Has anyone tried a Biowflow magnetic bracelet to help with their rheumatoid arthritis?

No sorry but make sure they are safe before you try any alternative methods. Hope it works if you do. . X

Yes, years ago. Had no effect whatsoever! Complete waste of time and money....although I did get a refund on mine.

Many thanks for your reply....probably will give it a miss then!

I took part in a double blind trial of magnetic bracelets about 15 years ago. I had to wear this copper looking bracelet for 6 months and record my symptoms. Neither I nor the researcher knew whether it was an active bracelet or a dummy one. The results were that there was an equal placebo response to both the real magnetic one and the dummy one but that this wore off after a few weeks.
