Copper Bracelets

[Buttons42]

Various bracelets are advertised for lymph drainage, would these or simply massaging lymph nodes be of any benefit to us.

First off, problems with lymphatic drainage - lymphedema mayoclinic.org/diseases-con... are rare with CLL. We have only 13 mentions of lymphedema returned in a search:- healthunlocked.com/cllsuppo...

Secondly, the ads for bracelets for a range of various ailments are poorly supported, if at all by science.

There are 59 posts returned on a search into massage:-

This one covers the topic fairly well:-

Massage therapists in cancer centres avoid the nodes and spleen of patients with lymphoma (CLL/SLL is the most common of the adult Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas). Of note, the SLL variant of CLL/SLL develops in a node and spreads from node to node, so you could argue that if any more aggressive sub-clones arose in a node, massaging that node might spread it faster.

It can't hurt can it? I wear a red cotton lace on my left wrist. It's said to keep demons away 😁. I'm quite the person of reason otherwise, LOL.

I'll give it a try.😀

I am a fan of the red lace on wrist, I attached a red ribbon to my bra strap, yes, got to keep those demons away.

Calquence on the other hand made them disappear in 2 weeks
