Eaux "Energisées" de différentes sortes

Il est fort à parier que ni les vendeurs qui promeuvent des produits «énergisants» ni ceux qui les achèteront pour des raisons scientifiques n’auront la moindre idée de ce que signifie le terme ou de la manière dont sa présence peut être démontrée. La réponse est que s’agissant de l’eau, il n’ya que le marketing des lofts! Voir aussi notre page de démystification de l'eau énergisée.

Eau avec essorage

Wayback Eau Looney Tune

"Wayback Water" est le fruit de l'idée d'un Dan Nelson (ou peut-être de deux d'entre eux) qui pirate ce fléau aux personnes crédibles par le biais d'innombrables vidéos YouTube et de sites Web remplis de "témoignages".

Un site antérieur qui existait en 2012-13 était plein de sottises scientifiques, expliquant que leur eau résultait du traitement d'une sorte de laser magique qui émet un type spécial de lumière "se propage dans le règne espace-temps inverse / réciproque à 5 positions, c'est-à-dire une dimension spatiale supérieure. Cela forme une onde de particule modifiée dans le temps qui entraîne la loi de thermodynamique (loi de 2nd / entropie) dans le sens inverse."

Mais apparemment, ce pot bizarre s'est avéré trop, même pour le fameux montant "alternative à la santé", de sorte que la page d'aujourd'hui de Wayback Water prend un tout autre merci et va de pair avec les nombreuses autres tenues qui prétendent à tort que les grappes d'eau doivent se séparer avant de pouvoir être importés par le corps pour obtenir une "hydratation cellulaire".

Échelle Spin Doctor et Bogus Energy

Ce type qui s'attend à ce que "The Water Doctor" vous fournisse une multitude de produits incroyables qui promettent le spectacle de médicaments habituel avec des avantages pour la santé à la sonorité étonnants mais indéterminés qui ne manqueront pas d'être vécus par ceux qui ont l'esprit juste. La dernière version du site montre une image du "Docteur" plus ancien, mais apparemment pas plus sage, mais il a reconditionné le narron sous le nom QuantaWater ™

utilise l'énergie de la nature avec des harmonies qui résonnent en harmonie avec les structures cristallines du corps pour activer nos cellules. Hautement cohérent, QuantaWater ™ contient des résonances résistantes à la vie, les énergies magnétiques de la Terre, et présente une faible tension superficielle avec spin de vortex et un potentiel de Bovis élevé.

    L'ancien nostrum était apparemment basé sur la fiction selon laquelle les atomes et les molécules peuvent être "tournés" vers la droite ou vers la gauche (hé, cela ne dépend pas de la direction dans laquelle vous les regardez?) Et cela pour l'eau au moins, cela affecte de cette façon Il interagit avec votre corps. La manière dont ces propriétés magiques sont attribuées à l’eau n’est pas expliquée, mais les personnes qui sont suffisamment crédibles pour tomber sous le coup de cette attitude ont rarement tendance à demander. Pour rendre cela encore plus (pseudo) scientifiquement, il utilise un système de mesure inconnu de la science légitime:

L’échelle de Bovis, développée par un physicien français, quantifie ou mesure comment positivement ou négativement une substance est. Pour les organismes vivants, le point de référence clé sur l’échelle se trouve sur 6 500 unités d’énergie Bovis. De 0 à 6 500, l’accusation se situe dans la zone NEGATIV ou menace le pronostic vital, tandis que plus de 6 500 points deviennent progressivement plus POSITIFS ou améliorant la qualité de la vie. Le niveau d'énergie minimum souhaité pour l'homme se situe entre 8 000 et 10 000 unités d'énergie Bovis, ou légèrement positif. La terre elle-même génère de l’énergie dans une plage de 7 000 à 18 000. Cette énergie s'appelle également "Biophotons", qui sont des particules légères invisibles à nos yeux. Ce rayonnement positif est nécessaire pour maintenir la vie sur Terre.

Ne vous inquiétez pas de demander d'où viennent ces chiffres, de quelle précision ils sont connus, ou quelle peut être la longueur d'onde de ces "biophotons" fictifs, c'est de la pseudoscience, après tout! Nous sommes tellement fatigués du mensonge suivant:

Les scientifiques ont découvert une relation directe entre l'échelle de Bovis et le sens de rotation affiché par un atome ou une molécule. Les atomes qui s'inscrivent dans le spectre de Bovis négatif tournent à droite ou dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre. Les atomes dans la zone positive tournent dans la direction opposée, à gauche. Les exemples trouvés dans la nature pour cette caractéristique de filage incluent notre ADN cellulaire, qui se trouve dans une spirale pour gaucher. En revanche, les cellules cancéreuses sont dans une courbe en rotation.

Étonnamment, ces spécialistes en communication auraient dû tomber sur un aspect du cancer qui a déclenché des milliers de vrais scientifiques, mais les lits superposés ne connaissent aucune limite! Mais cela ne s'arrête pas là. Cette eau magique peut transférer son énergie à une autre eau à proximité ou dans le but de vous donner envie de proposer votre carte de crédit pour des produits sans valeur, par exemple:

Quand une substance est placée dans ou sur (cet appareil) L '"information énergétique" est transférée de l'eau entre (ses) doubles parois à l'eau du nouveau liquide ou solide. Tous les électrons du médicament prennent des spins gauches positifs. Leur nature radicalaire est presque éliminée! … Le corps peut plus facilement traiter les produits chimiques, les allergènes ou les agents pathogènes en dehors du corps … La dépendance des médicaments est réduite … Le corps reçoit plus d'énergie naturelle sans hauteur artificielle. Les bonbons, les sodas et les desserts peuvent être placés dans ou sur des tasses pour réduire les fringales et les troubles liés à la glycémie. Permet à près de 2 litres de liquide d’être alimentés pendant la nuit au niveau de bilan énergétique idéal d’env. 90 000 unités d'énergie Bovis!

(Ils vendent également des gobelets et des gobelets similaires.) Ce qui est à propos du spin des électrons est, bien sûr, un non-sens sombre qui peut être réfuté par un étudiant en chimie au secondaire muni d'un aimant, et rien ne prouve que les avantages allégués s'étendent au-delà de l'esprit de l'utilisateur . Mais pourquoi pas "droit" tous l'eau dans votre maison?

L'appareil doit être branché au tuyau d'eau froide qui pénètre dans la maison … La tige augmente le niveau d'énergie naturelle au-dessus de 18K Bovis au maximum de pression et d'eau de puits (contre moins de 4000 dans la plupart des puits et des eaux urbaines.

L'échelle de Bovis est basée sur une unité de pendule biologique "biomètre" qui semble avoir quelque chose à voir avec "l'énergie cosmique".

Plus récemment, cette tenue s'est étendue au royaume pseudoscientifique du soir:

La nouvelle génération de Appareils à énergie quantique (QE) utilise une configuration unique qui maximise les oscillations ioniques et la stabilité des électrons jusqu’aux niveaux submoléculaires. Leur capacité à exploiter les énergies cohérentes à haute fréquence (ZeroPoint Energy) présentes naturellement dans l'environnement et à les renforcer, l'emporte sur la suppression artificielle de ces énergies qui soutiennent la vie par le progrès humain.

La ligne de fond: Aucune de ces ordures, ni aucun des règlements de Water Doctor, ne devrait être cru!

Plus de couchette de spin quantique …

S'appuyant sur "l'énergie libre" shtick, un "hyperphysicien" appelé Dan Nelson affirme avoir mis au point un "laser géométrique", générant ainsi une "onde de particules décalée dans le temps" qui donne "à l'eau une énergie restituée à l'espace vide. autour des particules. "Comme il l'explique avantageusement sur cette page de Quantum Tech (qui garantit à des étudiants férus de physique de rire aux éclats de rire)

Porter de l’eau pure dans un état quantique continu supérieur et le maintenir exige la manipulation de la thermodynamique quantique. … Le laser virtuel impose une cohérence (structure) au vide autour et à travers un volume donné d'eau et fait pivoter l'énergie du vide vers les molécules d'eau de base. Lorsque l'entropie est réduite (l'énergie inversée dans le temps utilise toujours la thermodynamique à l'envers), l'eau l'exprime physiquement en réarrangeant les particules fondamentales pour obtenir un état quantique continu plus élevé. … (l'eau) suppose un statut minimum de filature de 1,8 million de bio-angströms.

Ne vous inquiétez pas si vous ne savez pas ce qu'est un "bio angstrom"; personne d'autre ne le fait non plus! On nous dit aussi

Quantum Tech Water contient toutes les formes d'onde isotopiques appropriées nécessaires à une santé et à un bien-être optimaux. L'eau a une fonction de mémoire merveilleuse qui lui permet de stocker des informations de fréquence à l'état quantique; Cela peut être le mécanisme qui apporte les avantages des minéraux à toutes les cellules du corps en premier lieu. Ces énergies sont utilisées pour toutes les fonctions de création, de maintenance, de guérison et de réparation dans le corps. (Lien)

Vous pouvez regarder beaucoup de vidéos montrant ce vendeur d'huile de serpent en action et vous pouvez l'acheter ici pour 40 $ le demi-litre.


Un autre flogger de "l'eau à rotation inverse" propose des "tasses d'énergie" similaires. Le site pointe vers

… si vous buvez la bonne eau de spin, vous ne recevez pas l'énergie nécessaire pour rester en bonne santé. En fait, la bonne eau de rotation vous touche réellement d'énergie!

Donc, cette tenue va vous vendre une "tasse d'énergie" qui, dans les deux minutes, "changera la rotation du virage à droite, une eau malsaine en une eau SUN tournoyante à gauche". Et il y a plus (bien sûr!):

Il peut absorber les contaminants qui peuvent encore être présents dans l’eau, les neutraliser et les rendre moins nocifs, voire totalement inoffensifs!

Toutes ces absurdités incroyables!

C'est dans le livre!

Selon un site de création actuel, le terme "rotation de l'eau" a un lien biblique:

Genèse 1: 2 explique que l'Esprit de Dieu s'est déplacé sur le "visage" (littéralement en hébreu: "battre" alors que le visage "bascule" pour s'approcher d'un autre) de l'eau. Cela fait probablement référence à la fois à la rotation de la planète et à la rotation de chaque molécule d'eau (ces molécules ont un "spin" naturel). Cette action "chargera" l'eau à son niveau le plus élevé à la surface de la planète, ainsi que le réservoir dans les profondeurs profondes de la surface (7: 1).

Eau électriquement énergisée de Dieu lui-même

Un système de marketing multiniveau qui a rassemblé des centaines de revendeurs de flagellants pseudoscientifiques offre une gamme de produits qui promettent de guérir toutes les maladies:

Le neutralisant miracle du maître aidera le système immunitaire à être plus efficace dans sa lutte contre les radicaux libres; comme Dieu l'avait prévu à l'origine. Et puisque votre corps fonctionnera plus efficacement, une utilisation régulière du neutralisant peut également favoriser une perte de poids saine. De nombreux témoignages font simplement état de gouttes de neutralisant Miracle Master dans votre eau de boisson, contribuant ainsi à rendre votre eau plus sûre pour boire et éliminer les bactéries et les toxines de votre sang en tant que détergent interne. (Lien)

Cette "eau oxygénée stabilisée à énergie optique construite électriquement" contient du calcium, du potassium, du magnésium, cendres de solution de dédécyle et, plus important encore, "l'onction de Dieu". Rien de tel que d'invoquer la religion pour consommer les masses! Il est intéressant de noter qu'un autre groupe de religieux a créé un site dénonçant le travail du diable!

Pi dans le ciel

Il semble que ce soit plus qu'un fouetteur fouettant nostrum d'avoir "Pi" dans son nom. Le plus connu de ces produits est profilé Eau Pi et eau PiMag.

Un autre schéma d’eau «alternatif» farfelu nous donne ce hokumet:

Au cours des études sur les cycles de croissance de la plante, Des chercheurs japonais ont découvert une forme d’eau (contenant) des particules de fer particulièrement chargées. Les chercheurs l'ont qualifiée d '"eau vive" en raison de leurs effets sur les plantes et autres éléments en croissance. Cette eau a été découverte pour la première fois il y a plus de 30 ans.

it est un composé à base de fer dérivé de ferrates bivalents et trivalents (et) dit "eau du corps vivant"; "eau du corps vivant" (c’est-à-dire l’eau qui constitue un corps vivant) est l’eau trouvée dans tous les corps vivants, y compris les humains, les animaux et les plantes. Toute eau introduite dans un corps vivant doit être convertie en cette "eau de corps vivant". Si de l'eau simple est utilisée, beaucoup d'énergie est utilisée pour la convertir en cette eau du corps vivant.

Aucun des sites que j'ai consultés ne fournit de références à ces travaux de "chercheurs", pas plus qu'ils ne fournissent aucune preuve crédible à l'appui des affirmations et des affirmations relatives à l'eau pi, dont beaucoup sont mystérieusement:

A quoi sert cette eau miracle? De plus, selon le site Web du distributeur, les avantages sont les suivants: Restaurer les conditions environnementales, prévenir la prolifération bactérienne, supprimer les ions nocifs, favoriser la croissance, rajeunir les activités de la vie, atteindre le pouvoir de régénération, accroître la capacité d'adaptation, assurer une croissance normale.

L’affirmation selon laquelle les poissons de mer et d’eaux douces peuvent vivre ensemble dans l’eau Pi peut constituer la base d’un bon projet d’expo-sciences.

Coquelicot platonicien

Ce site contient une description inhabituellement verbeuse d'une variété d'autres eaux "alternatives", expliquant en détail pourquoi elles ne sont pas aussi bonnes que le propre M-Water Concentrate de Dr. Wheeler – à mon avis, un exemple classique de la marmite noir! Dans une prévalence encore plus grande de verbiage sans signification, on nous dit

  • L'eau est le moyen idéal pour obtenir une vibration et une énergie vitales au plus haut niveau d'amour inconditionnel pour créer une chimie vivante.(Pourquoi n'ai-je pas appris cela en prenant de la biochimie?)
  • (The Inventor) a capturé les aspects les plus importants de la géométrie platonique d’inversion solide, qui consiste à établir une vie prenant en charge les vibrations et la fréquence. Sa technologie permet à l’eau de s’écouler sur la base d’une géométrie optimisée du platon, mais sans la machinerie électronique qui provoquerait une défaillance des vibrations et une distorsion de la molécule d’eau. Il a appris à retourner le cube afin de créer la matrice idéale et complexe de géométrie incurvée pour l'écoulement de l'eau.
  • L'eau fournit la forme moléculaire idéale de clarté pure pour recevoir des vibrations et de l'énergie de dimension supérieure. Elle est également la seule substance capable de se déplacer correctement à 100% pour établir la porte à la dimension supérieure du chaos et du zéro.
  • En incitant de plus en plus de gens à boire de l'eau et à l'utiliser … L'unité de nombreux lieux différents dans le monde, le pouvoir des différents lieux sacrés peut être restauré normalement. Il s’agit de changer la planète entière pour changer les parties individuelles.
  • L'entité sous-jacente dans l'univers est drainée par de l'eau activée par M, de sorte que toute loi de la nature est stockée sous forme d'informations dans l'eau afin de promouvoir un développement humain positif. Vital Living L'eau dans la manière dont la nature est censée boire créera un paradis sur terre, à mesure que les humains évoluent dans leur cœur et créent un lien plus significatif avec un amour inconditionnel disponible au-dessus de la troisième dimension.

Mais à quoi sert ce nostrum? Selon l'inventeur (un chiropraticien qui fait largement la promotion de l'infomercial à la radio)

Quatre avantages fonctionnels de boire (mon eau): 1) augmentation de l'absorption et de l'utilisation des nutriments; 2) désintoxication plus efficace et plus efficace de tout le corps; 3) utilisation accrue d'oxygène des cellules; et 4) un processus de réplication cellulaire plus parfait.

Le site fait référence à diverses "études cliniques" que j'ai du mal à prendre au sérieux, à la fois en raison de leur apparence douteuse et du fait qu'elles n'ont pas fait l'objet d'un examen indépendant par des physiologistes ou des chimistes qualifiés.

Comme pour les différents produits à base d’eau "groupés" et à structure modifiée, cette eau est supposée pouvoir transmettre sa mémoire au-delà de la bouteille:

… quand M-Water est ajouté en petites quantités à de l'eau potable saine il se souvient des changements ultérieurs de vibrations, d'énergie et de grappes moléculaires (seulement deux cuillères à café … sont ajoutées à un litre d'eau potable propre, qui est ensuite définie comme une eau activée par M basée sur le transfert de mémoire dans l'eau), processus qui a été validé par les études de cristallisation de l'eau. De plus, la transformation de l'eau se fait en plaçant une bouteille (notre eau) à côté d'une bouteille d'eau non activée … En faisant boire de plus en plus de gens (notre eau) chaque jour, un transfert de la cohérence plus fondamentale dans l'eau de les corps des gens vont transférer à d'autres personnes. Ceux qui boivent chaque jour aideront d'autres personnes à guérir grâce à une cohérence accrue, simplement en étant à proximité.

Il n'y a aucun support scientifique pour aucune de ces revendications. À mon avis, il s'agit d'une pure pseudoscience dans le service de charlatanisme.

Starfire Eau infusé à l'air chaud

Cette promotion de l'eau Starfire offre une richesse de pseudosciences absurdes aux habitants de la-la-land. Ce nostrum n'est pas seulement "structuré" (et donc "élimine les toxines de votre corps") Et"énergie", mais contrairement aux produits concurrents, cette eau est infusé avec "Etherium, une trace d'or liquide connue (par qui?) pour faciliter la conscience supérieure."

Comment font-ils cet élixir magique?

Ils commencent par faire tourner l'eau dans un "vortex centrifuge" qui> réorganise l'ordre moléculaire dans un état réceptif afin de recevoir des vibrations à haute fréquence. L'eau passe ensuite dans une chambre où la résonance magnétique décrit une variété de fréquences dans une séquence de modulation infinie. L'ordre moléculaire et la fréquence de chargement se renforcent mutuellement pour maintenir la transformation de l'eau.

Le résultat est un liquide avec de l’eau formée dans de petits cristaux d’eau biocompatibles qui résonnent à une fréquence conçue et prévisible. Les fréquences spécifiques de la solution aqueuse structurée cristalline sont conçues pour être amplifiées par les cellules du corps humain et transmises par des voies résonantes aux tissus nécessitant un réglage. (Lien)

Comme c'est toujours le cas avec ces huiles de serpent, elles ne vous disent jamais ce que sont ces fréquences réelles, mais comme elles n'existent que dans les cerveaux des cerveaux qui flottent ces choses ou dans les simpletons scientifiques qui tombent sous le charme de ce claprap, cela n'a pas d'importance.


Tout simplement stupide

Eau désinfectante

Un certain nombre d'eaux traitées utilisent un jargon médical sophistiqué et une terminologie plutôt arrogante pour donner aux consommateurs l'impression qu'ils sont autorisés à acheter un produit qui n'est normalement disponible que pour la communauté médicale. Beaucoup d'entre eux sont décrits comme "de l'eau réduite électrolysée" (voir ma page "Eau ionisée" pour savoir en quoi consiste cette position) qui est en réalité simplement de l'acide hypochloreux. Il est vrai que la plupart des bactéries (mais pas toutes) ont tendance à ne pas prospérer dans les milieux acides, mais il existe des moyens moins coûteux d’obtenir ce qui illumine un détergent acide que d’acheter ces produits – qui ne sont probablement pas plus efficaces que le vinaigre ou le vinaigre. jus de citron.

J'ai donc eu du plaisir à trouver un produit appelé Eau de source thermale d'Avène, qui aurait un pH de 7,5, ainsi que plusieurs "oligo-éléments", qui devraient tous ravir les bactéries! Je remarque que les autres produits de cette société portent tous des noms contenant accent-e, ce qui donne sans aucun doute une impression de sophistication.

Fraude liée à la lumière

Fantasmes lointains

Il existe des centaines de sites Web proposant des produits prétendant produire un rayonnement "infrarouge lointain", et toutes ces affirmations sont vraies: tous les organes dont la température est supérieure à zéro absolu émettent un père, ce que scientifiquement ignorant ne réalise pas n'est qu'un autre mot pour " la chaleur ». Au-delà, les lits superposés pseudoscientifiques sont liés aux propriétés curatives ou bénéfiques uniques de ce rayonnement. Il semble y avoir plusieurs catégories principales de ce non-sens principalement fabriqué au Japon:

  • Substances spéciales qui ont l'intention de livrer far-i.r. au corps comme "Vêtements de thérapie infrarouge lointaine" et "Vêtements Nikken ThermoWear"
  • "Bio-céramique"qui fera la même chose, comme Vita-Mat,
  • Matériel d'élimination des toxines et de traitement / prévention du cancer et "IR lointain. saunas"comme la serre à thérapie infrarouge lointaine qui utilise une lampe" spéciale "pour générer le rayonnement (Remarque: tous Un autre "sauna" prétend être efficace pour une large gamme de traitements, allant de la détoxication au mercure à la fibromyalgie et au syndrome de fatigue chronique. Pour ceux qui préfèrent se désintoxiquer pendant leur sommeil, il existe des "coussins pour les pieds détoxifiants".
  • Minéraux sous forme de tourmaline (voir ci-dessous)

Un coussin chauffant appelé Bio-Mat ™ mx Amethyst fournit un bon exemple de battage médiatique pseudoscientifique: ils le revendiquent

"est un système de traitement à base d'ions négatifs et de rayons infrarouges de haute technologie qui émet de nombreux ions négatifs et rayons infrarouges lointains, contribuant ainsi à une vie saine …"

et utiliser Améthyste comme on dit

"est devenu connu comme un cristal de pouvoir doté de pouvoirs de guérison luxuriants pouvant être qualifiés de nettoyant, de pacifiant et de transition. L'améthyste en tant que pierre de soin ou cristal contient des qualités innovantes et apaisantes et est utilisé pour traiter et soigner les problèmes liés au système nerveux central."

L'affirmation trompeuse indique qu'il est "motivé par le comité médical Nobel", mais la réaction qu'ils ont n'a rien à voir avec le produit. Comme de nombreux fabricants, ils mentionnent de manière évidente qu’il a obtenu l’approbation de la FDA, mais ne remarquent pas qu’une telle approbation (par opposition à un médicament) signifie seulement qu’elle peut être utilisée en toute sécurité; Cela ne soutient certainement pas les prétentions ridicules.

Bien entendu, il n’existe aucune preuve crédible à l’appui des allégations de santé formulées par les promoteurs de ces produits. Un article publié en 2003 par une équipe de scientifiques japonais (appuyée par un appareil) observait une guérison plus rapide des ulcères de la peau chez les rats, tout en présumant qu'il s'agissait d'un rayonnement infrarouge intermédiaire, mais il n'excluait pas d'autres longueurs d'onde IR ou un échauffement localisé étroit.

Ajoutez à cela loin de la route. La stupidité était une tenue de la Floride qui promouvait les "vêtements" en plastique comme étant "structurés" par l'eau en utilisant far-i.r. vagues, éliminant ainsi le besoin de détergents. La société a été accusée de pratiques commerciales trompeuses dans Utah et Oregon.

Donne-moi un Smirnov!

Partant du principe que plus le surnom est scientifique, plus il impressionnera ceux qui ne maîtrisent pas la science, cet équipement vous offre une technologie de "résonance magnétique" appelée MRET Water Activator, basée sur ce que je considère comme une "poubelle". brevet. Alors que cette machine est assise tranquillement sur la table de la cuisine, un

Des champs électromagnétiques de basse fréquence subtils sont imprimés dans l'eau. Il est similaire au champ géomagnétique naturel situé près des sources d’eau curative. .. MRET L'eau agit comme un moyen de communication entre les cellules. Il transmet des messages d'activité moléculaire préenregistrés à des systèmes biologiques.

C’est essentiellement le même non-sens trompeur qui est flagellé par les sites de "charlatanisme en grappes" et, comme ils le prétendent, il "hydrate" le corps mieux que l’eau ordinaire, ralentit le vieillissement, "détoxifie" le corps, etc. , propose plusieurs pages de "recherches scientifiques" que toute personne connaissant la littérature scientifique considérera comme indésirables – des références incomplètes et inexplicables à des revues douteuses, des listes tout aussi invérifiables d’institutions apparemment impliquées, etc. La référence à une absurdité est particulièrement extrême. article suggérant que l'eau MRET pourrait bénéficier aux patients atteints de la maladie d'Alzheimer.

En quoi l'eau finie est-elle différente de l'eau ordinaire? La réponse (trouvée sur un site Web précédent) ferait rire tous ceux qui terminaient un cours de chimie secondaire:

(Cette) eau a une énergie moléculaire plus élevée, des fréquences de vibration plus rapides et des ondes de vibration plus intensives. Au cours du processus d'activation, la configuration des molécules d'eau renforce la structure de liaison hydrogène. Bien que la forme des molécules ait changé, la structure de base reste la même.

Le composant clé de cette machine est apparemment un

diode électroluminescente polymère spécialement conçue, qui clignote à une fréquence d'impulsion spécifique avec une fréquence similaire à la fréquence magnétique terrestre. La fréquence géomagnétique de cette terre est un facteur important dans l'alimentation de toutes les formes de vie.

Le génie derrière cette huile de serpent classique est apparemment un Igor Smirnov – le même, je suppose, qui utilise des systèmes de contrôle mental aussi difficiles que ceux décrits ici. Selon cet abrégé, Smirnov a publié un article intitulé "Eau activée« dans Journal électronique de biotechnologie (un obscur journal chilien). Je n'ai pas trouvé de traces de cet article dans le numéro cité (Vol 6, 2003-2), mais une version PDF de l'article allégué est disponible.

Quelques points de vente typiques, dont beaucoup ont reçu l'aval de divers "docteurs" présumés: Zone de sécurité EMF I-H2O, technologie BioPro

MRET Water est également commercialisée sous les noms ERT Water et iWater.

Selon le site Web d'un promoteur canadien de MLM:

"L'essence d'I-H2O ™ réside dans la combinaison de deux technologies révolutionnaires: les paires brevetées et brevetées combinent la composition polymère spéciale de MRET® et le marquage énergétique subtil d'ERT ™. Une combinaison d'aimants et d'une diode électroluminescente (DEL). Le polymère breveté MRET®, qui fournit un champ sonore très efficace, des oscillations basse fréquence activent et remplacent les structures moléculaires de l’eau pour une eau ou un fluide hautement intelligent et biodisponible, associé à la technologie brevetée ERT ™ de BIOPRO, qui confère une signature énergétique subtile et vitale à L'eau, le i-H2O ™ représente vraiment une avancée scientifique majeure dans la technologie de l'eau. "MRET® et l'ERT ™ exclusif de BIOPRO. Le processus utilise une double action unique en son genre comme synergie


Ionisation photonique

Ce terme est utilisé pour décrire un processus développé par un gentleman qui prétend (faussement) que des liquides de compositions chimiques spécifiques circulant à travers des fils transparents ont été soumis à des champs électromagnétiques (photoniques) avec des intensités de champ, des longueurs d'onde, des largeurs d'impulsions, des amplitudes et des fréquences spécifiques. leurs molécules pourraient être substantiellement modifiées et séparées de la solution. L’application principale est apparemment un sel anhydre, mais l’inventeur suggère que ce procédé puisse être utilisé pour produire diverses boissons modifiées, y compris des types convenant à la thérapie, des antioxydants, des carbonates superoxydés, à base de plantes, purgatifs, désacidifiants et carbonatés / non oxydants. applications.

commentaire: Il va sans dire que "l'ionisation photonique" est un non-sens total. Je n'ai pas pu trouver de références primaires à ce processus en ligne. La plupart des références au processus semblent indiquer des "indices financiers" dans lesquels les gestionnaires de fonds sont invités à diriger les investisseurs vers d'excellents systèmes sonores. La société à l'origine de cette opération a été retirée de la célèbre bourse OTC en 2000.

L'énergie des ondes de lumière d'origine hydrique (rare!)

Voici une entreprise qui colporte une variété d’eau contenant des minéraux tels que

"Utilisé pour maintenir et acheminer des signaux d'énergie lumineuse électriquement chargés vers des zones d'animaux et d'humains. Lorsque les minéraux sont fractionnés en composants plus petits, ils peuvent être codés avec des ondes lumineuses non visibles. Différentes combinaisons d'ondes lumineuses sont utilisées dans chaque formulation. Chaque produit est codé de manière à déclencher des réponses spécifiques en fonction des objectifs d'une formulation particulière "utilisant" des énergies d'ondes lumineuses très subtiles obtenues à partir de la nature ".

Ils continuent d'expliquer que "tout le corps utilise les énergies des ondes lumineuses et détecte les signaux transmis. Si les signaux sont suffisamment précis et puissants, le corps réagit positivement". Dans le but de convaincre les adeptes de la chiropratique, ils proposent une série de 26 formulations, leur huile de serpent, soigneusement ajustées à l’une des «26 vertèbres et plaies» soupçonnées de leur être associées.

Je ne vais même pas essayer de démystifier cette fausse absurdité, car quiconque est suffisamment crédible pour le prendre au sérieux est probablement aussi isolé de la raison pour même écouter un argument rationnel.

Analysez vos propres bio-photos!

Pour seulement US $ 1850, vous pouvez obtenir leur propre analyseur Bio-Photon qui «fera des remèdes, des énergies de clonage et des remèdes homéopathiques, et prendra des antidotes».

Remarque: émissions bIOPHOTON, utilisé dans la littérature scientifique, fait référence à une chimioluminescence extrêmement faible provenant de systèmes vivants. Par exemple, voir Une introduction aux émissions de biophoton humain ou cet article de Wikipedia. Il n'a pas fallu très longtemps aux escrocs et aux arnaqueurs pour comprendre l’utilisation du terme qui permet de séparer les ventouses de leurs dollars en envoyant des "analyseurs" sans valeur.

Cristaux et minéraux mystérieux

La nature hautement ordonnée des cristaux et leur symétrie agréable ont toujours favorisé une confiance totale en leurs pouvoirs de guérison. Mais comme tout chimiste qui les a étudiés, leur symétrie et leur beauté ne représentent rien de plus que le fonctionnement des lois de la physique connue.

Vibration dérivée du cristal vaudou

Un thème commun qui séduit les candidats dont le cerveau vit dans les basses terres est que les cristaux sont capables d’émettre des "vibrations de guérison". Par exemple:

Live Essence H2O utilise une "machine à eau Blueprint" pour traiter l'eau de sorte qu'elle "équilibre les organes et les glandes non équilibrés dans le corps. Pour cela, il utilise des cristaux qui donnent les fréquences propres à chaque cellule. Les cristaux tirent leur énergie du Père Soleil et de la Terre Mère.« Il »ouvre la structure cellulaire du corps pour éliminer les toxines existantes des cellules, permettant à ces cellules de s'hydrater et de se réparer naturellement".

La mise en contact de divers solides (généralement exotiques ou exotiques nommés «minéraux») est une histoire ancienne de guérison chamanique et holistique.

Un ancien site Web australien décrit un "filtre" qui utilise plusieurs de ces substances:

Pierre Taicho "libère une énergie naturelle qui dégrade, charge et inactive les bactéries et les virus nocifs. L'eau qui passe sur la pierre de Taicho devient également "biostatique", ce qui signifie qu'elle supprimera, pendant 10 jours maximum, la croissance des bactéries, des champignons et des algues."

Il faut toujours se méfier des bidouilleurs qui parlent d '"énergies naturelles" dotées de pouvoirs magiques. Si Taicho Stone est assez puissant pour le faire, je ne pense pas que je risquerais de l'avoir près de mon eau potable!

ils médias en céramique est un matériau exclusif à base de silicium tel que irradier dans le spectre infrarouge lointain. En présence d'eau, elle produit un ion réduit de courte durée dans l'eau, dont le comportement est comparable à celui des antioxydants traditionnels, à savoir qu'il neutralise les radicaux libres au contact..

"Infrarouge lointain" est un autre concept coloré pour les drageons qui sont supposés ne pas savoir que ce rayonnement est 1) trop faible pour avoir un effet physique ou chimique durable sur quoi que ce soit, et 2) est libéré par tous objets au-dessus de la température zéro absolu.

Bakuhan est un minéral volcanique qui augmente l'alcalinité naturelle de l'eau, augmente la teneur en oxygène dissous dans l'eau et comme il est conditionné en présence d'eau, réduit la tension superficielle de l'eau.

Je n'ai pas pu trouver assez d'informations pour évaluer cela. On peut se demander comment devrait provenir l'augmentation d'oxygène (je ne vois aucun minéral mince qui aurait cet effet.) Il n'y a pas non plus de raison évidente pour laquelle une réduction de la tension superficielle est souhaitable dans l'eau potable.

Et lignende nettsted touts noen av disse samme mineraler som helbredelse og re-creations av (fiktive) "Hunza" farvann.

Deretter er det Adya-antrekket som flokker biotitt og humør (se nedenfor) produkter som de hevder (falskt, etter min mening) å gi mineralioner med forbedret biotilgjengelighet til de som finnes i et balansert kosthold.

Angstrom mineral mumbo-jumbo

The various mineral elements essential for our bodies are readily available in any balanced diet. For a relatively small number of people, special supplements may be indicated. Of course, the alternative-health-quackery industry does its best to convince everyone that they need more, and thousands of such (generally worthless) products are on the market. But in my opinion, the most egregious marketers of mineral misinformation are the hawkers of so-called Angstrom minerals. (typical site) The name comes from a unit of length known as the Ångstrom; 1Å = 100 pm = 10–10 m, and is intended to imply that these minerals are so finely divided that they are more readily taken up by the body. This is deceptive nonsense; minerals are absorbed in the form of dissolved ions by channels in the intestinal wall that are exquisitely adapted for this purpose. Many of the vendors of these nostrums make the absurd claim that "our minerals are a million times smaller than colloidal particles." Given that the upper range of colloidal side is about 200 nm, this would make these mineral wonders only 0.1 pm in size — smaller than than that of hydrogen (31 pm), the smallest atom!

The dumbest promotions I have seen flog "Angstrom Germanium"(see here and here ) — an element with no known biological function to which they attribute numerous imaginary functions (including, of course anti-cancer properties). Don't fall for this deceptive garbage!

"Black mica" black magic (biotite)

Biotite is a commonly-found aluminosilicate mineral mostly seen as the black specks in granite. It is widely found in metamorphic rocks and as deposits near extinct volcanos. Structurally, it is similar to micas and clays in that it is made up of sheets of covalently-bound atoms arranged in stacks that are weakly bound together by potassium ions.  The overall formula is K(Mg,Fe)3AlSi3O10(F,OH)2. It is virtually insoluble in ordinary water, but in common with other minerals of its type, it can slowly break down in the presence of acidic water.

As with so many naturally-occuring crystalline substances, biotite has attracted the attention of the  snake-oil hucksters who have created a market among science-challenged alternative-health consumers.  The biotite nonsense apparently started in the 1960's when a Japanese "scientist and doctor" Asao Shimanishi, "after decades of research", "invented a patented way to extract the minerals and maintain them in ionized form" —  something anyone can do (and nature does all the time) by exposing biotite to slightly-acidified water! The resulting grossly-overpriced "rock flakes" or water extracts are widely (and falsely) flogged as essential nutritional supplements.

As if this were not enough, the fiction has developed that biotite can magically remove all contaminants from water. There is some truth to this, but only a little: as biotite partially dissolves, some of the aluminum ion hydrolyzes to form a gelatinous precipitate of aluminum hydroxide which sinks to the bottom of the container, supposedly entrapping the unwated substances. A similar method (but employing alum, a form of aluminum sulfate) has been a standard method removing particuate matter in municipal water treatment for more than a century. But it will not remove dissolved heavy metals or most organics. And although it is widely claimed to remove fluoride from water, it really does just the opposite: it releases fluoride inn i the water, as is well-documented in the geochemical literature (typical citation).

Some typical hype about biotite-treated water (link):

  • Black Mica removes all the organic, and chemical contaminants, including chlorine, fluoride and ALL other chemicals.
  • Radiation is blocked by black mica
  • Helps one to see issues clearly and rationally. Known as a “Stone of Life”, Biotite has been used for disorders of disorganized cellular patterns, and to clear radiation. Black Biotite is a strong grounding and powerful grounding stone. Provides one with clear discernment and grounding.

Similarly dumb "facts" can be found here.

In summary, there is no credible scientific evidence that biotite/black mica has any health benefit.

"Natural but charged, volcanic feldspar stones"

form the basis of Kiko Technology's absurd scheme for "energizing" water which I comment on here.

Tourmaline tonic

"Tourmaline" has recently been the favorite buzzword for the marketers of all sorts of dubious products, including water filters.

"Tourmaline NATURALLY emits far infrared energy" (link) — but so does alle matter at temperatures above absolute zero!

This site is typical of the breathless bunk being circulated about the magical nature of this mineral.

The facts: Tourmaline refers to a group of minerals (see this Wikipedia article) which, like many others such as quartz, possess some interesting electrical properties: squeezing them or subjecting them to heat produces an electrical potential difference between the two sides of a crystal. (These properties are respectively known as piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity.) The latter effect causes tourmline crystals in display cases to attract dust particles to themselves. In 1993 a Japanese group published an article suggesting that exposure of cells to tourmaline crystals causes possibly-beneficial changes to human leukocytes. But the fact that they attribute these effects in part to "far-infrared radiation" makes one wonder about their scientific competence. As far as I am aware, there is no credible evidence that tourmaline products offer any health benefit.

Quartz crystal quackery

The ScaleHound purports to be a replacement for conventional ion-exchange water softeners. They make the scientifically absurd claim that

Inside the Scalehound unit is quartz crystal and precious metals that have been manufactured and arranged in a particular way to which it emits a frequency wave that is able to restructure the water molecules permanently giving you the feeling of soft water.

Farther on, they feed us more new-age mind-mush about the magic of quartz:

Quartz is an abundant material which has the ability to enhance energy by absorbing, storing, amplifying, balancing, focusing and transmitting.  Quartz is a natural occurring element that has not been analyzed fully by the scientific community, yet we have discovered the secret to harnessing this magnificent resource for the benefit of civilization.

You can install it yourself "by just clamping it on to any copper, pex (plastic) or steel pipe."

This product appears to be a glorified water filter based on the magic of quartz crystals. It combines nonsense about water clusters, crystal magic, chackras and auras. The "energized" quartz crystals possess "piezoelectric natural energy exponentially enhanced to have a stronger energy level". Thier "proof" consists of a lot of meaningless SEM photos.The product claims (falsely, in my opinion) to soften water.

The basis for this rubbish seems to be the "inventions" of one Marcel Vogel, described as "a former IBM scientist" who is quoted as stating that

“A crystal is an assemblage of molecules that form a unit cell, a consciousness, a soul. It takes your program and draws to itself the replication of its image.”

Elsewhere, it is stated that

if you turn water around a charged Vogel Crystal, the moving body of water will pick up the field from the crystal, through resonant interaction, and the charge transferred will structure the water. Another discovery was that when a quartz crystal is left in water, it changes the pH balance and had fewer impurities. The results were testimony of better tasting water. Plants have also been known to grow faster with crystal in the potting soil.

Shungite

Shungite is a recent addition to the list of magical minerals that is supposed to protect you from everything… except from the hucksters who flog shungite key fobs and similar geegaws that purport to enclose you in a virtual protective dome — great for those who see electromagnetic threats from every direction and have felt threatened ever since leaving their mother's womb:

"it eliminates and absorbs all that imposes a hazard on people and living beings, but it concentrates and restores all that is helpful for a human being. Shungite shields electromagnetic radiation of high and ultrahigh frequency. The scientists who have investigated the shungite declare unanimously, it is a miracle!

As if that were not enough, it cures whatever-ails-you:

headaches, stomachaches pain, spots on skin, aches in a back and others. Shungite pyramid is a shield for hazardous radiation. The scientific investigations of trustworthy scientists showed that pathogenic and electromagnetic radiation causes heart diseases and up to 60% cancer diseases. They are able to protect people from negative influence, is a guard against the "evil eye", that is against alien negative power-information field, which leads to sudden deterioration of human health for no obvious reason." (link)

(And for those who are tormented by "alien negative power-information fields", it's probably cheaper than a psychiatrist!)

Shungite is a rare carbon mineral closely related to anthracite coal. As such, it probably contains the usual assortment of carbonaceous muck, but also some fullerenes ("buckyballs") — presently the only known natural source of these interesting compounds. Some components leach out on contact with water, and some people are foolish enough to drink this stuff. Shungite has been a part of Russian folk-medicine since the time of Peter the Great, and, incommon with a number of minerals (including petroleum and tars), it does exhibit antiseptic properties. Beyond this,there is of course no credible evidence for any of the fraudulant hype.

The Russian Orthodox Church is reported have joined the shungite scam by selling cellphone protector stickers.

Sicon silliness

The makers of another device aim their pitch at the subset of science-ignorant suckers who are into crystal-power and chackras. The asking price of around $200 can be regarded as a kind of a tax on stupidity. Here is a summary of some of their promotional bunk— much of which is typical of what will be found at similar huckster sites:

In the course of its treatment and its transport in water supply pipes, our drinking water has largely lost the energetic information necessary for a healthy life. A piping length of 240 feet (80 meters) is sufficient to transform healthy spring water to 'dead' water. This affects almost every household.

This "energetic information" has never been detected, or even defined. This is all erroneous nonsense.

Water is changeable; it is able to absorb, transfer and release information in its structure. Therefore, even after physical purification, water still often carries unhealthy electromagnetic frequencies from poisonous substances.

Water is unable to retain "information" in its structure because the structure is continually changing at a rate of about a million million times per second. Similarly, the reference to "unhealthy electromagnetic frequencies" is pure bunk.

Minerals carry in their crystal structure unchangeable information from their geological genesis. These ancient frequencies are able to erase and transform negative patterns in the water. As tests have shown, the structure of water revitalized with the Sicon Aqua Activator resembles that of natural spring water. Organisms which come into contact with activated water are revitalized with beneficial and regulating impulses.

There are no "frequencies" (ancient or otherwise) in mineral crystals. And of course the Sicon people offer no credible supporting evidence for the their claims about the structure of their "revitalized" water and its effect on organisms.

… contains quartz crystals charged with information to support the homeostasis of the human organism. This information includes the resonance numbers of all important meridians of the human body… Activated water especially stabilizes the crown and heart chakras.

OK, so they stick a piece of quartz in their device. So what? Since when does a crystal of SiO2 molecules have anything to do with the concept of homeostasis, which is a well understood aspect of physiology? Well, people who are stupid enough to believe in body meridians and chackras will probably fall for this nutty nonsense!

Health practitioners using bio-feedback, reflex zone analysis or electro-acupuncture or people familiar with radiesthesy (pendulum, divining rod…) can immediately measure and verify the positive effect of Sicon Aqua activated water on the human body.

It's remarkable that these benefits of "ionized water" can be detected only through the use of weird instruments and methods that are known only to quackery crowd and have no place in scientific physiology or chemistry.

To make this all appear "scientific", they provide a link to a "report" from the IBBU (Institut für Biosensorik und Bioenergetische Umweltforschung).

Ach du lieber! This "report", a compendium of pseudoscientific sophistry, must have been written der little elves in der Black Forest. They provide lots of numbers, none of which are meaningful or believable. None of this garbage would ever pass muster in a reputable scientific journal.

Vivified nonsense

"A special composition of natural minerals (nono-crystals)" is claimed to "create an harmonizing and ordering paramagnetic resonance field that enables the water to restructure its molecules." The vendor claims that the resulting "re-vitalised" water reduces scaling, increases plant growth, assists detoxification, stabilized the immune system, and restores "harmony and energy levels". Of course, consumers must take this on pure faith, since no evidence for any of these benefits is given. Suckers only for this one!

Humic humbug

If drinking or bathing in swamp water is for you, then any number of nostrums based on humic acid or related substances might have some appeal. Humic substances (Wikipedia, NorthEastern U. Humic Research Group) are the products of partial decomposition of plant material in anoxic conditions such as exist in soils, peat bogs and swamps. They are complex polymeric substances of indefinite composition which are often classified as humic or fulvic acids, depending on their solubility properties. Humic substances are the principal organic fraction of soils, and they are able to bind a very large variety of inorganic ions (including heavy metals), as well as taking up non-water soluble organic substances. But leave it to the health-quackery industry to flog these substances to credulous consumers:

… they help our cells absorb vitamins and nutrients and maintain balance. Humic substances are also natural detoxifiers, antioxidants and free radical scavengers. (link)

Among their other ridiculous claims, we are told that

Ground water and even spring waters are now contaminated with pesticides, metals and industrial chemicals. Since fulvic acids enter the cells we must be sure that the pattern of the toxic molecules are not carried into the cell. Even the best filtration can not remove his negative pattern from water; even distillation cannot— this is a well established homeopathic principle.

Well, I very much doubt that any molecules as huge as fulvic acids can enter cells at all, which is probably just as well, considering the wide variety of chemically active and oxidizing groups they contain, as well as whatever metal ions and other organic gunk they might carry along with them.

Several humic/fulvic acid products masquerade as "detoxifying" supplements; one claims that consumption of these materials "by any life form" (worms?) results in

increased energy is among the first results, followed by a noticeable improvement in morale. Other effects could include decreased appetite, deeper, higher-quality sleep, and a lessening of pain and debility from arthritis or physical injuries. (link)

…and more nonsensical pseudoscience:

(Fulvic acid) is the finest electrolyte known to man. Its electrolytes are able to restore vitality in all life forms. When the electrolyte potential (the zeta potential) fades away, so does energy and health. It is indeed the main reason why we get old. It promotes an electrochemical balance as both donor and receptor of electrons. (link)

Most pitches for these dubious products mention their use in Ancient Chinese (link) and Ayurvedic medicine, and also claim "decades of extensive research and proven results" but, like most promoters of "alternative health" products, never seem able to cite any supporting evidence in the reputable clinical literature.

For an independent opinion on humic acid supplements, see this 2017 article by Marilia Coutinho Ph.D.

Lignite cocktail

Lignite is a similar humic material, but more compressed and coal-like. Anyway, a Bionic Sciences product called Restore makes a supplement containing a "stabilized lignite extract" they call "Terrahydrite". (They have recenlly announced that they will be changing the description of the product to (the more palatable "Aqueous Humic Substances.)

On another page, BS's founder states that Restore "promotes strong membrane integrity through its direct and indirect effects on the tight junctions of the bowel wall and vascular systems of the body." (It is not clear that this is a common or widely encountered clinical problem.) It acts indirectly by serving as a medium that promotes the growth of "microbiome balance" in the colon.  In support of these claims, BS cites two articles coauthored by BS's CEO that have appeared in an "open source" journal.  These were not clinical studies on actual patients, but were carried out on cultered human epithelial cells.

This is all well and good, but does Restore offer any real health advantages?  I am not aware of any clear evidence that it does, lack of any independent studies and BS's mass marketing directly to the alternative-health crowd leaves me very skeptical.

Zeolite zaniness

Zeolites are clay-like porous mineral and synthetic materials based typically on sodium aluminum silicates which possess the ability to absorb and exchange metallic ions of many kinds. The powdered solids have a large variety of uses, one of which is the production of worthless nostrums for which the usual groundless claims are made: "detoxifying" the body's cells, restore "pH balance", acting as antioxidants, and, particularly egregious, curing/preventing cancer.

The cancer-cure claims commonly cite scientific studies suggesting that zeolites such as clinoptilolite have been found to interfere with cell signalling pathways that are involved in some cancers. This is correct, but so have many thousands of other substances; there is a very long path from these observations to clinical results. The marketing claims about the health aspects of zeolite materials lack credible scientific support, and can be considered little more than deceptive marketing. One article of interest claims that a zeolite-derived product might be harmful.

Zeolites are solids and their properties are directly dependent on their solid-state structure; zeolites cannot exist as liquids, nor can they be dissolved en liquids without decomposition. This elementary fact has not deterred numerous promoters from offering "liquid zeolite" products, often at extortionate prices; these should be regarded as nothing more than old-fashioned snake-oil. As for ingesting solid zeolites, they are largely inert and will simply pass through the digestive tract without much change. There is no reason to believe that they can pass into the vascular system, and thence into individual cells. Two typical misinformation-filled sites are this one, and also this rant on something called "Natural Cellular Defense".

As if taking advantage of chemistry-challenged consumers and desperate cancer victims is not bad enough, some hucksters go for the new-age mind-mush crowd:

"A group of scientists recently met and they put these drops under an electron microscope and discovered that this product is alive. It is generating light. They they dehydrated it and reconstituted it and it still emits light. In other words… Cellular Electrical Energy is the Life Force of the BodyTHIS RECHARGES THE HUMAN BATTERY!" (link)

Well, anybody who falls for this kind of garbage can consider the money they pay as a "tax on stupidity".

Prill Beads: Magic from magnesium

One of the goofiest products I have come across are "Prill Beads" which consist of "magnesium oxide infused with Life Force." These magical beads "have a natural affinity to anything unnatural. This is why they help rid the body of heavy metals, toxins and dead proteins." Water that is treated by these "prills" is claimed to have smaller molecules (for better absorption by the body) and is restored to the state found in amniotic fluid and "primordial dew". How do they make this magical stuff? By magic, of course! Their device

can be pictured as a configuration of the Force of Love. An outer ring containing more than 120,000 pounds of the Crystal form of Love … and an inner ring where the force is stored. … Anything placed in this space, simply becomes magical.

What could be easier? The site, containing some of the silliest we have seen, also claims that your treated used bath water will help restore the aquatic environment after it disappears down the drain.

Pursanova ™ poppycock

This company's products are supposed to be based on certain unspecified "ores" that they claim establishes some kind of "resonance" with water,

"causing the bending and stretching vibration to accelerate and become faster and more active… H+ of water is given more opportunity to bond and reduce its surrounding “_“ (negative electrons) . This very action of H+ bonding to “–“ creates a reduced state in water"

This is of course utter nonsense, as are many other claims, totally lacking in credible scientific support:

  • "Bodily fluids are deoxidized, made stronger, more balanced, and the body’s immune system is strengthened."
  • Their PursaLex™ system utilizes an "anti-gravitational process first reduces harmful antioxidants and the“oxidation” found in regular water"
  • "It is able to condition and energize all living organisms it touches, whether humans, plants, animals, bacteria, even fungi." (So do you really want to "energize" those bacteria and fungi in and around you?)
  • They also offer a PursaLite™ stirring rod that magically conveys the benefits of their "resonance technology" to your favorite beverage.

Charged, ionized and super-ionized waters

Note: the floggers of home electrolytic "water ionizer" devices also use the nonsense term "ionized water" to describe the imaginary benefits of their products.

A number of vendors claim that they are able to "charge" water in some way. Some use this term erroneously in reference to magnetic treatment, but others apparently are convinced (or want to convince the unknowing consumer) that they can actually impart an electric charge to the water, either by injecting electrons into it or bringing about some kind of ionization. This is errant nonsense; neither water, nor any bulk substance, can acquire and retain a net electric charge of significant magnitude.

The alleged purpose of most of these treatments is to destroy the "free radicals" that are byproducts of oxidative metabolism and are considered to be bad things to have floating around in our cells, hence the interest in dietary supplements such as vitamin E and similar anti-oxidants which are believed to gobble up free radicals such as peroxides and superoxides. Billions of years of evolution have provided us with enzymes such as peroxide dismutase that are millions of times more efficient in dealing with these species than any patent medicine, and there is no clinical evidence that anti-oxidant dietary additives have any effect on general health and mortality. As one might expect, the funny-water crowd don't want you to know this, and are offering various "reduced" water products purported to contain either atomic hydrogen, or even better, the hydride ion (H), which would undoubtedly be antioxidants par excellence if they could actually exist in water, which they cannot. See the Negative hydrogen ion site for a misinformation-filled essay on the subject that will leave any chemist laughing or crying.

A typical huckster outfit peddles water purporting to have "more electrons than normal water" and whose molecule "is one half the size of the normal water molecule which makes it more permeable to the cells…and allows the body to assimilate it more rapidly."

This, of course, is fraudulant rubbish; bulk matter containing more than a minute (and chemically insignificant) excess of a single electric charge cannot exist (the "electroneutrality principle"), and even if negatively-charged H2O molecules could be made (and they can exist and be studied in the gas phase), they would be større than their neutral parent species owing to electron-electron repulsion.

In common with many purveyors of "holistic" nostrums, these people claim to know the source of environmental toxins:

"The chemical bonds created by humans in the chemistry labs have been formed through artificially bonding elements in abnormal ways. These artificial bonds are very hard to break, resulting in pollution and toxicity in the environment and the physical body. Unnatural molecules, such as found in petrochemicals (fuels), pharmaceuticals, food additives, hydrogenated oils (such as margarine, commercial mayonnaise, peanut butter, etc) herbicides and pesticides, sometimes have bonds so strong that some of them must be heated to 7000 degrees before they can break down and return to natural forms."

Other pages at this site discuss the "consciousness" of this water, and offer "Messages from the Higher Realms" concerning "Spiritual Channeled messages from the Angels and other ascended beings from the Realms of Love and Light regarding the gift of this water to humanity at this time."

If you can believe this stuff, you can probably believe anything!

Finally, check out this wisdom that anyone who has passed high school Chemistry will find ludicrous:

"Super Ionized Water has three extra electrons in the water molecule's outer orbits, and it is also stable. If you analyze the SIW water you will find nothing but water. But if you take an ordinary lamp and simply put the plug into a glass of SIW it will light up the lamp brighter than if you plugged it into a wall. Obviously, it is not ordinary water. It is a water filled with electricity."

But you don't need to depend on water to supply your ions; there are many outfits offering "ion-generating jewelry". One brand name might better describe some kind of laxative:

Water smacking nonsense

The pseudoscience-filled promo for the Water Smacker® has to be seen to be (dis)believed! It will not only micro-cluster and "ionize" your drinking water; its internal Tesla coils will also give it (and you!) an electrostatic charge, which will help your cells absorb water. Never mind that the miniscle negative charge that this device puts in he small amount of water you drink will be dispersed to nothingness within the far greater mass of your body (and also that your cells need no help in absorbing water as long as you drink enough!)

Perhaps the most ludicrous claim is that the device "sends the natural Schumann frequency 7.5hz of the Earth into the water." Rubbish! Everything on the earth is already exposed to this frequency, which is produced by the radio waves from world-wide lightning strikes in the waveguide-like space between the earth's surface and its conductive ionosphere.

On another page they spout on about "ORMUS" pseudoscience, which I debunk elsewhere on this same page.

And, of course, they make the usual false claim that "Cancer can not grow in an alkaline body".

Oxygenated Water

There is now a separate OxyScams page.

Hydrogenated Water

This can refer to water to which hydrogen gas has been added (see below), or, more commonly, to what is sometimes known as "reduced" water, which is nonsense since "reduction" of water (in the chemical use of the term) would yield plain hydrogen gas.

Waters containing dissolved hydrogen gas

Dihydrogen (H2) is sparingly soluble in pure water (up to 0.0007 mol/L at body temperature, but less than this in body fluids.) It is also an efficient reducing agent (antioxidant) that can destroy peroxides and free radicals that are natural side-effects of aerobic metabolism. However, there is little if any clinical evidence that the body's own extensive complement of antioxidants cannot adequately cope with this problem.

Many laboratory studies have shown that H2 gas, even in the small quantities present in  H2-saturated water, can reduce cytotoxic oxygen species in artificially-induced cell damage in cell cultures or in rats:

  • Hydrogen acts as a therapeutic antioxidant: Nature Medicine 13, 688 – 694 (2007)
  • A Google Scholar search on "hydrogen therapy" lists an extensive  number of studies (but few in mainline, non-open access journals.)
  • The hydrogen highway to reperfusion therapy: Nature Medicine 13(6) 2007 673-74 suggests that hydrogen gas offers "explosive potential" (a rather unfortunate choice of words, given the well-known chemical properties of hydrogen!) as a cytoprotective therapy for ischemia-reperfusion injury and stroke, but does not offer any actual clinical results.
  • A number of human clinical studies have shown some promise. A 2008 article by a Japanese group found that hydrogen-saturated water was able improve glycemic response in a small group of diabetic patients.
  • Effects of drinking hydrogen-rich water on the quality of life of patients treated with radiotherapy for liver tumors: Med Gas Res. 2011; 1: 11. (This is a for-profit "open access that may not be adequately refereed.)

At the present time, there seems to be little if any credible evidence that drinking "hydrogenated water" can benefit anyone other than the usual hype-hucksters who offer this nostrum. The best that can be said is that there is little reason to believe that H2-rich water can be harmful, except to one's wallet. Gaseous H2, however, can be deadly, as it forms an explosive mixture with oxygen.

Typical huckster sites range from the relatively innoculous (AquaSciences, the Turapur Pitcher) to many that promote (worthless) alkaline waters (such as AlkaWay, Kangen and RedOrbit) which usually contain some by-product hydrogen.

Turapitch pitcher pitch

This over-the-top, over-hyped, and scientifically-unsupported screed proclaims that ordinary water will "make you older", but the "fountain of youth" they offer will deliver "this super-powerful antioxidant" to your ailing mitochondria and help "maintain the energy of your your youth".  And what is this wondrous stuff?  Hydrogen, of course!  And where does the H2 come from?  Why from their magical pitcher, part of which is made of metallic magnesium, which, they tell us, reacts with water to release hydrogen gas, of which a minute quantity dissolves in water:  Mg + 2 H2O → Mg(OH)2 + H2. What they pas tell you, as any chemist could, is that this reaction only takes place when the H2O is in the form of steam; Mg does not react with water at room temperature.  Another example of exploiting the scientifically ignorant.

Hydrogen quackery and nonsense

What most of the hucksters who flog this snake-oil really claim to be selling is water containing "active hydrogen"—which to a chemist would imply atomic hydrogen (H), as opposed to ordinary elemental hydrogen H2. But as every first-year Chemistry student learns, H atoms, which are formed when water is subjected to electrolysis, are so reactive that they immediately combine with each other to re-form H2, so it is impossible to achieve a detectable concentration of H atoms in a liquid medium such as water. The general idea is apparently to provide a way of fighting those "free radicals" that everyone is so worried about (and which your body deals with very well on its own.)

An especially egregious promotion (now thankfully gone) claimed that

"by drinking Hydrogen-Rich water, which is generated by our Active Hydrogen Water Generator, it is said by doctors that it can result in curing, improving and preventing the following diseases:
Diabetes, ED (Erectile Dysfunction), HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), heart disease, arthritis, cancer, abnormal gastrointestinal fermentation, dehydration, chronic diarrhea, migraines, indigestion, high blood pressure, obesity, osteoporosis and psoriasis."

Hyashi's water schtick

This site offers a device called a HydrogenRich Water Stick that purports to add hydrogen to water. There is no indication of how it works, but there is an abundance of blather about its supposed benefits:

"Hydrates up to 6 times ore than hydrogen-poor water – Lubricates joints and muscles – keeps our minds alert – helps the body absorb nutrients – studies have shown that drinking 5 glasses of Hydrogen Rich Water a day can decrease the risk of colon cancer, bladder cancer and breast cancer"

No evidence for any of these fantastic claims is offered. The site does refer to several Japanese-authored research articles in which hydrogen-perfused water has been shown to have certain antioxidant properties, but in all cases the hydrogen was from another source.

Active-hydrogen generator

The above facts did not prevent one outfit from flogging an "active hydrogen water generator" that purported to produce a "hydrogen-rich water" which is supposed to enrich water with both ordinary H2 and "atomic" H (untrue!), producing a product claimed to be similar to "ionized alkaline water" except better. They tout it as a treatment for everything from Diabetes, osteoporosis and heart disease to Erectile Dysfunction– and say that it also diminishes "the digusting odor of fæces"! But another company does even better by (falsely) claiming that their dietary supplement product creates both "life-giving nascent oxygen and body-building nascent hydrogen". which they claim can cure such ills as arthritis, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, and erectile disfunction; as an added bonus they promise that "offensive odor of fæces will diminish markedly"— will wonders never cease. Unfortunately, there are all to many science-ignorant consumers who are actually likely to believe these lies.

More fibbing about hydrogen :

The purpose of hydrogen is to give structure to the body. What do you get when you bubble hydrogen through vegetable oil? You get margarine! Now, imagine hydrogen without oxygen. Your cells could become like margarine. (link)

You may remember that it is the smallest Critical Element and is capable of passing through the cell wall. In order for our cells to function they must communicate with each other through electrons but electrons can not move in the body without hydrogen. Cells must have oxygen but oxygen does not work without hydrogen. Cells cannot multiply or grow without hydrogen. The very fabric of our being, our DNA, is held together by Hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen is literally the fuel of life. (link)

When we are born we have plenty of Hydrogen but as we age our Hydrogen pool becomes depleted. When this occurs, free radicals steel it from essential areas thus accelerating aging and disease. (link)

Why settle for H2O when you can drink H4O?

As I see it, this small grain of scientific fact has been expanded into fully-fledged water-quackery pseudoscience by a Japan-based outfit that flogs something called "H4O Hydrogen-Bonded Water". This is apparently just water (H2O, which of course is always "hydrogen bonded"), to which molecular hydrogen (H2) has been added. Because H2 is practically insoluble in water, they bottle it under high pressure (very much as with ordinary carbonated water), but even then, the actual quantity of H2 in the water is minute, of the order of 10–6 mol/L— which hardly sounds like "reperfusion therapy" to me! Once the pressure is released and the water reaches the warm interior of your stomach, most of the H2 gas will bubble out of the water, making for an expensive (and potentially explosive!) burp. Although it is likely that a small amount of H2 can diffuse into the bloodstream, there is no reason to believe that it can have any significant beneficial effects.

The H4O product is touted as being a powerful reducing agent, despite the lack of evidence that ingestion of exogenous reducing agents has any beneficial health effects. One of their Web pages makes the following unbelievable claim:

From our studies, "H4O Hydrogen-Bonded Water" is able to control ingurgitation capability of macrophage that is etiology of diabetes, renal insufficiency and skin disorders. At the same time, our result of researchs showed that hydrogen has great
potential to prevents brain infarction and cancer.

In keeping with the alkaline-water craze, they say that the pH of the product is 7.7. This means that the water must contain something else in addition to hydrogen (almost certainly a metallic ion of some kind), but they don't say what this might be.

Hydride ions

Those quys peddling "hydrogen" as a free-radical fighter are pikers compared to outfits offering the far more powerful "negative hydrogen ions". Anyone who has passed high school chemistry should know that the hydride ion Hdecomposes in water to form what amounts to lye — which, if ingested, would likely dissolve your esophagus!

But not to worry; this genius guy has claimed (without any convincing evidence) to render these hydride ions harmless by "stabilizing" them in the form of an antioxidant dietary supplement. More recently, another vendor, oiffering something called HydroZen has jumped on the bandwagon, claiming that thir "negative hydrogen ions" are hidden away within coral calcium structures — thus giving you two absurdities for the price of one!

…and deuterium too!

In my humble opinion, there are few health-quackery Web sites that contain a higher proportion of false and deceptive statements than those promoting this classic snake-oil:

(Our product) super-energized complex concentrate of 78 trace minerals, 34 enzymes, 17 amino acids, electrolytes and dissolved oxygen held in a negatively-charged suspension utilizing deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen. {It) creates this life-giving nascent oxygen and bodybuilding nascent hydrogen by dissociating or splitting- the water molecule by weakening the bonding electrons.

They also recycle the daffy "Bovis" BS about "life energy" that is discussed at the top of this page:

Scientists Simeonton, Likhovsky and Bovis estimated that the aver age human body radiates a life force frequency of 6,500 angstroms- with cancer patients radiating at 1,875 angstroms (the same measurement as for refined white bread). just one drop of Cellfood®'s powerful 'electromagnetic equation' in 6-8 ounces of water emanates 77,000 units of radiant life energy

(link)

Anyone who has taken even an elementary chemistry course will recognize this as erroneous nonsense. There are the usual unsubstantiated and ridiculous health claims ("aids clear thinking", "helps to reduce and/or eliminates menopausal hot flashes and night sweats"). The product itself is described as a

"super energized colloidal mineral concentrate. … Di-base, Di-pole Deuterium Sulfate provides an incredible oxygen source and delivery system to the body at the cellular level."

Deuterium sulfate? Deuterium is the isotope 2H (often given the symbol D) which makes up about 1 out of 10,000 of the hydrogen atoms found in nature. Although extensive research has shown that organisms are unable to survive on heavy water (D2O is well-known to thoroughly gum up most enzymatic reactions), the same sites go on about its supposed benefits, spinning a tale about an inventor/con-artist (take your pick!) Everett M. Storey (whom they falsely identify as a two-time Nobel laurate) and a ficticious Deuterium Freedom Act purportedly passed by the U.S. 99th Congress that confirms deuterium's ability to "speed up the digestive process". However, the extensive list of chemicals in CellFood does not mention deuterium, although the list does include such falsely-claimed-to-be-beneficial elements as actinium, gadolinium, neon, technetium (!) and xenon. Another sad case of selling snake-oil to the suckers.

Vibrations and vortexes

Vibrations, energy fields, and vortexes are stock-in-trade in the snake-oil business, owing probably to the fact that in the ill-defined contexts in which they typically appear, they are basically meaningless but convey enough mystery to appeal to the credulous public. Most of this stuff is pretty weird, so hold onto your hat!

Frequency-infused waters (for the frequently confused)

The idea that
 "vibrations" or "natural frequencies" of various substances or of light itself can be imposed on water might seem eminently reasonable to the science-challenged, for whom any number of goofy products based on this fiction are available.

Perhaps the dumbest of these promotions comes from The Vibrancy Path, which offers a line of "Vibrancy Essences":

"Using a highly specialized instrument and a proprietary process, distilled water is infused with the light frequency that is an energetic match of the corresponding Power. This electromagnetically charged water then carries the consciousness of that specific Power"

I would love to see their "specialized instrument"!
 The infamous Masaru Emoto can apparently accomplish the same thing merely by sticking an appropriately-worded label on a bottle of ordinary water.

"The Vibrancy Powers are frequencies in y our energy field and in your physical body. The Vibrancy Essences are remedies which use the same vibrational frequencies as the corresponding Powers, which is why they align you with these gifts  and traits".

Perhaps they should offer a "Critical Thinking"nostrum to the suckers who are inclined to fall for this nonsense!


If water can be infused with "vibrations", why not with "intention"? Just say it and it is done:  H2Om Intention-Infused Water is a bottled drinking water that purports to do just this!

"Several distinctive energetic frequencies are infused in each bottle of H2Om, using words, thought, music and human interaction. Initially, the label itself provides intention. Utilizing words, symbols and colors on the label. Each bottle also contains the symbol of the “Om,” a primordial frequency. The words “Love” or “Perfect Health” are written on the label in many of the world’s languages. A specific color vibration has also been chosen for each bottle, which coordinates with a corresponding chakra. After the bottling process is complete H2Om LLC charges the water in the storage facility with sound and music with intent."

"A final energetic frequency is the power of thought – The consumer’s individual ability to connect to the water and literally, “Drink” the vibration inspired and supported by the words on the label. This vibration reverberates in the body and out into the world." (link)

Wellan Ring woowoo

An outfit that calls itself Wellan Synergy Incorporated is promoting a "new innovation in water treatment" that is so far outside the realm of the real world, that their completely goofy "how it works" page must be directed to the residents of some alternative la-la land universe!

"Wellan Rings work through bio-signals, which have been stored in the ring's interior."

These "bio-signals", unknown to science, which consist of
Frequency patterns from the ultra-fine range (quantum vibrations)
", have been implanted into the "base metal crystals" within the ring by means of "a laser technology".

The whole process seems to be based on a crackpot theory of chemistry which holds that atoms possess "vibrations" which interact with one another to fuse together into molecules. The Wellan Ring works by sending out-of-phase vibrations that havs been implanted within it, back into the water system that cancel out the atomic oscillations, causing the molecules of such things as "lime, rust, scale or bio-fouling matter" to break apart.

Given that the Wellan Ring site did not contain any sales pitch when I encountered it in 2017, I cannot help wondering if this might be an intentional spoof — an attempt to see how many science-ignorant suckers fall for this nonsense!

Other "vibrational" crackpotery

Much of the vibrational pseudoscience appears to be inspired by the work of one Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958) who appears to be something of an icon in the alternative science/pseudoscience field. Type his name into any search engine and you will come up with thousands of sites promoting such things as anti-gravity, orgone energy, "free energy", and similar nonsense. Some typical sites promoting this "overlooked genius": 1, 2 .

Imploded water – Vortex water

Care Free Water System's pseudoscience-filled "science" page offers a good view of this nonsense.

An outfit that calls itself the Centre for Implosion Research is a veritable supermarket of vortex-related pseudoscience junk.

The Original Vortex Energizer (d. 2005) offered a wide range of far-out water-weirdness. An older version of their page (which features a huge collection of goofy products such as the Orgone Blood Zapper and the "super-ionized" water described above) tells us that their Vortex Water Energiser

"acts as a cosmic antenna and amplifier which takes its energy directly from the Quantum Sea of Energy or Ether, a subtle form of energy which is all around us. This means that no electrical power supply is required. Just placing the (the device) beside ordinary 'lifeless' water will cause it to become charged and healthy once again. Direct contact with water is not necessary as the energy is transferred by way of vibration."

Think of it! You simply physically attach this sealed copper-tube spiral containing "highly energized water" to your water main, your radiator pipe, swimming pool inlet, or your car's cooling system, and receive all of the benefits of revitalized water, which allow your body to cope much better with the detrimental effects of pollutants, chemicals, and electromagnetic radiation. Other claimed benefits include

  • Plants watered with … energized water shows 250% increase in crop yield.
  • Plants required 50% less feeding with … energized water.
  • Vortex energized water shows substantially increased geometric structure of water molecule.
  • Placing the (device) temporarily in ponds and pools has shown an increase in oxygen and reduced bacterial growth and stagnation.

It's hard to believe that there are actually people who are credulous enough to fall for this garbage.
A "research paper" On the action of the Vortex Energizer on water sounds impressive until you note the author's admission that virtually all of the effects he describes fall within the range of error of the instruments he uses.

Although the "Vortex Energizers" mentioned above are presumably no longer available (the liks are to archived pages), you can still buy a "Vortex Water Revitalizer" from World Living Water Systems, which makes similarly asinine claims (e.g., "Revitalized water does not slosh in your stomach!"); their device consists of a tube containing a twisted spiral which they (incorrectly) describe as a "double helix DNA cycloid».

Nordic Nonsense, Alive Water

This outfit markets a "Water Revitalizer" which not only features a "double spiraling flowform creating a very powerful vortex energy field" but comes "charged up with energy". They claim that the vortex motions cause suspended bacteria and oxygen to come together so that the bacteria are killed. A more recent "AliveWater" site promotes much the same B.S. See here for my comments on some of the other goofy claims they have made.

The following three promotions combine vortex mystique with the standard water-cluster fibs. Very impressive, no doubt, to those who still believe in the tooth fairy.

Clayton's crackpot claims

Natural Action Structured Water (a.k.a. Water of Wellness) and its "inventor" Clayton Nolte shamelessly flog a line of devices that are alleged to impart "structure" to water by means of vortex-induced spin ("in both directions simultaneously"), "break(ing) up large low energy water molecule clusters into smaller high-energy clusters." The resulting water is claimed to be "free of memory" and having "balanced pH". But more importantly, it imparts "life force energy« :

"The water molecule has the power, the individual mandate to protect life, and that is to protect it from the things that are adverse to life and to generously provide the things that are good for life. And the way it does that? The things that are adverse to life are pulled to the inside of the water molecule and shielded from life itself"

That's right, science fiction fans; the individual H2O molecules, Clayton seems to have discovered, are really hollow inside (news to anyone who has passed high school chemistry!), and his  vortex magic pulls into this hollow space all the stuff that is "bad for life" (chlorine, fluoride, "toxins"), thus shielding them from your bodily fluids, your pets, or your plants and farm  crops. An even better (and more expensive) "Dynamically Enhanced" model ($250 to $1500) also "infuses biophotonic energy", producing water that"removes pesticides, heavy metals, bacteria, increases immunity", etc. etc.

You don't believe this nonsense? Here's a description of a goofy camera-like device that photographs the "electron cloud" that emerges from an electro-stimulated water drop. There's also a "lab report" that purports to verify these absurd claims.

Ultimate Water nonsense

Ultimate Water Inc. claims that their so-called "Utopic Structured Water" device

"employs an innovative application and advanced understanding of the vortex phenomenon utilizing the dynamic characteristic of water itself … that works at the molecular level. This “FluidMachine” alters the molecular structure of the water, activating and retaining the healthful benefits of minerals and characteristics, while excess suspended solids, contaminants and sediment are dynamically isolated or removed."

How do they accomplish this miracle? By invoking the following complete nonsense:

"Specially tuned geometry creates an energy environment for water to structure itself. This gives water a lower surface tension and better hydrating properties. This geometric technology breaks up large low-energy water molecule clusters into smaller high energy clusters. This systematic treatment eliminates negative energy patterns (sometimes called the memory of water) and redefines the water's natural healthy energy pattern. Structured water allows us to imprint through the DNA and RNA the knowledge of its secret blue print and help one to become balanced in the universe."

Fractal Water foolishness

This outfit flogs a "water-energizing" Imploder that is supposed to markedly improve the growth of plants and the germination of seeds (with pictures to "prove" it). To explain how it works, they invoke some of the most loopy pseudoscientific gobbledeguck I have ever seen, based on something they call "Phase conjugate magnetics":

"This means that the like poles of the magnet actually attract (N to N, and S to S). The extreme focusing of the magnetic flux densities in the cone where they are aligned produces dramatic cohering of water molecular clusters. In the same way that mono-atomic materials implosively become electrically stable in smaller 'mono-atom' sizes."

If this were true, the inventor should receive the next Nobel Prize in Physics. Unfortunately, it's completely made-up bafflegab by an inventor with no apparent credentials in physical sciences— but hey, he claims a PhD from California's (apparently non-existent) "Science of Mind College".


Maret Bio-con process

The Maret Bio-Com process (d. 2005) was a compendium of crackpot water-treatment schemes whose end product is a "condensed seed water" which is added to regular drinking water. The process involves such wonders as

  • raising the pH to 8, which they misleadingly say raises the "zeta potential"
  • "coherant oxygen" or "electically-conditioned oxygen" is added to the "vortexially spinning" water.
  • exposing the water to vibrating crystals
  • a "magnetic stabilization process"

This is of course pure flapdoodle that will be taken seriously only by the most science-challenged suckers.

Stir-crazy water wands

The WaterVortex site is typical of those that appeal to science-ignorant seekers of new-age wisdom, and which flog some of the most goofy products imaginable. cette Water Stir Rod is supposed to be a quick and simple way of "restructuring" water to enable it to more efficiently "hydrate" your body. la

acts like a tuning fork for water. . The device has a special blend of minerals inside which resonate and influence the resonance of the water molecules. . Your water now has a lower specific gravity and will work to hydrate your body much more effectively than normal water.

Hard to believe? Well, they cite a "clinical study" claiming that it can produce a "23.5% increase in hydration" (as measured by several highly dubious means) , and as an added bonus, a 9.4% increase in "oxygen saturation". And they invoke the "theories" of the noted (notorious?) wizards Emoto and Schauberger. But don't expect any of this to appear in a reputable scientific journal!

Stir your own snake oil!

Along similar lines, the StirWand is claimed to restore "the natural balance and energy of water" (whatever that is supposed to mean), transforming it into an elixir that improves hydration and delivery of oxygen to your cells, while getting rid of "cellular toxins" (whatever they are). They claim a 28.5% increase in hydration and 10.25% in blood oxygen, similar to that advertised for the Water Stir Rod described immediately above. The "Human Clinical Trials Documents" offered by the company are in my opinion scientifically suspect and are unlikely to meet the standards forpublication in the reputable clinical literature. (For example, the "study" on toxin removals employs a goofy "Optimal Wellness Test" that fudges what they mean by "toxins".)

The company's name "Quantum Age Water" should be a warning that this stuff is aimed at science-challenged consumers!

Aqua-lies

Natural Water Actovation Technology pflogs devices utilizing "a duplication of vortexes and natural frequencies" so that your tap water

is quickly reminded, at a basic level,of its true nature. The water then, begins to restore, to itself, its own native abilities.In short, (this) Technology sets up a communication with the water and the water, in turn, responds to that communication.As our bodies are comprised primarily of water, it stands to reason that this communication occurs within our physical structures as well. Water which is low in energy will always struggle to regain its vitality. This is why, after taking a bath or shower in low energy water, we often feel tired and depleted as the water in which we bathe seeks to correct itself. The water has, in essence, used the body's positive energy to restore and restructure itself.

While this kind of garbage is readily gobbled up by the eager-to-believe-anything alternative health nuts, the manufacturer also recommends their devices for agricultural and industrial uses, listing a large number of unbelievable benefits such as scale control, enhancing plant growth and biomass accumulation (although they curiously claim that it inhibits algae growth!), breaking down solid wastes, etc. etc. etc. Those who know some chemistry will be surprised/amused to learn that the treated water "boils at a lower temperature and freezes at a higher temperature».

Mineral-less mineral water

Instead of loading up the water with minerals (which are, after all, "chemicals"!), this outfit claims to simply add the "vibrations" corresponding to these elements to the water. Scams like this keep popping up just as quickly as the FDA shuts them down.

(This Anti Aging water) was created from the discoveries of quantum physics. Made with a Laser, this water is unlike any kind of water that has been offered before. It contains all 34 mineral wave forms in their correct (non-metallic) states as needed by the body to repair and sustain itself. … Since it works on the principle of wave-forms (energy), it leaves behind no toxic metallic residue in the body. You get all of the benefits and none of the drawbacks of mineral supplements.

Tri-Vortex crackpot biophysics

"Now you can wear your vitamins, minerals and nutrients rather than take them orally", or so claims this site that flogs special nutrient-containing bracelets and "amulets" that magically transmit their essences directly into your cells by means of fictional particles of light. It's all done with Tri-Vibes which are packets of various dietary supplements that have purportedly been passed through something called a "Tri-Vortex Chamber". This treatment, it is claimed,

transmits all of the light particles in the treated vitamins, minerals and nutrients. The sealed stainless steel Tri-Vibes are applied to the body in various ways. The most effective manner of applying the Tri-Vibes is by placing one stainless steel band on the left wrist area and one stainless steel band on the right ankle area. … The light particles emitted by the Tri-Vibes are guided and distributed throughout the electromagnetic fields of your body. Any cell in your body can absorb the light particles emitted from the Tri-Vibes that are held by the liquids in your body or being guided and distributed by the electromagnetic fields of your body.

A bizarre interpretation of a spiral form of the periodic table by one Brian David Andersen has led to the development of these and other crackpot products This same guy is the purported author of a tedious bit of nonsense on how water can be improved by this treatment.

They also cater to people who know nothing about electricity by offering an electrical device that claims to protect you from "electromagnetic pollution" by shifting the electricity in your home "from a left-hand turn to a right-hand turn."

It's sad to contemplate how many suckers fall for this pseudoscientific garbage.

The Web site of Vorsong Iceberg Energy Water wins 10's for both esthetic design and for creative fiction, but zero for scientific credibility. The following example illustrates their ability to mix new-age nonsense with cutting-edge physics to come up with 21st-century snake oil:

Water… is the Master Transducer and Transmitter as the Ancient healing modalities have long demonstrated and the present day quantum scientific inquires into water indicate. … Only encoding of the Truth through the use of Universal Structures, Universal Codes and Universal Rhythms will yield lasting results: This in essence is the Unified Field Theory from an informational or vibrational healing perspective.

And if all that quantum physics is not enough, they add Hunza humbug and Feng-shui for good measure!

Vitalized water bunk

This device claims to "ionize" the water

using a special frequency resonance technology. This powerful ionization process releases electrons from the water molecules which neutralizes impurities…without using any electric power (or) chemicals…

This is absurd; removing electrons from water requires an extremely strong (and toxic) chemical oxidizing agent. Among other patently ridiculous claims they say that it will

  • raise the pH to 7.4 – 7.6 (chemically impossible without addition of metallic ions) and prevent scale deposition.
  • strengthen plant immune systems (plants don't have immune systems!)

quelques-uns vraiment weird stuff

Light-Laughter: this hilarious site is worth a look!

The makers of "Light-Life Tools" flog an entertaining supermarket of far-out pseudoscience offering all kinds of new-age nonsense. They appear to specialize in metallic "rings" of various kinds that they suggest (without actally claiming) that they can do everything from improving TV reception to making plants grow better. In the area of water treatment they offer an Acu-Vac Coil to

remove “negative” energy from liquids and foods. Water becomes clearer and tastes better; using a Ring and a Coil together enhances the benefits of both tools, simultaneously removing “negative” and adding “positive”. Water will be ‘super’ – potentized after 12 hours in this ring configuration.

These people deserve a prize for creative bunkery that even the new-age nuts are unlikely to take seriously!

The Water Band

I thought this was a musical group, but the Vibrational Living Water Band is actually an elastic band that you snap around your glass or water bottle. According to the Vibrational Living hucksters,

"vibrational frequencies encoded in The Water Band interact with and 100% energize your drinking water so it takes on the same high energy as falling rainwater."

The $35 cost is best thought of as a tax on stupidity.

Amega Global's amazing science fiction

This outfit claims to offer a "resonance technology … applying the principles of Quantum Physics" which will be immediately seen as deceptive flapdoodle by anyone who has passed first-year physics. Their apparent aim is to recruit poorly-educated scientifically-ignorant dupes to foist their crackpot products off on equally ignorant consumers. What they pompously call their "AMized Fusion Technology" is supposed to

Neutralize negative frequencies and memories and clear the Bio-photon field distortions of substances; their AMWater System claims to restore tap water to "its original structure and to resonate zero-point energy". (link) Needless to say, they offer no evidence to support their weird claims.

Anyone who falls for this pseudoscientific poppycock is in effect paying a tax on scientific ignorance.

ORME and ORMUS alchemical quackery

"ORME" stands for "Orbitally Re-arranged Mono-atomic Elements". According to this self-described "leading authority" on "ORMUS", these snake oils all seem to be based on (completely fictional) "non-metallic forms of metallic chemical elements". There is even a junk patent covering this jiggery-pokery!  Beyond this, the details vary with the particular hucksters that flog them:

—–

It's a Miracule!

These hucksters offer "water processors" which not only remove "biological and chemical contiminates (sic)", but "further enhance the water with select scientifically documented special primary energies". Unfortunately, none of this documentation seems to be available to the public, and I consider it highly unlikely that it was done by anyone with scientific training. They claim that their proprietary process concentrates

"the Elements of Life (known variously as "Monoatomic 'Monatomic' elements, ORME -"Orbitally Rearranged Monoatomic Elements,, White Powder Gold, M-State, transition group Metal Ions), believed to be referenced in the Holy Bible and other texts as "The Hidden Manna" & "Bread of the Presence of God"; a proprietary mix of 13 scientifically documented methods of water structuring; the addition of a key nutrient Magnesium Dioxide ( MgO2 ) – a naturally occuring substance in water which scientists in Australia have discovered has the potential to prolong life 4 to 5 times beyond the normal span."

This particular version of ORME apparently involves a weird "monatomic" form of gold linked to a deuterium (H2) atom, with a bit of Biblical hoogy-moogy thrown in for good measure.

—–

ORMUS resets your vibrations (while emptying your wallet)

This cleverly-contrived promotion should win a prize as a model of how to market a nonsensical product to those who live in la-la land. According to the the "alchemist" and "metaphysician" behind this "Elixir of Life" site, these mutant metallic elements

"exhibit strange properties. Sometimes they disappear, levitate or pass through solid objects."

This particular outfit offers you two products to chose from:

Self-Regeneration Ormus for Healing and Alignment is "principally dedicated to resetting the vibration of your self (and) your soul".  It is billed as "The Ormus of Happiness", offering "The Highest Vibrational Uplift and Soul Evolution." In order to guarantee this result, the proprietor-alchemist only whips up batches of this stuff by the light of the" Airies Full Moon".

For customers having more immediate practical needs, the Mother of Abundance Ormus "has a specific 'Abundance' and 'Money' focus":

"We get reports weekly of people who have had significant jumps in income from unexpected sources since taking Ormus."

The stuff about weird non-metallic metals aside, the products described here are actually made by treating "Pure Ocean Water" (a contradiction in terms!) with 5% sodium hydroxide, which converts some of the metallic ions to their insoluble hydroxides. Whether they bottle up the precipitate with the water they don't say — perhaps the light of the full moon makes a difference. Once it gets into your stomach, it's roughly equivalent to a dose of baking soda.

BioVitale longevitiy lies

BioVitale H2O® is another "vibrations-resetting promotion" run by some character who calls himself "Dr Martin" that offers "cutting-edge anti-aging formulas" (a phrase that should rouse suspicion in all but the most gullible inhabitants of la-la land!)

There is certainly no evidence here that this guy has ever seen the inside of a medical school!

I have seen few sites that are as full of pseudoscientific garbage as this one: virtually every paragraph on this page contains statements and claims that are scientifically absurd, just plain wrong, or without clear meaning. These strike me as the products of a fertile imagination, with likely generous borrowing from similarly louche promotions.

The basic shtick here (which anyone who has passed high school Chemistry would find laughable) can be summed up in the following three quotes from this site:

  • Today’s water is not only imprinted with the frequency and memory of diseases, it is low in oxygen, and low in electrons; two critical factors which give water it’s healing and cleansing properties.
  • changing the geometrical structure and properties of water so it will accept free electrons is the key factor. By rapid expansion and contraction of water molecules it is possible to break the extremely tight hydrogen bonds releasing the frequency and disease markers.
  • our electron enhanced water continues to purify itself. Due to the dodecahedronal crystalline structure of the water it also has the ability to store and transmit energy.

Illustrative of this promoter's low opinion of the intelligence of its customers, is the statment (on another page) that they offer "an unconditional 90-day guarantee", but one should wait "at least 90 days" before judging the effectiveness of the product! DUHH…

Bottom line: Don't believe anything you read on this dreadful site!

Twilight America Star Chamber Receiver

Star Chamber ReceiverThink of it; for only $75 you can buy this nutty device (apparently a pile of crystal-filled ceramic pieces) that not only energizes your bath water, but

is like an antenna that pulls the Life Force energy in and transmits this energy to all water filled bodies nearby – that includes you and your pets. Placed in your home, the Receiver will pull in Life Force and fill your space, turning it into an island of Love and Peace that envelops your living environment and perhaps that of your neighbors. It will also protect you and your family from the negative energies of our environment…it resonates with the planetary energies on a subspace channel, using the energy that animates all life.

The outfit that flogs this crap is a mini-supermarket of similar products for science-challenged consumers.

DNA delusions

Everyone nowadays is looking for "makeovers", so here come the hucksters offering to unleash your hidden potentials by magically updating your DNA— just as easy as updating your computer- or iPod software.

One product which claims to accomplish this kind of miracle has been around for some time; it is described on my "structured water" page.

A more recent product is Neocode, "the software console to your metamind", actually uses software (so they claim) that provides "direct access to your DNA through the vastness of your subconscious mind". Their "how it works" page is a melange of quantum mechanics-for-new-age-nuts that will be immediately recognized as garbage by anyone who has actually studied the subject.

Universal harmony

..is what this outfit offers to those who are sufficiently credulous to fall for crystal- and pyramid power, chakras, and similar new-age nonsense:

As science has now confirmed, our DNA is composed of light (energy) and emits this light (photons/biophotons) which contains instructions on how the cell should behave and replicate. Thus, the biological cell receives information from our DNA in the form of light/energy via the cells internal watery environment, simply because water stores and shares information. And water stores and shares information from ALL energy sources, man-made or natural.

The device they sell is quite easy to use:

…place one Harmoniser over the heart area with the crystal on top of it and the other Harmoniser over the navel area with the crystal on top of it. This allows an individual with no 'healing' experience to simply and easily cleanse, balance and strengthen their chakras and various energy fields of their body – from cellular level outwards, encompassing the whole biophysical/auric field.

Nano Nonsense: Bio Disk

Another weird product aimed at science-ignorant new-agers, this is a clear glass disk that is supposed to create "energized water", enhance the taste of food, helps to improve sleep, reduces stress levels, etc. etc. (What? It doesn't reverse aging or cure E.D.? What pikers!) It works by

Transferring the "Nano Energising Frequency" (sic) into or through liquid affects the nanos within the liquid. When the mineral nanos come into contact with their specific frequency they behave completely differently from the host atom. … This natural resonance has the ability to create a molecular structure in all manufactured or treated liquid and vegetation.

In case that is not clear to everyone, these hucksters go on to say that

"The Bio Disk energy spins into the liquid, counter clockwise… The resonance generated is similar to that which is found in the earth surrounding many healing spring waters…

Does this sound familiar? It's the same kind of nonsense that is hawked on the structured water scam sites. (5/07)

This outfit mixes new-age "spirituality", pseudoscience, and plain weird goofiness to provide a variety of products for the same kind of suckers who are taken in by Masuro Emoto-style water wonders. Lifeforce energy, biophotons, water energisers, chakra balancing, space clearing, microwave protection, stabilized oxygen, "vitamin B17" (apricot pits; remember laetrile?) — "if there's anything anyone lacks, it's available there in sacks", as Gilbert & Sullivan put it when describing the magic shop in Ruddigore!

Prill poppycock

… And then there is a dumb product called "Prill Beads" that seem to a form of magnesium oxide that has somehow been "infused with Life Force." On being placed in water, they "have a natural affinity to anything unnatural. This is why they help rid the body of heavy metals, toxins and dead proteins." Water that is treated this way is claimed to have smaller molecules (for better absorption by the body) and is restored to the state found in amniotic fluid and "primordial dew". How do they make this magical stuff? By magic, of course! Their device

…can be pictured as a configuration of the Force of Love. An outer ring containing more than 120,000 pounds of the Crystal form of Love … and an inner ring where the force is stored. … Anything placed in this space, simply becomes magical."

What could be easier? The site, containing some of the silliest nonsense we have seen, also claims that your treated used bath water will help restore the aquatic environment after it disappears down the drain!

Ascension Alchemy's Chrysalis 8 promotion combines all kinds of nutty alternative technologies into a weird melange that defies description, so I will just quote:

The  glass vessel containing the imploding water vortex lies in the midst of a large crystal grid, the angles of the relationship between the crystals as well as the type and resonance-quality of import for creating natural scalar, or standing waves. The equipment with the glass vessel containing the imploding  water vortex is surrounded by a Tesla coil: actually two coils intertwined as one (Tesla technology does not produce harmful EMF or any form of electronic polution).   At this point the water can be permanently restructured within a standing  (or scalar) wave; permanently is the key here, most structured water will revert back to it's disorganized state (the hydrogen bonds begin to break between the crystal like structures; liquid entropy.) The key is the point where the effecting change is implemented to permanently restructure the hydrogen bonds.

ils VitaTech 14-stage Triple Water Purifier starts out reasonably enough, but then invokes weird quantum pseudoscience, "memory erasing and molecule coherence", mineral- and far-infrared-enhanced "reprograming", and finally Coral Calcium to appeal to the new-age science-ignorant crowd. All brought to you by a self-styled "certified Bau-Biologist". (2/2010)

"Designed and made by Buddhist monks…"

This rather attractive "Water Resonator" device combines magnets, crystals, and copper coils "to generate a high power pulsing effect which in turn causes a profoundly positive and beneficial effect on water and other liquid beverages. To heighten the effect, it comes with a CD of Buddhist chants.

Magnetic cups

Magnetic cups are among those products a listed by the FDA as "Fraudulent and Deceptive Medical Devices" subject to automatic detention on import, but this has done little to reduce the availability of these items to the credulous multitudes.

"By holding purified water, fresh juice or herbal teas in the Magnetic Energy Cup for 5 minutes or more, your liquids become restructured, 'living' and charged with energy. The magnets in the Magnetic Energy Cup can change the actual structure of liquids, increase the negative ions (good ions), make the liquids more alkaline and increase the amount of oxygen available for your cells. Another measured benefit of magnetized water is that its surface tension is lowered, which makes the water absorbmuch easier through the human membranes. What actually happens is that water gains 'living' liquid energy!"

EMF-Bioshield Protection System

This is undoubtedly one of the dumbest scams I have ever come across; it's hard to believe any but the most credulous suckers would fall for a device that purports to protect TV-watchers and CRT-users from electromagnetic radiation by means of a couple of magical thingees that you stick on the front frame of the viewing screen.

Its protective action is based on the A_NOX® (“Avoid (VDT) NOXiousness”) technology, which uses the resonance properties of rare earths elements (elements 58 to 71 of Mendeleyev's Periodic Table of the Elements) to create a passive counter-phase resonance. Triggered by the electron beams the VDT uses to refresh its images (at a rate of 60 to 75 times a second) in a linear fashion (starting in the upper left screen corner and ending in the lower right corner), the content of the mini-bulbs creates an electromagnetic barrier around the protected screen. EMF-Bioshield® thus eliminates the harmful biological effects of residual radiation emitted by computer and TV sets cathode ray tubes. link

Tachyon tackyness

The hucksters that flog "Tachyonized" "superconductor" water say that this

fluid of life energizes the Subtle Organizing Energy Fields (SOEF), transforming your body into a superconductor of life-force energy, dramatically increasing energy, endurance, balance and harmony within your whole being.

Well, if you are into subtle-energy hocus-pocus, it might be worth a try, as far as I am concerned, the $8.50 they charge for a 2-oz bottle of the WunderWasser is just a tax on stupidity.

Keith McCall's Water Stupidity page has a lot of good stuff on structure-altered water, as well as on Benveniste's "water memory" experiments relating to homeopathy. He also favors us with some choice irate letters from True Believers, along with his responses.

Martin Chaplin's Water Structure and Properties site is a scientifically sound, well laid-out collection of articles on water and its structure which I highly recommend. One of these pages has some interesting information and links relating to water clusters, "polywater", and CACA.

A fair number of water-quackery schemes are based on the widely popular (and totally unsupported by clinical evidence) form of pseudoscience known as homeopathy: NCAHF paper. The idea that water can retain any kind of "memory" (as Benveniste suggested) is not supported by much evidence, although a recent carefully-done study does raise this intriguing possibility.

For science teachers: see Using pseudoscience as a teaching aid for some interesting ways to make use of pseudoscience sites, and some chemistry-related examples.

The truth about human aging – In an attempt to counter the widespread commercial hype and lies regarding anti-aging products, 51 leading scientists in the field of aging research collaborated on a position paper that sets out the current state of the science.

Some goofy writings on water: Biomagnetism and water (Y. Ohno and H. Reminick), Structured water as an alternative medicine (J. Bender), The Power of Water (J. Manning), Water: Essential to Existence (D. Stewart and D. Routledge).

"The Message from Water" is a book by Masaru Emoto containing photos of ice crystals from waters which have been exposed to

music, words spoken, words typed and taped to the glass containers, photographs and long-distance thought messages. Some of the photographs are amazing and all of them show a response from the water.

Well, many of the photos are quite nice, but the shapes of ice crystals are highly dependent on the conditions and rates of freezing, so Emoto's interpretations have no scientific validity.

Wiccan water. Water apparently plays a role in Wiccan ritual; a now-defunct site had an amusing bit about "sun water, moon water, crystal water, water rituals… Call forth the Magick of the Spirit of Water to fill your home. May the Water that flows through you bring blessings to this family." … which brings us to

Urine Therapy – another form of magical water quackery; a typical site is Shirley's Wellness Cafe (I don't think I will be dining there soon!) At this now-unavailable jesus-diet.com site presided over by a "Naturopathic Urine Therapist (the initials say it all!) we were informed that "Jesus drank urine." (Ah, sweet breath!).

Water as a hazardous substance: Ban DHMO

Les anciennes coutumes néolithiques ont gravé des photos des éléments de la nature sur des boules de pierre un millier d’années avant qu’elles ne soient renommées sous le nom de robustes platoniques. Les philosophes et les mathématiciens grecs ont analysé l’idée des formes primaires. Certains attribuent leurs sources à Pythagore ( 570-495 av. J. -C. ), Empedocle ( 490-430 av. J. -C. ) ou Theaetetus ( 417-369 av. J. -C. ). Platon ( 424-347 av. J. -C. ), un étudiant de Socrate, en a beaucoup parlé dans son dialogue avec Timée. Il les a décrits comme les éléments constitutifs de la vie représentés par les quatre composants que sont la terre, l’eau, le feu et l’air. Aristote a identifié un cinquième élément qu’il a nommé Aether. Euclide ( 323-283 av. J. -C. ) les réunit, les nomme les Solides de Platon et leur donne des descriptions mathématiques ciblées dans son bouqin Elements. Ce vaste corpus de connaissances est passé quasiment sous terre jusqu’à ce que Johannes Kepler ( 1571-1630 ), un astronome allemand, considère la sphère comme un container pour chacun des cinq robustes de Platon. Il a aussi essayé de lier les robustes aux six planètes connues de Mercure, Vénus, Terre, Mars, Jupiter et Saturne. En forme euclidienne, un solide de Platon est défini comme un polyèdre fréquent et convexe, dont les faces sont des polygones réguliers et congruents, avec le même volume de faces se rencontrant à chaque plus haut qui s’inscrivent dans une sphère. Empedocle voyait la passion comme le pouvoir qui attire ces formes ensemble mais la lutte les sépare. Les éléments ont inspiré l’art, la méthode et la gestion de l’élégance de notre univers. n
