A month ago, my father, mother, my wife and I were at my grandma's house to spend the Sunday there. My uncles and aunts were there too. My uncle who happens to be a doctor, showed us his new bracelet. It looked ordinary at first but it includes several magnets attached to it. My uncle said that it has certain medical benefits and may even relieve back pains and other discomforts. The sterling silver bracelets had a lot of designs for men and women. Some silver bangles for women had gold plating in it and an elegant design. Turns out that my uncle was actually selling these sterling silver jewelry at 500 pesos each, so, the entire clan bought one for every single member of the family.
Months before my uncle introduced the silver accessories to the family, my friend was invited to a multilevel marketing forum about a titanium bracelet that is said to give the wearer extra strength. I really do not believe it. They put the bracelet on the back of their necks and demonstrate to their prospects that it makes the bearer stronger than he was before. I think it was a scam because people who wanted to buy the titanium bracelet had to pay at least 7,000 pesos for membership and the bracelets. The flaw in their marketing strategy is that they did not explain how titanium makes one feel and actually stronger and several other medical benefits the bracelet has. As opposed to the magnetic silver jewelries, magnets have been used as alternative treatment for some illnesses and may improve certain conditions.
Personally, sleeping problems I have actually vanished and I was also sleeping better. My wife's sleeping problems were also cured because i have observed that she no longer have this insomnia type symptom with her.
