Explanation of Power Balance placebo effect (english subtitle)

[dirtylostchild]

You saved me $60, and I thank you for that!

[pierceys234]

the first time i saw this i knew it was a placebo it's not that hard to tell lol there are tons of placebos that help you but this cannot physically help you at all if you already believe it is a placebo you have to honestly think it's real

[JohnF30Music]

there's no need to test the product. just examine its parts. it's just PLASTIC!!

[RavenPrecept]

This is the first video I have seen that someone gives a credible explanation of how the tester and the subject can feel the effect and both believe it. In future tests I am going to try hard to deliberately push outwards to off balance the subject wearing the PB.

[DontHateOnMyCommentZ]

Power balance!

Are the Correct Tests and Scientific Studies being performed?

This is a must! Thanks for the Video

[tumo1207]

C'est interessant à voir les 'éffets' du pb, un ami l'a acheté, et j'ai pensé que c'était merde, mais il ne me croit! Merci pour le video!

[justindrewB1fan]

i think its called EFX bracelet !?

[asmircar1]

doesnt matter if you put this video on youtube.... there are still a lot of stupid people in the world that will buy product for 20 dollars USA or 20 euros in EUROPE :)

that is just how this shitty world goes... around and around stupid people.

[jskind]

Thanks for this, i saw someone buy one this morning, and i new it was a scam and now she will see how it's done to.

[BalaDeHortelan]

Thanks a lot for the video. I just have one question, why did you buy the pb? Did you know it was a scam at the time, or did you buy it to test it out?

merci

@BalaDeHortelan

a friend told me about the PB 6 months ago and I thought it was only suggestion/placebo. Derren brown does the same thing just with suggestion. But then he did the balance test on me. He was putting the PB or something else in my back pocket and my balance was better with the PB of course.I couldn't get it as my own suggestibility was much less influenced... A few days later I had the first spark: "what about his own self-suggestibility? he was the one testing me!

[osteopathie64]

@osteopathie64

Then a few days later I had a second spark: The fact that pushing-in was improving the balance of the subject, subtle change in the direction of the force make a huge difference. I tested my theory on my girlfriend with a sponge. Her balance was better with a sponge :) It was good for her to do the washing up! I knew I had the answer of the tests. I bought the PB for the video, worn it a few hours no difference, but my cat loves to play with it!

[audioiv]

Very good job on this

[1Jonman1]

Power Balánce!! =D

[methodboy57]

[migangelodc]

Dig it when the camera focuses on him and he says: POWERBALANCE and grins. what a champ lol

[omfgthinkofaname]

Power Balance!!!! Lmao. Great vid buddy, two thumbs up!

[MrAapenkind]

now make a pb dildo !!! lol

[xlmarco]

what is the purpose of this advertising...shampoo & make up by Loreal or thoothpaste...stop it...you're ridiculous

[osteopathie64]

@xlmarco

Hi Xlmarco,

If you are not aware this is not an advertissement but more a "piss take" of the power balance bracelet. A bracelet that is supposed to improve your life. The idea of the video was to debunk this myth in a "jovial" way. Anyway, I wish good luck in criticizing all the Youtube video that seems to be ridiculous,

cheers,

La critique est un impôt que l'envie prend sur le mérite...

[82alekx]

@osteopathie64salut! bien parler, je l ai acheter en magasin avant d avoir vu toutes ces choses sur @ je n avais pas idee de tout le mythe qu il y avait autour de ce bracelet... j ai acheter betement ce truc et je me suis dis... mais tu es con alex!!! bref... ce qui me surprend enfin ce qui fait drole(et c mieux vu comme ca) c est de voir la virulence des propos que ces gens prennent a votre egard ... la betise humaine quoi! bonne video

[amaurialves]

@osteopathie64 The funniest thing here is the "power balánce" (with the accent) very funny aside being very instructive. Thumbs up to you, man!!!

[SAFproductionz]

everyone is so happy in this video..wow

[osteopathie64]

@SAFproductionz

???

The aim is to look miserable on the video ?

I think you should definitely wear the PB to improve your life lol

cheers

[TMTGAU]

Great stuff, it's time someone debunked this rubbish!

[MrAapenkind]

only dum whear the  PB.

[osteopathie64]

@MrAapenkind

Tx I was wearing it during the video ;), I wouldn't say dum, but certainly that some people need to have a belief. They need to believe that something else is there to protect them. Some will wear a cross, others a PB.

What is worrying is that these people don't express a critical thinking and some of these people might be judges, politicians, or doctors... In their field do they have a critical thinking ?

[patbeaulieu69]

bravo les gars!

[Chumppi]

But anyway: the stretch test, I tried it since I have no power balance bracelet because I think it's a scam, the stretch test is totally what you said, it's stretching your spine - I went way further when trying after the 1st try about 10s apart lol!

[Chumppi]

Ahhem... placebo effect still IS an effect even though there is no basis for it.

[bastardsheep]

@Chumppi No, placebo is a false positive. It means the object you're making claims about does not do what is claimed. This is more commonly known as false advertising.

[Chumppi]

@bastardsheep Right, but for example in drugs if you're given placebo drug(as in nothing real) it often also works like the real thing with power of your mind, THAT is placebo effect.

[netconfiture]

Wouah that's absolutely great !!! I bought one of those powerbalance before summer and I was still wondering if there was any effect.

Well thx for the video buddy - I think I got the message now : powerbalance = no additional force, no additional flexibility nor additional balance .

[necrocarnal]

Good job on testing the test that they use
