Let me suggest you read this page at QuackWatch:

Next read this sound advice at webmd:

The QRay site, which I believe is the product to which you speak, has
all kinds of hokey testimonials. I tend to think that the more
"testimonials" a product puts out, the less credible the product
probably would be.

The Mayo Clinic (Jacksonville) was conducting some kind of tests on
this bracelet, but I can't find any results. Here is the announcement
of the tests:

There is a telephone number there and perhaps you can call long
distance and for a few cents get your answer.
