14.95. Special discounts and sales can bring the price down to $8.99. The bracelets come in different lengths depending on your wrist size but standard lengths are from 34 to 42 inches. You may order online as well but be sure to include specifications like the gauss rating you need, the material you want to use as well as the color and pattern if the dealer has many available. Most products come with a 30-day warranty period in which you can return items or have them repaired or replaced.

Magnetic wrap bracelets primarily use the principles of magnetic therapy. Millions of people around the world have tried the approach with a huge number also reporting very good effects. However, there is no clinical proof behind the true nature and beneficial effects of magnets so these should never replace or hinder progress from any prescribed medication or medical treatment regimen. Always consult your doctor before buying and immediately report any unusual symptoms you may experience while trying the method.
