“Video claiming UK study has found wearing wrist accessories can prevent paralysis.”
What FACTLY found
There is no study confirming that copper accessories cure medical conditions. The original report, shown in the screenshot from the viral video, actually focuses on copper bracelets and arthritis, stating there is no evidence supporting the claim that wearing copper bracelets has any benefit. The headline has been digitally altered to relate it to wrist accessories and paralysis.
