I used to get very sore in my shoulders & neck while I was working at my desk. Now that I have my bracelet, I am pain free! I will never take it off!
-Melissa

After trying several things to relieve the pain in my joints and knees, I tried one of these bracelets. I loved them so much that I bought several in all different colors to match all of my outfits.
-Sarah

In my line of work, bracelets aren't worn by many men. I was given one of the mens bracelets as a gift and decided to wear it over the weekend. Now I don't care who makes fun of me at work, I'm never taking it off!
-Sam, LASD

I could barely get out of bed in the mornings from all of the pain in my lower back. After only 24 hours I could see a difference. Within a couple of days, my back pain was virtuallly gone! I will never leave the house without my bracelet on. EVER!
-Angel, CA 

Absolutely love them! Even if you are a skeptic like I was, try it. I was given one as a present to resolve some very serious pain from a hip that needed to be replaced. It gave me so much relief that I bought 10 bracelets from Angie to give to all of my friends and family. They all now were the bracelets.
-Kevin, CA

I was lacking energy and not feeling like my normal self. I felt tired all the time. I decided to go for a physical to make sure there wasn't a bigger problem that overworked and sleep deprived and they found nothing physical. I had done some research on alternative healing and decided to purchase a bracelet. I really do feel more energetic now. They really work!
-Tracy, FL

The turquoise bracelet is my favorite.
-Tiffany

I fell off a 25 foot high electric pole 36 years ago and have had pain everywhere since then. I have been trying a lot of alternative healing methods and this one not only was the most economic, but eased the pain tremendously! I saw a difference within a few hours. By the end of the week I was amazed at the difference.
-Tom

I sell these bracelets in my store and I can barely keep them in stock. I now know I have to reorder early to make sure I have enough in stock. Everyone who buys on tells a friend to come in and try one. I have picked up so many new customers that would never have been in my store if it weren't for these bracelets.
Sylvia, CA

I bought one to improve my golf game. I now am beating my friends consistently. They keep thinking I must be taking lessons or going without them. I don't want to let them in on the secret of the bracelet just yet. I want to win a few more games first. I can't believe these bracelets really work!
Dean, FL

I am 83 years young. I didn't think anything would help all of the aches and pains at my age. My grandaughter bought me a bracelet for my birthday and I feel like I can live to 103!
-Grams, IL

These bracelets are so beautiful. I own every color Angie makes and beg her to make new designs. No one ever guesses that it is a healing bracelet. I get compliments on mine all of the time. I have to let them in on the secret though.

History
Magnetic Therapy dates as far back as the ancient Egyptians. Magnets have long been believed to have healing powers associated with muscle pain and stiffness. Chinese healers as early as 200 B.C. were said to use magnetic lodestones on the body to correct unhealthy imbalances in the flow of qi, or energy. The ancient Chinese medical text known as The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine describes this procedure. The Vedas, or ancient Hindu scriptures, also mention the treatment of diseases with magnetic stones.

Sir William Gilbert's 1600 treatise, De Magnete, was the first scholarly attempt to explain the nature of magnetism and how it differed from the attractive force of static electricity. Gilbert allegedly used magnets to relieve the arthritic pains of Queen Elizabeth I. Contemporary American interest in magnetic therapy began in the 1990s, as several professional golfers and football players offered testimony that the devices seemed to cure their nagging aches and injuries.

Many centuries ago, the earth was surrounded by a much stronger magnetic field than it is today. Over the past 155 years, scientists have been studying the decline of this magnetic field and the effects it has had on human health. When the first cosmonauts and astronauts were going into space, physicians noted that they experienced bone calcium loss and muscle cramps when they were out of the Earth's magnetic field for any extended period of time. After this discovery was made, artifical magnetic fields were placed in the space capsules.

Benefits
Some of the benefits that magnetic therapy claim to provide include:

• Reduces pain.
• Arthritis pain relief
• Reduction of swelling
• Improved tissue alkinization
• More restful sleep
• Relief of stress
• Anti-infective activity
• Reduces risk of Cancer and prevention
• Speeds diffusion of ions and gasses through cellular membranes, e.g. lungs and circulatory system.
• Facilitates faster, more thorough chemical reactions.
• Increases lymphocyte production.
• Increases circulation with up to 30 percent increase in the body's ability utilize oxygen.
• Increases strength and endurance significantly.
• Reduces muscle soreness after workouts up to 80 percent.
• Boosts the immune system.
• Balances chemicals and liquids in the body.
• Enhances the action of endorphins.
• Maximizes the brain's ability to function. The brain contains minute particles of magnetic material which cause neural synapses to fire, and augmenting this magnetic field allows for optimal functioning.
• Creates a situation where the body becomes self-healing, the way it was meant to be.
• Improves the well-being of the entire body in all areas.

How it Works
There are two theories that are used to explain magnetic therapy. One theory maintains that magnets produce a slight electrical current. When magnets are applied to a painful area of the body, the nerves in that area are stimulated, thus releasing the body's natural painkillers. The other theory maintains that when magnets are applied to a painful area of the body, all the cells in that area react to increase blood circulation, ion exchange, and oxygen flow to the area. Magnetic fields attract and repel charged particles in the bloodstream, increasing blood flow and producing heat. Increased oxygen in the tissues and blood stream is thought to make a considerable difference in the speed of healing. There are very few side effects from using magnetic therapy. Generally, patients using this therapy find that it either works for them or it does not.

Why Ours Are Better
After doing our own research, we found that the quality and strength of most Magnetic healing bracelets on the market today were very poor. We only sell highly magnetic bracelets with a minimum of 3 strands. One strand, if highly magnetic enough may help with Carpal Tunnel, but not much else. 2 strands may work on the upper body, but 3 strand bracelets will work the entire body and help with increased energy.

J.A.C.K. Jewelry's Magnetic Healing Bracelets are handmade from the highest quality highly magnetic hematite magnets possible. The clasps are very strong and will not come apart without extreme effort. Most styles are accented with semi-precious stones to add to the healing qualities of the bracelets. Each stone has it's own special healing quality that is explained in the description of each style.


How To Wear Magnetic Healing Bracelets
Once you have chosen your bracelet, you must wear it consistently for the first 48 hours. Eat, sleep and shower with it on. After that, if you prefer, you may wear it only 8 hours a day. Most people coose to wear it constantly. Some people report a significant relief of pain and body aches within the first 24 hours. 

Sizing
Bracelets should be worn slightly loose. They should dangle right where the wrist and the hand meet with about a 1/2 to an inch of extra room.

Woman's sizes are:
Small: 6 3/4"
Regular: 7 1/4"

Men's sizes are:
Regular: 8 1/4"
Large: 9 1/8"

You will have the option to choose your size at checkout. If a larger size is needed than what is offered on the website, then let us know. Special sizes are available for a small additional charge.




Studys
Magnetic therapy is becoming more and more widely accepted as an alternative method of pain relief. Since the late 1950s, hundreds of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of magnetic therapy. In 1997, a group of physicians at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston , Texas studied the use of magnetic therapy in 50 patients who had developed polio earlier in life. These patients had muscle and joint pain that standard treatments failed to manage. In this study, 29 of the patients wore a magnet taped over a trouble spot, and 21 others wore a nonmagnetic device. Neither the researchers nor the patients were told which treatment they were receiving (magnetic or nonmagnetic). As is the case with most studies involving a placebo, some of the patients responded to the nonmagnetic therapy, but 75% of those using the magnetic therapy reported feeling much better.

In another study at New York Medical College in Valhalla , New York , a neurologist tested magnetic therapy on a group of 19 men and women complaining of moderate to severe burning, tingling, or numbness in their feet. Their problems were caused by diabetes or other conditions present such as alcoholism. This group of patients wore a magnetic insole inside one of their socks or shoes for 24 hours a day over a two-month period, except while bathing. They wore a nonmagnetic insert in their other sock or shoe. Then for two months they wore magnetic inserts on both feet. By the end of the study, nine out of ten of the diabetic patients reported relief, while only three of nine nondiabetic patients reported relief. The neurologist in charge of the study believes that this study opens the door to additional research into magnetic therapy for diabetic patients. He plans a larger follow-up study in the near future.

As of 2000, a federally funded study is underway at the University of Virginia . This study is evaluating the effectiveness of magnetic mattress pads in easing the muscle pain, stiffness and fatigue associated with fibromyalgia.

Magnetic therapy is also being studied in the treatment of depression in patients with bipolar disorder. A procedure called repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation has shown promise in treating this condition. In this particular study, patients with depression had a lower relapse rate than did those using electroconvulsive therapy. Unlike electroconvulsive therapy, patients using magnetic therapy did not suffer from seizures, memory lapses, or impaired thinking.
