Phiten/Rakuwa Products, Posted 04-04-2008, 09:35 PM Quote
I've searched the board and came up with nothing so I decided to start a new thread.

I recently purchased a Phiten necklace from Planet Sports. I was skeptical at first (having broad medical background and is also in to marketing myself for 23 years) about the claims of this product. Initially, "snake oil" came to mind. Marketing gimmick to say the least.

I ended up with a titanium-impregnated necklace and a P2.2k hole in my pocket. I am in no way connected with the distribution, marketing and/or manufacturing of this product but I can tell from the 2 days I have wore one-- it really relieves body pain and makes me feel a lot relaxed.

For those who have one (bracelet, necklace, tape or apparel), please share your experiences here. If you're at a loss on what I am saying, please use google to search for phiten or rakuwa.

Thanks!

I purchased my Phiten necklace at Planet Sports VM sometime November last year. I used to have headaches and blurry vision when I wake up in the morning but when I started wearing the necklace, these stopped. I really don't know if this has a valid medical explanation or purely psychological but what the heck, it made me feel better.

BTW, I haven't taken it off ever since.

saw this product in rockwell today. I was tempted to buy this product just sceptical I guess. plus with the high price tag it made me think twice if I was going to get it or not. to those who have tried this product is it really worth it? I'm thinking of getting the necklace x30.

me thinks its all in your head. psychological ekek. power of the human mind and all that. Unconsciously, in the back of your mind, you know if this thing doesn't work, you're out 2.2k. And thats freakn' unacceptable. Thus your symptoms "miraculously" disappear.

But hey, if it "works" that way, sulit na din
