Maybe you should wear one then.. Not only does iRenew give you better physical balance, its natural energy frequencies also help balance your mind and keep you at peace, gives you a whole new positive outlook on the world around you

Can't agree more with you, almost everyone I know are wearing these things, I can't help but see it as a sign of weakness (and somewhat laziness) when you have to wear a band just to be a better person.

No offense to those that are wearing it though, I just see these things as diet capsules, a supposed easy and quick way to get better, but there's got to be a catch somewhere.

I doubt they do anything, it is all in your mind. You believe it does something but in reality, all it does is create a belief that you can do something. It helps by creating that set of mind that you can do whatever you want without having any REAL effects at all.

Wasn't the company required to announce that the product didn't actually do anything and that it was all psychological? Not that it really needed to be announced

Not really sure how popular they are, but I follow bodybuilding and I guess the reason people buy them is because these companies pay the best bodybuilders to wear them. I'm guessing that's going on in a bunch of sports.

My sister has one and I tried it. It didn't do anything at all. But my other sister tried it and it worked. I'm atheist and she's super religious. Coincidence? I think not! :P Works for gullible people.

Uh, burgers don't make the same claims as the bracelets, but of course people can spend their money on whatever they desire. I'm obviously exaggerating a bit.

My friend had one of these and told me to wear it and do one of those stupid tests. Needless to say, it didn't help at all. It's definitely just a placebo effect. There are no "frequencies" emmitted into your body that make your life and balance better.

Shake weight actually gives you a good workout. It's a lot harder than it looks.

People are gullible, and deserve to be parted with their money (and whatever else they look as consequence). I'm jealous I didn't come up with it myself.

Yeah, some people are easily fooled into buying rubbish.

I would be interested to see out of those who have bought one, how many are religious and how many are atheist.

Didin't the ACCC (Australian Competition & Consumer Commission) Order the company behind those bracelets to pay everyone their money back becaue they deemed it to be a scam?

This bracelet is actually very useful. It makes it very easy to determine who's a total dumb ass.

One worde, Placebo. I tried one the other week, just for the heck of it, and although you do feel "something" nothing really changed, I didn't get better balance or mental stability.

Yea its really hard to explain, It could be placebo or it could be something else. Do you know the feeling of holding a magnet and you feel something pull it in, it feels a lot like that at times only on your wrist.

You mean magnetism, right? Yeah, I do. It seems a little strange. Mainly because it's only on one wrist. I don't know how it works, or anything.

If you look really closely on the strap it has the word "gullible" written on it...
