I mean, no wonder it's so expensive. Copper cures all aches and pains and is just magic, I guess, especially when combined with tight straps and especially when included in rigid material that holds the back in place.
Wait, what? It's the pressure that eases the back and wrist and knee pain, and not the copper? Is that why my compression socks help despite the fact that they don't contain any copper? Or is their lack of copper depriving me of the relief I could be getting? Could someone explain to me exactly HOW copper is supposed to ease pain- what is it about the chemistry of copper that gives it pain-alleviating properties?
I still maintain that copper is the Stone in the Soup of Pain Relief. Pressure increases stability and relieves pain. Adding copper increases....the price. And those copper wristbands? I put them in the same category of placebos, rabbit's feet, etc.-- believing that they work may make it so for some people.
This is using tension to reduce stress, and there's nothing new about the use of back braces. Considering that a lot of these ads are more than a decade old, there's nothing new about Copperfit's scam, either.
