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.

What the last quote made no since. by the way Sarah Palin is more a viable candidate for president than the joker we have in there now. Pretty smart of Americans to put somebody in there who has the leadership qualities of a mongoose. By the way looks like he was born in Africa afterall. I seen that on one of the rag mags at the local grocery store so he shouldn't even be in there. Oh well America will fall and you will be all the better for it. Hail Obama. Oh hitler or whatever. By the way the bionic bands work fine.,

Wow, such zeal from the "believers", and a 30 day money-back guarantee to boot. OK, the odds are heavily in favor of the believers, if you count the "works" vs. "scam" responses. Nice that several of the "works" folks point you to their multi-level-marketing website, just in case you had any doubts.

I thought and thought about how to put this in perspective, and it suddenly came to me: If you believe Sarah Palin is a viable candidate for president, and you'd vote for her... go buy a bunch of Bionic Bands for yourself and your family including the dogs and cats. They'll cure what ails you, give you perfect balance, tune your body like a radio, and possibly stop bullets.

Mind over matter? So what if it is a little bit of mind over matter...if someone feels better, it's worth it. Esp if it's less than doctor bills! That said, I do feel that it works somehow!

I pesonally wear mine while playing sports or exercising. While I'm getting older and still have aches and pains, I find I have fewer and they don't last as long as in years when I was in better shape!

Maybe you don't like the demo, but don't knock it until you've tried it! Take advantage of the 30 day time to try it!

The thing that I find most humorous about this forum is those that have not tried it or owned a Bionic Band bash it! Is that because they can’t believe that something actually works, or that they were so afraid to try something that wasn’t a pill, that they are now embarrassed and need to feel better about themselves. The Bionic Band and their distributors openly offer a 30 day MONEY BACK GUARANTEE!
You have nothing to lose. Find a doctor to offer you that! By the way, Kinesiology was around long before the so called modern medicine. To educate those you are misinformed; Kinesiology, from the Greek words kinesis (movement) and kinein (to move), also known as human kinetics, is the science of human movement. NOT MIND OF MATTER, but if you don’t have a mind, than I guess it doesn’t matter!
And before you blindly follow your doctor, you might want to remember that the third leading cause of death in America is medical error.

On July 20th, yesterday, my wife, two grand-kids and myself attended the Sacramento state fair. I stopped at the bionic band booth and was tested. I was shocked to find out this thing actually WORKS! I purchased a earth necklace and wore it for about 2hours and walking for at least 2 miles. I was waiting for the pain to kick in, as I have 12 fractured vertebra in my spine from a fall 9 years ago. NOTHING HAPPENED! I was walking miles with 85% reduction of pain! For those of you who don't get it, try the product before "bad-mouthing" it! As of this writing my pain is still in check 22 hours later! Usually after walking that far in a day, it would take me at least 2 days to recover. I woke up this morning feeling rested and refreshed, something I have not experienced for quite some time.
The product works well enough for me that I am now a Distributor and am helping my own family to enjoy this truly amazing product! I will be contacting other family and friends about it also, to try it. If I can help 1 person per day to be pain free or at least reduced pain for them I will feel blessed! To not be in constant pain is a miracle in itself
BUT if you've never experienced constant pain then this may not be for you. I would hope you to be smart enough to at least give it a try before opening your mouth and saying things that are not true! J.T.

Can yo believe that there was a time in mans history when you would be considered crazy if you made the following statements:

- The world is NOT flat, It is round, like this orange. ( People actually Died because of this belief.)

- The sun does NOT revolve around the earth, the earth revolves around the sun. ( AGAIN, People Died because of this belief)

-If we wash our hands and surgical equipment before surgery patients will have a greater chance of surviving and recovering from the surgery. (Late 1800's)

- Man CAN fly in a Machine in the air. (late 1700's)

- We CAN go to the moon and back. (1960's)

- You can talk to your friend half way around the world on a devise no larger than you hand AND it is a computer, AND a GPS AND it takes pictures AND videos AND you can send them I IMMEDIATELY to someone else on their hand held device. (1970's-to present day)

- A band that you wear on your wrist that can improve your STRENGTH, STABILITY and ENERGY! (PRESENT DAY!)

As a Massage Therapist and Persona Trainer of over twenty years I have never seen a product that provides instant and lasting results like the Bionic Band. I services the 50 and older population and their chief concern and issues are stability and strength. Pain in Back, Knees and Hips degrade their mobility and confidence in their abiltiys to do the most basic activities like gardening and walking let alone exercising.

Everyone of my clients who are using the Bionic Band have notice some type of improved wellness. For some it is pain relief, like my Dad and others it is going up and down stairs with less effort, others it is better posture, more energy, more stability to name a few. these are people who I see 2 - 3 times a week. You would think at some point the "power of suggestion" would wear off.

When I perform the test I don't mention anything about strength or balance being associated with the band and ALL the test subjects notice a marked difference with the band and without the band. Skeptics first pause because they cant deny what they have experienced but then they begin the brain scramble to rationalize why the experienced something pretty miraculous.

I even perform a blind test switching out the Bionic Band with a like colored band that was given to all the guest at a destination wedding for my sister and the body responds as if there is no band on the arm.

The clincher for me is my 90 year old grandfather who has stability issues due to some amputated toes. His nemesis are going up and down stairs and get up out of a chair.
He was a Chicago Cop for 30 years and the don't get much more skeptical than he.
We did the standard balance & Strength test and he came up with the usual excuses like "more resistance", Knowing what to expect, yada, yada, . But to his credit he is an open minded individual and executed his own test. He got up from out of a chair while paying attention to what part of the motion does he have to exert the more strain and effort. Then he tried it out with the band in his hand. Needless to say I was nervous. He stood up so much easier that he actually chuckled while saying "It really works". He was navigating sand dunes that week at my parents beach house.

I could go on and on.

No one has made the claim that this band makes you invincible, or that it will keep you from getting sick, being robbed, dying. It allows your body to perform in a more effective an efficient manner relative to your wellness level and that is all. What one choose to do with these benefits is up to them.

People have done more with less and people have done less with more.

ITS UP TO YOU!

I don't sell it. I don't plan to sell it. But I plan to wear it for the rest of my life, or at least as long as it continues to work the way it does.

I'm sorry you didn't try it out. A lot of people, instead of trying somthing, will Google it, find a bunch of nay-sayers who didn't try it either, and then talk about how it "Couldn't possibly work, etc etc".

It does work. Get your hopes up. Give it a try. And unless you actually try something out yourself, don't suppose it must not work or else Oprah and NIMH would be promoting it. There are a lot of things that work even though there is no current science that explains it. Either try it, or don't act like you actually know anything.

PEOPLE! OPRAH has endorsed the technology, except hers comes in a watch that cost HUNDREDS of dollars!
I agree totally with what VFarrington wrote. It's not for everyone, but I know LOTS of people who can't believe what a difference it has made in their lives...DOn't knock til you try it. When we do the demo, we don't tell the subject what will happen when we put the bracelet on, so it is NOT suggestive thinking...

I came across a booth at a trade show. I was scheduled to have rotator cuff surgery from an old injury that was re-injured. I COULD NOT lift my are enough to put it into a sleeve, to turn on my turn signal and lifting it to the key board sent me screaming in pain. I could not fully do the cell phone demonstration.
In the past, I have experienced a little relief from the magnetic jewelry but after having lost four to the washing machine or emptying metal trash cans (they stick to these when my hand is in, I pull my arm out empty) so I thought that was what was being sold at the time.
I bought one to try (for the thirty days...I am a skeptic) and after six hours of wearing it, I had raised my arm and bent my elbow to lean on a stool at a kitchen counter to remove my boots. My husband jumped up screaming...I thought, a mouse? a burglar? WHAT?! He said, "Do that again!" I was a little freaked out and blew it off to remove my boots...He told me to freeze. I did. Then I screamed! I had movement of my arm again! AND NO PAIN!
I canceled my surgery, am working out and LIVING again.
I have six children so to not be laid up watching the laundry etc pile up, is a victory in itself!
My mother always said, "Try it you, you'll like it. If you do not after trying it then you don't have to (eat) it."
If you buy it and try it for thirty day, guarantee you will be eating your words!

i bought the bands from a friend to prove that is was a scam. i got a yellow bionicband and a amstrong band. they look alike. i did the test with 10 people. first with the bionicband, then with the other band. in every test the bionicband worked, and the other failed. the people had no idea that i had switch the bands. so explain to me why this experiment results show that it works. i gave 3 bands to diffrent people that had no idea what it was. told them to not research band but let me know what types of symptoms they get.
they all said they had more energy, and that they did not feel the need to drink as much coffee or energy drinks. one guy said he felt he was able to lift more weight. so explain to me if they had no idea what it should do why did it work?

i am still triying to disprove it. but all i seem to be doing is end up selling them to people. and i am not even a distibutor.

will update my findings in a month

My husband came home with 2 black band and the nice silver braclet I said scam scam, he said the braclet is for your shoulder pain so being the good wife I put it on, and the next day I had no pain, I hated to admit it but it's for real, What a difference it makes, guess it works in side like a chiropractor would work on the out side, except it is a natural thing, as far as a DR. recomending it they would lose a pile of money, and business, they don't recomend any thing natural.

Just bought the band 2 days ago. I have noticed some effect, but still remain a bit skeptical. At the booth where I purchased it, I did notice a feeling of lightheadedness after wearing it a few minutes. The tests were fairly amazing, but I always reserve some skepticism. One thing that is striking thus far, is that I'm very sensitive to computers and tend to get headaches and hangovers when I'm on them for over a couple hours. This has not happened over the last 2 days even though I've been on the computer excessively. Also, the pains in my knees have significantly decreased; that pain is chronic. Now, on the minus side: I was quite excited about it when I got home with it so I tested it on my housemate to no effect whatsoever. Then I tested it on a colleague to no effect whatsoever. Hmmmm. At any rate, after all these testimonials, I'm going to leave it on for a week and see what happens. I have had chronic reflux for 3 years and so I'll be interested to see if that is helped. I still have 3 weeks to return it if it the plusses don't outweigh the minuses (in dollars spent). Am very interested to hear what others have to say. I always wonder how many postings are from promoters of the product (the disbeliever in me).

I was given one as a present while visiting my girlfriend's parents. The whole small town is sold on the Bionic Band and I would have just let it go except I got the same scientific sales pitch from multiple people making scientific claims that did not "resonate" with any science I have learned. I'm 30 and do not have any specific ailments or personal expectations for this product. I just have an electrical engineering background and have a decent understanding of physics and electromagnetics with an itch telling me that the claims are untrue at first look. I don't have enough knowledge in my head to refute the claims without research and testing. However, testing is what I do best so in the coming month I'm going to devise and run tests that will investigate claims that I have the qualifications to investigate. My bias is toward disbelief so I will attempt to design tests that leave little wiggle room and quantitatively analyze the claims. The biological claims I will leave for someone that has a better background.

BearsBuddy, you should snag a PH test kit and validate your claim? That would be a super easy one to test! Personally, I like my coffee just the way it is brewed:)

I have had mine for over a month now. I noticed major differences in my Balance, Energy levels and Improved sleep patterns. I cannot figure out the Why as of yet. I have noticed that the band does have some type energy. Whether it absorbs or radiates, I don't know. It also balances the PH/Alkalinity of water/beverages. I drink my coffee black every morning so I tried rubbing the band against the cup after my first sip & the bitterness disappeared right away. I also have tinnitus and some mornings I hear a high pitch squeal. I place the metal part of the band against the back of my ear & the pitch is gone & does not return for at least 1 week. So I will not be asking for a refund & will continue to use this wonderful Bionic Band.

jf4828 Writes a very intelligent & scientific article. I hope we get to read more of his research results. I wonder if he has tried the band, how old he/she is. I am 59 & it has helped me. So, why? Perhaps it is extra-terrestrial technology.
As I do agree that these claims made by the Company make no scientific sense at all. Because if it worked as they claim, then we could use this technology in so many fields;

Not only could we have portable MRI machines but this could revolutionize the way we harness not only electrical energy but also the way we transmit frequency or how we could affect EMF. Mind boggling is it not?

I am in no position to say if this works or not. However, I think it is important to look at the facts:

Here are the claims according to the 1st video:
1. Bionic band will identify the bond angle between protons and align them properly
2. A uV applied (at unknown frequency) to the body will align the protons the way they are supposed to be aligned. (Notice I used uV instead of mV as in the video because mV is millivolt and uV is microvolt according to any engineer I've ever met)
3. This uV is imprinted in the bionic band

Here are the claims of the 2nd video:
1. Protons in proper alignment function as gyroscopes
2. Protons rotate at random rotations
3. As documented by Dr. Einstein, a uV attached to a metal when subjected to a body of water will transmit that entire uV to the entire body.

Here are the claims according the the 3rd video:
1. Mitochondria is power house of individual cells
2. Some cells contain up to 2000 mitochondria
3. Possible greater energy increase in cells with more mitochondria
4. Mitochondria in cells can have increased energy when uV is applied to the mitochondria.

From the site:
1. When the radio is on the right frequency it sounds perfect…full, clear, and crisp. Proton Alignment Resonance Technology (P.A.R.T.™) works in a similar way, by allowing all of your cells to “resonate” on the same frequency at once
2. This cellular communication is instant and dramatic and your body just works better.
3. aligns the protons of the nucleus of base minerals
4. A state of the art system aligns all the protons of the mineral content in The Bionic Band® family of products to spin (or resonate/vibrate) the same way.
5. Once this “imprinted” material comes in close contact with a body of water (humans are about 70% water), all the protons in your body "mimic" the protons in the imprinted material.
6. In simple terms The Bionic Band® family of products are basically "tuning forks" that you wear or consume which sends a specific frequency throughout your body and makes your cells "vibrate" at the same frequency (known as "sympathetic resonance").
7. Without it, the cells your body will vibrate at the thousands of different frequencies that are being transmitted among the airwaves from cell phones, wireless networks, TV’s, Power Lines...and many more.
8. 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.

Just from being science minded and reading this, there seems to be many false statements. The two irrelevant references to Einstein are very fishy as well. For example "As documented by Dr. Einstein, a uV attached to a metal when subjected to a body of water will transmit that entire uV to the entire body.", transmitting voltage is not something you do to voltage as it is a difference in charge between two points. Voltage by itself does not live in the time domain so the idea of transmitting it seems incorrect. Furthermore, how do you imprint a uV?

I'm going to play with this thing around an expensive spectrum analyzer and see if I can quantitatively measure any "Resonant Frequencies" at any power levels. From a communication theory standpoint, overriding a frequency is also an interesting claim... This can all be tested and I'm going to take some time to see what I can figure out from an electrical engineering standpoint.

I know that there are things well beyond our understanding and sometimes we just have to have faith. However, the manufacturer is making claims that appear to be very false and unsubstantiated. I would assume there would be a slew of associated academic research in this area furthering sales potential.

One more note, I've done a little research on MRI/NMR which is a way that you can align a nucleus of a specific atoms within the magnetic field to precess at a resonant frequency that will absorb energy at that frequency. As the magnetic field is released, the energy is released back to a sensor for MRI. Point being, why such a huge expensive magnet and machine if the bionic band can instantly align all the atoms in the body to have the same spin? I better get to decoding the mystery and build the first portable MRI:)

In the end, I think the claims are completely unsubstantiated and leads me to distrust. There are really smart people in this world but considering the doctor's qualifications, I would not expect him to develop such a huge breakthrough without a team of physicists and biologists.

I just do not understand why someone would try to take the hope of pain relieve away from someone else. To me that sounds like bull crap. I work the laughlin run every year and I watched all day and half the night these guys in the booth next to mine just blow people away, I'm talking 400# bikers all the way down to 90# lady's. I ended up talking to these guys that night and asked if I could ware one for a day and he gave one to me for the weekend to ware. I am 54 years old and have degenerative arthritis of the spine. I do not like drugs, aspirin and the likes, so I'm in pain most of the time. Well that night I wore it and in the morning I got out of bed down the stairs and to the coffee pot before I had realized I was feeling no pain. No groaning getting out of bed. Hell I felt great. You can ask anyone who knows me I am a pessimist, You have to prove whatever it is your trying to sell me that it works, and then I still have my doubts. Well I have to tell you I am a believer! I have been wearing this band every sense that night, an I fell fabulous. That morning when I went to work I got one for my wife, and it kind of scares her because if she takes it off for a day she starts feeling different. All I can say is if it didn't work for you, that's to bad, but don't go spreading your ignorance around on something you don't understand and taking hope away from us who do!

I have been suffering from a cold...I had tons of chicken soup...lots of OJ and nothing was helping me get over my cold...I put on the band and within a hour...I didn't even remember I had a cold...my duaghter wanted to show her friends the band and took it from me...a hour later? The cold is back? I also got to play with the Bionic sil, I haven't read anything about it...and either has the guy that gave it to me...so we decided to rub some into my palms where I had some sort of ecema...a hour later? almost can't even tell I have it...I regret not taking before and after pics with time and date stamps on them. I really was a skeptic when it came to the sil...but the band? I'm sold! Who cares how it works? or if it works ?or why it works?...I BELEIVE it works...and my opinon is all that matters to me:) Everyone should decide for themselves...almost the whole world thought they lived on a flat surface...only scientist and thrill seekers beleived it was round:) I may not be a scientist...but I am a thrill seeker:)

It is normal to be skeptical of things we don't understand. The Bionic Band technology is well grounded in science. This technology is used by NASA, by oil companies to locate oil, and in medical testing, such as MRI's.

If it was a "mind over matter thing" tell me why it works on animals. My neighbor's dog has hip displasia and could no longer be taken on walks. My neighbor put one of the Bionic Dog Collars on the dog. (Of course, he didn't tell his dog ahead of time that it would make him stronger or ease his pain.) Now the dog can go for walks and frolics around with his other dogs. This also happened with my sister's dog.

I have been a Bionic Band distributor for 13 months. I have volumes of testimonials from my customers telling of the benefits they have received. No, it isn't a scam. We offer everyone a 30-day money back guarantee--in writing. Our return rate is less than one percent.

I love how people say it doesn't work 1) without trying it, 2) without knowing ANYTHING about the technology and how it works. People are always skeptical about new technologies, especially when they don't understand it, and they are always quick to yell "fake!" just because. I would attempt to explain how it works, but I'm sure none of you paid attention in any of your science classes and I would be wasting my time.

So I read all the comments and I do not see "the bashers" answering any of the questions. If it is mind over matter why does it work on someone who knew nothing about it? If it is mind over matter, why are so many people feeling better, not just balanced and more strength but better, no pain, better sleep? What are your answers for that? I understand your fear of the unknowing but if you are skeptic, then be skeptic and let those who wear it and like it...let them be healed. That is what is wrong with this world, people are so negative especially about things they do not know. How could something work that you can't figure out, how could something work that you can't see? Maybe somethings need to be left alone and this world would be a much better place. And if I were you, I would be carefule because if all these people have the power to change their balance, strength, and endurance in a matter of seconds, imagine what they can do to you if you piss them off!

You can perform the same balance test, without any bands, at the beach, standing first in dry sand then in wet...which should dispel any claim the test is a hoax. Still, I don't blame the skeptics for a second. The Bionic Band must be experienced personally before passing judgment. Testimonials to its effects are so unbelievable, which makes it all the more 'magical' when you yourself can feel the power as your natural energy is restored, usually instantaneously.

I like the product and the company. I'll wear my bands to my last day, and look forward to enhancing many lives in the years to come.

I was at a home show last weekend in Phoenix. I saw both of these bands there and did the tests with both of them. They both seemed to work but the guys at the bionic band just ripped the other one as if it was personal more than business. The AZ Power Bands reps explained about the bands and the technology with out ripping the other guys there. We bought from them and we have really felt the effects. I am getting great sleep and my husbands back, which he has already had 2 surgeries is feeling a lot better. One thing that that the bionic band people told me was the hologram band didn't last more than a couple days or if it got near a tv it would kill it...we'll that is completely false. i have had mine by a tv and my cell phone and my band still works. I normally don't get on these things but it bothered me how the Bionic Band reps just use false information to get people to buy their product. That is not the right way to do business. We love our power band and recommend it to everybody.

They are only $35 and you can get them on the website at www.azpowerbands.com

I bought a Bioninc Band 2 weeks ago. I returned it last week. I didnt help me sleep better or make my pain go away. I actually bought another type of band that uses hologram technology. I have to say that after buying the Bionic Band i thought it was just another usless band like the Bionic Band was. It was only $35 so I thought I would try it as it is way less than the cost of going to the doctor. My back has felt so much better and I am actually getting great sleep. The Power Band is working so well that I am going to buy them for the rest of my family. I was able to order them off the website at www.azpowerbands.com. I am a true believer of the technology and will wear my band all day every day. I have talked to a few people that have had both bands and when we do the tests with the bands a few months old we get much better resluts with the hologram bands vs the Bionic Band...

Well worth the $35

I am a huge skeptic on scams of this type. I would ignore and walk on by if I ever saw one of those guys at a trade show or fair etc... However, this thing does work to my surprise. My mother is often suckered into crap like this and always getting new stuff and trying it. Most of the time they don't work well if at all. Because of this I am very vocal about it. So she bought a few of these from a guy in the local mall. Brought one casually to me while talking and put it on me. I asked what this was and she just said she did not remember just where it a couple days without taking it off. I have slight problems with my knees due to car accident years ago. Nothing major, but with a lot of walking or running my knees hurt bad. I also don't sleep well at night either. These are things I have problems with but have not really worked hard to go to doctor to fix problem or anything like that. I just live with it. Without realizing it both my knees stopped hurting and I sleep better at night as well! My mom asked me how my knees were a couple days later and without realizing it they did not hurt! I was surprised to say the least. So I figured what the heck, I will keep it on a while and most likely effects will go away and I will give it back to her since she spent $80 each on hers! I have been wearing mine now for about 7 months and the pain has yet to come back in my knees! So I am a believer! Also there have been times I took it off to take a shower then went to bed forgetting to put it back on. That night I had a horrible nights sleep. Not thinking about it I would be up all night and the next morning getting dressed I would realize I forgot to put it back on. So I am still not going to say it is a miracle product. I just can't wrap my skeptical brain around it. All I can say is it does work for me. Be aware and use the 30 day money back. Don't were it for 30 days. If it works for you it will work within a few hours! I since bought one for my wife that has severe back pain and has had back surgery in the past. This band did nothing for her. I think it works great for balance and aches and pains, and for me sound sleeping. If you have cancer don't be shocked if it does not cure you. Sounds like there are both a lot of completely "sold" people writing reviews, or people that would not buy it if it cured their cancer. So I just thought I would give my personal experience and say to try it. If you are worried about being conned get it from on line. No salesmen and money back if you don't like it. I don't want to rely on what someone else tells me to do or not to do. Just try it for yourself. Surprisingly it may work. I would have never spent $80 even after the magic demo from the sales guy. Now after trying it the lack of pain in my knees I would pay for it for sure. Maybe I should pay my mom back now for it. :-)

I saw some guys selling the Bionic Band at the Florida State Fair this weekend. They went through the song and dance with my husband while I watched to see whether they would press in different places when doing the balance test. I have seen a lot of them performed over the years for different products, nutrition items, etc. We understood the properties of how metal, vibration work since we used to wear magnets quite a while ago and copper has properties that help some with arthritis. They quoted the bands at $60 which was quite steep for a bracelet. The guy doing the demo gave me a small sample patch that is to work for 3-4 days. It is for pain management.

For me - I broke my ankle and leg severely back in 2004 and since have had huge issues with it on cold days and long walking/driving days. By the time we got to their booth, my ankle was hurting so bad I just wanted to go home. Within minutes the pain in my ankle lessoned and by the next morning when my leg usually would have to be rested I was able to go out and walk around a museum and drive 3 hours home. Typically I would be in huge pain and irritated. Surprised to feel the pain in my ankle substantially less to almost no pain. There is still no pain in my ankle and only slightly stiff and this is the 3rd day.

I searched for scam on the bands but this is really the only website with the scam listed at all. Granted most other sites that deal with the band are for advertising and all materials they hand out are pure advertisement - then again - they are selling a product!

If it provides me with pain relief for my ankle and makes walking easier without taking pain medication, $60 is kind of worth it - or even the $25 sport bands just to be worn on awful days.

I actually bought one today. I had them do their demonstrations on me hen I had my husband do them to me so I would know it wasn't anything they were doing. I noticed the difference immediately in the balance test. My back had been bothering me all day prior to having purchased it and the pain diminished considerably within about 10 minutes. (No, I didn't just sit down 10 minutes later! =)
I am going to keep wearing it.

My husband bought one too and very quickly noticed his knees were not hurting anywhere near as bad as they had been. His knees always hurt as a result of working on concrete floors his entire life so for him to notice a decrease in pain in just a few minutes is pretty big.

I am a believer and trust me I am a huge skeptic.

Im 25 and a mother of two, I have had bad knee problems since i was a child and bad ct since ive had my children. Just staying on my feet more then 30 min causes my knees to ache and typing on the computer does a number on my wrists and hands. I've taken tons of medicines over the years trying to help the problems and most the could do was give me a pain killer for them unless i got surgery(i refuse to have surgery). I have to use a brace on my right knee when ever i do any kinds of work out or anything. And trust me im one of the most skeptical when it comes to things like this. My best friend though decided to get me one after she got one herself and never did the tests one me. She just said try it and tell me how you feel. That was roughly a month ago and since then i have slight weakness in my knees on occasion (like when i have to go up and down my stairs 100 times because of the kids) but other then that, i have had no pain and have completely stopped taking my meds as of 2 weeks ago. Everyone can say they are skeptical and that it doesn't work and trust me until i tried it i prolly would of been on here saying the same thing as the op, but my results for myself have been astonishing. I never would have thought that i would be able to crawl around on the floor with my kids or chase them around the house. This story might seem minute to those skeptics, but for those that truly need something to help them and have tried everything else, i would highly recommend trying one, even if its only for the 30 day period.

When I walked by the booth, and the guy beckoned me over, I immediately thought, "well, this might be entertaining for a minute." I'm a hopeful skeptic by nature. I question everything, but I always hope for the best. Well, the problem was when the guy couldn't knock me off balance in the first place. Perhaps it was my training, or perhaps my atomic structure was in beautiful harmony that day, but whatever it was, the band could do nothing for me that I couldn't already do. The human consciousness is a very powerful tool; it is why placebo's often work (nearly 50% of the time) but if scientists knew how to perfectly balance atomic matter with such a simple thing we'd be living in a vastly different world. The only reason sports figures are wearing them is because they're either making money, or are just as gullible as a typical person. After all, professional athlete does not equate extraordinary reasoning and intelligence. I highly suggest that if you want balance, strength, and pain relief you invest in healthier eating and daily exercise. We are capable of more than we readily experience, but we are not super humans.

Just a note! What I hadn't noticed in the last 3 days, how I overlooked this, maybe because I've been so busy... I have tendonitis in my left elbow, AKA-Tennis Elbow, and didn't realize that the pain was GONE. Let me spell that again for you, GONE!

Ask yourself if the St Louis Cardinal football team wears the band, with all the aches and pains that they experience daily, it might just actually work... Instead of complaing about the product and you didn't experience any satisfying results, get your money back with the 30 day guarantee. I believe in it so much I'm becoming a distributor! At 43 yrs. old I have a lot of friends my age and from years of torment to our bodies, most of us have consistant pain in one way or another. I'm sure from my own experiences they will be AMAZED as well.

Another note: the first day I got this one from a friend, somewhat of a sceptic myself, I tried the balance test on my wife and 3 kids. They were all saying it was freaky. I guess I wasn't paying attention if these people demostrating the test were actually pushing outwards to help induce the person off balance, but when I tried it on the wife and kids I did EXACTLY the same each time and I know that IT WORKS! Just because it doesn't work for you maybe you are a healty person, but there are millions of people that can benefit from it!

"IT WORKS", like it was said above "maybe you should try one before you spout your mouth off about what you don't know". A friend of mine gave me one just to try out and if I didn't see anything amazing about just give it back, no pressure here for the sale. So I wore it for the first two days and have experienced the following:
1. First time in over a year that I have slept through the entire night without waking up!
2. I have Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.) and have not needed to take my medication to slow down my brain in order to focus on daily tasks and work!
3. I have increased energy and a disire to get more done throughout the day.
4. I've had a list of odds and ends tasks that have gone undone for months, over 20 items, have completed 30% of them by the second day, wow, I don't know where the ambition came from.
5. I usually have headaches in the mornings, havent had one since.

I attest that these items above were noticed in just the first couple of days. I'm on my third day wearing the band and can only think of how much more productive I will become. I have heard of AMAZING things through a network of people about the PAIN healing powers and what PAIN it has eliminated for people, even those who have been on major pain killers they have been freed of them. TRY IT YOU MAY LIKE IT! IT'S NOT BS...

You know, I would like to point out that this band isn't "magic", it happens to be a low frequency elctromagnetic radiation source that tranfers to your body on contact. This is proven to be factual by Albert Einstein that an entire body of water can obtain any frequency that it is exposed to. Given that our bodies are approximately 70% water, that 7-9 hz in the boinic bands is tranfered through our entire body. The atoms in our body and all matter has a certain amount of vibration depending on the frequency of the protons and subatomic particles. When we are exposed to a higher frequency from electronics like cell phones and anything that emittes a signal or electromagnetic radiation, our bodies obtain this higher artificial frequencies. these devices are often higher frequencies around 40-60 hz which is much higher than our natural 7-8 hz of the earth (depending on the area of the electromagnetic spectrum). It is in theory that these atoms cooperate at an increase rate when they are all at the the same, natural frequency. The larger impacts on the human body include higher productivity in all cells which allows for increased cellular performance and response. It's almost like having a healthy person verses an unhealthy person, if you were to do basic tests on both people, you would find that the healthy person performs better physically and mentally than the unhealthy person, which artifical frequencies at the atomic level, our cells are slightly "sluggish" compared to a completely natural or "healthy" cell with the resonant frequency of the earth. Cells make up almost everything in our bodies and are the main structures to all organs that allow us to function properly. With increased cell productivity, the heart, brain and all other organs can function at optimum performance. Since we are rarely not exposed to high, artificial electromagnetic sources, we are constantly distract from our natural strengths. I recently discovered and tried to debunk the bionic bands and through many tests, i have not had a single red flag. I myself have worn the boinic band for three days so far and i have noticed an increase in energy and a decrease in stress. So apart from the pure science (not magic) behind the bionic bands, i have myself observed the benefits i get when only wearing the band. Since this band works so well and is guaranteed for a lifetime, i'm more than likely going to become a distributer. The only question i had about the bionic band was how they are able to maintain their low frequency for a lifetime, but that's simply what puts them ahead of anyone else and it seems that they're fairly confident with the lifetime guarantee and with their satisfaction gurantee, you've got everything to gain and nothing to lose, so why do you think it's a scam again? Have a nice day

I saw the Bionic Band guys at a gun show in Tucson and had a demo done on me. The only thing, my boyfriend did the demo on me, not the sales guy. He just showed us how to do it but my boyfriend (not a bionic band salesman) did my demos. I was pretty amazed. If it is just mind over mind then so be it. I play tennis for fun and exercise and have noticed a HUGE difference in my stamina and coordination. I don't care if it is all in my head, I feel better so that's all that matters.

But how can it really be mind over matter if it helped my dog too? I have a 14 year old doberman who in the last year can hardly get up out of her bed and could hardly make it up the porch steps. I put my band around her collar and I'm not even kidding, whole new dog! She was able to get up and down the steps with no problem and able to get out of her bed, no problem. I started crying because it was so amazing! I went back to another gun show a few months ago to buy one for her and they have doggie bionic collars now. I would pay $500 for one if I had to. My dog doesn't seem to be in any pain anymore so it's more than worth it. Thank you so much!

THE TEST IS A FAKE AND I HAVE PROVEN IT! I noticed at the website that the demonstrator slightly pulls down and out on the subjects arm. There is a ballance point and if you slightly pull down and towards the subject, he/she will be in the ballance zone where all the pressure is easily distributed into the body. However; and again, if the demonstrator slightly pushes out at the elbow the pressure just pushes you off ballance. I have done this with friends telling them to focus on red and that color has some effect on our strength and ballance.

It also makes a great pickup line. You do the opposite, push on a victims arm inward, they stay ballanced and strong. Then tell them to concentrate on sex, then just before you apply the pressure down and slightly away from the vic you add: "sex, with me" and she/he will helplessly fall over.
