De acordo com o site oficial das pulseiras do equilíbrio, "toda a nossa existência depende de uma perfeita transmissão e equilíbrio das cargas eléctricas positivas e negativas, chamadas iões". Para além disso, "uma saúde óptima e performance de pico ocorrem quando o corpo mantém o equilíbrio iónico (a troca entre cargas negativas e positivas) e vias de fluxo de energia livres (harmonia) na frequência ideal".
Ignorando a parte do fluxo de energia livre, que não sei o que significa (nem eu nem ninguém no planeta), e o facto de cargas positivas e negativas não se chamarem iões, vejamos o que aconteceria caso o nosso corpo não estivesse em equilíbrio de cargas positivas e negativas. Richard Feynman, um dos maiores físicos do século XX, começa da seguinte forma o capítulo sobre electromagnetismo nas suas famosas Lectures on Physics:
Consider a force like gravitation which varies predominantly inversely as the square of the distance, but which is about a billion-billion-billion-billion times stronger. And with another difference. There are two kinds of "matter", which we call positive and negative. Like kinds repel and unlike kinds attract - unlike gravity where there is only attraction. What would happen?A bunch of positives would repel with an enormous force and spread out in all directions. A bunch of negatives would do the same. But an evenly mixed bunch of positives and negatives would do something completely different. The opposite pieces would be pulled together by the enormous attractions. The net result would be that the terrific forces would balance themselves out almost perfectly, by forming tight, fine mixtures of the positive and negative, and between two separate bunches of such mixtures there would be practically no attraction or repulsion at all.There is such a force: the electrical force. And all matter is a mixture of positive protons and negative electrons which are attracting and repelling with this great force. So perfect is the balance however, that when you stand near someone else you don't feel any force at all. If there were even a little bit of unbalance you would know it. If you were standing at arm's length from someone and each of you had one percent more electrons than protons, the repelling force would be incredible. How great? Enough to lift the Empire State building? No! To lift Mount Everest? No! The repulsion would be enough to lift a "weight" equal to that of the entire earth!
Como se vê, estamos perfeitamente bem no que diz respeito a equilíbrio de cargas, mesmo sem pulseiras do equilíbrio para nos auxiliar. Até agora, ainda não vi ninguém produzir uma força capaz de "levantar a Terra".
