I'm no scientist! But someone needs to tell me how a metal wire covered in plastic does anything to "Renew" your health? I get up this morning, and flip on the TV to catch up on the news! There on Fox is a commercial for iRenew Bracelets! For the low price of $20.00 you get this amazing product! How does it work? Well the website doesn't say! But it does say that putting on this metal and plastic bracelet will give you the following:
* Increase in Strength*
* Greater Flexibility*
* Enhanced Balance*
I say Hogwash! One of their featured Testimonials is from a Dr. Scott Becker. I'm not a betting man, but I'm confident, he is on payroll, if not the driving force behind this scam!
Supposedly, These products are "infused with our BioField Technology™ which interacts subtly, yet very effectively with your body's biofield." What is a BioField? According to the Website, "Stress to our body's energy system, commonly known as the biofield, is delivered to us in many formats. From daily stress to electromagnetic radiation, these unnatural energy fields are now believed by many scientists and doctors to disrupt our sensitive biofield. This stress we endure is believed by many to cause us to lose energy and become weaker with lowered immunity to disease and illness."
I would argue that Stress is a very natural occurance! Sure, it's not one that I like, but it's natural! Although I can agree that too much stress can result in unwanted health effects, and one should find a way to release, or escape daily stress, I again, will argue that wearing a bracelet, isn't going to solve that problem! What about the fact that they "infuse it with their BioField technology"? I suggest that you the reader Google "BioField Technology." I'm pretty sure that you will find, as I did, that scientists can't even agree that there is such a thing! So just how does this company Infuse something that scientists can't agree exists, into this braclet?
Doing a quick Google of reviews for this bracelet shows lots of organization on this "companies" part. Reviews at the top of the page one are largely favorable. But once you read them, you realize they are copied and pasted from the same talking points on the company web site. Probably done by the same person.
And then, there are the Youtube videos.

What I find interesting here is that these videos seem to focus on how your balance is suddenly improved the moment you put this bracelet on. Why? Yet, the web site never offers an explanation as to why? If they aren't sure why, how do we know it isn't the bracelet but the guy standing with the test subjects that is making the difference??
Finally, at the bottom of the web page:
"These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease."
This ought to tell you all you need to know! Come on America! Wise up! This product will do nothing other than to make you think you are somehow healthier by wearing it! If that works for you, then maybe the company is smarter than I think! But whatever you do, don't buy this based upon it's claims of better health. If you want better health, then consider more exercise and diet. And to Fox News, shame on you for allowing such bull crap to be advertised on your network!
In closing I just want to say that I soon will be offering a single white sequined glove. Put this glove on, and suddenly you will become a great dancer and singer. You can moonwalk to work, sing and perform to millions! Side effects may include an attraction to young boys.
Disclaimer: If the above sounds really stupid, maybe you get the point about a metal and plastic bracelet that claims to give you better health. If it doesn't sound stupid, then here is a link to buy a bracelet that will make you think you are healthy just by wearing it. And if you really want to improve your life, try Jesus! I'm serious!

Great conclusion to a well written, and to the point product review!
I hadn't seen the commercial until today. I find it hard to believe folks believe that BS, then spend their hard earned money on unproven (by reputable scientists and medical doctors) trinkets. Those same folks need to put that same money back in their pockets before ordering, break out their bibles and read for the same amount of time they would have to work for that same money, as they search for God's will for themselves in Jesus. Then, if they are unsatisfied after a serious search, they can pull that same money back out of their pockets (considering it a refund from God), and buy a cheesy bracelet that has no health benefits or aesthetic value.
Do you have any of those sequined gloves left?
Do smile,

I like how the guy selling the product "shows" the customers how much their balance improves instantly by wearing the bracelet.
I need one of those white gloves, too!

My eyesight was so bad that if I wasn't wearing my glasses I couldn't even go to the bathroom without peeing on my feet.
Well, I took my extra bracelet (the FREE one that only cost $8(non-refundable) to ship), opened it up, and used duct tape (almost as useful as my iRenew bracelet) to tape each end to one eyebrow.
Would you believe it worked ?!?
I mean, I can’t get it off without ripping my eyebrows out of my face by the roots, but why would I want to ? It really doesn’t look all that bad. Actually, if you look at it quick, it just looks like a very well trimmed uni-brow (this bracelet is the black one).
And not only that, I can now watch the game without even having to turn on the TV !!
Please, everyone, do yourselves a favor and buy the iRenew bracelet. You’ll be so glad you did. I promise !
