Next, we have an acupuncture mat that makes some truly, uh, impressive claimspic.twitter.com/3vv6xwtIfa
Then...magnetic healing spandex gloves None of this makes any sense whatsoever Also, lol at the use of "optimum magnetic field"pic.twitter.com/HUQvMX9Rmc
And last but certainly not least, a acupressure mat that claims to treat everything from high blood pressure to diabetes! This is where it goes from fun and silly to dangerouspic.twitter.com/3CEMG6ZWFF
The thing is, every one of these products is making a specific medical claim Some of them are innocuous, like "helps with weight loss" Some are more problematic, like "treats diabetes" But ALL of them are - as far as I can tell - totally unsupported
These are medical devices, being sold to consumers who will expect them to work medically Except, there's no evidence that they do or will
Also look at the nonsense @AliceEmmaLouise @cherryblack
Magnets for your toes to help weight loss?! Incredible.
My fave is the magnetic gloves that also help with weight loss and basically everything except using cutlery, which they are really shit for
They’d also help for when you’re assembling ikea furniture and you drop a screw. Other than that...
Omg maybe that's what they're for and the website just got it wrong
