    Stamina patches? WTF? Why didn't I think of that. Stick a glorified band aid in two places and charge people $20 a pop for them.

    Unreal.

    Here is some info from their page:

    What Are In The Patches?
    The patches contain a patent-pending blend including amino acids, water, stabilized Oxygen and organics. There are no drugs, no chemicals, no herbs, no magnets, and nothing artificial.


    What Goes In The Body?
    Energy Enhancement is NOT a transdermal patch. Absolutely Nothing enters the body. This is a completely new science and new approach to energy, stamina, and well-being. You can even put the patch in a zip-lock bag, tape them on, and still achieve the same effects!!


    How Do The Patches Work If Nothing Enters The Body?
    The patches communicate with the body through the human electro-magnetic field. This is known as resonant energy transfer.
    ---------------------

    Where I come from we have another name for this; "Placebo".

    link?

    In the 18th century, these patches were called "snake oil".

    Stanford swim team found no substance in their body, and gave the patches "go ahead".
    I've given lotsa girls the "go ahead" for a blow job, believe me, my stamina is great. Absolutely nothing enters my body (afaik).

    People are suprised at the end of the day that the patches still have everything in them.
    When I open a beer any time of the day, I too am surprised the can has everthing in it.

    Tanji Pattan said that she and Jennifer Bloom have used them. Don Harris had it on at 10 so it's probably on their website as well.

    Of course...the more the merrier!

    Count me in too.

    TP made at least 4 amazing plays last night. His moves took my breath away.

    After performing this well, this consistently, even on the road, TP has definitely upped the ante.

    Same potential problem though, what happens if teams just back off of him and dare him to hit the jumpshot. I hope that it is more consistent or at least by playoff time.

    So far, Tony has been the best and most consistent player on our team this year.

    I will be shocked and think it is completely wrong if Tony does not find his way onto the allstar team, possibly starting.

    These are the patches Duncan is wearing.

    He better hope it's legal.

    Late.

    There are videos about it on the WOAI sports page- one revealing what Timmy's patches are and another about how Gino opts not to use them.

    Athletes opinions aren't science.

    It's hocus-pocus until multiple researchers not connected to the mfr show that there are electrical, magnetic, mitochondrial, metabolic, whatever differences detected by instrumentation caused by these patches.

    Maybe one of the side effects of the patch is that it makes free throws go in, in which case I am all for it.
    Timmy has the power!

    Here is the good part from their website:

    What is exciting about the LifeWave™ technology is that our LifeWave™ patches may be encoded with any number of different messages for the body to receive. Our first patch products are encoded to tell the body to "burn fat and make energy" But we can also, for example:

    Increase muscle mass by "turning off" a regulatory protein known as myostatin
    Induce a state of calm sleep by "turning on" production of serotonin
    Improve old age by "turning on" the pituitary into making more hGH
    Improve memory, intelligence and focus by moving acetlycholine between
    the left and right brain
    Increase collagen production for surgery-free face lifts
    And dozens of other metabolic processes
    http://www.lifewave.com/the_technology.asp

    It's a miracle!!
