I use a Nikken magnetic pad on my bed
I am the type of person who doesn't believe in infomercials, thinks that the people who buy stuff off the tv like that are just foolish...
I used to put these magnetic things in that category until my husband's coworker let me try a pad for free
Cut my back pain in half
I was in a car accident about 10 yrs ago and my back has never been the same. Phsyical therapy didn't work, the doctors told me that they can't find anything wrong with me...
I was miserable until I started sleeping on the Nikken

I too use magnets on my lower back for pain from a car accident. Lyme has made the pain unbearable at times. I wrap a high quality magnetic "belt" around my waist and the pain starts to subside within 30 minutes. I usually sleep with it on when things are bad.
I don't know much about the bracelets.
The magbets I use are ceramic. The Nikken are also good.

I am a fan of Pulsed Electromagnetic fields (PEMF). You can make your own device with a degausing coil and a high power audio amplifier. It works for migraines and arthritis.
Nikken developed a way to arrange static magnetis so that they behave like PEMF. Most of the wrist bracelets are so wimpy they will likely have little or no effect.
I have told people about the magnetic treatment devices (both static and PEMF) and get reports of success all the time. Magnets have been used to treat illness for over 2,000 years.

Hi Bob, Your device sounds really great- I'm desperate right now and have quite a bit of pain in my hip and knee. The only prob. is that I have no idea what to buy and how to make it. Could you be a little more specific. Thanks SOOO much!!
