Question 1

if a person has lipodermatosclerosis, can a magnetic bracelet help or hurt them?

Accepted Answer

Unclear: Certainly wont hurt worth a try.If this problem is vein related it can be remedied seek a consultation from a vascular surgeon.

Question 2

is it advisable to wear a magnetic bracelet 5 years after having undergone angioplasty?

Accepted Answer

: Although not sure what you mean by "magnetic bracelet", would see no harm.  Presence of a pacemaker, limits use of MRI equipment however, but unlikely that a small bracelet would be risky, and sounds like this was a vascular procedure, not a abnormal rhythm circumstance?

Question 3

will a magnetic bracelet effect my titanium surgical screws negative or positive?

Accepted Answer

No effect: Unless you have a much more powerful magnet, then it is even unlikely.

Question 4

can high blood pressure  be treated  with magnetotherapy  (magnetic  bracelet )?

Accepted Answer

The power of magnets: I wish I could tell you the scientific community and FDA and ACP recommends magnetic bracelets to treat high blood pressure but I can not. There are no proven studies that show magnets are superior to treat htn than the proven studies that show the DASH diet, cut down on Etoh, stop smoking, diet exercise and yes medications to treat high blood pressure. So wear one for fun but heed the docs advice

Question 5

what are your thoughts on magnetic bracelets to help reduce pain??

Accepted Answer

Not proven helpful: The magnetic therapy products sold to consumers have not been proven to help arthritis pain. Little magnets are sometimes sewn into elastic braces. The elastic braces may help support one's limbs or joints but magnets do not provide any additional benefits. However, pain is very subjective, so if a person believes she is doing more to treat his pain by buying magnets, she may truly feel less pain.

Question 6

does copper, or magnetic bracelets really work for pain, or is it snake oil?

Question 7

is it safe to wear magnetic bracelets after heart bypass?

Accepted Answer

No effect on bypass: Coronary artery bypass surgery attaches a separate blood vessel to the blocked coronary artery, at a point beyond the blockage, to resume blood flow to the the heart muscle. Magnetic bracelets should not affect bypass surgery. If there is not an electrical medical device that might be altered by having magnets nearby, then the bracelets should continue to have no noticeable effect on one's body.

Question 8

when should i wear an id bracelet?

Accepted Answer

ID bracelet: You should wear an id bracelet if you have a condition that can cause you to go unconscious and unable to tell others your medical history.  Id bracelet would give people -- including doctors & nurses -- some idea of what's happening, even if you cannot be interviewed at the moment. Makes help easier to get, if something should happen that you need it.

Question 9

is the irenew bracelet really helpful?

Accepted Answer

No, but...: The energy-enhancing items (like bracelets) sold to consumers have not been shown to help consumers. However, one's feelings are very subjective, so if a person really believes he is going to feel better by buying a bracelet and wearing it, he may truly feel better. The person these bracelets are most helpful to is the seller, as he gets to put more money into his bank account.

Question 10
