Something cool I'd like to share

[CvilleMamaOf5]

Hey everyone, I don't have a question but yet something I'd like to share. I was recommended this band that promotes energy, balance, and a number of other things. I didn't believe it because it was one of those "too good to be true" things. But I tried it since the worst thing that would come of it was that it doesn't work...

I tested this thing with my blood pressure. Mine always runs a little high; I checked it and it was like 116/98 and with the band it was 112/68! I thought it was this machine at the pharmacy so I tried at the doctor and one at wal-mart. Every time my bp was lower!

I have also noticed a big difference in the every day aches and pains that I experience. My strength seems to be significantly better and I'm able to stay awake when I take my pain meds. I researched it and everything I found was amazing! So amazing that my husband applied for a job with them and got it. It's called "Energy Balance Gear". There are some little tests that they do for you to amaze you but what is really amazing are the things they can't test on you.

I could go on and on about the little things that I've noticed but I won't bore y'all with that. I've had my band for a couple months now and I just felt the urge to share it with others that may benefit from it. They go for like $30.00 online but since my husband works for them now he can get different deals on them and it comes out cheaper. I'd have to ask him the specifics on that if anyone wanted one. I encourage everyone who can, to check them out online and see what you think! There are a couple videos on their site and I found some on youtube as well.

Thanks for reading about my little bit of excitement. Check out the site and let me know what you think! Thanks! http://energybalancegear.com/

Hope everyone had a great memorial day and thank you to all of our troops out there fighting for our country...especially my brother! Love him to pieces!

I'm not actually sure if I need to appologise to you or not, i thought i was being friendly and giving you a heads up when i wrote...

"I hate to be the one to tell you this but these bands have been scientifically proven to NOT work, think plecebo effect."  

We do from time to time get people selling under the guise of a personal anacdotal story but that hadn't occurred to me that that was what you were doing. I was actually letting you know that "......any anacdotal comments you say about it could be perceived as advertising!" again i was just sending a heads up. I promise I wasn't accusing you, just warning you! Though i suspect my words could be what set off the ball rolling down the wrong hill, hmmm i'm sending off the wrong signals left right and centre lately, i'll try and be more aware in future.

Being a keep it real kind of gal, please please please do not let the few of us that commented as skeptics derail you if you believe this or any other product is doing something positive for you. I do know a few people who swear by them, they dont care about the science because for them its working, for me the science matters so it wouldn't work lol thats me!

HUGS..............JJ

I did not at all find your comment offensive. I have done research on these particular bracelets and have found the science on them. I didn't talk about that because I didn't want to seem that I was selling them. There are many out there that even the companies claim do not work. I've played with several and there is no science behind them...just a plastic band.

This one is different. That's why I decided to share. It's one thing to not believe me but another to accuse me of being something I am not. That is what hurt. We are all adults here and I felt that was not adult like. I thought that I was going to be able to speak freely and I thought this was a good place to share something like this.

I know everyone is going through similar things that I am and I thought maybe some would appreciate the food for thought. The company my husband works for sells other products but this is the only one I've tried and the only one I've spoken about. It definitely does not benefit me to try and sell them...he really makes very little off of them and that's why it's his job and not mine. :)

One thing to have a different opinion, another to accuse. Sorry if I've stirred up trouble, that's not what I meant to do. But I guess I have to say that I'm not sorry for sharing...Won't hurt me if they don't like it. :)

I'm so sorry that you feel let down here - if you reread what I wrote you will see that my position is it is not going to hurt you and if it makes you feel better, then go for it.  And I appreciated you being upfront about your husband.  

But you also know that what we deal with here on the forum is always rooted in the science behind the medicine and there is no science to back up the claims that these bracelets work.  As I said, my tai chi instructor swears by his, too.   I hope you won't take any of this personally - we're like any family and there is often going to be a difference of opinion.

hugs, Lulu

Hugs back to you!

Thank you for that. You know, if these people would just look at what I said and before they say something back doubting me, maybe they would understand. Trust me, I'm a very quiet person and it even took a lot for me to post ANYTHING here. But I did because I felt welcomed. I was just encouraging others to look into it. The WebMD site is very uplifting to me. Puts a reason to this technology.

My mother-in-law can pretty much tell you when it's going to rain by how she feels. I think she's nuts but she's usually right! lol. So, what works for one may not work for all but it's not worth being a prude just because you don't believe it'll work. Some say it's all in your head, and with some things that may be true. But also, when you think something won't work, a lot of times it doesn't. Works both ways. If you doubt something so much it'll kill the effect it may have.

Like I said before, I would like to be able to give a free one to people if I could...if there was someone in my area that wanted to try one I'd be happy to get them one or something.

My bad for speaking out of turn I guess... Not going to let it bring me down too much. But it was sort of a buzz kill. Didn't expect so many to be so negative. I certainly am a positive person and I try to portray that as much as I possibly can. I go through a lot of difficulties and I make the best of them. If I try something that works I want the world to know. :)

Thanks girl. :)
