Here's the reason I bring this up...A couple months ago two guys came into the store wearing these bracelets and began a conversation about them, I had never seen them before and then they start their sales pitch, now I'm skeptical as all hell. They ask me if I wanted to take a "test" with them about their virtue, I said ok. I put my arms out horizontally to the sides and he pushed down on them, quite easily and then I put a bracelet on and he did it again, but with much more resistance. The second test involved me putting my arms behind me finger locked together and forced down enough to make me lose my balance drastically. I did it with the bracelet and I couldn't be budged!
I'm still skeptical as hell but then again I haven't explored argonite either.
