Anyone here use Q-Ray?

[Jayar]

I've been using it for about 3 months now, and was recommended to try it after a car accident that left me with some pretty noticeable joint pain. I absolutely LOVE it, aside from which, it's right sexy, and a great conversation piece among the athletic guys I've been going for lately. I was wondering if anyone else here uses it and has had either positive, negative, or neutral experiences?

 

I know it isn't a placebo effect, because I honestly didn't expect it to work. I even saved the receipt and guarantee card for returning it inside of the 30-day trial period. Anyway, just curious if there are any other Q-Ray users.

A bracelet with some magnetization? Solving all your health problems? No.

Oh, I've read all those, thanks... There are similar "reports" that negate other alternative therapies that I KNOW for a fact work. I think it's because in general fewer people profit off alternative therapies. Our medical system is basically a huge conspiracy anyway. As I said, I didn't expect (or even WANT) it to work. Still doesn't negate or explain my personal experiences. So I guess that's a "no" you haven't tried it, eh?

You've read "all those"? Or, you just read a couple and made a decision based on that? If you actually read them all then you'd realize that the research is spot on and it's a scam.

 

Just because "similar reports" negate other forms of alternate therapy it does not then mean that any particular report is false. Lots of alternate therapies work, and there's lot of evidence to substantiate their effectiveness. This isn't one of them.

 

"Our medical system is basically a huge conspiracy." Generalize much? Everyone is looking for a magic bullet. You say that it's not a placebo, and yet you know why you bought the bracelet and you wouldn't have bought it otherwise. thereforeeee, by definition, it's a placebo. There are many gaps in your logic here.

 

No, it would be quite foolish for me to use the q-bracelet. Haven't tried it and won't.

I'm not an idiot, Jettison. I've read "all those" and more. Believe me. I'm not a religiously brainwashed individual either. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being skeptic (with anything) and 10 being easily convinced, I'm probably a 2 or 3. I didn't even make any decision. A friend of mine on the rodeo circuit recommended I try it and I laughed it off. Eventually I was getting sick of taking the things I was taking for the pain after my car accident, and told him that I'd try it just so he would shut up. It has a 30-day money back guarantee, so I had nothing to lose. I also upped the ante, and told my friend that if it DIDN'T work, not only did he have to shut up, but he had to break my new colt free of charge. There was ABSOLUTELY nothing in it working for me.

 

There is no scam. If you don't want the bracelet, send it back. Or hand-deliver it back and have even the shipping reimbursed. It's the only way I would have tried it, because like you, I didn't even want to waste a stupid $5 shipping fee on it if it didn't work. I did not need to return it, and it looks like I'll be breaking my colt myself.

 

As for reports on alternative therapies, nope I don't believe that the fact that they conflict with other beliefs and experiences makes them false. But neither do they NEGATE the experiences of users of the alternative therapies. The articles you posted do not prove that the Q-Ray is a scam. They just prove that it doesn't have any basis in SCIENCE. I am not arguing that. But then neither do many of the best therapies in life, and I have personal experience with a few extremely controversial therapies. I honestly believe it's an individual thing, which is why I asked for USER RESPONSES not just general article posting.

 

I actually agree that it could possibly be all in my head... But you know what? If that's the case, great! Mind over matter is a helluva lot cheaper than drugs. I don't personally care why or how it works, it just does. For me. And I am sure there are those it does NOT work for as well. This post was (and is) soliciting responses (positive, negative, neutral) from people who have used the product.

Here is where we agree... your last paragraph. I happen to be a HUGE fan of placebo. In fact, I think that placebo is the most powerful form of therapy ever invented.

 

I read a book called "We Are What We Believe We Are". I believe in the premise that the mind/body connection is a lot more signifcant then most of us understand. So from that sense, does the Q-ray work. Yes!!!! Heck, I'd by stock.

 

There is a passage in Don Miguel Ruiz's book, The Mastery of Love, that discusses the power of suggestion. If you go up to someone and exclaim, "You know, I just have to tell you, I noticed you and I couldn't help but speak up. Your coloring, it's just so, well... do you mind if I confide in you? Yes? Good. My brother had the exact same skin coloring right before he got cancer. It's subtle, but you can definitely see the difference. You look the same way! I don't want to alarm you, and it's probably nothing, but the resemblence is striking. I'll never forget how that looked."

 

Say that to someone who is impressionable, and they'll develop cancer in 1 year. That's Ruiz's premise in the book. I can't say that I believe that it's that black and white, but I do believe there is something to what he says. You are whatever you believe you are. It's amazing just how often that's true.

 

So, if Q-Ray have developed the greatest placebo of all time then count me in. Heck, I'd even buy one for myself. I won't believe, however, that magnets that are, perhaps, able to raise your body temperature in a few areas some untraceable measure of degrees is what's responsible for anyone feeling better. The bracelet is a constant reminder of good health. It feels like a little guardian angel that you wear on your wrist, and one feels protected. thereforeeee, they feel better. It's win/win.

 

I think I may develop a Q-Ray underwear collection. You will be surrounded by healing love. ;-)
