Did some reading on this a while back FWIW. The iron in hemoglobin (red blood cells) is weakly reactive to magnetic charge (has been demonstrated in a lab along with micro-graphs as evidence), but there are 2 kinds of charge - oxygenated hemoglobin weakly repels and hemoglobin carrying CO2 is weakly attractive. Most of the hemoglobin in the human body is oxygenated.
The magnetic bracelet idea works in the mind of the consumer as being a way to 'attract and to hold' RBC's at a particular site on the body, presumably for tissue repair.
But, if you understand how the cellular respiratory system in the body works this is a pretty dumb idea and, in fact, the exact opposite of what you would want to happen. RBC's deliver oxygen to all the cells in the body and collect the waste (CO2) and take it back to the lungs where it is exchanged for O2 again and the cycle repeats...cellular respiration. Assuming there was a way to 'collect and hold' RBC's to a given site (let's presume it is for the sake of, say, tissue repair), then we have to consider the following. A) there's only one task that the RBC's can perform (exchanging the 2 gases...the fighting of foreign bodies in the blood can only be done by white blood cells which contain no iron) and that B) any delay in the exchange process can and will only result in a delay of cellular respiration...not an advantage at all, and in fact, a disadvantage.
But, because of the fact that oxygenated hemoglobin is weakly repelled by a magnetic charge, even the implied claim that they can be influenced to stay at the bracelet's applied site by magnetism is wholly untrue. Only the CO2-carrying RBC's could theoretically be attracted to the site which of course, can be of no benefit and in view of the process of cellular respiration overall, that delay is nothing more than an interference.
