I saw this "miracle bracelet", advertised on TV last night and just had to check out their website. With this device, you could win the Olympic marathon or a PGA title. But I wonder what would happen if all your competitors had one too?
Qray
I have worn a Q-Ray for the past 13 or so years, having replaced them every 2 years or so when the pain I have in my back and in other places from fibromyalgia, would start to come back. The new Q-rays always worked, even though I could not afford them. About three months ago, even though I had replaced the Q-ray (right from the factory) I noticed it was not keeping my pain away any more, and gradually it got worse and worse. I am trying to find out if the body builds up a resistance to whatever it is that makes Q-ray work for so many people. It kept me sane for all those years, and also many people that I recommended it to (not everyone). I took it off for a few days to see if I can "reset" my body to react positively to the Q-ray again, and tonight I put it back on. I did notice an immediate relief, not 100%, but much better. I would appreciate anyone who has knowledge of Q-ray stopping it's effectiveness after a period of time. Thanks. Lynn

Lynn,
You do realize this is a forum about hoaxes, don't you? I think it's safe to say the Q-Ray does not lose any of its effectiveness after a period of time.

Bob,
If something "works" for you, it could be fine, provided your are not missing out on a proven treatment that is not just "in your mind". But perhaps you didn't read the rest of this thread. If so, you would have missed the part about Q-Ray's court case where they admitted their product has no proven science behind it. In fact they chose to say it was based on ancient Chinese medicine only because it sounded nice. Therefore the only explanation for its apparent effectiveness is that it is all "in your mind". Unless, that is, you choose to believe Q-Ray accidently discovered a miracle medical device when their only intent was to scam people. What are the odds against that?
Ira,
At least you caught my sarcasm. I don't thing Bob did though and somehow I don't think Lynn will either.

O well.I wasent here to be sarcastic.I think if you believe in something ,and it works for you,well who cares what others think.I certainly dont.All i know is that i feel much better since i got my q ray,and i have friends that say the same thing.So why would it matter how many of you dont believe it!!

Bob,
It doesn't matter to me if you believe the Q-Ray works. What matters is, Q-Ray makes claims that are demonstrably false; that's the main issue. You came here voluntarily and supported those false claims so naturally I couldn't let them go unchallenged. If the Q-Ray bracelet makes you feel better, I'm glad for you. Perhaps you just didn't realize this forum is about hoaxes, not "how Q-Ray has changed my life".

Capt Al,
I must take issue with your comments.
The Q-Ray bracelet DOES work ! ( for some of us )
The question might be - why?, but for me, and others, the thing is a blessing.
Besides, it looks good !

Well excuse me!!...I have not come here to make false claims.I`m simply telling it, how it is for me. And i dont believe that it`s a hoex.Copper,and other natural elaments do help people,and have for years.It can be good for those with arthritis ect..
Q-ray is just a fancy,and fashionable way to get the same elaments.It`s a company that took advantage of somthing thats been around for years.I do believe they are way "overpriced", If you wanted to take the time to make your own,it was cost you about $2 to bend and heat some pipes ect... im sure it would work just as well.However,who wants a old bent up copper pipe around there whrist!! lol,yes lol.
I did not come here to protest,or promote the q-ray.Its my birthday today,and ive had mine 2 years.I first wrote to this post the very same time i decided to try it!!
I always thought is was bogus before then.But as to date,i dont feel that its a hoex or a scam.Yes i agree there claims are highly exzaggerated,just like millions of products are. There are no miracle cures TO WHAT AILS US HUMANS.
I do not take any persription drugs,and i believe that healthy eating ,and exersise is the real trick.So thats how i live,so my q-ray is just a bonus,and maybe a mental reminder that ist all about a good healthy well bieng.Wearing the q-ray is certainly not going to hurt....So again i say: as for me it definitly works,and it is a nice arm band too.If i die tommorow,at least i would go knowing my last day was a good one.So hoex ,or not.It wont hurt to try it for yourself.
