Anyone heard of or used Ecoflow products?
 
Ecoflow sell a range of 'health' products based on magnets / magnetism

Has anyone tried these products? What do people think?

Personaly I am skeptical, by nature. However my partner has convinced me to try one, which I am now doing.

I know one or two people who wear these things but I confess I know absolutely nothing about the 'science' behind them (if indeed there is any, other than the manufacturer's own claims). If you like wearing a bracelet, you might as well get one anyway - it'll be a talking point at dinner parties if nothing else! :)

Magnetic water treatment is quite common for scale reduction. It probably improves the water too.

Try:

and then navigate thru Mechanical / Plumbing / Water Treatment

Yes, my mother wears one of the watch models, she said it helped when she first got it, I'll ask her if it still makes a difference.

She has serious rheumatoid arthritis so some joint is always causing uncomfort.

I used to know the main Ecoflow rep in Norfolk and tried the fuel line magnet for my car. Didn't make any difference but it was a very economical car anyway.
Personally though, I think it's a load of boll*cks.

I've just had a glance at the site. Unfortunately, the forum's anti-profanity software would remove so much of my reply as to render it meaningless.

Let me make make another attempt and put it this way; "There's one born every minute."

I was sceptical myself, but when was the last time you contradicted your mother. :angel:

We bought one of these about three years ago. It has been attached to the water main below the stop valve (apparently stop c0ck is rude!) in our kitchen, permanently switched on, ever since. I can honestly say I have noticed absolutely no improvement in our water at all. Everything scales up as quickly as it ever did. And as me and missus are both northerners, believe me we do notice the scale. If it had improved we would have spotted it.

Actually I was more interested in the medicinal uses. Anyway as I said my partner has manged to convice me to forgo my natural cynisim and I am now wearing one of these things. I have had quite bad periodic 'knee trouble' along with some back problems which I think most people suffer from, from time to time. I will try and rember to post back in a month or so time and relay if I think my knee or back problems have improved any since wearing this ecoflow magnet on my wrist.

I'm not thinking so much of magnetic water-softening, which at least has a faint air of possibility about it; I'm thinking more of statements such as, "And new to 2004, the first ever Bioflow Horse Rug!"

Bioflow Horse Rug!!! I ask you; this is simple, unadulterated gobbledy gook!

Erm, there's a device called the "Magna-Ring" which has added magnets that are supposed to increase blood flow...! (Yes, there's iron in blood, but it's not very magnetic!!)

If it did work, woudn't it just trap all the red blood cells in a corner of a vessel?


Reminds me of that scene from X-men 2 - are you saying that wasn't scientifically acurate? :Yikes:
