BodyLinx™ Mail Call--magnetic therapy testimonial for progressive systemic sclerosis

Now, you know that at BodyLinx™ we don't like to toot our own horn when it comes to relief from pain. Oh sure, we'll yack all day about how fun it is to play with BodyLinx™ magnets or talk endlessly about the cool new styles we can create from the BodyLinx™ magnet kits.

But the medical stuff? Well, when it comes to magnetic therapy, we don't pretend to know all the answers or understand why BodyLinx™ magnetic bracelets might help people with their various aches and pains. We don't know why wearing a BodyLinx™ magnetic bracelet seems to reduce the pain of arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, or any other condition. We're just happy when we hear from someone who truly feels that their BodyLinx™ magnetic bracelet has completely changed their life.

Here's a letter that came in to our offices recently. I like this one because it's a first for us--nobody has ever written to tell us about relief from this particular condition. And it's always helpful for others with the same symptoms to hear what might work for them.

And so, here is the letter from Ifakemi O. in Sacramento, California, who suffers from edema due to progressive systemic sclerosis.

Dear BodyLinx™ friends,

I've purchased 4 of your bracelets and really love them. I wear them 24/7. They have significantly alleviated the pain and swelling in my ankles due to progressive systemic sclerosis. One of my ankles had been swollen for 2 years. The magnets reduced the edema in 4 days!Thanks for an amazing product--FINALLY something that actually works for a change!

BG here--see what I mean? It's cool to think that someone who has been suffering for TWO YEARS can get relief in FOUR DAYS. It makes us all smiley inside. :-)

I did a little research online and learned that those who have progressive systemic sclerosis often have swelling of the ankles, or edema. The blood isn't circulating properly--it gets all bogged down and this causes the tissues to puff up. So, if we go with the popular theory that magnetic therapy can stimulate circulation, it would make sense that it might reduce the swelling in a case like this.

I'm not a doctor. But I do believe that those who are writing to tell us that BodyLinx™ magnetic bracelets have helped them really do experience relief from pain and swelling.

It's a happy thing. ;-)
