    I find it hard to believe they work when i've seen them online for £10 each or in high end shop for £6 and then last week I saw them in Poundland, yes they were £1 each. I guess if I'm going to try one it would be from there!

    I am not familiar with these ones, truthfully. There is truth to copper therapy/bracelets and pressure point jewelry...however you can expect very subtle changes. I wouldn't expect grand results. I am a naturapathic, hippy dippy herb pusher... and have used copper/pressure point therapy in the past...but again it is subtle. Again, not familiar with the aforementioned. Sadly, a lot of stuff is marketed just to sell and not to work ;)

    The company that sells the Powerbands made a statement saying that the bracelets don't do anything... don't waste your money lol

    It's a scam..I watched a show on diff stuff and it was one. It showed the way they were pushing to keep the balance and then showed if you just pushed slightly forward while pushing down they would fall over. I also wanted one until I seen this.
