TRION:Z

Does anyone have/have tried one of these things? I saw the link when i was lookin around at golfwrx. Seems to be somethin along the lines of a q-link or any of those "positive energy" bracelet/necklaces. Lots of it is in the head, but obv if its in your head it'll work a bit. Also they come in many diff kool lookin colours

Here's the link:

I have one and dont think it does a damn thing. Sure as hell doesnt relax me any or help my aching body. Looks nice though.

I have the Q-link Bracelet and necklace. Glad I bought them for a piece of jewelry and not to fix any aching bones I may have, or for undue stress, because if I forget to put them on I only notice because my wrist and neck feel different because they are not weighting it down.

People always ask me how well they work. I usually tell them about the same as my watch but they don't tell time, and were cheaper. They obviously look nice enough though, or people wouldn't ask. I used to have the Sobano's Bracelets but the magnets would fall out and be kind of uncomfortable, and the finish would wear off much quicker.

Ooops, I forgot to put mine on again this morning, better go get it now

While I am a skeptic, I might have to add that this might be why it hasn't been working....LOL.

What colour is yours Lyle?

I think a major part as to why these dont work for some people, as you said Rock, is because they are skeptic about them to start with.

I think they don't work because it's a gimmick.

Yeah, I'm one of those, Sandpiper...

It is mind over matter my friend, mind over matter. If I told you that duct taping a twinkie to your left buttcheek will facilitate the absorption of highly concentrated mineral deposits that clog your muscle tissue and impede your swing, and you believed me, it would work. If you think it works, your right. If you don't think it works, your right.

Me too.

I carry a rock in my pocket for good luck. So far, no lottery, no Lambourghini, and my GF still wants to talk "afterwards".

So much for good luck.

In your own words, this may be part of the problem.

Replacing one lucky rock with the other. The other lucky one doesn't do you much good on the dresser, or in your pocket.

I have been by the booth, always a bit busy so I have not stopped and chatted as there is so much at the show to see. To be honest, I have probably only seen about half of the show floor over the two days. I have not journeyed into the clothing/fahion land as of yet and I am not sure that I will ever get over there.

I never take my TRIONZ off. I wore it all the time I was in Hawaii. I wear it surfing, and in the shower. I love it. I had knee surgery and I can honestly say that it makes my joints not ache as much.

I suggest buying them off Ebay though. You can get them for 10 bucks or so.

If me not believing in something is the reason it doesnt work then it probably doesnt really work. I dont believe in TV yet that sucker turns on every time.
I had a copper bracelet before that worked great at turning my wrist green, other than that BUBKIS.

Here's the link:
http://www.trionz.com/index.php

(Doc, plz dont ZAP me for putting up the link)
I stopped by the TrionZ booth for you yesterday to see if I could some more information on the technolgy. Unfortunately, they were not giving away any free samples. I got a hold of one of the reps and he ran through the whole demonstration for me with the magets and the ion meter comparing the TrionZ to a couple of the other popular bracelets. According to TrionZ, the other folks zap their metal bracelets or rubber covered metal bracelets with electricity to get the negative ion flow that will wear off over time. The TrionZ's fabric make up along with some proprietary process allows the bracelet to maintain its ionic properties so that it keeps on working over time. The magnet portion of the demo was very interesting. By polarizing their magents differently (top and bottom North and South versus left and right North and South) and then aligning the magnets with alternating poles around the whole bracelet they create a stronger and more effective magetic field. He demonstrated the process using several magets and iron filings in a clear plastic box to show hoe the magnetic field develops with the different magnet configurations. As far as how the ions and magnetic field work to improve your life, I have no clue. He told me, but apparently it did not stick inside my brain which was still contemplating the difference between the TM Burner and Superquad.

By the time he finished the little demo there was quite a crowd standing around me asking questions. Free Samples? No. Any discounts? Yes, wholesale pricing at $10 a piece for the bracelet, $15 a piece for the necklace istead of reatail at $20 and $30. I was still a bit sceptical, but for $10 why not?

Unfortunately, it did nothing for my sore feet and shoulder for the rest of the show. I wore it home and out to dinner with my wife, still nothing different. Once I got home again I was starting to feel a bit better than I had in days. When I woke up this morning, I felt great. Not empowered ready to take on the world, but when the alarm rang at 4AM and I got up I was not sore at all. My left knee (3 surgeries, 2 minor, 1 major reconstruction) did not ache at all. I felt good (well as good as you can at 4AM, the bracelet has zero effectiveness on sleepiness.) Maybe it was the euphoria that I would get to spend the day sitting down at my desk at work rather than running around the Orange County Convention Cetner for 9 hours or the glass of Merlot I had for dinner, but I definitely felt better than I have in a long time when I first get up in the morniing.

I have been sceptical about these products for years, but I am starting to wonder if the thing is actually working. I am not sore at all this morning and my left knee has never felt this good in a long time.

Hopefully this will be a long term effect.

Oh, and byt the way Sandpiper, I got mine in Red and Blue (Red Sox and Patriots colors )
