I bought an SOS
Talisman pendant because after my doctorrecommend that I wear one I searched shops and the
internet and found thisto be the
easiest to get and it takes more information than any others soI feel secure in the knowledge that anyone who needs to
help me hasinstant access to all my
medical needs in any circumstance.

I have recently been
diagnosed as suffering from
basalararterial
migraine,
heart problems, and have had epilepsy
since 4 years of age (after fractured
skull.) I had a Medic Alert bracelet in
South Africa, but lost it rock climbing
shortly before returning to the UK. I feel
safe & secure in the knowledge that my
Medical history is on me at all times, no
matter what happens to me. The bracelet
never leaves my wrist, ever.
!Being a very active person despite
pretty severe medical problems, and living
an active outdoor life, my s/s bracelet is
the most reassuring item in my life. I know
that it will withstand rough treatment, but
still carry lifesaving information safely
inside for me. That has given me such
confidence and I unreservedly urge all with
medical or life threatening problems to get
a bracelet or necklace. Thank you so much.

I have Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and use
nasal continuous positive airway pressure
therapy when asleep. In the event of being
unconscious, my upper airway may be severely
compromised to the point of asphyxia. eg.
following an accident or anaesthesia.The quality of the SOS Talisman is
excellent.As well
as being a potential life saver it isalso a quality piece of jewellery.Roy D

My wife purchased
this for me because when I was diagnosed with an Atrial
Arrhythmia and had to take anti coagulant tablets she was
concerned that if I was in an accident I could bleed to death .
Now the information within my SOS Talisman would be readily
available to any rescuers. The bracelet is
very attractive to wear, my friends tell me that it is very
'Macho' so I feel confident wearing it. Norman Goodwin, La Drova
Barx, Valencia, Spain
I suffer from a
condition where I faint at the sight of blood or when I see
accidents, I have always suffered this and didn't think it was a
big problem until recently. I was out in a nightclub with 2
friends and a woman was bleeding on the dance floor, I made it
to the toilets but fainted, the 2 security men who were there bundled
me out and left me on a wall outside as they believed I was
drunk or on drugs, luckily I was with people but as I was in
unfamiliar surroundings I was very scared and confused. I
bought my talisman as a means of
security to me as I may pass out in the street when I am alone.Charlene Chapman,

My
step-father lives on his own in a flat. I go away quite a lot. I
need to know that if for any reason he is unconscious or
stressed and forgetful while I am away or indeed while I am in
this country that someone will know who he is, will be able to
contact me and will know how to treat him being furnished with
the information on his medication.F

"I
have worn my SOS Talisman bracelet ever
since I was diagnosed as a diabetic some 10
years ago, and my late wife wore one for the
final 13 years of her life.
I use it because, unlike some other forms of
SOS alerting jewellery, the Talisman system
lists all the details relating to my
conditions without needing to telephone a
central data bank for information and
advice. Nor is there an annual fee for the
service. Living in the Shetland Isles, as I
do, I am only too aware that mobile
telephone communication can be problematic
with significant areas of the islands
without cover. But no matter where I am, and
whether I am conscious and lucid or not, a
helper will always be able to read my Info
Strip to learn my personal, next of kin,
religion, medical, medication and blood
group, (mine is rare), details at a glance.
As a ‘First Aid at Work’ trainer for
the local FE College, I am often asked by
students which is the best system to use. Whilst
not recommending one manufacturer over
another, I do point out that the Talisman is
the one that I use personally, making
them aware of the telecoms problem at the
same time. Thank you for your service."
Barrington Stevens, Shetland
I bought the talisman
because I have a rare blood disorder and require a large dose of blood
thinning drugs. I feel safe in the knowledge that my
next of kin can be contacted straight away and that doctors know what
drugs I am taking, which could be life saving in the event of an
accident. I work for St. Johns ambulance and would advise anyone
with a medical condition to purchase an SOS Talisman.The Talisman is very good quality and has lasted very well.
I have worn it constantly for over a year now and there is barely a
scratch on it.I initially bought the silver
bracelet talisman and following my recent wedding bought replacement
inserts for change of next of kin and surname. R Vaughan-Lyons, Whitstable5

Bought for my wife to
replace her old silver SOS bracelet that had worn through on the
fastenings between chain and pendant as it has been worn non-stop for
appx 10 years. When opened the info sheet looked as good as new!
I know that my wife, as well as liking the bracelet as a piece of
jewellery, gets great comfort knowing that all details of her various
medical requirements are easily accessible to anyone who needs to
understand her medication status if she is incapacitated.D White5

I am delighted with it. I'm amazed how all
that vital health and contact information
can be stored inside the silver capsule. I
looked at other Medical pendants &
bracelets, but they either only allowed for
a small engraving which didn't provide
enough information, or required the
emergency medical staff to ring a number to
find out the essential details, which
wouldn't be practical in an area with no
access to a phone...
I bought a silver
pendant. It has the caduceus on one side
(internationally recognised by medics) and
SOS on the other, so I'd feel confident
about going abroad wearing this one.I have allergies to food, drugs and
preservatives. After a more severe reaction
while on holiday recently, I decided that it
would be wise to carry my vital health
information in some form all the time. It
has also given my family peace of mind! It
has taken me a while to get used to wearing
the talisman all the time, and initially I
felt a bit self-conscious, but it's one of
the best decisions I've ever made and the
silver is very pretty, too so it's just like
a piece of jewellery to me now. Only it
never comes off! Lyndsey

Excellent
quality. I bought ST11 -
Stainless steel ladies bracelet with St. Christopher on the back.
I bought the SOS talisman at my GP's suggestion. I have two
very rare brain tumours which are crushing my optic nerves, so I
am registered blind. Recently I got a rare heart condition too,
which means every time I stand up I get tachycardic, so I'm now
confined to a wheelchair.The talisman
really puts my mind at rest because normally I have to explain
what the conditions are as well as just giving their names, now
it's all written down so if anything happens I know the Dr's
have all the information.Mary

Excellent quality
- I've been swimming with my Talisman and it
has stayed waterproof. I have bought astainless steel
pendant (previously),
stainless steel bracelet(years ago),and recently a
gold plated pendant.
I have Multiple Sclerosis, and have problems
with falling, swallowing, and memory. As a
medical lecturer, I know how vital it is
that medical services at home and overseas
have information if I were to be found
unconscious. It has also been really helpful
when I'm registering with a new clinic, and
I can just show them my (long) list of
medications, rather than having to remember
them! In fact, the last time I fetched up in
a Walk-in clinic with an injury, the nurse
said she wished everyone had one of these!
In addition, I have promised my remains to
the MS Tissue Bank - their contact details
are on my SOS certificate, so that I can
contribute to important research even after
my death.

I cannot get out & about very well &
phoning different chemists to find a product like the bracelet was OK but
everyone I spoke to wanted me to travel to them which is not easy. So
finding this website was a godsend to me. It was quick & easy to use
and the bracelet arrived within 4 days. Its a wonderful service & long
may it continue. I try to do all my shopping via the Internet. Isn't
technology wonderful!
I also like the way with SOS Talisman you have instant access to the
information if you're in trouble. Other methods involve getting in touch
with a third party by phone or computer.
Mrs J Adams, Dorchester
I am prone to hyperventilating
and collapsing and I know how much this can worry the people around me.
The main reason I bought it was to reassure people and to ensure that
nobody would panic unduly over my condition.I
feel a lot more secure when wearing it, knowing that if I was to collapse
then I would still be able to let people know what was going on, since I
am afraid that if people don't understand what is happening they may treat
me in a harmful way eg. attempt unnecessary resuscitation. C Looser,

SOS Talisman is the best. I am 24 years old
and was worried that it would look old
fashioned, but I
was surprised at the modern range available,
everyone comments how great it looks.
I bought the
Silver bracelet with the
snake&
staff on the reverse.
I was diagnosed with Latex Allergy in March
05. 2 weeks ago I
went to England on the ferry
and on my return trip i took unwell, I was
on my own and had collapsed before being
able to use my Epipen. Thanks to the SOS
Talisman the staff
on the boat were able to see immediately
what my medical condition was and they were
able to administer my epipen. his gave me
time to get to the port were an ambulance
was waiting. The
ambulance was able to read all the details
on my SOS and radio ahead to the hospital to
have them on standby in a Latex Free area.
I spent 2 weeks in the intensive care unit
on Life Support. If i did not have my SOS
Talisman i would almost certainly not be
here today. ThankyouGillian GibsonNewtownards5

The product is sturdy and it has a
fashion side to it. It is easy to open
but it is also secure and won't fall off.
the stainless steel it is made from is strong and durable.
My doctor recommended I get one. this
was because I had to get certain medical attention if in an
accident.I looked at one or two products and settled for the
talisman, mainly because there are no monthly bills, I carry my
information for immediate help and it looks good.

I bought this for my husband
who has a metal aortic valve and needs to take a high dose of Warfarin
daily. He must not take aspirin as this has the same effect as Warfarin
in thinning the blood. 2005 was not a good year from him and he was in
hospital for five weeks, four of which he was on oral and intravenous
antibiotics every four hours, day and night. Needless to say, his
confidence has been affected quite dramatically. This was a surprise
gift and to say he is thrilled is putting it mildly. He was delighted and
you could almost see him visibly relaxing. So thank you.M Daly, Henley-On-Thames5

My SOS bracelet is just what I hoped it would
be, it's not too big so that it looks out of place on my wrist and it's
comfortable to wear. It's also very well made - very good quality! I am
extremely pleased and it's given me confidence and made me feel safe when
I'm out and about on my own!

Compared to another website (medicalert) I
looked at for a Talisman, yours was a lot better. Yours was very understandable,
very user friendly and gave you all the information I needed to know. You
also had a lot more choice of jewellery/watch type talismans.
It is very strong and will, I am sure, come in very handy if I am on my
own and I have an epileptic fit. Of course I haven't worn it for long
periods of time yet, but its looks hard wearing and I think I will
certainly get my money's worth out of it. I would definitely recommend you
to others who need this kind of assurance.
A Dowdeswell, Nottingham
This product is well made and
robust, a must when wearing it 24/7. I found it reassuring to be informed
before my purchase that a stainless steel one was a better buy, due to my
condition. Thank you.After searching many
pharmacies for a medical bracelet without any luck, I turned to the
internet and within a short time found your site, I also found it
informative and helpful. V EWebster, Welwyn Garden City
The
quality of the product is outstanding and is VERYrobustas it does not come off
whether in the bath or swimming, never leaks andthe seal is still great after
some 10 + (I've forgotten how long I have had
it!)years from new.
I have four
curvatures in my spine (scolocious), I amalsoallergic to both Aspirin
and Paracetamol and I take regular medication. Ihave found myself in hospital several times and all the
medical staffknowthat they can't remove my Talisman. With the allergy to
Aspirin it couldkill me and if it
wasn't for my Talisman I may not be here as on oneoccasion I was prescribed an aspirin based product whilst
unconscious. Ifit had not been for a
nurse that spotted my Talisman I could have died.That was just one of several occasions that the Talisman
has saved mylife. I do not need to
remember all my medication, orworry
that no onewill know if I have had an
accident and I NEVER go anywhere without myTalisman. ThankyouJen Williams,
Felixtowe.
The product (SOS Pendant and Chain) is first
class. That, however, is not the point. This is my second SOS Pendant and
Chain, the first one helped to save my life by providing information to
the emergency services when I suffered a heart attack.Unfortunately, the first pendant and chain was lost at the hospital when I
was having emergency treatment - the pendant may have been lost, but my
life was saved because they had all my medical details to hand.
I have, of course, replaced the pendant. R. Hamilton, London

I have to take steroids every

Excellent! I bought the Pendant as a gift for my Godmother who
had to have her spleen removed due to a medical blunder. She is on
medication and must not have certain drugs or they would kill her. It
gives me peace of mind as she does love to travel the world even
though she is nearly 80!A Bond,

I
brought the bracelet because I
am on medication which
suppresses my immune system and
if I was to have an accident and
needed to be operated on the
chance were unless I had anti-biotics
I would not heal very well, if
at all. I also have Type 2
diabetes, and although not
insulin controlled, I felt that
any doctor or paramedic would
need to know this when treating
me, if I was unable to tell
them. Although my husband and
parents know my medical history,
it doesn't mean that they will
be with me if something was to
happen and I needed medical
help. Also in a worrying
situation it is easy to forget
vital information. Wearing the
bracelet makes me feel safer and
happier, knowing that a doctor
or paramedic would be able to
treat me correctly with the
information that is given on the
strip. I also know that they
would be able to get hold of my
next of kin or GP if needed.
I find the bracelet easy to
wear, it is lightweight and does
not get in my way. It is
attractive, so can be easily
worn with any outfit. The only
time I take it off is to bath or
shower. Although there is a
watertight seal and it is
stainless steel, I feel happier
taking it off "just in case".
I would recommend anyone who has
a medical condition which would
affect how a medical
professional would treat you in
an emergency situation, to wear
a SOS Talisman. It could
potentially be a lifesaver! R

I
bought an SOS Talisman bracelet

I
bought the SOS bracelet for my

contacts details in the
bracelet, I'm hoping that
whoever finds her, will spot the
SOS Talisman
and be able to contact me or one
of the other contents listed.
She is also on a number of
medications, so the bracelet can
also help to inform medical
staff of her condition if
necessary.L Campbell, Southampton
This is the best quality for
people that have medical

one so she told me it was the
best because you could carry all
your medical information in it.
I have lupus, insufficient
adrenal, seizures and
depression. It is very important

Excellent - I didn't expect it
to look so good! I thought it
might look clumsy but it really
suits male or female.
I have had a tumour removed from
my pituitary gland along with my

take are life saving - obviously
not having any adrenal glands I
have no adrenalin naturally so I

of it but I really feel proud
that I am protecting myself and
alerting others - my family are
very pleased I have got it too -
it really could save my life.

I
bought the stainless
steel SOS talisman
necklace plus an additional pack
of forms, key ring etc.
I have diabetes together with
spinal stenosis and have already
had a replacement hip, and as I
am not that old (56) if I had an
accident or some other
misfortune (i.e. a hypo) I was
afraid that I would not get the
treatment that I needed and I
feared my spine and hip would
suffer from wrong handling. I
have a friend who is a Paramedic
and he suggested that, as I take
a lot of medication and
different sorts, it was
advisable to have some form of a
talisman so that paramedics and
doctors etc could see at a
glance what treatment was
necessary. I find that the stick
on labels are really useful, (he
advised I put one near my front
door, which is where the
paramedics look for them) and
also on the fridge door, all to
help get the best treatment
without any delay.
I feel so secure now and
relieved that I have this
protection.H Hirons, Brompton on

Brian, I am so glad I ordered the Zodiac SOS
Talismans! They are worth the extra delivery time. The machined steel has
a nice urban, industrial look. The small size is a relief. You should
say on your site that they are the size of a Canadian or American nickel
(5 cent piece), understated and elegant.
One of the Libra talismans is for me while the other assorted five are
heading out to California, Vancouver British Columbia and Winnipeg
Manitoba to my family and friends. This is a great product. Cheers C

require medical treatment. It is very difficult to speak when having

This is our
second Talisman we have bought and we would not
go elsewhere to buy a similar product.
The quality and service is excellent.
Our first purchase was a pendant and recently we have
bought a bracelet.
The Talisman is for our severely disabled daughter and she wears
it with pride as a lovely piece of jewellery.

I purchased anSOS talisman earlier last year, it saved my
life, I am a St
John ambulance member and didn't wear it at first but am glad
I started wearing it as I
was found unconscious due to being
anaphylaxis against strawberries and latex. I
also knew the paramedic which helped. Thank you for your interest,

It was a one-off purchase of
something that may possibly save my life! J Webb, Loughton
I have had a Talisman for many years now, and
as a wild life photographer I tend to get into a few scrapes now and then.
I am on permanent medication for a previous accident. The Talisman has
certainly worked for over the past few years. I never, and I mean never,
go anywhere without wearing it.
My wife who is also my researcher/assistant has recently decided, due to a
new eye problem, that she should also have one, and she will.
Who ever thought of it, THANK YOU. J Fairclough, Merseyside
The talisman bracelet makes a
nice piece of jewellery. It was
delivered very quickly and the

I have recently been
diagnosed as suffering from

safe & secure in the knowledge that my
Medical history is on me at all times, no
matter what happens to me. The bracelet
never leaves my wrist, ever!Being a very active person despite
pretty severe medical problems, and living
an active outdoor life, my s/s bracelet is
the most reassuring item in my life. I know
that it will withstand rough treatment, but
still carry lifesaving information safely
inside for me. That has given me such
confidence and I unreservedly urge all with
medical or life threatening problems to get
a bracelet or necklace. Thank you so much.

I purchased a silver bracelet for my son. He
has many medical complications and has a severe reaction to latex. I
was advised by a nurse at Gt. Ormand St. that it may be beneficial for
my son to wear something that would alert people to his condition. When he is rushed into hospital,I
am always asked what his current medication is. Now I do not have to
rack my brain to think of names & doses.
It also enables us to alert any medical staff our agreed views about
resuscitation.Added to all the above, it
looks quite trendy so he did not object to wearing it!!Thank you also for all the handy tips

Was anambulanceman
& would always look for on a patient for information on
unconscious patient to give some idea, what may be causing the
condition. So when I found I had a Epilepsy, my wife purchased a
Talisman bracelet, so it could stop her worrying when I was out on my

I have had
gastric surgery (lap banding) and felt it important anyone would know
how to deal with the band in an emergency. The quality is great neatly
made and fits well together.
I actually like that it is easily identifiable because it might be
missed if it looked like ordinary jewellery. Some others I've
seen are almost disguised by beads etc and as a medical worker myself
I would not look at them but the SOS talisman is clearly an alert
signal and I would check any patient if they were wearing one!
I wear necklaces but am not a bracelet person so the pendant looks
great.I feel safe and almost proud to wear
it!P Thornton,

The
quality of the bracelet purchased is excellent. Strong ,secure and
still good looking even after being on my wrist constantly for the
past 5 years or more. I have
hydrocepholus , and some years ago had a relapsand was taken in to hospital.I was
not in a coherent state ,and i was not at that time wearing an SOS
talisman.This led the hospital staff to
come to the incorrect assumption that I had
taken an overdose.After this i thought it
prudent to purchase some way of letting people know of my illness, in
the event that i could not . I feel
that i now have peace of mined knowing that i am wearing the SOS
talisman.S P Lowe

SOS S/S bracelet- snake & staff:
Fantastic finish & built like the

I liked the fact that data is INSTANTLY

tough that steel was! The length needed to
be shortened, & I was just barely able to

clear and makes it an attractive piece of jewellery I bought my SOS
Talisman as I am disabled and take several potentially toxic
medications. I worried about being taken ill and being unable to
communicate. I chose the Caedacus because I travel a lot and it is a
widely recognised medical symbol. Now that I have my talisman, I feel
much safer and far more confident about travelling alone.A. Kavanagh, Peterborough5

purchased the wrist watch talisman as I am a outdoor pursuits type of
person and I don't wish to have a chain or bracelet flying around.
After being recently diagnosed with Diabetes type 1 I have been
concerned that if out and about anything should go wrong people would
want to know what to do. This gives me peace
of mind and directs people to contact and further info about me to
help. It has never been off my wrist since. I also have other
allergies, I would recommend everyone should have one even if it is to
give some contact details in an emergency.L

The SOS Talisman is very good. I had a

allergies to certain medicines can be accessed straight away.
From my mothers point of view,she

out fishing on her own with the knowledge that if she were to have an
accident she would be given the correct treatment as she is allergic
to the the most common drugs given to people of her age.

Excellent and very secure. Looks like jewellery so I am happy to wear
it all the time. I bought a stainless
steel bracelet (twice!) - one for me and then one for my mum.I have an allergy to penicillin, have an under-active thyroid,
and a blood clotting disorder which requires me to carry a card around
in my purse. The bracelet gives me extra security knowing that its
with me always, whereas my purse might not be.My mum is diabetic and has the same blood clotting disorder so
when she saw mine she wanted one so I got it for her Christmas. R

The SOS bracelet proved to be of the highest quality, it is very
functional & looks like any other piece of fine jewelery, so blends in
with any outfit I am wearing. Having been recently diagnosed with a
heart condition, I felt it was important to have the details available
in the case of emergency. I feel comfortable and confident now, and am
certain it will prove invaluable (although I hope I never need it). My
sister has also been diagnosed with an allergy to ibuprofen, so I
purchased another bracelet for her, hopefully it will help in the
event of an emergency. B. Andrysiak, Severn, USA5

Excellent. Exactly as

bought a Stainless Steel SOS Talisman (with Christian Cross

if anything were to happen to me, I am now at least carrying relevant
information concerning my health and medication, as well as contact
details. I feel more confident knowing that I have the Talisman round

activities I need to.A CollenetteSouthampton5

I
have had a diagnosis of epilepsy for the last 18 years. I have
partial-complex seizures with secondary generalised seizures. The
generalised seizures present as most people think of epilepsy. that
is to say I fall down and have a 'fit. However, the complex-partial
type differ from the common perception of what epilepsy is. During
this type of seizure I do not loose consciousness entirely and may
act rather strangely. On many occasions this has led people to
believe I am drunk of have an entirely different medical condition -
most commonly a mental illness. of epilepsy. Although I have had
epilepsy for this length of time I have only very recently purchased
the SOS silver bracelet. Even then this was with reluctance. The
reason for which was that essentially I had been 'instructed' to
wear one by my employer.
HOWEVER, even though this
purchase was made with an initial reluctance I am NOW SO PLEASED I
made the purchase. I have realised that I now have the security of
knowing people have access to vital information in the event that I
do have a seizure.
It's purchase has made me face
up to my condition - who would have thought the wearing of a
bracelet could do this? More over it's purchase has also made my
friends and family feel more secure. I also find that it is
aesthetically pleasing and personally I think looks rather nice on
me! What more could I want? Security for me, friends, family and
colleagues plus a good looking piece of jewellery which lets face it
not every other person in the bar will be wearing.V A Dyke, Kilbarchan
I
bought the Stainless steel
bracelet with sos talisman on
one side and the international
medical sign on the other. Also
the pack with the keyring fob
and the sticker for my car.
My brother has the same
allergies as myself and we were
both recommended to wear them by
the Ear Nose & Throat clinic in
London.
I bought the talisman bracelet
because I have many allergies to
food, drinks medicines, perfumes
and animals and have suffered 2
mild anaphylactic
reactions. It would appear that
this is a family trait as my
brother has the same allergies
although he suffered a severe
anaphylactic reaction. Wearing
the bracelet gives me confidence
that wherever I am, should I
have a reaction then anyone
around me would be able to act
in the correct manner and
possibly save my life.The talisman jewellery is
well known and therefore
provides me with safety net so
as to enable me to carry on
every day life with confidence.E Lumsden, Dunstable
I bought the bracelet
because I am taking several drugs to treat heart and lung conditions.
If any of these drugs were stopped suddenly my life would be in
danger. I feel that by wearing the bracelet, in the event of an
accident the chance of this happening is greatly reduced and this
gives me peace of mind and a sense of security every day that no other
product can offer me.Mike
DuroSalisbury
I
have an unusual medical
condition and other products I
looked at just wouldn't explain
to paramedics what was wrong or
what action they should take. In
fact one company actually argued
with me that they knew best and
wanted to put standard wording
onto the pendant they were
trying to sell me.
With the talisman I am able to
give the information I want to
provide so I am more in control
and more confident of receiving
appropriate treatment.
I can also change the
information easily if my care
need changes.
The pendant and bracelet are
attractive and don't look out of
place whether I'm going out for
an evening or going to work.
When people lose consciousness,
first aiders or paramedics will
always check airways and pulse
so I am confident that the
important information will be
found.

Those who are unfamiliar with
the SOS system are amazed by its
contents and immediately
reassured of any action to take,in the event of an

I personally wore my first
pendant as a BSAC diver before
my medical condition was
determined and would recommend
any person partaking in any form
of potentially dangerous
activity to wear one, relative
to medical conditions or not as
the case may be.
Be safe and at least carry your
blood group and a contact name
and number. R Ladson, Wigan
