In 1998 manufacturer's Web site stated:
"Q-RAY
bracelets are designed to achieve many of the same goals
as traditional Chinese acupuncture. Acupuncture was developed
to balance the body's Yin (negative ions) and Yang (positive
ions), the two inseparable, complementary energies that
permanently circulate in the human body. When these energies
become unbalanced, the body's functioning is thought to
be altered -- which can be at least very annoying and at
worst debilitating, depending on the size and nature of
the energy imbalance. Oriental medicine, through acupuncture,
is believed to regulate these two energies, discharging
from the body excess positive ions and providing access
to blocked negative ions, by stimulating meridian acupuncture
points.
In
the human body, which is electromagnetic by nature, biomagnetic
alpha and beta waves circulate throughout the vital centers.
When the flow is cut off and these alpha and beta waves
become stagnant in one particular area of the body, bioelectrical
alterations and ionic imbalances can result. Designed by
Dr. Polo with polarized multi-metallic metals, the bracelet's
circular form and spherical terminals offer low resistance
to the bioelectrical conductibility of the alpha and beta
waves, facilitating the discharge of excess positive ions
or static electricity. Excess of positive ions is associated
with poor nutrition, incorrect breathing, sedentary life
style, and the use of electrical instruments or exposure
to EMF (Electronic Magnetic Field). Loss of negative ions
is associated with symptoms such as anxiety, stress, fear,
hatred, and physical exhaustion.
The
bracelet's effectiveness is grounded in the phenomenon of
radioelectrical "Resonance." balancing of positive
and negative ions within the human body. Because of its
unique characteristics and specialized configuration, the
bracelet is considered to be an excellent Resonator of electromagnetic
waves. The first investigations into the science behind
the Resonator were initiated by Heinrich Rudolf Hertz. The
Resonator designed by Hertz consisted of a metal spiral
with a condenser on each end. Building on the works of Faraday
and Maxwell, Hertz determined the precise longitudes of
electromagnetic waves. It is not known whether Hertz investigated
the applications of the Resonator on the human body. Manuel
L. Polo, however, focused on improving human life through
the proper balancing of positive and negative ions within
the human body."
The FTC has operation Cure
All - Read more - Looking to cure a serious ailment? Unfortunately,
consumers spend millions of dollars every year on unproven
- and often useless - health products and services. Health
fraud trades on false hope. It promises quick cures for
dozens of medical conditions - from arthritis and obesity
to osteoporosis, cancer and AIDS.
Fraudulently marketed health products can
keep people from the medical treatment they need, and some
can cause serious harm.
The Federal Trade Commission is targeting
false and unsubstantiated health claims on the Internet
through Operation Cure.All - a law enforcement and consumer
education campaign. This website offers information for
consumers on how to recognize health fraud, guidance for
businesses on how to market health products and services
truthfully, and information about the FTC's initiatives.
