RkyMtnHigh 0 #1 March 28, 2006 Is anyone familiar with EMF (electromagnetic field) and BioPro QLink and it's claims: "Dr. Neil Cherry, a biophysicist and an elected official in New Zealand, said that studies indicate that non-ionizing radiation causes everything from cancer in lab rats to neurological changes in humans. Dr. Cherry stated that human beings are very good conductors of microwave transmitted signals. Living organisms are themselves electromagnetic instruments of great sensitivity that can support a variety of electrical vibrations; these can be interfered with by external radiation - both at microwave and very much lower (ELF) frequencies - in a number of ways, from which adverse health effects can follow. In fact, numerous studies from leading scientists have linked long-term EMF exposure to increased risks for heart disease, cancer, leukemia, brain tumor, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, depression and suicide, fatigue, asthma, and others.

RkyMtnHigh 0 #3 March 28, 2006 So, I take it that you're saying that it's a hoax? Someone at my dz swears by this product and has noticed amazing results in his stess level and when he takes the pendant off he gets headaches until he's wearing it again. I'm just curious how a piece of copper can be a field of protection for the entire body. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SAR testing has been around for quite a while too, and they have yet to find any specific maladies attributable to microwave radiation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob.dino 1 #8 March 28, 2006 That page is making two claims: That Electromagnetic Fields are intrinsically harmful to humans. That the BioPro QLink can do something about it. High-strength Electromagnetic Fields have been a cause of concern to some people for some years (power lines, etc.). I'm not current on the research being done in the field, so I'll refrain from comment, apart from to say that if you don't live directly under a high-tension powerline I doubt you've got much to worry about. The claim that the QLink can perform "EMF harmonization" is complete bollocks. What the hell is EMF harmonization supposed to be? Harmonizing with what? They even claim it'll improve my blood quality and my golf game?! For fucks sake. Just how gullible can you be... Or, as monkeycndo said, a fool and their money are soon parted.

SpeedRacer 1 #10 March 29, 2006 got me thinking. since we have a icon, shouldn't there be a bullshit icon too? Maybe a little brown turd with horns on it or something. [bullshit] It would come in real handy in That Other Forum. hey how come i got an unintended linky thing on that word? What if I write "iconoclast?"

jumpergirl 0 #11 March 29, 2006 My bosses both (a husband and wife) have a Q-Link pendant and wear it every single day. I'm not sure if they wear it when they sleep, but I wouldn't doubt it. They swear by it and just spent about $800 on pendants to give to their family members. I think if it's something you believe in, then it will work. Just as if you do not believe in it, it won't work. Just my 2 cents. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites RkyMtnHigh 0 #12 March 29, 2006 So far, I'm getting the idea you all think it's hocus pocus. However as Jumpergirl says that her boss believes in it...perhaps its a psychological thing..if you believe it works, it will. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites bob.dino 1 #13 March 29, 2006 QuoteSo far, I'm getting the idea you all think it's hocus pocus.

In the 1920's there was a "therapeutic" blanket being sold that had a layer of Uranium sewn into it between two layers of material. Supposedly the radiation from the Uranium would cure arthritis, improve the immune system, etc etc bla bla bla. same shit as this thing. But at least the BioPro thing won't increase your cancer risk by irradiating your body with gamma radiation! The quacks can continue to market their BS by stating that the medical industry doesn't want you to know about the miracle of their snake oil, because then they (medical industry) would lose $ when the snake oil cured all your diseases. Easy line to sell, & I don't see it going away anytime soon. And it effectively negates any info when independent scientists disprove their claims in controlled experiments. Obviously the scientists doing the study were paid to discredit the snake oil.
