Would you trust a doctor who wore a copper magnetic bracelet?
I thought those things were medically unproven and pointless. They are supposed to help joints.

- hell no i would not
- They DO help joints! Yes, in fact I'd be uplifted at her/his good sense and lack of timidity over exercising practical holistic treatments. I usually go to an allopathic doctor for diagnosis (insurance covers that), then to the health food/herbal store for natural, holistic treatments (and pay out-of-pocket).
- Not really. I wouldn't trust any medical doctor that believes in alternative medicine.
- How do you know it's not a gift from someone he/she cares about? Did you ask?
- It could be a gift from a friend, or maybe it was from the doctor's grandmother who died. It could have a sentimental value over medical. Sure I'd trust them.
- My doctor has a track record with me, a very good track record. He could wear a Zulu headdress and tell me to swing a dead chicken over my head while standing in my front yard and I would probably try it. A copper bracelet wouldn't even register on my radar. Let's say you are right and the bracelet is useless. Did you know people are cured with placebos everyday? Yep, sugar pills cure people all the time. Your mind and body can do some very remarkable things when you let them...
- Copper is non-ferrous and can't be magnetic. As to why he/she wears a copper bracelet you would have to ask them. Could be they just like copper.
- Can't hurt; might help. Nothing wrong with non-harmful alternatives.
