Liquid Titanium?

Unread postby Split » Wed Sep 03, 2008 10:05 pm

I'm pretty skeptical about those liquid titanium bracelets and necklaces that I see people wearing, claiming that it makes them less tired and more fit. However, I also do recall studying that titanium also helps blood flow. Is this enough to make you a better athlete? As the necklaces claim to "enhance athletic performance"...
I never met a pole I didn't like.

All I think they do is increase the size of the company's wallet... but I don't know much about these things, so take that for what it's worth...

I dont know about titanium , but I my mom had some sort of metal bracelet that she said made her wrist feel better and Im pretty sure its been proven certain kinds of metals are beneficial when worn in jewelry. I do wonder though how much of an affect they really have and if some metals are good are others bad?

24 carat gold bracelet with diamonds is certainly good and make you feel better - if you can afford it. :D
