    How DUMB do these guys think people are? This is a company that sells ionized bracelets claiming to improve the well being of people. Here's their claim and website:

    "Traditional Oriental theories hold that there are two opposing forces Yin and Yang that flow through all living things. When these natural forces are blocked, you become unbalanced and unwell. When aligned, you perform at your peak.
    The Q-Ray Ionized Bracelet is designed to balance your own bio-energy in order to promote better performance and bring about an overall sense of health and well-being the natural way."
    www.qray.com

    I had to post this because this was too funny.

    What's hilarious is the basically claim that ionizing a bracelet unblocks your Yin&Yang flow. Other things that are ionoized and claim to do wonders for you include: Hair dryers, hair products, curling irons, straighteners.....so ridiculous.

    Though if they really wanted North Americans to buy into their bullshit, they should have given the bracelet a fancy ancient oriental name and look. That would have mistified the shit out of us and EVERYONE would have eaten it up.

    It shocks me how stupid these people are
    but then again the placebo affect could come into play.

    Actually, those principles are correct. Now whether the Q-Ray bracelet does anything about them, I have no idea. It will if you believe in it, t won't if you don't. I'd lean toward no, because the elites don't allow true health information to reach a wide audience.

    pretty flakey... even the tv commercials sound unbelievably vague... although I know a guy who swears they work, although I don't know how.

    My dad was going through some of his old things and came across a bracelet that is basically identical to the Q-ray. I'm not sure if it's ionized but it probably doesn't affect the Q-ray design's incredible placebo effect. So I suppose I just saved about three easy payments of 12.99, no?

    true. they do have copper bracelets though that absorb copper through the skin and into the blood stream and supposedly helps joint movement... maybe this bracelet uses pressure points? i do believe that it probably is bogus though...
