did they try every combination and use "placebo" bands?
did they use an actual power band in a first test, then repeat the test again without it?

The issue is that the the most stringent and respected scientific protocol can be applied to see if they really do work but no one has done it. Not even the company that makes them!!! A double blind randomised control trial would be so easy to perform and it would give everyone a definitive answer. But Powerband wont do it because more than likley they will be found out as frauds!!!

carey, how can you be so against skins (which are scientifically proven) and then spend $60 on a piece of elastic which has no evidence of it working?

One of my mates said let me where it and see what I think, I handed it over then walked to my fridge to get another beer. As it happens I fell flat on my bum in the kitchen. Admittingly I had a few beers in the tank but it proved that I was unstable on my feet without it as I did not fall over earlier getting a beer.
