Hi. I wear a Q-Ray bracelet, and it may be all in my head, but I notice a slight difference in my pain level when I take the bracelet off for a period of time. It says not to wear anything metal next to the bracelet and since it's on my left wrist, I take it off when I go some where and wear a watch. That's when I notice a slight pain elevation. The bracelet is supposed to be worn on the wrist that you notice a difference in your pain. When worn on the left wrist, the copper elements are to be on the bottom side of your wrist, when worn on the right wrist the elements are to be facing up. At least that is what the instructions say. The instructions say to try the bracelets on either wrist for awhile and then determine how your pain level is when worn, it's either better on your right or left wrist. The bracelet is supposed to give off some kind of magnetic "force" that eases pain. The magnetic "force" comes from the two little "heads" at the ends of the bracelet cuff. They are kind of expensive, and you can get really fancy and get 14K gold! LOL Mine is just a basic stainless steel with the copper endings, but it was still kinda costly. As for scientific "proof", who knows, I just know that I seem to feel better with it on than with it off.

I always say, try it and see, you never know!

Hope this helps.

Sending a fond howdy to all my fellow fibromites!
(I hope I don't get banned for listing the name of the bracelet :nono: )
Love to all!
