Gee, they look different to the ones you get in Bali

Never been a fan , even bought one to prove a point here on this forum (that they don't work) BUT.. hats off 17 million US$ and projecting 35 mil this year ....go son great idea even if it's Bullsh!t.I wonder how much they paid to get celeb's to wear them.They should have made smaller ones that fit around your D!ck , would have been in the 100's of millions.

BY the power of a sugar pill, if looks stupid it generally is

If the wearer believes that it helps, then on some level, I'm sure he/she is right.

Never bought one BUT. The closing line says it all. 'If you think it is good for you, then it is good for you'.

After doing some of my own placebo tests with a couple of identical watches with stick on PB Holograms a while back I concluded this was the case anyway. However I am a real believer in the power of the mind, to heal and to do. If you can convince or 'trick' your mind to think it can do something it usually can. The PB band for people that believe it 'tricks' their mind into having better balance etc.

Ask yourself the question: Would you pay $60 to feel better for a while? A massage costs $60-80 and lasts for an hour afterall. The real thing people are annoyed about is that someone else made a millionaire of themselves with it and they didn't.

Couldn't agree more CMC. About 10 days ago I was introduced to a guy with late stages of Parkinson's Disease. His career as a musician was absolutely shot but he still chose to battle on and inspire others with his life story. I noticed he was wearing a Power Balance band. He told me he was also trying quite invasive Chinese acupuncture. I was certainly not about to tell him that they don't work, that he was wasting his money or that he was a fool or a sucker.

Sadly, he is a victim of parasites that prey on desperation.

No. The real problem is that it is such a deliberate and obvious fraud. The whole thing is designed from scratch to steal money from the gullible.

There are no redeeming features. They don't say "Buy this trinket. It's a bit of harmless fun" They repeatedly and emphatically say "Buy this. It really works. Do not buy identical items at a cheaper price. They do not work."

The whole hologram/energy/frequency story and the test is a bit of ooga booga techo gibberish designed to confuse people. The makers deliberately and cynically put all that together to fuel the scam.

On a lighter note: A good friend of mine's missus said he is better in the sack wearing it. He has therefore been a bit luckier in that department lately.

Do you think he or she cares if the band is a deliberate fraudulent scam??

It obviously had no real merit from the beginning however peoples curiosity of the unknown and the vein hope that something other than sweat, hard work, pain and tears would make them better at something.

I know where you are coming from and like many other things that are simply not worth their money in any way it is only $60 if you pay full whack. Most people these days earn more than that in a hour, a round at many pubs is more than this, if it made someone feel better for a short period of time it was probably worth it.

As I say I didnt buy one and would have felt like a sucker if I did but for the people that got some kind of brain tricked placebo affect uplift I don't think too many of them would complain about being ripped off. They might say that $60 to have their mind think they had better strength and balance and possibly achieved things they couldnt before was worth it. The clever ones here will know that the band was a phony and they had added abilities all along and will convince themselves that they are capable of more than they thought especially now without it.

I am even for the rights of people that want to live in a world of Today Tonight expose the scammers mindset. Just do what makes you happy and if a bit of rubber with a shiny thing does that buy 10......

They work really well for me.









I can tell who's a gullible moron just by glancing at their wrist. Saves me having to have a conversation with them first.

I heard the story recently about Peter Brock and his HDT "Energy Enhancer" (or whaterever it was called) that he fitted to his HDT Holdens. Some Guru sold the idea to him and he started putting them in to his pimped up Holdens...

And then Holden revoked his right to HDT because it was too "out there".

And only today someone told me that this product has been proven to "enhance" a cars performance...

Anyway - a grt story and don't know how much is truth or myth..

Any comments?

Yes it was called the Energy Polariser, it was crystal based and Brock lost his HDT empire when GM in the States told him he could not claim that the product improved performance of the road cars as such claims could be challenged in court. Basically it came down to an insurance issue. GM withdrew support for HDT as a car manufacturer under the GM banner. So that meant Brock didn't get the base cars for souping up and he wasn't able to sell cars with multi year warranty.

Any evidence to support their claims? Just think how well a car must go if you use an Energy Polariser along with Firepower pills ...

wish i had thought of it 35 mill woof.

Not a believer but if it made girls think that I was better in the sack I'd wear one!

What a load of horse sh!t. Av gas is the only thing aditive that will make a car go faster with no mods. Even then you will need to adjust the timing (in an old car)

ah ah... avgas is not the only additive, there's many more. There's a few things you could do with tyres that don't require a mod either and by sealing a car better there's some extra kph there too... anyway that's not quite the topic...

and red paint job.
