Never underestimate the power of the placebo! Powerbalance were onto something, the trouble was that people demanded answers for WHAT WAS SO SPECIAL? Powerbalance responded with it being a "secret" power. Damn right, it was the "secret" that gave the bracelet it's effect. The product revealed to be nothing more than your own subconcious. Though, think about it, there is really nothing more powerful within ourselves than our subconcious. It controls our instincts, our behaviours and also the placebo. So really this product was genius for as long as the customers were happy with thinking that it had superpowers. Lesson learned: you shouldn't always know the answer to everything. Thank you, good day.

[@MightyJabroni]

+Loddentidster Well, as long as it is just about feeling better while doing sports, fine. Stupid, but fine. But when claims for health improvement are made, the fun stops.

[@SomethingAboutMars]

+Loddentidster He never said placebo, as that is a term strictly used in medicine. It is not a medication, it's a "think it you can be it" sort of situation. If you're struggling with power and balance, I'd suggest seeing a doctor over buying a bracelet. This is a fashion trend if anything, making huge claims and booku bucks. Simple as that.

What they do is to make u have more confidence and faith on whatever it is that u are doing, cause sometimes people dont believe in their own selves so they need to have some object that makes them believe that they have more energy, balance or cardio resistance. Its just a rubber band with a piece of paper inside that doesnt do nothing but make u believe in ur self.

The power exists within the mind, not the band, the band itself is not powerless though if you can use it to remind you and reinforce what you desire.

I thought it was the dumbest scam as well, until someone did the balance tests on me with one, it did make not a slight difference but a huge difference applying pressure to the exact same spot but taking 2-4 times the weight to throw me off balance, i got one and tried it on family members who had no idea what it was (so no placebo effect) and it worked on 6 out of 7 people

[@DovalMusik]

I think that reflector reflexes light in the body at different point to help improve your innerlight within you. Like how people use to wear diamonds and crystals along time go, it was for a meaning, it was not just jewelry. The third eye under your brain needs light and when you give it that light you start to feel power in your body. When there is no light for instance we get tired. The reflector reflects that extra bit of light in your body to give your body power and confidence then your muscles become alert making you balance.

It's not a useless thing. The power it has is dependent merely upon what you put into it. The same philosophy goes with crystals, people think crystals actually have innate capabilities but really it's the capability of the individual that becomes active because they are reminded of what they already have. Whatever you focus on grows, if you're entertaining the thoughts all day that you are now stronger and have more balance, you're going to attract those things merely by the action of telling yourself it will happen.

[@NEPHILIM-WARRIOR]

Look for the balance exercises and try them out with someone else. Just try to make strenght in both test, with the bracelet and without it. I tried it years ago with some friends and Im looking foward to another band. Honestly it worked for me. There are ion testers out there to know if your bracelet are composed with the elements needed. Hope that helps...

[@NEPHILIM-WARRIOR]

In kinesiology theres some treats to the body to make our muscles more flexible and also so much stronger with some strokes but those who knows how to manipulate the human body are kinesiologist in that and other ways. On other brand bands like (Power Ionics). Ive found some information that the bands contains some elements that produce Ionic radiation like 1k, 2k, 3k per sec. Making our circulatory system more fluid, releasing our chi/ki energy to make the body more flexible and get it working in optimal condition. On this brand (Power Balance) It might contain the ionic part in the holo sticker.

[@NEPHILIM-WARRIOR]

Oh ok tnx never tried that same power balance before. My wristband was kind of different I did a search and mine matched to a power ionics product. I remember doing a test on multiple friends xD Tnx for the info. :)

I think the hologram carry a certain frequency that gives you power & balance.

I then moved to Pennsylvania a year ago from California and still have a few of the insulation hologram sticker so I place it on the glass of my patio door and I can feel the difference even when it's 40f degrees outside.

I beg to differ. I did several experiments at the Eastern States Exposition and the band absolutely did what the vendor was saying. I even had the vendor turn around, move away, sit down and other things. After I purchased I tried the same test at home and got the same results. After several days of wearing the band I had stronger erections. At one point I felt kinda an effervescent feeling in my blood and I wasn´t thinking about the band at all. I don´t understand the technology and I heard that some bands use radioactive thorium. My band broke and I hope to get it fixed this weed with something that lasts. Silicone rubber breaks.
