    You made my day.

    Back in the 80's it was copper and magnets; in the 90's it was rose quartz.
    why don't the livestrong bracelets contain a Ti wire?
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    Well, people claim lots of things good and bad to hawk their product. Get the necklace if you like it.

    As for helping recovery or from muscle soreness... welllllll.... It itself doesn't do much just as magnets do nothing for you physically.

    Now if you believe its going to help and are so sure, it may help with your psyche. Better attitude, better emotionally and just better all around for your mental state, it may help. WHAT??? yes your mental state can have direct impact on your recovery and healing process. The placebo effect.

    If someone can recover faster beacuse of placebo effect, by all means go for it. Its far better than taking drugs with side effects or surgery. I'm all for placebo effect.

    Joining in the fun -

    I had two cochlear implant surgeries just so I can have magnets in my head to make me feel better and faster! Oh yeah, the powerhouse is all titanium! I feel the POWER! And it ONLY costs me $90k for the pair!

    (All silliness aside, I do have two cochlear implants by Cochlear www.cochlear.com, and I do have magnets to hold the coil, and I do have titanium parts...all you have to do is look at the pictures. Insurance covered the surgeries.)

    Livestrong bracelet doesn't need anything more than yellow whatever it is it's made of! I've been feeling really good since I put mine on again.

    Except for my sore leg.

    But wait.....

    I was feeling pretty good before I put it on too, except for my sore leg!

    I do like the yellowness, though. It makes me a little bit happier just to be able to see the sunny yellow color at any given moment!
