Hi,bi been seeing slot of SN posts and the issue of vomiting and the necessity of using the right meds to combat this. I'm not one for alternative therapy and meds but a family member who suffers from severe car/ motion sickness tried one of those non drug wrist bands for sickness which is meant to use an acupuncture point or close to that method of action and it worked better or as well as the anti nausea tablets they normally use.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying to go and replace the known regiments with such a device but I was thinking after hearing their story that if thi band even contributed a 0.1% chance of stopping or even delaying the vomiting it would be worth it in an attempt to do everything possible to make it a success.

That 0.1% chance of this helping on such a important event...I would take every 0.1% extra I could find.

Sorry I tend to ramble on for a bit long sometimes .

One thing that does get stated sometimes is that there is a difference between motion sickness vomiting and vomiting due to a poison.
So products that help with motion sickness may have reduced effectiveness for preventing vomiting from poisons....

I totally agree with you,it's meant to help with morning sickness etc,but all I was saying is even if it had a 0.1% chance of stopping you vomiting then why the hell not lol.

That was a good idea, but it isn't likely to really help in this case, for reasons already mentioned. Every once in awhile someone brings up the bands as an alternative.

They're just two different types of sicknesses, and you need something that works very specifically.

Also, meto has a secondary effect that helps the SN process. It helps empty your stomach, which gets the SN into your intestines quicker so that it absorbs and works quicker.
