(7) If you have a fatal disease that can only be cured by wearing a bracelet or necklace under your clothing, and anyone who receives an honest explanation of what the item is will think you're weird, do you wear the bracelet or necklace?
Answering yes to (7) means that you shouldn't refrain from cryonics for fear of being thought weird.
I think to be honest here you need to point out the very small chance the bracelet has of working.
I think it could be aptly compared to those 'magnetic bracelets' newagey types sometimes wear which are a fast track to me not talking to them anymore.
If you replace the necklace with "losing all your hair", haven't you described chemotherapy?
(For extra fuel: losing your hair is far from the most unpleasant symptom of chemotherapy.)
