Users of the Power Balance bracelets; Do you feel that Power Balance bracelets are a scam?

Recently Power Balance has come out themselves into the media and said point blank: "There is no science to back up our claims" they have also said: "That doesn't mean our bracelets don't work".

Many users still strongly feel these bracelets work including many professional sports players. Any of you using this brand of Mylar Holographic Disk? And, did you go through the "Demo" prior to purchase? And, do you feel a significant improvement in all or any: balance, improve synaptic function in the brain, enhance muscle response, increase stamina or flexibility?

    I have had my Power Balance bracelet for about a week now. and with that, in this week I have slept better, and I have better stamina when I am awake. In the store where I bought it I did the test, demonstration, whatever you want to call it, and I had immediate results even though I thought it was all in your head, then 2 hours after I bought it the company said they have no real science. But they do work. I can run longer. and Its just all around a great purchase.

    The human mind is an amazing thing. It can be stupid enough to fall for a ridiculous scam while at the same time have the power to fix the body through the placebo effect.

    Scam scam scam., just like Slick 50. Any help is in your head. Your brain can't admit you wasted the money. How in the world can something that moves around do anything balancing?

    I'm not a user. However, my brother who is knowledgeable of these sorts of things stated even though he isn't a user either, he has heard good things about the product. He is more partial to Phiten if that helps at all.

    I saw someone still lose his balance after the "test". I file this under the same category as Trion-Z and Iomic grips... a placebo item. My Trion-Z necklace was cool looking (red and black for my Huskers), but that's about it.

    its like going to the doctors, when you get there you forget what your ills were. just by talking to a confidence inspiring doctor you feel well. my brother in law was like that, i don't know how good of a doctor he is but i felt better. if it works keep going with it.
