you ever get that copper fit gear?

I think the question everyone really has is does it do what it claims or is it just a stiffer version of a brace?

I have a regular brace for my bad knee that I rarely wear because it gets itchy after awhile but never got one of those copper ones because I didn't feel like spending extra money on something that might not live up to its claims.

it works for me, but I don't know if that's because of science or if it's because of my witch-doctor like ability. a placebo works as long as you actually believe it does. but I can feel can feel the copper conducting stuff so there's that

I've actually wondered if it's just because copper being a soft metal absorbs body heat faster so you end up sort of creating your own recycling heat pad with those things. Which would give it some scientific validity since heat eases arthritus issues. 

I wouldn't want to test the heat conduction in the winters around here though. -30'F freezes eyeglasses to eyeballs. :D
