You have every right to think what you think and I agree with you, it probably is a sham. However, unless it's proven, it's not.

the onus is on NRG Ion Bands to prove that their product:

* - Is capable of delivering ION energy to the body through negative ion's (sp) and titanium
- Results in faster absorption of ION energy (what ever ION energy is)
- Increases blood flow
- Increases circulation
- Revitalises red blood cells
- Neutralises free radicals
- all through high amounts of negative IONS
- Was the cause of Benji having a blinder during the 9 game streak

How about all the ads for skin cream that makes you look 10 years younger? All the weight loss programmes that tell you that you can lose weight by just sitting on your fat arse and taking their product? How about all the film stars that lend their names to these products. Are any of them proven to do what they say they do? No.

I am sick of the nanny state that some of you guys are advocating. Poker machines, grog, cigarettes, dairy products, red meat etc. etc. If people want to abuse their bodies, spend their money, eat what they like, then that is their business.

If someone wants to sell something let the market be the judge.

Next time you are watching a game of golf on tv, check out how may players are wearing these wrist bands. Maybe they do do something.

Yeah, probably fatten their wallets from endorsement cheques.

and whats wrong with that?

Never said there was anything wrong with it, just that's probably the only effect those bands have on them.

If you play some sport, why don't you try one and see. Then you can criticise one way or the other.

My mate had one. I "used" it during a couple of training sessions for indoor to see what the rage was about and it did FA. Any effect it has is merely placebic (sp?)

I thought the wrist bands the golfers were wearing was in support of Phil Michaelson's wife and her battle with cancer (Don't quote me though)
 
In any case, I'm not calling for the bands to be banned altogether… I just think there should be a little truth to the advertising.

If they seriously believe a piece of rubber is going to optimise your blood circulation (I don't know if everyone else sees the irony in a rubber band improving blood flow,) and such they really should be forthcoming before and give a little proof before chasing reputable names to promote the product.

I'm not saying take them off the market, if you've done your research and you serious believe they will aid your fitness and overall well being go nuts, but to list a few bullet points along with buzzwords like "maximise," "ion" and "revitalise" without any remote proof of the actual capability is just wrong, and is exploiting a suggestible buyer.
