“Just putting OXYGEN into water does NOTHING (unless you are a fish)… the molecules must first be extended USING A PATENTED METHOD OF EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION OF THE WATER MOLECULES SEVERAL TIMES/MINUTE TO CONSUME OXYGEN, WHILE TAKING ON DONOR ELECTRONS! Our patented method EXPANDS TODAY’S WATER MOLECULES… so they can take on more donor electrons! It’s logical that most products are activated by the ELECTRONS in WATER, since YOU are 75% water (blood is 94%) it’s these ELECTRONS that make a product work!”

You too can get a $1,700 still to do this marvelous mumbo-jumbo at:

Just how much can one little still do?

Don’t forget the accessory pack to let you use yesterday’s leftover water molecules.

😕 Do plants make ice cubes in the rain, or do they make ice cubes when it’s not raining?

What a charlatan!

If I use his device to remove the “WATER MEMORY!!!” of the “PATHOGENS!!!”, how can I expect to get any homeopathic benefit from my water?

Truly, an iconoclast among crackpots.

I don’t know . . . I think that [Time Cube](http://www.timecube.com/) is up there, at least at a neck-and-neck run to the finishing line.

Is it sad that I’m jealous? I don’t think that if I tried, I mean really put my heart and soul into, I could come up with BS as creative as this. Some people get all the talent… ☹

**spingears** , I hope you don’t mind, I passed your link to **TubaDiva** to submit to Weird Earl’s  
I linked to this thread and gave you credit (or blame, after all, we are supposed to stamp out ignorance, not just laugh at it. 😃 )

Well, I’m a fully licensed doctor\* in Water Therapy, and I approve this device. In fact, for only 4000 dollars, you can buy it from me instead!

\*According to myself.

That’s quite the most effervescent site I’ve ever read. I picture a guy typing at his computer, barely able to keep his buttocks on the chair with giddy delight at describing his wonderful product!

My favourite testimonials from users are

> [@R.G. Mariposa](#):
>
> A problem I had for 12 months stopped immediately!

and

> [@Dr. G. A. Torrance](#):
>
> My test revealed properties so amazing, I am using it for proprietary medical use!

Glee! Just test it in… some way or another! And that thing you have now where you’re all “Oh, no, need to get the stuff for my thing”? _ **Totally. Gone.** _

Holy crap! That _is_ some incredible water! Anybody want to take a guess as to which university was grown?

Yea, the testimonials crack me up. Along the lines of “Something bad was happening, and then it stopped!” “I got stuff better with this stuff!”

“I lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks and so did my wife …” signed Brian and his wife Brian, no doubt.

My bolding.

Back in my day water molecules were robust strapping things, not like the feeble little water molecules you see today, too lazy to get jobs and support their electrons. I blame the communists. And MTV.
