Fact, Fiction or Scam ?

I don't believe it but having said that I wear a magnet for hot flushes and that works. I know because if I don't use it, the hot flushes come back with vengeance. Weird science I call it.
What magnet do you wear? I have had prostate cancer and my hormone treatment gives me constant daily hot flushes. So willing to try anything

Its just what they call a lady care magnet. It may work, a magnets a magnet I would have thought, male or female. Hot flushes are horrid. Hope you get some relief from them and that you recover from prostate cancer.
 
I’m glad I found this post I came really close to buying it, but didn’t press the button to confirm the order because I suddenly thought £31 is a lot of money if it doesn’t work. I also thought if it does what the said in the article I read,(helps with weight loss was what it suggested) you’d think it’d be all over the news and social media as the perfect cure, but it’s not. I’m so glad I had doubts

I've just seen an ad for this product, and am not particularly impressed. HOWEVER I do wear a magnetic bracelet and have worn one for many years, and it has been transformative for my dodgy knees, to the point where I could stop taking daily glucosamine (recommended by a GP, who says it is effective in 4 out of 5 people), and no longer consider my knees dodgy! So maybe, just maybe, the bracelet might help regulate blood sugar - but I'm not going to buy one!
 
No amount of ions or magnetism are going to help my knees @Mrs Redboots . They need replacing. I do know people who wear copper bracelets and have said they have felt an improvement, but I suspect their knees were not mechanically damaged. . I’m Glad your knees are much better.
The post the thread is referencing is 100% a scam, designed to part people from their money.
 
Then I hope you get the replacements asap, and don't have to wait too long for them. A very nasty recovery period, I gather, but after that it's brilliant!
 
I remember buying bracelets for my daughter when she was about 5 and suffered a bit with travel sickness.

Complete rubbish, but worked incredibly well as a placebo. We spoke the other week and she mentioned them - she is now 20 so obviously knows it was all rubbish but thought it was a great idea as the travel sickness stopped immediately.
 
They aren't a placebo - they stimulate a particular shiatsu point in the wrist (P9, I believe), which reduces nausea from almost all causes, but they are mostly used for travel sickness. I've been using them for years. I did think at first they were a placebo - but on occasions, I've forgotten to put them on and then wondered why I had started to feel sick! As soon as I realised I wasn't wearing them, and put them on, the sickness abated. It can't be placebo, as I hadn't realised I wasn't wearing them. I believe they don't work for everybody, but they do for the vast majority of people!
 
As soon as she knew that they were a placebo they didn't work anymore.
