Good to know. I was curious about them and it is interesting to hear that they can make things worse. I should have guessed that, since my own skin can't tolerate most metals! I can only wear titanium earrings and cant wear rings! I would be very hesitant to recommend something that might make things worse AND costs so much! I am curious, do LC's in Italy suggest them ever or do the mothers just generally do this on their own? I was contacted by a woman in this country who is marketing them over here, but never followed up. I just couldn't see recommending them.
