What are Germanium Health Bracelets?
|
|
Understood to draw on the power of magnetism, the germanium health bracelet is considered to be a means of alleviating a number of bodily aches and pains. As part of a line of germanium therapy products, the bracelets are supposed to be especially effective in protecting the body from invisible radiation that is emanated from many modern devices. Along with providing protection, some proponents of germanium health bracelets also claim they can help heal damage that has already been done by radiation exposure.
In design, germanium health bracelets may be as simple or complex as the wearer would like. Some designs involve titanium bracelets that are studded with germanium elements. There are versions of the bracelet that are designed specifically for men, while others are designed for women. Germanium health bracelets are generally considered to be attractive enough to be worn with formal dress as well as with more casual clothing.
The concept behind germanium health bracelets is to restore a balance to the magnetic field around the individual. Purportedly, exposure to a number of devices, such as cell phones and other forms of wireless technology degrade this field. Germanium health bracelets are equipped with both a positive and negative pole that works to counteract the imbalance created by emissions from these sources, and thus reduce the harmful effects of modern living.
Along with providing protection for the individual wearing the bracelet, germanium bracelets are also understood to help with a number of ailments. Chief among the claims for the germanium health bracelets is that they can alleviate the pain associated with muscle strains and sprains, and may also help with the stiffness associated with arthritis. While there is no solid body of scientific evidence that germanium health bracelets actually work, there is a wide range of anecdotal testimonials made by persons who wear the devices. With many designs available at affordable prices, some may enjoy germanium health bracelets for their simple beauty.

This is common in the Philippines too. We can find people said to be doctors and they now use the GE method to cure patients and no medicines advisable according to them. They say this is an invention of NASA and cost more than 200USD. But no way to check its genuininess. - anon48785

Germanium bracelets have been a big boom in Japan. However, there are no scientific evidence to support their health claims. In fact, one of Japanese Government agency for wellbeing of citizens tested 12 bracelets from various vendors and they concluded that 8 out of 12 had purity of less than 1% (99% non-Ge) and few that had 96-99% range were expensive. Also, they have noted that some of the makers were making claims that were against Japanese Drug Laws (comparable to FDA standards in US), thus prosecution followed. I can see here similar claims being made, which I personally advise to review and reconsider before any complication with FDA begins. - anon35526

Many manufacturers include documentation with their products that will detail if anything other than germanium is used in the design of the bracelet. If no paperwork is included and the manufacturer is somewhat evasive about confirming the bracelet is really and truly germanium, take that as a sign and look for another bracelet made by another manufacturer. - anon23417

Dear Sir, How can I verify that a germanium product is genuine germanium? In other word, how can I be sure that a product that claims to be germanium is not just any ordinary alloy metal? - anon23277
