Relief bands worked for me. Medically think along the well accepted

"Well accepted?" I don't think either one has ever worked in
a real double-blind test (such a test being difficult to do, but
not impossible). Way too far OT to discuss here, however.

You can find "relief bands"
at most pharmacies for around 15 bucks or so.

Which is sort of ridiculous, isn't it? I mean, it must cost
about 15 cents to make one. You could make one yourself.
But would it work? I suspect it has more to do with the
15 dollars than anything else.
