I tried one out today and they work mate, Honestly I have no interest in telling porkys it doesnt benefit me in any way what so ever that they work. I was just amazed that they do work as I more than anyone thought it was a complete and utter scam thats all I can say.

Ask about if anyone has one ask to try it.

Then you heard wrong. The people that work for CERN spend all day near enormously powerful magnets - with no effect on their health one way or the other. Only a very small range of things respond to magnets, and it doesn't include human bodies.

Tried it with loads of different things to see if they worked and didnt.

I was that much of a scepteic I tested it by putting the band in envolope and a rubber band of same size ish in a identical envolope so you could tell which was which and it still worked.

I didnt want it to work as much as anyone else coz in reality it shouldnt work but it does, dont ask me how but it does.

All I can say to any sceptic is try it and you wont beleive it honestly.

Going by what you say it might be worth a try then, even if it is difficult to accept.

Which just serves as proof (if it were needed) that being good at sport is not the same as being intelligent. Next you'll tell me that lots of footballers were them...

I wonder if after being pulled over for drink driving, would whipping on a few bands make you pass the sobriety test ?

Just to clarify I havent paid £30 for 1. But I have tried one the other day. As said on the website it gives you bettter balance and power/strenth within your inner core. Check it out on youtube, as said countless times on this thread I`m more than sceptical over these stupid scams but when you have had 1st hand experience with something you cant doubt it !!

TO EVERYONE THATS BOTHERED NOT BOTHERED OR JUST DOESNT GIVE A ****.
End of now I`m sick of talking about them, If you dont beleive they work either buy one and try it or just doubt what ive said and leave it as that coz it doesnt bother me 1 bit if they work or not simple. LOL

Just before you go, can you clarify that they a) improve your good nature and b) help with your sense of humor ?

Well my sense of humor has taken a bit of a kicking due to the post. My good nature is alive and kicking and thats why I posted this in the 1st place.

I kinda understand why ppl have said what they said as thats exactly what I said until I used one so no disrepect intended to anyone on here. As I`ve said Try one and u will also not beleive what is happening coz they do wk.

"...the company behind the £29.99 bracelet has admitted that there is no scientific evidence behind the claims, and that they are no more beneficial than an ordinary rubber band. It is now offering refunds to customers in Australia who believe they were misled, and will be changing its website, packaging and advertising to reflect the new, more accurate, message.

Their only use is as a placebo, and to spot the gullible suckers.
As expected, they fail in proper double blind testing.
Same goes for the magic blue tape that seems to be fashionable nowadays.

Now call me sceptical but this looks to be the biggest scam i`ve ever ever heard. I thought it was called the Placebo effect but I may be wrong. I`ve had a good look on the net and ppl seem to swear by them.

I Just wanted ppls thoughts, I don`t believe it but there are that many ppl saying it does work i`m starting to wonder now.

Don't bother. I have some magic beans that I can sell you.

Whatever you've got wrong with you, they'll sort it.
