I know we're not rolling in dough, but should we be accepting money from a company that admitted their product is a scam?

Why do they need scientific evidence to back this claim?  Is there scientific evidence that "every Pepsi refreshes the world"?

(But, I get your point.)

Power Band is "outed" for lacking clinical proof in the same week that the world learns that the placebo effect is real - even when the duped patients know they're being duped.  What more "proof" of veracity could they need?

I knew a doctor once who routinely prescribed the drug obecalp for his patients when they had symptoms that he couldn't figure out a cause for.  He said it worked about 90 percent of the time and should be classified as a wonder drug.  Every pharmacist in town knew how to fill these prescriptions because he told them to read the name of the drug from right to left.

The interesting thing is that I've heard a lot of people insist even after seeing this study that they really do work.

How many of our athletes wear them? I bet there is a good number.

I've seen the commercials and I still don't understand what they are supposed to do.  When you say they really work what does that mean?  Do they keep you from being knocked off balance if you are walking in the mall with your hands interlocked behind you and some random guy tries to pull down on your hands? I hate it when that happens.

It's not me that says they work. In fact, I'm certain they do nothing except perhaps give a false sense of improved skills. Most of the people I've heard say they work do not elaborate. Maybe people perform better on the weird tests such as the mall incident you described, but they're not going to perform better in a basketball or football game by wearing them.

Everyone knows someone who takes a vitamin for everything. Do your nails crack? Take this. Itchy skin? Take that. One guy in my office complex takes a bushel basket of vitamins, not once, but twice a day! People want to believe! They buy worthless stuff all the time. Always have and always will. It doesn't have to work! The thinking is "it can't hurt, and it may work."

I have a limited (  ) amount of selected (  ) office supplies available for purchase from me (     ) which could (  ) improve the quality of your life, work productivity and income.

Of course, I can only accept cash.

Order now;  supplies will not last.

I wasn't trying to imply that you were. I just can't figure out exactly what they are claiming they do.
