Snake oil

[madshaman]

Saw this eBay auction and thought of you all:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bike-EMF-Shield-/251236135696

Are you freaking kidding!  It's on sale for only $31 !!!  Tell me you're not going to let your family go unprotected for such a low price.

I checked into volume pricing, and sure enough, they do offer volume discounts! Here's their response:

"Thank you for contacting us.  The retail price for the Bike EMF
Shield is $39.00  We posted it at a discounted price of $35,00 and as you
know, we  added a 10% spring discount on top of that for the last week of
March.  As a courtesty to you, we would offer an additional discount of
$1.00 off per item plus S & H for an order of 12 shields."

There's no longer any excuse to go without shielding!

Lolololololololol, is that a real response from them?  If so, total props for doing that, that's hilarious.

Well, there's nothing left to do other than organise a group buy ;-)

The snake oil's flowing freely today.  An antenna with a suspiciously wide bandwidth and noise cancellation properties.

Well, it's aptly named...

He better hope he has a patent on that, I think I can duplicate it just from looking at the parts from frames of the video.

It's name is just missing an integral symbol...

Damn you, how did you notice that and I didn't? I was a math major!

Forum members obviously need an infusion of the humour vitamin ;-)

What date is tomorrow again?

Yes, that's an actual response from them. They are offering a whopping $1 discount for volume purchase!

So who's in for the group buy? Just go ahead and send me your money, and when I get 12 orders I'll do the group buy... honest...

Gosh, it seems so straight-forward:

Crystal Catalyst ® Technology has a unique composition and structure which allows it to absorb and then rebroadcast harmful electromagnetic radiations in a cleaner form.

These cleaner frequencies are beneficial to the body. Tests shows that Crystal Catalyst® Resonators increase the body's strength and enhance whole brainwave functioning.

Damn! I already bought the bike EMF shield!

I had my Crystal Catalyst ® Bead muscle tested by my naturopath

It's not often that something on the Internet makes me literally laugh out loud. That is hilarious.

For so many years I was blind! I was trying to block EMF! I was going against cosmic energy! How wrong was I? Now, instead of trying to block EMF I harmonize to it! I can grab a 230V cable and my face harmonically lights up at 50Hz! And I also have convinced some motors I use, to harmonize with their power and realize that all good things have an end. Now they don't produce back EMF when power is removed from them! 

[mikeselectricstuff]

These people are so retarded they can't even get the occasional real fact right - apparently cosmic radiation comes from planes  :

Airplane Radiation
During a cross country flight from NY to LA you are subjected to more radiation from the plane then you are during a chest X-ray.

This website is really, really funny.

Crystal Catalyst® Technology was discovered and developed by reknowned subtle energy researcher and master dowser Robert McKusick

A master dowser, that's rich. And they clearly don't enhance spelling ability.

Crystal Catalyst® is made by firing silicone and rare earths together in a special energy field based on the fields used in Ancient Egypt to fire scarabs and other talismans.

Are you freaking kidding me? Ancient Egypt?

Robert McKusick has chosen not to patent Crystal Catalyst® Technology because he does not wish to reveal its proprietary formula and process.

Heh...

We don't recomend EMF meters as way to test the resonators . Since our products 'clean' rather than block the frequencies, the frequencies are still present but are now altered.

No... you don't get it - our painkillers don't get rid of the pain, they enhance it so you will enjoy it instead of suffering. Trust me, you're not suffering.

Will they wear out?

Nope. And they don't need recharging.

That's good, I was wondering where it plugged in.

Crystal Catalyst® Dielectric Resonators have been tested by independent third party laboratories for over 20 years.

A leading International Canadian Testing Laboratory for Clean Energy has confirmed that the resonators "are not electrical, magnetic, or radioactive, and they can not harm electrical appliances, or computer hardware or software".

The same laboratory also confirmed that the resonators are not edible.

Being electrical, the brain is severely affected by electronic pollution. That's why you feel so "brain-dead" after spending hours on your computer or talking on your cell phone.

Presented without comment.

Here is Charmion standing over a Geopathic Stress Zone. In the first pic, Charmion attempts to lift a gallon of water. She struggles and can only lift it up to her shoulder. In the second pic, a Clearfield Plate has been placed at the far end of the building. With the Clearfield Plate up, Charmion is able to life the gallon of water way above her shoulder and with ease.

 

Jesus freaking Christ these people are something else. It reads like bad satire. I half expected the "Add to Cart" link to pop up a box saying "April Fools!"

[notsob]

OH to be so happy in one's ignorance

[lemmegraphdat]

When it comes to Dowsing the thing I'm going to ask one of these guys is this: "You just found water right there. So are you telling me that there is no water just a foot away? What about over here or what about just a little over there? How about around back of the house?

Just make sure your crystal is clean first.  According to this calendar  http://www.whittleseawellness.com.au/apps/calendar/ you need to clean them on full moon night (April 25).

If you can't wait that long, there is such a thing as a 'crystal playshop' where you "Learn how to clean, look after, programme and use your crystals in many different ways for healing."

I love that the Protective Pendant protects from "EMF and negativity from others". It's like the joke about two atoms walking down the street.

(and wouldn't it be great if there *were* such a thing as "bullshit overload"?)

Over the past few years the amount of WiFi on the planet has skyrocketed.
Anything wireless emits microwave or RF radiowave frequencies. Your wireless router is no exception.

That wins the "No Shit Sherlock" award

Wait....  WAIT!!!  You mean to tell me that radio transmitters transmit radio waves!!!  wtf, I've been lied to!!!!

Here is an interesting article about a man who sold very expensive golf ball finders to the military as bomb detectors!

Does anyone know the details behind this?

This has been in the news a lot in the UK, initially when he was first arrested and then more recently during the trial.

An obvious question is how did he get away with it - why did people believe these "detectors" would ever work?

I think the key answer is bribery and corruption. He gave massive bribes to government officials in Iraq to sign the purchase contracts (at least that is what I heard on the news). They never believed that they worked, and the people (Iraqi soldiers) manning the check points were just told that these things worked by those higher up and just took it on trust.

Found this iphone charger on facebook. Snake oil or working device?

  I do think that Rife's research is promising,  <snip>

Yes, Rife's research is promising, but the problem is that almost nothing of what is today called "Rife", has any real connection to what Rife did.  Rife's name and legacy have been highjacked by quacks and charlatans for their own gain.  That ad for the zapper is just one example.  Very few people have a clear understanding of what Rife is about, and even fewer care about rigorously replicating what he did.

You might be interested to read a brief introduction to the subject that I wrote for a web site:
