Q-Ray




Q-Ray is an ionized bracelet that was marketed as a cure for arthritis pain. The Q-Ray uses language that sounds scientific but, the language that the makes of the Q-Ray use is not scientific at all. The makers of Q-Ray use pseudoscience language. As the book points out pseudoscience claims do not undergo peer reviews like real science does. The Q-Ray doesn't use testing or peer reviews, no scientific studies were done to back up the claims that the Q-Ray makes. Q-Ray claims it relieves pain, improves performance, restores energy and improves muscle flexibility. The makers of Q-Ray use testimonials from people who are not authorities in the field which can be very misleading for people and lead them to believe something that is not true. The Q-Ray claims to work by using natural holistic pain relief. The bracelet also claims to balance a person's positive and negative ions. This balance of ions will give give people pain relief.


The problem is Q-Ray doesn't do any of the things that it claims it can do. As the book notes there is no such thing as ionic imbalance of the body. The Q-Ray is pseudoscience and not real scientific at all. Scientific at all. Since making false or misleading claims are against the law. Q-Ray no longer puts false claims on its website, but still uses a lot of pseudoscience language on the website. If it's too good to be true it usually is, which is the case with Q-Ray

The Q Ray and Its Mystical Healing


For years we have seen TV commercials for the Q Ray bracelet. It claims that it can help relieve all different types of problems. The Q Ray is said to be made out of an ionized metal that is constructed based on principals that are over two thousand years old. It uses the ions in the metal to to create balance with your alpha and beta waves.


Some of the supporting claims of the Q Ray are that it mostly relieves pain, improves your performance, restores energy and is good for muscle flexibility. It says that much of this right on their website. Some consumer claims about the Q Ray are that it looks good, creates a sense of well being and that it changes their lives. Some other claims that are based on scientific research are that it does nothing at all, except make money mystically disappear.


The bracelet has been proven by scientists to not be ionized at all and many say that it is simply a waste of money. I know of a family member who actually bought a Q Ray and said it did nothing to improve their life. They wore it faithfully everyday for years and it had no healing powers at all for them, maybe they just got a broken one. Or maybe they just fell into a trap that thousands of people have fallen into, that their is some magical device that will make all of your problems go away.


The Q Ray bracelet is not something that anyone should invest their hard earned money in. Science has proven that does not work and it really is not all that fashionable either.
