Q Ray Ionized Bracelet or Magnetic Bracelet

[NickelTitanium]

Has anyone used the ionized or magnetic bracelets? Do they work for pain as they claim? I know in Asia it was big about 10 years ago. Anyone know of website or other brands? Thanks.

That's a joke right? There is no medical proof they work, but the placebo effect probably comes into play.

I am asking a serious question. You mean to tell me that everything that occurred in your lives can be explained? If you don't know anything about it then don't comment.

I guess ignorance keeps you happy.

I believe that if magnets actually helped (aside from the placebo effect) then it could be shown in double-blind testing instead of just from anecdotal reports which are worthless for telling placebo from real benefits.

If you believe in supernatural forces, why would they operate through man-made (and mass-produced) magnets instead of mystic symbols or powdered animal glands? Shouldn't these spirits be summoned through personal rituals rather than a factory-formed token?

I'm agnostic (not an atheist) so I'm perfectly willing to admit that there might be unseen forces, this just doesn't seem like a credible way to invoke them. It seems much more in the realm of pseudo-science like wearing a pyramid hat to focus the alien enrgies onto your noggin.

Very nicely put, Dave!

I think it is fair to say that these bracelets can't work because of ionization or magnetic fields as these terms have been scientifically described. If you need a little more of either, just sit closer to you monitor! As Dave says, no one (with an open mind) can completely rule out the possibility that there are undiscovered forces/effects still out there. But let's not try to borrow credibility for them by mislabeling them with scientific terms. As another example, believers in astrology sometimes ascribe the claimed influence of the planets positions (on your day/time of birth) to their gravitational effect. Of course, the weight of the doctor that delivered you has more gravitational influence on you than Jupiter (so just how much did he/she weigh? ). So, claim that astrology is true if you wish, but please don't claim its related to gravity!

i don't think it really works at all.
