Magnetized Bracelet and Gout

I am not certain if wearing a magnetized wrist band was the reason why I did not suffer much joint pains.  Years ago after I heard that magnet can help relieve arthritic pain, I started to wear bracelets strung with small magnetized beads.  This remedy to get rid of body pain seems to be somewhat unorthodox to me.  But I do find the bracelet helpful in alleviating my suffering when the gout in one of my middle fingers flared up.

As I can see that I suffered a mild case of gout.  The prickly pain used to reside in one of my big toes.  Lately, it moved to the joint of one of my left finger knuckles.  When the needling throbs returned to the mid finger, I would cut down my intakes of proteins like the ones from sardines and stop taking B vitamins for a while*.

In addition to watching what I ate, to make the disabling pain disappear, I also wrapped the  joint with   a home-made magnetized bracelet.

In a recent flare-up, my bracelet worked like magic.  Miraculously, the pain in the finger disappeared almost immediately.
