Thank you so, so much, I needed that!
 
Sorry, can you expand on that measurement a little. It currently doesn't sound any different to the negative ions around you whilst you are out in the fresh air riding the horses to be honest. And how are those ions being produced from the bracelet?
 
It seems odd to have no mention of negative ions on the website,

http://www.mojoeurope.com/about.asp
which also says this (I am questioning the constant state of research statement)

'We are in a constant state of research and development to stay at the forefront of this exciting new frontier. Watch for new products coming, and check out our "Opportunity Rocks" page if you would like to get involved in this fast growing and dynamic industry.'

also from the help http://www.mojoeurope.com/help.asp if you click on I need more information about this product it takes you nowhere.
 
Only 1000? Per bracelet?

I'm having such fun. I haven't discussed ions with this level of seriousness since my biomedical and bio chemical degree days.
 
I'd just like to pick up on something Becky has said in an earlier post - about them not being con-artists out to con people out of money. I would like to state categorically now that I do not for one second think they are con-artists or trying to con people, I think they genuinely believe these work. All kinds of people believe all kinds of weird and wonderful things help them, not least all the top riders who have lucky x/y/z - that doesn't mean it has any effect on them apart from the psychological.

That said, there are a lot of randomised trials which show that the mind can do amazing things if the person just believes in it - my favourite recent one is the trial which showed that if a patient believes they are being given a strong pain killer, they are likely to request less of it - so they believe the analgesic effect is greater than it really is. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed&uid=11406341&cmd=showdetailview&indexed=google

Therefore the effects people perceive from using these bands may be real to them, even if a controlled double blind study would (or as is the case has!) show that the bands do precisely nothing.
 
Thankyou spottedcat for not defending me but stating your feelings on the subject I was beginning to feel a bit of joke but I really do believe these help people not everyone granted but if we can help people feel better in themselves and they're day to day life that's what matters to us
 
Ditto SC that I don't think the people selling these bands are con artists. I fully accept that many people believe they work - but then the placebo effect is very well documented!
The main issue I have is with any product that has a flashy website making various claims about the benefits of their technology without a scrap of actual evidence to back it up.
 
Found out at the weekend that my mum bought one of these at Osberton, safe to say I couldn't take the pee too long without her bringing up the magnets and homeopathy stuff I use on my horse. :rolleyes:
 
Ah, thanks!!

Have just settled down with a nice brandy, so mebbe this a bit teccy for this time of night, but will have a look when in right frame of mind.

Am not sure about them TBH. had a look on their website and their "athletes testimonies" were from people no-one has ever heard of and certainly no "celebrities" from the equestrian world. Now if William FP or Mary King for instance had used them and was convinced, then that might be something, but I've yet to be convinced, other than maybe placebo effect.

As I'm employed in the fitness industry (plus have a dicky knee and a dicky back) I'd be very interested IF something was proven to be effective at improving performance AND pain reduction, but I'd need more scientific trials, personally.
 
It's worth mentioning Derren Brown's Experiment's here I feel...

Did anyone see the one on luck?! Derren Brown made seemingly unlucky people 'lucky' by instilling it into their community.
He started by sending a reporter in to ask people a very simple question "have you heard about the lucky dog?" from there, he cleverly managed to pursuede a community that a statue no one took any notice of was 'lucky' and they should pat it on the head...and the more the rumour grew the more people were patting on the head and then associating luck with it, from winning a couple of quid on a scratch card, to a new job etc. He even got one bloke to bet his life savings on the roll of a dice.

My point is... there isn't any harm in creating something that *might* benefit people. Derren Brown lied to people - even to the man who put his life savings on a bet but it didn't hurt anyone. In fact it gave them positivity and enriched their lives by making them look for opporunities they previously would have dismissed because they thought they were 'unlucky'.

So surely MOJO bands are similar to this? I see no harm if people want to pay for them and if they then, because they are expecting to be more focused and calmer and blah blah, become those things because they are making themselves more focused, calmer, more flexible etc by expecting it and looking for it?

Anyway my two pennies worth - can't explain how it would work on animals tbh!!
 
My browband has kryptonite crystals in it so there! :p

The guy on the MOJO stand at Olympia also told me they'd been published in the lancet ;) I can't find any trace of this though.

Give him his due, it was a beautifully rehearsed speech he gave.

J&C
 
I feel I should add my input as a MOJO convert.
I heard about these and though what tosh, but I was curious to go and see them at Olympia.
In May last year I broke my left thumb (took off a big chunk right on the joint) and ever since I haven't had a full range of movement and it's been very painful. In October I smashed my right wrist on the pommel of my stock saddle when one of my youngsters had a hissy fit, I must have damaged a tendon or something as my little finger and the one next to it caused me immense pain when bending them.
I bought a MOJO at Olympia with the mindset that if it doesn't work then whats £30. Within 24 hours all pain had subsided and I had all movement back, the only time I experience any pain is when somebody shakes my right hand (thats brings me to tears).
Is there any science behind it? No. Does it work for me? Yes. I will be purchasing the horse ones to use on my remaining youngster as she has a few screws loose, an ideal candidate :D
