I brought it I admit it. But does it really work? I brought a Renew Bracelet and I have been wearing it. It is suppost to help with balance, well I don't know if it helps with that, maybe. But it does seem to take away my sinus headaches. I have these daily and ususally have to medicate for them, since I have the bracelet on I haven't had to do this. On the other hand when I forget to put it on I get a little dizzy. Has anyone else had experience with this. Do you think it's all in my head? Pun intended.

What you're experiencing is the placebo effect. There's no such thing as a bracelet that can affect your balance or your headaches. For a while, you'll tend to feel better wearing the bracelet, just because you expect to. Or hope to. And the fact that you bought it means you have an investment that you want to be worthwhile, so that influences your mind toward thinking the bracelet is doing you some good. All of that will wear off eventually. Another factor is that I'm sure there are times your balance is okay or you're not having headaches. If you start wearing the bracelet during one of those times, then you're most likely to give the credit to the bracelet, instead of remembering that you don't always have the problems.

yeah its placebo alright, i never really believed in those bracelets, most of my friends wear them at work and i was like"does that really work?" but anyway, if you keep telling yourself that your mind will actually accomplish it believe it or not, its just a matter of confession, daily confession that we sometimes we accomplish the unthinkable.

I don't know if scam or not, but i know that the humman brain is a very powerfull but influencing device. I think that when started wearing the bracelot you knew what effect will have (from the brochure) and your brain remembered it, and send the signal. I heard that a guy cured himself by saing " now i defeat the sickness" every day for 1-2 years, and it was cancer in an advance faze.

I dare not say whether your bracelet is real or fake but the market has been flooded with a lot of such stuff that promises the magic of 'cure all'. I'm afraid doctors will be out of job if the claim is true. I have bought a black stone pendant from a direct selling company which guarantee the wearer to be strong and energetic. I bought it thinking that I'll have the strength of an incredible hulk. To my dismay, the stone is powerless as I don't feel any changes in me and my money gone for nothing.

Hi savypat, I'm reminded of a time about sixty years ago, when one of my brothers was having nosebleeds on an almost daily basis, and there was no doctor where we lived. A friend of my parents heard about it and got a piece of green ribbon and tied around his neck, saying that it would stop the bleeding. I have no idea why, but today he's 84 and hasn't had a nosebleed since that day. I don't remember how long he wore the ribbon, but it probably wasn't more than a week or two. Continue to wear the bracelet and if it works - well, don't try to fix it. Blessings.

Not a clue, but if it works for you, what the heck!
