This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Went to a gun show at cal expo. Two guys were touting the wonderful effects of the bionic band. Our buddies were tested and sure enough, it works. Went home that evening and googled bionic band scam. Read more into it and apparently it falls within the realms of "kinesiology". Basically in a nutshell, mind over matter.

At first, you don't know what to expect when they "push" you, or pry your fingers apart, or even tapping your drink with it. . . It is truly amazing at how gullible folks can be, and to be able to fork out the money for nothing.

I tried this at home with my son. I found an old barbie braclet that my daughter had lying around. I went through the same routine and the guys. Only, i told my son that the bracelet had some real powers that make him strong. Wouldn't you believe it. . . It worked.

If truly an amazing products, your local physical therapist would endorse the product. Oprah would endorse the product, your own personal physician would endorse it. This is just another mlm scam to let bring in money. Trust me, it will work with anything you wrap on your wrist. Just give it the "magical" powers that may be speech and you will find that they mind over matter does work.

It is the speech basically that your mother and father stated. . . "you can do it if you put your mind to it!. . . " good luck to those who still believe it works. Use your money to buy something that truly is beneficial.

I bought one of these years ago based on the salespitch of balance and strength. After a week, my arthritis was gone. I wore it faithfully for years...every so often taking it off when I got in my hot tub. Sometimes I'd forget to put it back on...and a few days later I'd ache really bad in my joints...put it back on...few days later I'd feel better. I went thru the same cycle many times with the same results...and each and everytime...I did it without realizing it until the pain reminded me...so no...it's NOT mind over matter...there is something REAL in that little piece of metal...

I saw these Bionic Band guys in Sturgis - They said it would cure anything. I knew it was scam. I am glad I checked it before I spent $150 . How are they still in business?

Here is what I know. I am 45 yrs old and just recently took a hard physical labor job. I have lifelong neck and back injuries from car accidents when I was younger. So, taking a job that required bending, stooping, lifting and stacking 40-50 lb. items for 8-12 hrs. a night was out of the question. But I was desperate to get a job after being unemployed for six months, so I took it. It was literally killing me! I thought I would be crippled before I got my first paycheck! I bought a BionicBand a year ago, then lost it and just re-found it about a week after starting that job. And guess what? I am still working! I am, by no means, pain free but my recovery time has increased 100% since putting on the band. Now some of that can be written off as getting used to the job but remember I was ready to quit before I re-found my band. Like the coach on the first page said, could the increased performance be psychological? Yes, but so what. Improvement is improvement. Could you temporally trick yourself into mimicking the effects of the band? Sure, but are you going to remember to do that 24hrs a day? So, psychological or not, I feel and increase in performance when I am wearing the band. And as far as people making money selling them or it being an MLM, I have no problem with that. In fact, I have considered selling them myself. They would be an easy sell based on all the testimonials here and my personal experience!

No, but some proof would be nice rather than completely made up claims, and people making money out of selling a placebo.

As for having my panties in a twist, this is a compalint board, yet you have your panties in a twist so much that you have searched for it, and come on here to post up more garbage promoting it to ill people.

the fact is that there is zero evidenc ethat this product has ever provided any health benfits, any improvements are placebo or coincidence caused by other circumstances. Ill people are being conned, you thin that's ok I think it makes the salespeople ###. If they have not got the integrity to find out HOW the product is supposed to work (which is psuedoscience of the highest order) and ensure that there is actually some evidence it does a damn thing before peddling this garbage then they are simply out to make money from ill people. ###.

If you think you don't need the band to actually have any way of working, but that the band is responsible for any improvements despite having no way of making those improvements you are an idiot. As the Chairman of the ACCC in Australia said about a similar product, you might as well wear a rubber band for all the good it does.

Fangio you have really got your panties in a twist over this Bionic Band. I could really care less what you think of my attitude. Sounds like you are a little Anal retentive and need to have absolute scientific proof before you want to try anything. Well you poor little man. Tell you what You have your opinion and I have mine and I plan to continue enjoying the Bionic Band and telling everyone I know about it. Because for me it WORKS. And really that is all that matters.

PS, I know Bionic Band have absolutley no evidence that it works because their UK Distributor pulled his website when the ASA said he either had to provide evidence of his claims or change his site. Didn't have any evidence so pulled out.

No, unless you have scientific proof then selling it to ill people as a possible alleviation for their illness is plain wrong! What's difficult to understand about that?

No for a placebo effect you do not need to know what it is meant to achieve. In addition, for it to be put down to the band you woudl need to show how it did it, and discount any other potential reasons for improvement. So the anecdote whilst heart warming is completely and utterly useless as evidenc of a band with no actual science behind it whatsoever having had an effect.

Every double blind placebo test carried out by every independent body has shown the band has no effect. Bionic Band have zero evidence that the band "aligns" the protons, zero evidence that such an alignemtn would have any effect whatsoever, and zero evidence that it does a damn thing to alleviate pain or improve balance strength etc, so they are charlatans selling ill people an item whihc has NEVER been shown to have improved anything. It's a con, If you think that onmen shoudl be allowed to sell whatever they like with zero credible science behind it to ill people you are a seriously devoid of any morals. Seriously I find your attitude sickening.

So unless you have scientific proof it can't possibly work. What kind of a ###ic idea is that? For it to have a placebo effect someone would have to know or have an expectation of how it was going to help. In the case of my mother, she had no idea there was anything to the bracelet when she started wearing it 3-4 weeks ago. But now I as well as several others including her doctor have noticed improved results for her. The beautiful thing is, this is America and we are all free to believe whatever we choose. I will continue to wear the band and send my friends and associated to Terry to try out the Bionic Band and take him up on his 30 day Satisfaction Guarantee. And you can continue to keep your head buried in the sand or up your butt with your belief that unless someone shows me scientific proof you can't believe it will work philosophy. "God Bless America" but wait I assume you must not believe on God either since you don't have Scientific Proof "Make it a Great Day" Rock On with the Bionic Band www.BionicBand4All.com

Where did I say Terry guaranteed it woudl work for pain relief? I said he sold a palcebo on ther basis of pain relief. I cooul dnot care less about whether a guarantee is offered, that just means that people who get a placebo benefit are scammed into buying the product.

No once has anyone offered a single scientific way in which this band works that has any basis in anything other than complete fantasy. Sellign such a product to peopel on the basis fo pain relief, as I said is illegal, it has NEVER been tested at all for such an application, and is the modern day snake oil. Sales people using this tactic are ###, pure and simple. You say it doeswn't matter as it has made a difference, no, scamming people with a placebo does matter, especially in medical situations.

Well Fangio, first off, you may want to learn how to type LOL your typing Sucks. Terry did not guarantee me it would relief pain, what he told me was it has helped him with his knee pain. and if I was not satisfied he would refund my money. I also purchased one for my mother who I take care of and she is 82. She has balance / stability issues, so I thought I would try a Jewlery bracelet for her to see if it would help. I just gave it to her as a late christmas gift and didn't tell her anything about what it was for, she just thought it was a pretty bracelet. Well after wearing it for 3 weeks I have noticed a remarkable difference, she very seldom uses her walker or a cane, and is now able to get up out of her recliner without someone helping her. So you can say it is bull crap all you want but for me and my Family it has made a big difference. As far as the FDA is concerned LOL what a joke that is as if they or the Medical Profession has a stellar track record, Why do you think doctors call it a PRACTICE? Because we are the dummies they are practicing on LOL

Yep, more ### testimonies that do nto demonstrate the band doing anythign at all. IT'S A PLACEBO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE OF THE BAND DOING ANYTHING ITSELF. The ASA reviewed the eidence that Bionic Band have and told them they had nothing that actually showd it did anything. If you blieve it does somethign you have been conned. As for the pain relief claims, Teryy is breakign the law if he is sellign the Bionic bnad for pain relief, it needs FDA approval to be sodl for theat, whcih Bionic Band do not have, because t get it they woudl need to subit it for testing, and since it does nothign and is just a palcebo it woudl nto pass. so they rpefer to con ill peopel instead by usign testimonies and lying about it actually havign any effect. Lying to sell something to peple who are genuinely ill makes Terry total ### in my view.

Well I also met a guy Terry from the Bionic Band at a Crossroads of the West Gun Show at Del Mar Fair Grounds in mid December. I watched him for a little while doing why he call his Demo. I was very skeptical and thought there was no was it worked finally my buddy tried it and then convinced me to try it. I must admit there was something to the balance and strength test he did. He then told me that it also helped with pain, well being 50 I have a few pains, he actually put a little Tattoo on me and told me to wander around for a while and see how I felt. In less than an hour my knee pain that is ALWAYS there was almost completely gone. So I went back to his booth and purchased a band. He told me they offer a 30 day Money Back Guarantee. If I wasn't satisfied he would refund my "no questions asked" Well it has been over 30 days and I have no intention of returning this band. Since wearing this band my knees and my shoulder have felt better than they have felt in years. So I will tell you like Terry told me. What have you got to lose but your pain. I am now a Believer in the Bionic Band. I have since purchased several more for family members and they are also now feeling much better. If you want to get a band or try one out you can find him on the web. www.bionicband4all.com

I went to a Harley Rally last week, I purchased the band, I paid $110.00 for a braclet, all you non believers, you dont have a clue what you are talking about, may not work for you but myself and my brother both bought one and the outcome was just unreal, I had shoulder problems and leg problems, and I could not bend over without getting so dizzy that i could not hardley stand up, now I can bend over and no problems what so ever, All my friends new how bad the dizzy spells were that I had, and none of them can beilive what they see now, I am 60 years old, and I would have not believed this at all if it didnt happen to myself and my brother also.

The mind is a wonderful thing. Does it really matter if the band is what is helping or not? If you think it does and it helps great. It has helped my with my post op from shoulder surgery, very little pain as compared to before the band and more range of movement. I tried the same experiment as above with my girlfriend and the none bioband only helped a little compared to here normal self. I put the bioband on her and all of a sudden it was like night and day. By the way, my girlfriend doesn't watch tv so she has not seen any commercials, I did not tell her what was going to happen and she had not seen it done to me or anyone else. Double blind study.

I got the bionic sleep from my parents. I have been an insomniac since the age of 14--eight years now. They basically plopped the thing in front of me, told me to put it on an hour or two before going to bed. And you wouldn't believe what happened---absolutely nothing. I got less sleep than usual because the damn thing was itchy as hell. My parents were dumb enough to get the bands to help them with their balance. All I could do was laugh in their face when they told me to stand on one foot and then try to push me over (no i didn't know what they were doing, i simply thought they were on crack) and guess what! They couldn't push me over. It really all is in your head. And more than likely, the people doing these 'tests' at their sales booths are probably pushing you in a different position of your body so you DON'T pull over--not to mention the people are now expecting to be pushed and so their muscles will tense and be ready for it.

They told me they bought the sleep band for my grandfather and he slept amazing and did great the next day. Well that's fine and dandy, but the man's nearly 80 and has NEVER had issues sleeping--more like the opposite. All the old man does is sleep :) As an insominac trying the sleep band, I am telling you for a fact this load of ### does NOT work. People telling you otherwise are either distributors trying to make a quick buck, or people have gotten a lot more ignorant and gullible. I'm just saying. I didn't know the cost for one of these bands until I read some of the reviews tonight. Money back guarantee or not--Don't bother! It's just a good way to get your identity either stolen or signed up for crap you don't want to be involved in.

I am a realist--sorry for the gullible people out there. But hey, if you think a fabric band with some metal in it---like a watch! can make you feel better, go ahead and hold that security blanket real tight!

Xeno,

I understand getting "carried away" because each of us can and do. You now understand that the possibility does exist and that maybe, just maybe someone did find a cool homeopathic "tool" that helps people.

I admit that I do get carried away as well, in defense of the Bionic Band, but mainly against many that prejudge things not seem. All I have ever said to people is to give it a real try. I applaud you in being open minded to the potential that there are things out there (some will be discovered even today) that we do not yet fully understand and that can be of benefit to us.

I agree with you that consumers do need to be cautious. That is why when I do demonstrate the Bionic Band, I show people the right and wrong way the balance tests can be done, so that even if they don't purchase a Bionic Band, they at least understand the proper procedure/application of the balance tests.
I ask others watching (there is always a group around when I do demos) to make sure I push straight down and to make sure I do it right. Some people buy, but everyone leaves with the knowledge to protect themselves.

Keep an open mind to possibilities but, also by cautious and curious. Investigate and get the facts, not just someone’s opinion. I tell my kids to consider the source of the information. While I am a distributer and do sell the product, is my documentation and information plausible or feasible.

Thank you for at least considering that there is a possibility that it at least does something that people can feel and express.

Regards,
Owen

It is okay. You have nothing to refute the evidence provided. Every twist you have tried to apply to the science and your need for unrealistic "proof" that is not scientifical possible which I have proven that as well, you resort to name calling.

You have gone from "the study is not a test" to "bluegill fish" and I have proven your misunderstanding wrong everytime.

But your argument is akin to the thought that because you read about and saw a picture of coolant on the ground, that the head gasket in your engine is bad. Without checking it for yourself, you are simply guessing or counting on the preceptions of others.
Now you want to compare and use a test for testing sperm in a blugill fish? They are using a video camera (looks like an observation) to see how they move. Than they froze (dead cells) the sperm to measure the ATP. Again, this is not an active testing of the ATP in a living being or human.

And you want to call my a scammer or fake because I sell a product and give a guarrantee? Take a look at the video producers website as he trying to sell his book and money making product.

Xeno,

I am not what else you need. Products have made claims for years and that is how is done. The white paper is a legitamate document that proves how the human body reacts when exposed to the Bionic Band.
I have clarified for you what a test and study include and don't include.
I have shown that the desire to see live interactions of is impossible at this stage of science as I pointed out with:

"Adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) is the major energy currency of cells and is involved in many cellular processes. However, there is NO METHOD FOR REAL-TIME MONITORING of ATP levels inside individual living cells." http://www.pnas.org/content/106/37/15651.short

When the cells are removed for "viewing" in a microscope, they are no longer working in unison with the body and the Bionic Band.

That is why I as well as others do the demonstrations and test on people. I understand the skeptical responses, but the anger and name calling(labeling) without any exposure to the product or the people is truely sad.
I was just like most on here. A complete skeptic, than I tried one while competing at a martial arts tournament. My instructors came to me after my kata set and asked me what I had done different. They did not know I had a Bionic Band and had not been exposed to the demonstrations but saw a difference in my stances and movement. I know you could say it was psychosomatic on my part, but I really doubt it because I was only worried about the judges and nothing else.
I know that my son with ADHD has improved in school. I put it on him before the school year started and I quickly saw a difference, but like you will think, I wanted to see the good in my son just like any father would. He went to school and the teachers had NO idea that he was wearing anything. Two weeks into school was the open house and we went. My wife HATES going to these things because it is always negative because my son can't control himself in school. To our surprise, every teacher had good things to say about his behavior. Two teachers were even the same as the previous school year and asked what were we doing different with my son because he was so much better. Finally, his grades started coming in and every one of them was higher across the board. It has been two years now for him and he will not leave the house without his Bionic Band.
I know that to you that this is just another claim, but I can go on and on with people I have met who have received benefits be using the Bionic Band.

Let me ask you, if you found something that truely helps people, wouldn't you talk about it? Sell it? Use it? Defend It? Of course you would.

All I ask is for common courtesy is these discussions.

All that is available is what has been already provided.

That is why I have to fall back on:
“For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible.” Stuart Chase 1888
There is never enough proof for some and sometimes we can make the proof good enough for all.

You asked what are the BENEFITS didn't you? Lets look back. Why yes you did! Did you ask what does IT DO? Why, no I don't see that in your question. Not dodging just answering your question.

But now that you asked, here you go:

Imagine you have trillions of protons in your body, and you are consistently being bombarded with thousands of different frequencies. These frequencies come from things such as cell phone towers, power lines, radio and TV stations, computers, and just about anything that you plug into the wall. These frequencies cause the protons in your body to resonate (vibrate) and mimic all of those external frequencies that cause you to become weaker and unbalanced.

Think of each one of those protons as a tiny little gyroscope. When they resonate at different frequencies this causes them to spin in all different directions. This means that they are unbalanced and fighting each other, which wastes a lot of energy. Balance is the first thing affected while wearing one of the many BionicBand® Family of Products. When you wear our products, a single frequency that over-rides all the other frequencies is introduced which makes your protons line up and work together as a team.

You can also read the white paper that describes the testing done.

The Original Frequency is the frequency the human body should naturally be at. At this frequency, the cells in the body are communicating with each other and the protons within the cell are working together in unison.

This frequency allows your body to return to its natural state of energy, strength,
and balance.

Xeno,

So all studies are subjective? And not scientific?

Here is a link clarifing a "study" and "test" for you and I included the web page from where I got the quote for your review:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_control

"Examples of controls"

In TESTING a drug, it is important to carefully verify that the supposed effects of the drug are produced only by the drug itself. Physicians achieve this with a double-blind STUDY in a clinical trial: two (statistically) identical groups of patients are compared, one of which receives the drug and one of which receives a placebo. The group receiving the placebo would be the control group, while the group receiving the drug would be the treatment group. Neither the patients nor the doctor know which group receives the real drug, which serves both to curb bias and to isolate the effects of the drug.

The defintion clearly shows that, yes, the study is a test.

JDH, why don't you get real information instead of spitting out the same old wrong info.
Learn, and then comment.
Since you continue to cut and paste, I will reply in same. Try educating yourself.

The beautiful thing is that you can't even understand the difference between the Bionic Band and the cheap copies attempting to copy the technology!

Power Balance is a silicone/rubber band using a "hologram" (picture) on a plastic sticker, not a imprinted (tuned) stainless steel (Bionic Band)with a frequency.
Than you throw in Q-Link, yet another hologram.
The hologram is generated by a computer, just like the back of a credit card and is suject to the same failure that the magnetic strip of a credit card suffers.

Add the IRnew that even my 14 year old could see the cheating of the test. He knows the proper application of the tests because he has been trained.

As far as pasting, you so your ignorance by not understanding the differences in the products you have "pasted" together. Go and get information on Bionic Band and join the conversation with knowledge.
So go learn and come back with some sense, common would be good, but actual sense (knowledge) would be best.

Crying that the Bionic Band has made unrealistic claims like giving you a brain will not contribute to your credibility.

Look through my previous post (do a little research) and you will find a link to the PHD white paper documenting the double blind study on the Bionic Band.

A broken arm is medical condition but is not treated by a cast! It only holds the bones in place and the arm repairs the break. Buy Xeno, you go get all the casting material tested by the FDA! Or even get two sticks and string (often used to splint a break) and get those tested! Not everything fits into the little box that medical community has sold as the grand savior of all the ails you!

You are right in that this doesn't fit within the box created by the medical elitist. Many people believe a natural way is better.

Everyone,
The above posts by Fangio is his continuing complete guess work. He has never seen, held, tested, or experienced the Bionic Band.

He read an article and now considers himself to be the almighty expert of all things, with no education, training or experience. On other "complaint Board topics", he can't even tell the differece between Power Balance or Bionic Band. He has no credentials or professional knowledge, yet wants to trash the work of a PHD or other professionals.

He has zero evidence of his claims and but continues to belittle anyone who would speak of their personal and direct experiences with the Bionic Band. He is trying to be the squeaky wheel by attempting to drown out honest people with real experience.

(Fangio) "Believe me, believe me. I know what's best. I have no evidence and everyone else is a fake." That pot (Fangio) is calling the kettle black.

I do not intend to insult anybody but,
These sort of products with outrageous claims have been around as long as anybody remembers. The truth is, they don't work, because the claim contradict "laws of nature".
I accept, that we do not know everything there is to know (probably never will), but they contradict laws of nature which are accepted by every sane person for millenia.
I feel for the people who hope for a miracle, because no doctor can help them.
There is such a thing as "a positive attitude (hope) makes alot of good things happen", but it does not work as well as many people thing.

In a nutshell: Snakeoil is BS

Your report is not authoritative, it has holes in it you coudl drive a bus through. I have to ask, have you actually read it, becasue I point ou the gaps and insterad of you quoting the report you just say Dr Pedersen has a PHD.

There are 3 definitons ther.

1 an authritative report
2 a marketing tool
3 an academic paper requested by policy makers.

The "paper" from Dr Pedersen is quite clearly number 2. Dr Pedersen clearly has not put together anythigin authoritiative, and certianly nothing that actually educates, it makes a load of assumptins and draws conclusions that simply cannot be drawn based upon any of the evidence either quoted or directly obtained from the "tests".

If youa re just goign to continue to say teh report is correct based purely on Dr PEdersen's credentials rath erhtna actually addresing the obbvious gaping deficiencies then I not only question your knowledge and reaserch but also you ability to read the paper for what it actually says.

Judge the report by what it says not who is sayign it and it looks like psuedoscience of the highest order, regardless of Dr Pedersn (who's CV is more abotu sales than science) credentials.
