Can copper bracelets prevent or cure arthritis?
Gerry: I spoke to you previously about vitamin supplements. Harry: Yes and I’m sure I told you that they’re a waste of time, a waste of money and sometimes they even make you sick. Gerry: I’ve got another question for you. I want to ask you your opinion of these copper wrist bracelets. Harry: These are very commonly used and they’re supposed to be protection against or a cure for arthritis and probably other things as well. All I can tell you is that there is no evidence whatsoever and that on first principles I would say that they have no benefit at all. Don’t waste your time and don’t waste your money. There is just no way that we are aware of that putting a bracelet of copper around your wrist could influence any disease under the sun, including arthritis. Gerry: I see, thank you.
