Electronic Sea Sickness RELIEF BAND

[simonfraser]

can't seem to find any one with one in stock.

a similar ?? device is for sale, force 4 page 137, that vibrates the accupuncture points, not the same thing as far as i can see.

any ideas where i can get the real item ?

A "Super Tampon" down the throat does the same job /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Meridian Zero are the distributors.

They don't sell to the general public but their web site does list retailers that they supply and they are happy for you to contact them if you need details of mail order outlets.

Just seen that Force 4 are one of their retailers but Force 4 don't have the ReliefBand on their web site. They seem to have opted for a cheaper alternative.

Maybe one of those "Private" shops with blacked out windows?

They do work if you believe they do .. Couple of years ago a very learned gent spent a couple of hours explaining to a friend why it did not work from a purely science point of view .. It did not work at all after that .. So its in the mind .. Yes it will work .. Thousands of people buy them and they all cannot be wrong .. CAN THEY .. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I bought one for the ARC!!! Brilliant - Very bizarre feeling as it zaps you but it dies take your mind off the nausea. Well worth it!

I got mine from Marine Super Store...

Zaps you!!? Is this the acupuncture one or the 'traditional' 'relief band' ??

I found a site that sells them called sailgb.com if that helps, i got one a while a go and they work really well, and the ones that they sell here have adjustable currents depending on how badly seasick you feel.

Hope this helps!

Friend of mine, just done his dazed kipper course. He was, prior to this, useless after being below for more than a few minutes, so no good for navigating. He chose to use one of these with great success.

As a GP he doesn't take to 'gadgets and gizmo's' easily, but he thinks it brilliant.
