Menopausal magnetism

Think you’ve got magnetism? You ain’t got nothing until you get LadyCare.

Normally, I’d reserve this piece for a Wednesday Bubble but it’s just too good to pass up for the beginning of the week post.

What is LadyCare you ask? LadyCare is a “small, discreet comfortable device….that attaches to women’s underwear.” Using patented technology, LadyCare relies on a magnetic field to stimulate blood flow, which then improves the “body’s ability to self heal and restore natural hormone balance.” What’s more, LadyCare “may prove to be one of the greatest natural solutions for alleviating menopausal symptoms.”

In addition to its  positive effect on hot flashes and night sweats, LadyCare promises to:

• Promote weight loss
• Improve skin tone
• Increase energy levels
• Improve the ability to control emotions
• Increase confidence
• Improve sex life

Evidently, wearing the LadyCare device has also been shown to improve blood sugar levels in diabetics.

Proponents of magnetic therapy (or bioenergy therapy) believe that magnets can penetrate the boy and correct disturbances in electromagnetic impulses that cause disease. In terms of menopause, the manufacturers of LadyCare claim that the magnetic field created by LadyCare helps to stimulate estrogen production.

Seriously, I am speechless.

I think I’d rather spend the $49.95 on a pedicure and a bottle of wine. Does wonders for that menopausal disposition….
