Phiten Titanium
http://www.phitenmy.com/index.html

Anyone uses it? Mind to share your experience?

For me, I just bought this from their shop at 1U. Today is my 2nd day wearing it, I have back ache for past 2 weeks due to heavy gym, but after wearing it overnight, the next day my back doesn't feel unfordable anymore. Weird!

I'm a user here. I'm using the Rakuwa necklace and also the tape. I'm a marathon runner and quite a lot of people are using it. As for how effective, I'm not sure.

But I still love Body Attack and Body Step cause both can challenge our own body

Yesterday was my third day. Back no more pain. Seems like recovered suddenly upon wearing 3 days ago

Yesterday Body Attack... Not much different. Still loose stamina at the last few track. My guess this thing only helps relieve body muscles / ache but not increases stamina...

Bought the Phiten titanuim chain (like dzi921's) yesterday. wore it overnight. my back is usually stiff in the morning and this morning, no stiff back. quite happy with my purchase.

dzi921, be careful with the quantum thing. it sounds too "powerful".

I think this thing (phiten titanium) got some benefits. I see some progress when I'm at fitness first these few days flex.gif

I have a relative family which consist of 7 doctors. They are all wearing the quantum thing. All gave good testimonials and including some of their patients experience. One had cancer, but after wearing it there is some progress (of course cancer not cured la but patient seems better... can walk and wake up, etc).

Phiten Tit Chain + Quantum = Superman biggrin.gif <Joking>

Anyway, I'm getting it cause I got lubang to get it at 50%+ discount

Last time, I have consistently chest pain/discomfort for nearly 2 years. I have went to see few doctors but they couldn't help. Then I bought a crystal, and after wearing it for 2 weeks, the pain went away.

Nice bling bling, maybe that's why African American are big right?

Not only they wear one bling bling, they were lots of bling bling, even on their hands.

I think eventually our body will get use to it, so no effect... so you mar buy the bracelet to power up lor

Today, is the first time I finish Body Steps after 2 1/2 months of trying. Usually I will loose stamina at the last few tracks. Today surprisingly I finished all without pausing in between. I even managed to go through 1/2 way for Body Attack back to back. Whether Phiten help or not? Tak kisah, as long I see improvement. Only issue is with all the jumping, the chain keep jumping too. Haha... Looks like gangster's chain

Tomorrow/Sun, my order for Quantum Science should arrive. Let me see whether I can go even more extreme later on. I want to try increase weight during Body Pump

Scientifically I couldn't find the reason...
but here is what they explained on their site: http://www.phitenmy.com/about3.html

Btw, I've got the quantum pendant already: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/647824
I slept with it overnight, and this morning when I woke up I feel less energy and some back pain
My experience is Phiten Tit Chain has shown better result overnight... but to be fair, I'll give the pendant a few more days to try

Err.. that phiten website just gives some unsubstantiated claims without telling us what it actually does.

And it's talking about "bioelectricity" as if our body is a circuit board with electrical current running through some channels or something.

Our body's electrical connections are mediated by neurotransmitters and ions, e.g. calcium and sodium ions. Of course there is a total jumble-up of bioelectric distribution throughout our bodies at all times! There is absolutely no use in 'stabilizing' the random mess of electrical charges because they're meant to be a mess.

you can ask how it works but the most important is does it work for you? i have a scientist friend who wears the fusion excel chain. Scientifically there is no basis to the claims by the manufacturer, but my friiend claims that he can feel "something". Bear in mind this friend of my has a masters in biology and is studying for his phd.....

I went to Phiton shop for a full demo just for fun while waiting for a bowling event to start.

I'm really surprised! I can feel the difference, experience listed below

1) Lift the same load with 1 finger, but with less strain
2) Stretch further (Finger to toes)
3) Twist my torso facing backwards further

Each test I did 2 times with and without their stuff.

I keep thinking it's bullshit explanation. But the effect!!!

Anyways I bought a 50mm bandage strip for a shoulder blade ache I've been nursing for months. If it can bring me relief, I'm sold. Regardless how it works.

I bought and used some kind of pendant years ago...it cost about RM500+.

It is not related to this titanium thing, but makes similar health claims....like balancing the body energy...ward off radiation...etc

After wearing it for a few weeks, I actually felt slightly worse. Luckily the shop offered money back, so I returned it...

That was about 7 years ago. wink.gif

I would like to bring forth some qoute related to these pendants with healing properties.

QUOTE
When suffering pain there are three things that can happen over time. The pain gets better, stays the same or get worse. That is with or without the presence of magnets. Someone who is gullible will apply a magnet to a painful area. The next day the area will feel better and they will credit the magnet for this magical improvement while chances are it would have improved without the magnet getting involved.

source: http://www.magnetnerd.com/Neodymium%20Magn...agnet_scams.htm



now, please replace the word "magnet" with other material (lava rocks/phiten) that claimed to be worn on body/carried around, that induce magical healing properties and improve health.

health and power is not about ability to use one finger and hold a heavy object. These are more like roadside freak show. Why its always the one finger do great stuff, or bending over painlessly? if the product claimed to be so powerful, why don't they demonstrate EVEN more variety of "power show" (like using toe instead to balance a 1 kg box, or perhap squeeze into a tight box, or maybe climb a ladder with great speed and dexterity?) ?

I'm using one of those Phiten necklaces. Before I decided to get it, I'm already thinking, this is probably some scam, and if it works, it's all in your mind. I had shoulder and neck aches, probably from sitting in front of the PC too long every day. So plunked a hundred bucks on a Phiten, wore it, and I do feel the difference. So maybe I've been conned, but if a hundred bucks can make me feel less fatigue or pain, why not? If placebos work, they're still effective, right?

Yeah go ahead and roll your eyes, but it's working for me, and I'm glad, even IF it's just psychological.

I'm using one of those Phiten necklaces.  Before I decided to get it, I'm already thinking, this is probably some scam, and if it works, it's all in your mind.  I had shoulder and neck aches, probably from sitting in front of the PC too long every day.  So plunked a hundred bucks on a Phiten, wore it, and I do feel the difference.  So maybe I've been conned, but if a hundred bucks can make me feel less fatigue or pain, why not?  If placebos work, they're still effective, right?

Yeah go ahead and roll your eyes, but it's working for me, and I'm glad, even IF it's just psychological.

Good for you as long as you realize that it may only be placebo effect!

Hope everybody could think like that!

Im glad my remedy for these aches are good rest, plain old exercises and taking a nice deep breath of air every morning. I spend 5 days a week sitting in front of computer, sometimes got stiff and aching shoulder too. But it all subside after I went home and relax myself. (and watching an episode of Simpsons to "induce" laughter , thus enhancing my mood and reducing my ache)

Few months ago, I must've over-stress my thumb (using keyboard, AND playing lego =) and it aches, and tingles. A month back the ache is gone, with slight tingles. last week my thumb dunt feel pain/tingle anymore. I never did a thing about it, nor even spending $$$ to buy stuff to placebo-ized my brain into healing.

I shall keep thinking this way , coz it works for me, and it doesn't cost me a cent (except Simpsons DVD ).

Simpsons IS MY "phiten". and its much cheaper (mind you its ori DVD boxsets).


to each his own. Unlike phiten, I shall not* recommend simpsons to others coz nobody appreciates the power of humor, they only believe as long as that product is EXPENSIVE and require minimal effort to use (simply 'wear' em, no need instruction booklet) , they're brainwashed to beleive IT MUST BE EFFECTIVE .


*and their episode quality is not as good as previous seasons.

been there today, they ask me to do the same test also.. lift with 1 finger. First with my right hand but no feeling, then my left hand do it for 3 times. But there's one time i found it a bit easier to lift. Didn't buy from them yet, i'm waiting for x50 to come.

Why its always the same test. Easier to be set up and conducted? Or its the only test they can manage to convince potential buyers?

since someone dug up this topic again, the link below is a nice read =)

placeboo? ermm i dun think soo.

ive been having the same neck and shoulder pain for more than 3 years. The pain suddenly came when I was a student, spending most of my time doing programming works. Since then, the pain never go away. Some of friends said there is a 'ghost' sitting on my neck (uiks!)

I had my neck x-rayed two times, and also meet orthopaedic specialist. The same answer keep appearing "Nothing wrong with ur neck, maybe muscle fatigue". Ive been spending my money buying the hot patches and gels to reduce the pain I have. Even walking around feel like dragging my head over my shoulder. No medicine works for me though. I also plan to go for better medical procedure, juz dun have enough RM right now. In the mean time, I need something to ease my pain.

A week ago, saw this phiten product. Im a really sceptical person but if u're in my position, u would try anything. The product advisor (err the title she wore) take the pure titanium necklace (the long chain with RM900+) and placed it on my shoulder and wallaweyyy, it felt like I was defying the gravity (no joke).

But of course, I couldn't afford to buy the RM900+ necklace. Thus, I bought the black-white silicone necklace which cost me RM145. The advisor told me that compared to the pure titanium, the recovery rate for the one that I buy take longer time than the pure one. I dun mind really coz as soon as I wear it, my shoulder felt lighter. She offered the phiten gel for a discounted price but I said next time perhaps coz I want to try the necklace first.

Until now, ive been wearing it. Sleep soundlessly u know and feel really refresh when waking up. The effect probably doesnt work with certain people I guess...

Hey, Datuk Lee Chong Wei also wear this product dun u know? Ahah, I bought mine in Sunway Pyramid

i oso happy user of phiten X50.
bought in sunway pyramid oso.
due to some medication. i suffer side effect of headache for more than 2 years. and i have all the pain killer, expensive pillow.. room ioniser.. even installed air con in my room to cure that problem.
but i still have headache in a very regular basis.. like 1@2 days, then iwill have serious headache.. until tears come out from eye. doctors always told me its cause by stiff neck.. medication.. and stress...
and the headache seriously interfere my research and drag me back..
since i was desperate..so last three week, i decided to give the X50 a try.. as i had interviewed some of my friend who using it. and they all give me very possitive feedback..
up till now. for 3 weeks i wear the x50. i only have 1 time of headache.. which is impossible for me for the past 2 years...
couldn't be happier with it. even i have to buy the necklaces every a few month. i will gladly buy it again.
if a placebo can cure my consistence headache.. i will glad to spend RM 150 for it every month...provided i won't headache anymore...

sure got ppl say that datuk lee wear this still kalah..

Hi, I got 10% discount on Phiten during November. Taking order for whom who want to buy this product. Receipt will be shown when COD to prove that it is original. You just pay me the postage and Phiten price.. I do not earn anything on this...

I have been wearing X50 for about 3 years... Shoulder ache is my main problem, problem reduced after sometime. But it is not possible to COMPLETELY solve your problem, it just helps up, a lot. For me, it is good enough.

I read through some of the replies on this thread, some got benefited from Phiten, some don't even give it a try and just object on this kind of things based on their own "expertise/reasonable common sense" to their own.. It depends on you whether you want to try it or not or object it. As long as it solve your problem, it's fine. After all it does not harm your body.

No offend, I believe that most of us pray, and I pray too. (For those who said this is just placebo effect and actually do not help at all because there is no ACTUAL SCIENTIFICALLY FACT (in fact Phiten claims there is, refer to their website), may I ask, can you show me the prove of god scientifically?) For me, a less than RM300(refer to at least x50 model, or less than RM150 for x30 model) may able to solve your muscle pain problem, why not give it a try.

Just wanna voice out my opinions. No offends.

Thank you.


Regards,
