magnetic ball bracelets

This ridiculous ad was published in the September 1999 issue of One Spirit, the monthly brochure distributed by One Spirit, of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, a Book-of-the-Month Club affiliate. As far as I know, copper and zinc don't increase circulation, and, even if they could, wearing a bracelet would not cause significant amounts to be absorbed into the body. The idea that magnets "restore the body's energy flow" is also ridiculous. (It might be interesting to ask how the alleged "energy" is measured.) The product appears to be an attempt to exploit widespread hopes that copper bracelets and magnets are effective against arthritis pain.
