Our brains are very powerful.

Simply thinking that a bracelet is giving you better balance, or putting you in a better mood, may actually accomplish those things through increased confidence.

And to the comment above... Chiropractic has been accepted by the AMA to be legitimate therapy for over 30 years.
Some Chiropractors make ignorant claims, but a vast majority of them are legitimate practitioners.



obviously their brains aren't very powerful in the first place if they believe in ridiculous things.

hey great thanks for coming out and bringing a strawman to the table. it's not like I could be referring to the theory of how it works or anything, right?

You can generate your own placebo by believing that you are better at something because you switched from regular milk to Soy.

Dark Coffee to Mild.

No need to spend $30 on a piece of plastic that costs pennies to make.
