More snake oil?
Does anyone believe in this?

"I put my first Power/Balance bracelet on two weeks before the National Championships. I took 2nd place and felt amazing. Race after race
I got faster and faster. I just finished my season with a bronze medal at the World Championships in Australia. I have never felt clearer, calmer or
more focused. Power/Balance has taken me from good to great!" Female MTB Rider, Willow Koerber
So if I bought 200 of them and covered myself from head to foot, obviously leaving a gap to see through and breathe, I could be olympic champion?

Ok, I'm convinced ........ until I saw the price!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKK!!! 
I'd be looking at £ 6 k but it'll be worth it when I stand on the podium to receive my gold medal from some foreign dolly bird.

I wonder if they do a smaller one for if there are other parts of one's body which need energising

a guy in work with me sells them.
He bought a job lot off the bay and does them at £20 each IIRC.
He "tests" you by making you balance on one leg then pushing your arm down until you fall over, then you put it on and the
"test" is repeated and hey presto, you're better.
But, if you do it with the wristband on first, then take it off, you're better at balancing without it, as your muscles have just warmed up a
bit.
Complete tosh if you ask me, but there are some high profile people getting paid to... wait, sorry, I mean who actually swear by them.

The person felt great as they got 2nd place, not due to some bit of silicone plastic strapped to their wrist.
They make you feel better, as you have something that others dont, and that gives you an edge! (Beyond the edge of reason if yo ask me)
IMHO Snake Oil. I would like to see a set of scientific test results first!
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
