Why do some people use wearable magnets?

I was just reading my health book and I came across a statement that I have never heard of. Why do some people use wearable magnets to treat arthritis and painful joints? What is the purpose for wearing magnets? And also, why do golfers (or not just golfers) wear copper bracelets? What is the significance of wearing copper bracelets while golfing?
I was just curious as to why people do all of this as an alternative to paying for medications and what not.

Do those magnetic bracelets really DO anything?

I've heard some people say they actually do help with arthritis, or pains, well-being, etc, etc..they cost around -30 online, but I got mine at Piper's discount store for .59..I guess they were discount magnets or something..

If I put magnets in my shoes, will it keep me "grounded"? Or more "down-to-earth"?

Why do magnetic bracelets come with a warning for pregnant women? I understand the warning for people who have pacemakers, that's self-evident, but it never says why you should avoid magnets when pregnant. Any ideas?

I don't need any info on how these bracelets dont work and why they dont improve circulation -- i get it. The one I have supposedly releases negative ions to counteract all the positive ions the body takes on from ultraviolet rays, stress etc.

I am not saying that I dont want to hear if you "like" magnets or not, I just am not asking about opinions of magnets as a form of alternative medicine.
