Q-Ray ... a bracelet for those who believe in the placebo effect.

Wow, maybe, Q-Ray would like to use that slogan for their advertising.

I think it would look much better around your neck.

A friend of a friend's dad is the inventor. He's insanely rich and so is his hot daughter. We called up the hotline one time while intoxicated and tried to get the inventor on the phone. As you could expect, it didn't go so well. Oh yeah, it's total BS as well.

This is why the commercials don't say what it does.

Believe me, I was confused when I saw them too. You see dozens of people in the span of 2 minutes tell you that it's great and works wonders but are never told what it's supposed to do.


Edit: A guy at work has one but he can't really tell me what it's supposed to do. He seems like the type that would have to have one just because of the commercials.

it aligns the magnetic field in your body, you dumbasses. after several years your normally-oriented magnetic field becomes distorted by all the electronic devices we're near every day. you must wear one of these to straighten yourself back out. you can add 10 years to your life!

This only works if you're a Pisces, other star signs must crush a 1/8 ct birthstone to powder and inject it into their forehead.

Google "placebo effect" then hang your head in shame.

How do you know that you're not mistaking placebo effect with a beneficial medical effect that modern Western science cannot detect?

Ah, a Buddha-powered bracelet filled with New Age goodness? That is not how it's being pseudo-scientifically marketed, so that's not the effect they are claiming for it. Lord Buddha needs no "ionizing"!
