Alright, here’s the information: A coworker let out nonchalantly that he’s taking a natural cure for his bacterial infection, nothing very shocking about that. What I found interesting is that he said a machine that can detect all kinds of illnesses merely by connecting electrodes to the body is involved. He said he was told, and seemingly believes wholeheartedly, that this machine can diagnose cancer, snake venom in the blood, among other things. (apparently he was told that he had high levels of snake venom in his system due to eating Taco Bell meat—“…and I eat Taco Bell, whoa. How’d they know that”, said the coworker?) Now, I think that a machine merely by electrode connections, can’t diagnose much. Maybe I’m wrong. But what sent this over the top for me was that he interjected into my queries with what seemed to him to be irrefutable proof of this machine’s validity, that it operated using quantum mechanics. Of course he really didn’t know what quantum mechanics is (I hardly understand it myself). This is obviously quackery. He also mentioned something about diagnoses being reached by pushing down one’s arm and seeing how much resistance it gives. Well, for some reason this made me snap into the persona of a Scientologist. (I’ve had longstanding fantasies of becoming a cult leader.) I began telling him about another machine called the e-meter he might be interested in. I presented the litany of propaganda that is involved in this belief and I convinced him to look at some Scientology literature this coming Saturday when we work together again. I don’t know how long to carry on with this absurdity of a farce. I suppose I can make a Scientology brochure or something. But whatever… |

You should charge at least 200$ for the brochure since that's the going rate. I think I reversed the proportions of healthy vs bad bacteria in my digestive track by first taking antibiotics (a few drops of pure oregano oil) per day for 3 days, then taking probiotics (pills full of 'helpful' bacteria that make it difficult for bad bacteria to dominate again). yep. |

you are`wrong |

Well, thats the funny thing about quantum mechanics. Pretty much everything operates using it. Or vice versa. |

Oh. So there is a machine that can diagnose a wide range of illnesses via electrodes? Even cancer? |
||||||||

Yeah, but I think the way it was being implied was more from a spiritual bent. Seeing it that way then one could say a CT scan operates with Quantum Mechanics. But usually that's not one of the selling points. |

there was an article about this in some norwegian scientist journal or something.. it's a new marketing ploy to get some cred into certain things... it's mostly bullshit, and it also helps discredit proper nature medicine further, which is bad 'cause natural medicine can be an alternative in certain cases; it does indeed work (I'm talking extracts of certain herbs, not crystals, etc). |

You could offer him a rock to diagnose his problems, arguing the fact that everything works under quantum mechanics, and that the rock will not work - with or without quantum mechanics - by design. Whereas his bacterial electrode thingy is only going to work under the laws of quantum mechanics, and is going to be rendered useless when the laws of quantum mechanics are revised in the next three months or so. |

I thought the first post was going to end with the lyrics from popular TV show 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air'. Don't know if anyone here remembers that one. |
