The Placebo Effect: New Fashion Trends a Scam

By Stephanie Trembath,
‘Life and Style Editor

hen I was little my Mom used
to give me red M&M’s when
I was sick and tell me it was

Tylenol. After taking my “medicine”

I always felt a little bit better despite

my illness. When I was in elementary
school she would give me an “energy
pill” before my cross country races so
that I could run faster. After popping my
disguised tic tac, I felt like I could run
forever. Today, I am not as naive when it
comes to placebos, but I wish I could say
the same for the rest of society. With all
the modern junk disguised as “stuff you
need” today, it’s no wonder our economy
is in such an unfortunate state.

Feel Renewed with iRenew:

Possibly the greatest invention to
ever grace the earth, other than the iPad
that is, looks like a bracelet and cancels
out any need to exercise ever again. You
can stuff yourself full of turkey leftovers
and for less than $20 achieve results
that create a more flexible, stronger, and
aerodynamic you. I mean, who has time
to go for a run, swim, or walk anymore?
We’ re a society that’s much too busy with
our blackberries and catching up on the
latest twitter feed to be bothered with
such trivialities. If I wanted to go for a
walk I would take a Google virtual tour;
duh.

This amazing new piece of
technology is called the iRenew Bracelet;
which is designed to “inspire each and
everyone’s inner strength”, by enhancing
the bodies BioField. What’s a BioFeild
you say? Before you search for you're

iPhone, just wait. A biofield is the
hypothetical vital force within the body.
In Chinese they call it chi, in Hindu
culture they call it prana, and in Japanese
they refer to it as ki. Essentially a Biofield
in biochemistry terms is the measurable
exchanges of energy within orgasms
and the environment; it is integral as it
regulates our emotional balance, mental
functions, and physical wellbeing.
Thankfully, instead of wasting our
efforts attending yoga, enjoying the
outdoors or especially joining team sports
with other sweaty individuals, the iRenew
Bracelet takes care of all these things for
you once you put it on. You can wear it in
the water, or while you sleep, to become
fully restored back to your normal
energies. The iRenew immediately acts
on the body, within the first ten minutes,
to bring more energy and balance into the

body. Improved sleep patterns, reduced
stress, better circulation, and an increase
in strength are just a few of the amazing
benefits iRenew offers.

Oh, and the best part; it comes in
two fabulous colors to be worn with
any outfit. This week, give it a try. It’s
perfectly affordable and for $20 you can
get TWO; one for each hand just like a
pair of ultra-trendy handcuffs, wouldn’t
you say? If you don’t like the iRenew
style, you can opt to get a Q-Ray bracelet
instead; with more feminine detailing,
and a European design, the Q-ray bracelet
is a bit pricier, but brings optimal results.
My personal favourite is the Q-ray Milan
bracelet for $212.00; as I plan on quitting
all my physical activities so that I can
spend more time with my Facebook
account, I sure hope it works.
