A question of balance
-
Before donning the bracelet, our subject is visibly confused and out of balance.

Being editor of a sci-tech title offers certain advantages. For example, I often get to hear about scientific and technological breakthroughs in advance of public announcements (mostly, it must be said, because I go looking for them), and I am sometimes allowed to play with gadgets that defy logic while remaining strangely desirable (you know, like sunglasses with a built-in digital camera or MP3 player). For the rest, people feel some kind of obligation to keep me informed (thanks, people).
A case in point: this morning, just as I was about to take a sip from my first cup of coffee, I picked up another treat – an “online special” whereby I could acquire a silicone Pro Balance bracelet featuring Bioenergetic Holographic Disc Technology. This useful accessory, as everyone should know, reacts on contact with the human body to realign its bio energy and restore its balance.
My take on this? Forget pills! Forget doctors! For a once-off outlay of just R369, you’ll be able to reconnect your body’s energy lines of communication, allowing you to regain your physical, emotional and mental health. As the distributors put it, they could tell us that they have received over 45 000 positive testimionials, and they could reveal that 395 professional athletes use their bracelets. But they won’t... because it’s up to us to decide!
In the spirit of healthy scepticism, we decided to test the Pro Balance bracelet in our office. The dramatic pictures accompanying this blog show the results.
