Are you saying it doesn't, I know the mind is a powerful thing and basically starts the healing process, but I have always thought the ones for pain worked. At least it feels really great when you rub it on.

I think that some out there can work even for a temp. time span, but not all do. It might depend with what they used as their sales pitch too.

I really don't think a tube of cream could be called "investing a ton" - seriously, you're talking about $3-5 dollars for the possibility of relief? Not much compared to filling a prescription that also has no guarantee of working.

Yeah there are so many natural things out there it's ridiculous how much they charge for them. I mean it's gonna grow again! I never was a big believer that a tropical little thing can cure anything!

You would be surprised the number of people that end up purchasing things like this on a repeat basis. I know a friend that quit a job at a temp. place she worked as they sold this stuff and the sales pitch did carry "will rid you of aches and pains", for that reason along with the fact she realized so many people on the calling list were over a certain age (I think 55-60 or so) and they forked out $50+ at a pop every few months, when you have a limited income, that can be a great deal over time.

I guess this is scamA confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit; all in it's own. How easy is it for me to sell you something you know nothing about and promise you wonders! I never bought in the whole natural craze mumbo jumbo, I'll cure my cold on my own thank you.

I disagree with these being a scamA confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit; . Its long been known that some things will help. Substances are absorbed via the skin, and by applying directly to the area you can use less than taking it systemically. Ibuprofen works in this way in creams-are you saying you don't believe in ibuprofen?
