Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Every morning as I drive to work I here a local dude talking about his quantum biofeedback machine that can detect anything wrong with you and then provide treatment for it. I immediately thought, this guy is a quack and would have been a snake oil salesman in a previous life.
Tonight I did a bit of digging and found this

Apparently a lot of people here use his system and reckon its great , but then folks thought snake oil did too. I just hate these rip off merchants
Rant finished,

This is similar to one of those machines that send an oscilating wave through your body thats supposed to kill parasites hiding in your liver and brain etc by holding 2 copper rods attached to a very simple circuit it will kill them by passing the charge through your body.
I even built one to spec...
Crap.
Nothing replaces diet and excercise.

Parasites are real tho :-)

Oddly enough I think it might have stemmed from some dude who was working with AI and quantum voodoo from the olden days. making balls move around your screen based on cache errors or something, as you move your arms around your system box.

The AI stuff is interesting at least. He made a web browser that has 2 young girls chatting. They just state facts at each other that they grab from the net. Apparently they learn as they go. You type something like "world war two" or "whale skin hubcaps" and they just start banging on a about it.

I cant remember what the quantum thing did. I'll track it down. I wouldn't mind running it again now that I have a decent net connection.

hum a tune to yourself for some waiting music for a sec..........

Keep humming

It seems the web is chock full of the words - young girl - quantum - AI - and balls. It never used to be.

I new it!

Parasites!

U-FO space aliens is my bet.

Nothing a foil hat wont fix.

while your searching for young girls and balls... search 4 meter long tapeworm rectal removal...

you wont want a foil hat anymore but you might want a bucket

I studied the first year of a natural medicine diploma, man the loose things some of the lecturers talked about.
Did you know you can assist the removal of gall stones by drinking about 400ml of olive oil and... waiting.

I wonder if you could mix scotch with the oil to ease the pain of the stones passing LOL

Quick tip - avoid anything with "quantum" in it. None of the quacks would recognise quantum theory if they fell over it. New Scientist have a regular column called Feedback where they expose this stuff.

Yeah thats what I thought. Pure snake oil

I'd also avoid drinking 400ml of olive oil If I could.

"A large glass of olive oil and some prunes thanks barkeep. And somewhere quiet to wait."

Except the tv show Quantum, it's pretty cool....
