I was amused by amused above.
Still, i’m planning to try one of these.
My restrictied neck, throbbing headache, and dizzy feeling like i’m having a fever really put me in the place of rushing into anything that might help.

I was a skeptic too. I’m 53 and past my playing prime. But I bought one of these babies and it’s insane. I’m pretty sure I’m heading to the Bigs any day. Thanks, titanium.

I wear one of the titanium braclets cause i heard they help for painn and id try anything for all the pain i got. I think we need to keep our opinions to ourselves if we are going to be nasty to someone, i mean , its only a necklace. If it works for some then thats great! If it dont work for others then thats just they way it is. But it is woking for me, for fybromyalgia, tennis elbow, pain from a fracture in my spine, and i have less headaches. So im glad it works for me. I dont care how it works, i just know it does. thank you, Lisa

im not gonna lie… im the biggest skeptic out there.
didnt buy a phiten but i did purchase something else.
i live in korea and those baseball player just gomcrazy for these
in korea they sell thismthing called lobac-m necklaces made from germanium metal and its actually fda approved. then i bought necklaces that are like phiten but another company called morimota which makes baseball gloves. i wear them both. first i was like… dang i just wanna look like the pros when im playing in my weeknd baseball league… but these seem to work. i tore my labrum few years back and i constantly go thru pain. i dont feel the pain when i wear them. it cant be placebo effect if im skeptical right? either there r cheaper and effective items. phitens are like 130 bucks in korea… too expensive.

to all the skeptics out there, i have a neck problem that is work related, i have lost the natural curve that my neck should have, this causes me headaches daily and neck and shoulder tension as one would imagine. i was ready to buy a necklace when the lady at the store said to me, “i would rather you try the patches first, if they give you relief then come back and buy the necklace”, mind you the patches were free! sure ill try them, and guess what, no headaches no neck pain no migrains! is it possible? even i was shocked as i have tried everything. i still have to visit my chiro monthly, but who cares my aches and pains, and sleepless nights are no longer!!!! scientific evidence or not, they work!!! and of course science wouldnt prove them to work, imagine how many drug companies would lose money, alternative medicine and mainstream medicine will never see eye to eye, purely because one works and the other dosent, science cant prove Gods existance, but i can assure you He exists!!!!!! thumbs up to phiten from me!

I was diagnosed with a frozen right shoulder. Had it since April this year, and the pain got worse over the months. Until today I could not access my back pocket, raise my arm above my head, even getting coins out of my jeans coin pocket was a killer.
This morning went to the Phiten shop. They slapped on a demo titanium tape about 2 inches long on my shoulder. Within 3 minutes I could reach my back pocket and raise me arm.
For all those who suffer from Frozen shoulder I would recommend that you give it a try…
I will still continue with my PT as I believe this is a pain reliever and not a cure.

Let me just say that I was a skeptic too until my cousin lent me his Phiten. My shoulder and neck stopped hurting, backaches subsided, knee starting to feel a little better, same went for arthritis in my fingers. Call me superstitious but I think things are even going better in bed. My sense of taste is stronger, I swear food tastes better, if its good food anyway, and I feel smarter too. Women are looking at me more and the police seem to let me get away with speeding a little faster than I used to. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney started emailing me asking me to dinner, and the weather seems warmer. All from Phiten. Bitter know-it-alls, go ahead and suffer living your lives without Phiten. The rest of us will be living good without scientific proof!

Doctors used to believe that it wasn’t necessary to wash their hands because they couldn’t see how it would help. We know it sounds like a hoax, this is why we are asking those who have tried this product to tell about their experiences.
“Thoughts on” does not equal “experiences of.” If you don’t have pain, you are not qualified to comment on a pain-relieving product. Equally, if you have not tried this product no one is interested in anything you have to say at all.
I noticed that those who have tried it, mostly say it works; those who haven’t, say it doesn’t. To those who haven’t tried it: Why are you here at all? Don’t you have anything better to do?

Yes there will always be critics and naysayers that only believe in what their doctors tell them. I believe a majority of the health problems today are caused by doctors and drug companies; Have headaches? Take this drug and zone out for the day. Have high cholesterol? Don’t change your diet here’s a new drug that lowers it. Knees and back ache because you’re overweight? Don’t lose weight, take this drug. It never ends. The only thing they know is what the drug companies tell them and what makes money for them. How much money or patients would they have if they only saw them once after prescribing a product that worked with no side effects??
Western medicine and drug companies downplay anything that’s not in their realm of thinking or making money; i.e. chiropractics, acupuncture, hypnosis, vitamins and supplements, Phiten, etc. And when there’s favorable results for the aforementioned their response is always “Where are the scientific studies? Where is the scientific proof??” Have you ever watched a drug commercial and listened to the disclaimer at the end? It’s scary as hell. Their scientific proof is, “the side effects will eventually kill you if it doesn’t make you better…..”
I’ve had chronic neck and shoulder pain from an injury years ago. I’ve probably killed my liver with all the over the counter pain meds and prescribed muscle relaxers before finding chiropractics and acupuncture. I’m now using Phiten products which I’ve worn for the last 6 months. Because of Phiten my neck is no longer stiff and my shoulders don’t ache at night when sleeping. I get a good nights rest and I can workout at the gym pain free and drug free.
Bottom line; if it works and you’re enjoying your life living pain free that’s all that counts.

I am a scientist by trade, formerly a machinist. So I know metal & I know scientific studies. I haven’t seen a study that convinces me of the healing powers of ti, and I used to work in a factory full of it, and certainly wasn’t pain/tension free. After I lost my first wedding ring, I made my wife & I ti rings. After 13 years of wearing it, I have no difference in my hands. It’s not like my left hand glows while the right one is dark, dirty, painful…
That said I just ordered one of these for my kid. Found it cheap online, & it’s her team’s colors, which I find to be the biggest benefit. If the placebo affect helps her play better, that’s good enough for $20. If by some miracle wearing ti actually helps her, well that’s just fabulous. I should have ordered a 2nd one, and cut it open to see how much ti is really in there to begin with. Probably not much.

Ok. Why does the human race always want go be so negative. These necklace seem to be inexpensive to buy and use. This is America, we buy stuff we dont need every day,just thonk what you bought today that you didnt really need. If some inventor has an idea and pursues this idea ,puts a patent on it and if pepole like it, buy it, and if for some reasonit makes them believe they have more energy and thrir pain to go away with no side effects.then reagardless if theirs any research. Behind it working, the point is they whete not ripped off because its not expensive, and somehow it makes them believe the pain goes away and feel better. Be open minded and lets see if it works.mu wife has bad migraines an no one can figure out why. So im going to buy one, and when she puts it on and if it causes her migraines to go away then it is the best $ 20 i ever spent so i dont have to see my wife crying het heart out. If not back to yhe drawi g board

To “Want Users Not Losers”,
Will jumping off a cliff onto jagged rocks seriously maim or kill you? No, wait don’t answer that. According you, unless you’ve actually done it you’re incapable of thoughtfully analyzing the situation and coming to an intelligent decision on the question. I’ve never stuck my hand into a pot of boiling water but I’m pretty certain it would be detrimental to my health (and sex life).
I always find it fascinating when skeptics are ridiculed for seeking objective information on any given claim. In this case, the miracle health benefits of Phiten jewelry. Burden of proof is on Phiten, not the skeptics. I believe the whole point of the discussion is Phitens claim oF ACTUAL health benefits that will be gained from a titanium imbued necklace, NOT THE CAPABILITIES OF A PLACEBO EFFECT. Placebo’s have been well studied and documented to produce subjective results, and at times secondary objective results. Again, NOT the point of this discussion. The question is: “Does Phiten produce positive health benefits separate from a placebo effect”?
So far, the answer is no. It’s proven to produce a placebo effect only. You can save yourself the $20 and just smear Grandpas Magic Mud Mask every night to get the same effect. If you believe. BTW, the mud mask works because it alliterated.
And I”m here because it’s fun to watch people get emotional over trivial subjects they have little data on except how they feel about it.
Must be Liberals.

I was hit be a car about 10 years ago.
ive lived with mild stabbing neck pain to some degree on a daily basis which is agrevated by working with computers and never really gotten better.
my friend brought me the necklace from overseas. i didnt want to tell her i though it was a waste of money. but i put it on and with in seconds my stabbing neck pain was gone. Seconds.
Dont know about the science. dont know about the tests. but i do know it worked for me. i havent had pain for the past 2 weeks. ( the longest ive been without someform of neck pain is 2 days) and that was a one of 1.5 years ago. )
i have heard there are cheep knockoffs that only look like the phiten brand. as with anything in life you get what you pay for. so if your going to buy make sure your seller is reputable. well thats my 3 cents.
i highly recommend phiten. ifs its a placebo then its the best placebo on the planet. results count.

I have been suffering with Rheumatoid Arthritis for 10 years and it forced me into early retirement as a tile setter. I’m an out-patient at the VA with the standard RA medicine of Humara shots every 2 weeks and Methotrexate and tons of pain meds. Every morning when I wake up it takes me an hour just sitting before I can get motivated and loosened up. I haven’t told anyone of the vast improvement since I have been wearing the Phiten titanium necklace for fear of being ridiculed to my face so I will tell my story here. This damn thing works, don’t know how I know nothing of titanium or magnets or whatever else comes out of middle eastern alternative medicines but just wait until my next RA exam and let my Rheumatologist explain my increased range of motion in both arms. Not sure of a placebo effect either because I wasn’t even thinking of an improvement until it happened on the third day when I woke up. Not saying you will have the same results but for me I will swear by them and without all the chemicals doctors here want to pump into you

years ago I twisted my knee while hiking. now that I got into massage therapy and have to be much more flexible, it started to bother me. I had one of the necklaces that I had purchased just because I liked the look of it, but had never worn it. then I saw all of the baseball players that were wearing them. I found out why and thought that I should give it a try since I had one. well, I wore it for a week and my knee pains went away. then I quit wearing it and the pain returned the very next day. if it is only a “placebo” I do not care. it keeps me away from is any surgeries, prescriptions or any other unnecessary medical bills. all I can say is, “it works for me!”

I have been using the Phiten Products for about8 years and if I were not getting relief I would not be on this site. I am 70 years old and play on an Amateur Golf Tour and several time we play 36 in a day and I have NO PAIN. I have had total knee replacement and this product give me total pain free play without introducing and drug. If you have any pain it is well worth the few dollars to enjoy every round. I play an average of 3 time a week and rep a club company at Demo Days

I have a little personal experience as to why I don’t believe these work. I was walking my mall and they were doing a “demonstration” where anyone in the crowd was allowed to challenge and be “proven” wrong. The most common way was a “resistance test” as they called it, where one would be told to stand firm as they were firmly pushed at the shoulder. Most would stumble or tilt, then after dawning these “miracle cure” necklaces and armbands, they would be pushed and sway far less, and many who tried claimed that they felt stronger as they did it. Many others were allowed forward and claimed to have been relieved of cramped muscles, headaches, etc. with the product.
I have always been a skeptic of “miracle cures”, a-la tapeworms as diet pills, heroin as acne treatment, Coca-Cola as cough syrup, and Leaches as nausea medicine (which most often caused infections, although sterilized leaches are used today by many to success).
So, when it came my turn, I stepped forward with a challenge. I offered to do the “resistance test”, I proffered to do it FIRST with the product on, and second without it. The rep who I was dealing with (a cocky, large man who I think actually believed in the product) smirked at me and called me a “fool” under his breath, but proceeded with my challenge. When I stood my ground better the second push, without the product, I started to explain how preparedness and experience from the first one is what really does it, and not the product, when the manager (I believe, an older man in a suit, at least) pulled me aside and offered me a $100 bill to shut up and walk away. I took the money and comfort in the fact that that was all the proof that these are based on the placebo effect and generic scientific principals rather than real science.
To those they help, I will not judge. Whatever the REAL reason you are improving, it doesn’t matter, as the healthier and happier lifestyle are what’s really important. But to any who seek to see “scientific evidence”, the simple fact is that there is no actual (positive) scientific evidence supporting these types of products. In fact, if you ask them, they legally have to confirm such as that “This product has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”
My 2¢.
