Check out this request, for this amazing product, maybe this is why Australia didn't win the Olympics!

But don't worry I am currently working on converting a sea container of 'balance bands' into 'wind bands', 100% guaranteed to give you a positive wind experience.


Good Afternoon,

My name is Henry Lee, one of the creators of +Positive Energy Bands (www.positiveenergybands.com <http://www.positiveenergybands.com/>; ). Along with the modern look, each 100% medical grade silicone band has a hologram with embedded negative ions that are released to improve an individual's energy, strength and balance. The bands work to sustain the late night office worker or the athlete training for a marathon, while the understated design and quality materials make them a good choice for adults and children. We also carry various yoga wear and accessories made out of bamboo fabric. We currently have placed our product within 74 London Drugs stores located around Western Canada and in Vancouver, along with Fitness Town stores in eight locations in British Columbia. We also cater to the online market with sales through Walmart.com and Amazon.com.

We would like the information on the possibility of our products being carried by WA Surf stores. We are beginning to have a stronger presence in Europe, US, and Australia starting with our partnership with Sch?n! Magazine for the 2012 Olympics. We look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Henry Lee

I know a guy who embedded one in his board. Helps with landings apparently.
Nick Cave wrote a song about Henry Lee. He gets thrown down a deep deep well.

Power Balance were busted by the ACCC last year. Anyone found to be selling them and claiming that they are anything beyond a rubber band are subject to a $10,000 per incident fine.

You should send him the ACCC link and ask him if he thinks he can sell them for more than $10k each in Australia, in which case the proposal might make sense...

I can't quite work out the link between a hologram and the release of ions? Everything else is suitably vague for snake oil such as this, but the hologram and ions are oddly specific. Theoretically, a device which creates a hologram could also release ions, but the hologram itself is nothing but an image. The only thing I know of that comes off an image is photons, either created or reflected...

I'm sure they meant Photons then!
Don't know if they will sell for more than 10K each though, so may sit this one out.

Maybe he has one on his wrist and is wanking himself off so violently that the static is building up and emitting ions ?

It doesn't say what the hologram is. Perhaps it is pretty lifelike ?

But these are +Positive Energy Bands. These are the real deal, man! Not those false power balance bands...any fool could see they were a con. But these +Positives, man, they're the real thing, man. I mean, they got a "plus sign" in front of the word "Positive" so they gotta be good, yeah. Double positive! I gotta have me some of these!
