I bought necklaces and bracelets for myself and my kids and we all think they work. My wrists definitely ache less when I am wearing the bracelet and my son says he is less sore from pitching when he wears the necklace. We all like them!
Of course they work, if you also purchase some of the snake oil that goes with them and put them on while sitting under a pyramid.

How do you sit under a pyramid?
Since baseball is quite a mental game if the bracelets and necklaces work for a player so be it--whether it is true or not, it works for him thus that is all that matters

I have been wondering about them myself and a few people told me that they really worked. I just recently saw them in Baseball Express and have been thinking about ordering one for myself.
My husband started wearing a magnetic bracelet a year ago and the arthritis in his hand has completely disappered.
Now I just have to figure out how many necklaces are needed to cover the whole body!
Anyone else have any experience or knowledge about this?

How? Think about it for a while. I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually.
As to your second statement. So encourage people wasting money on quackery? If you're going to take that approach, at least find a cheaper placebo.
When they fused two of the vertebrae in my neck several years ago, a titanium plate and screws were used. I have more titanium in my neck than you will ever wear on your neck.
Knowing how often my neck, shoulders, etc. still ache, I feel confident in saying that a titanium necklace is just another gimmick to get you to part with your "gold."

I was wondering what those things were I saw on TV. Lots of players have them. Schilling has one. That's good enough for me. 
Heard the same thing about magnetic or copper stuff a few years ago. Scientific tests have never shown those to work. Many types of arthritis come and go.
Titanium and copper can't be magnetic (I believe), so how does it gel that all work?
Here's the rule: If someone sells it for profit, there will always be some proof that it works. If someone is dumb enough to pay money for this snake oil, they will always say it works.

You ole' rascal, you. Trying to introduce some science here?
Truth is, if you never step on a chalk foul line, you'll be fine.
Wearing a shark's tooth necklace and brushing teeth between innings worked for Turk Wendell.

That is true. Wendell had a nice career.
Apparently the titanium works better if combined with tourmaline. I read it on the internet.

quote:Thru history Tourmaline has carried a lore like status conjuring up days in ancient times when the stones released stress and uncertainty. Is this possible one might ask? Consider this - Birthstone:
Tourmaline along with opal are birthstones of Libra (Balance): Sept. 23 - Oct. 23. During medieval days tourmaline was thought to heal physical and mental disorders as well as prevent death.
Mystical power: Tourmaline is said to dispel fear, negativity and grief. According to legend, the tourmaline of all colors protects the wearer against many dangers and misfortune. Although difficult to grab a hold of precisely what is so popular about tourmaline ? titanium as a bracelet or necklace from a scientific or empirical standpoint there is no arguing with many professional athletes overseas and right here in the U.S. The Asian cultures and local sports athletes may be on to something here?.Only time and your feed back will tell.

Agree with TRhit on this one. My son uses a shoulder/sleeve thing that has magnets in it that he uses from time to time after he pitches and while he sleeps. Don't know if it really helps, but he thinks it does, so who am I to say it doesn't
The titanium probably works better if it connects solidly with the 90 mph fast ball.
DaddyBo -
I brought them a while ago for me and for my Dad who has had some health issues. Do they work, who knows, some days I think so. If your looking the ones you see most players wearing are from Phiten USA and they have their own site you can order direct from. They have bracelets also.
thanks guys...I might get one just to see how it works out.
Titanium is used in the medical profession quite extensively. Not as a necklace or as a bracelet but as a surgical implant to stabilize bones that have been fractured. I researched this a little and was surprised to find that the healing time for a fractured bone was no different when using either the common stainless steel pin versus the much publicized titanium pin. I did a little test on my own and think that maybe titanium does have some mystic powers. I have a pair of glasses that have titanium frames. I did a test wearing my glasses versus wearing no glasses ... and I can actually see better when I put my glasses on. .....Go figure!
You're KILLING ME, Fungo!! 
Are we talking about "rotational" or "linear" titanium here? 
I hit a golf ball much farther with a titanium driver than throwing it.
Fungo & Prepster, both on a roll...
