Power Balance bracelets
Anyone use these
http://www.powerbalance.com/
Thoughts? Wife wants me to try one, I don't sleep well...among other issues. I tell her I don't think it will help my "particular" problem that keeps me awake or my aches and pains. I just can't justify $30 either...
Do they really work?

Don't know anything about them, but the website sure looks like they're selling snake oil.
You might try the better business bureau ( they're online). They might have a report on the company. Sometimes they can find the outfit from just the web address.
Sorry that you're having aches and pains.

Probably more of a placebo effect than anything. But if you feel better or sleep better when wearing it, does it matter why? I bought one of the Phiten necklaces a few weeks ago. It is supposed to make you less sore after exercise, and a wole list of other benefits, but I haven't really noticed an improvement.

Well, the wife bought one and I told her I would wear it for her. Didn't sleep any better and I tried the tests on the box it came in and it was the same before and after. I think ya'll are right, it's mental.
At the same time though Stu has a valid point, if it works it works, why question it?

It's fraud if you can prove they are making false claims, I agree. However, if you're feeling better, why would you question the validity of it? If you get no benefit from what you buy, you should send it back for a refund.

While true, I was given the option to bring it back if I didn't like it. The descision I made was circumstantial based on that, plus it's a small mom and pop store that my wife works at.
I read about how it is "supposed" to work, regarding frequencies of the body compared to freq's emitted by the halogram in the bracelet.
FWIW though, I had one of the worst nights sleep last night in a long time, which I can't contribute to the bracelet.
I don't feel any better or worse, although my wifes boss swore by it and my boss here at the VA wears one and she said she has stopped taking her vitamins and feels great.
Maybe I'll make this a diary!....kidding.

If anyone attributes feeling better to the bracelet, it's only fair that those who feel worse should also credit the bracelet for feeling worse! I'm sure the claim would be equally valid.

Bruce, I highly recommend you do NOT buy one of these bracelets. Instead of it making you feel better, you'd make it feel worse.

Yeah, or it could be the 5 martinis after dinner. Or it could be the allergies really kicking butt. Or it could be the ingrown toenail. or it could be... I think you get my point.

I figured out the secret though to making it work...seriously.
On the back of the box in fine print it says "To achieve best results, add alcohol", and by God...it works!
