A magnetic bracelet cured Peter’s knee pain. Could it work for you?

Sceptical grandad overcomes joint pain ordeal!

- By BRIAN WARD

PETER WALTERS (aged 66) has always been active. His family have been the centre of his life. But sadly, two years ago his life fell apart. First his wife passed away and then his health deteriorat­ed.

“I’d definitely say that I’ve always had a positive outlook on life, and never let things get me down. I used to have an office job, so tried to keep active outside of work. When my boys were small I’d take them to the park for a game of football and often take them cycling. When I eventually became a grandad I was over the moon. They all live close-by, so when I retired my plans were to make the most of the grandkids… take them on days out, spend time running around the park… all the things I used to love doing with my boys when they were little.”

A few months after retiring Peter noticed that his knees were getting more and more painful. “I’d shrugged off the pain before, but now I was struggling to walk down to the shops and going up and down stairs was agony. Then I noticed that my feet were becoming swollen and even my left hip started to give me jip. I felt like I was falling apart! I went to my GP and he said they were all signs of old age, general wear and tear.”

Peter told us “I’d worked all my life, and now at only 65, I felt more like 95! The painful days became more frequent, it was so frustratin­g not being able to do what I wanted to. Then, the day I had to let my granddaugh­ters down by not taking them to the seaside, I was just so upset. I’d lost my wife two years earlier and I know she would have told me to snap out of it and stop feeling sorry for myself. But it was not so easy to do, especially without her there to give me a telling off. I felt like I was a lost cause.

However, a few months ago things began to change for Peter… “One of my sons told me that a work colleague had tried the Bio-Mag Therapy bracelet for his aching joints and the magnets eased his pain so he suggested I gave it a try. Well, I told him straight, what an utter load of baloney. It wasn’t the magnets that were making his mate feel better, but a placebo effect. To be honest, I lost it a bit, and had a good old rant, but then felt terrible. I shouldn’t have been taking it out on him, all he was doing was trying to help. His wife tried to smooth it over and suggested I just give it a go; after all it came with a 90-day moneyback guarantee. So I said yes.”

I asked Peter if he had any confidence that it would work. “To tell you the truth I only ordered it to make my son happy and I had no doubt that I’d be sending it back soon enough for a refund. It arrived a few days later, so I wore it to keep the peace as I was going to my son’s for Sunday lunch. That night I forgot to take it off before going to bed and the next morning I didn’t feel the stiffness in my knees that I was so used to. I left it on, still telling myself that it couldn’t possibly work. But a few days later, I walked up stairs, and realised that I had no pains in my knees and that was the first time in months.

I asked Peter if this convinced him that it could work? “Not really, I just thought it was a coincidenc­e, but I thought what the hell, I’ll carry on wearing it. When my son came around a few days later, he commented on how quickly I’d got to the front door. I lied and said I had been in the hallway, when in fact I’d been in the back room. I wanted to be sure that the bracelet really was making a difference.”

“The cynical side still said it a was a placebo, so I took it off for a few days, to test it out! I couldn’t believe it – the pain returned!”

“Needless to say, I never take it off now. I admitted to my son that yes, I do now believe it works. I’ve even told my mates down the local pub about it, some of them laugh and tell me I’m mad. Who knows, it may be a placebo, but all I know is that it works for me. It made me feel like my old self again. It’s so good to wake up in the mornings pain-free and know that I won’t have to struggle to get down the stairs. I’ve started to get out and about more and I’ve even cleaned up my old bicycle and started going out on bike rides along the coast. It feels so good to live a normal life again.

I’ve been wearing it for five months now and feel better than ever, no more aching joints and I feel like I’ve got more energy.

And the best bit is the grandkids have got their grandad back! There is no stopping me now and I know Vera will be looking down and smiling.” The Bio-Mag Therapy Bracelet is available exclusivel­y from UK Direct Shop Ltd. You can order on their free phone number 0808 156 4998.
