Late Friday, while clearing the clutter and accumulated unfinished "stuff" from my desk in preperation for a "clean" start in 2012, I "found" my Power band. As previously mentioned, I had stopped wearing it after deciding there were no noticeable "benefits" gained from having worn it for a couple days after receiving it back in November.
This thread made me consider that I had not given the Power Band and the negative-positive Ions thing a truly fair and impartial "trial". I had not been scientific in my approach, nor unbiased. I scoffed at the "FAQ's", and did not believe the claims.
So I decided to wear it for awhile, and to truly observe any differences in my energy and/or body. I even prepared to "log" any changes, the same way as when the doctor changes a prescription or puts one onto a new regimen.
I badly shattered my left wrist (18 breaks & fractures, 5 days in hospital, almost 90 days with an "external fixator", 3 "procedures", 2 pins, 9 months of 3x week therapy) back in '06. The original prognosis I received from the Emergency Room Dr was "that's about as bad as it gets" (I call it Phamtom Pain and mostly have learned to cope without the need for any medication.)
I seem to always be aware of the area of my left wrist. I have 90%+ movement, and do not consider it disabled, although I do have some "funny" nerves in the area, and it often "hurts". I very rarely take any paid medication, and believe my "wrist pain" in phamtom pain, similar to an amputee who's missing limb "hurts".
So I decided to once again begin wearing the Power Band on my left wrist.
The results so far..... Much too soon to say, or suggest any noticeable improvements or benefits. I do intend to give this a fair and impartial trial.
After all, there are many therapies that "work" for various "ailments", that don't seem to have a clear scientific or biological explanation. But they seem to work without harm.
I've seen and experieced how "Accupressure" works, for some people, to resolve tooth pain, sea/motion sickness, or nausea.
I'll be back in several days, perhaps longer, or sooner, with the "results" of my unscientific experiment.
I figure it can't permantly "hurt", so why not try.
