Ok I heard a women from the makers talking about this on the radio the other day. Lots of endoresments from golfers that were made without payment. Their [site](http://emfbusters.com/) talks about > [@](#): > > The body is a complex and highly sophisticated organism. It needs constant fine-tuning in stress-filled environments. At our best we resonate with health. Almost literally, every part of our being pulses in harmony. Conversely when our resonances are disturbed or interrupted, our bodies begin to break down. We become vulnerable to a variety of ailments. Not only are we not functioning effectively, but also our defense mechanisms are in decline. Sounds like BS to me but what do I know? So is there any truth in this? Do we need to be vibrating at the right freq. to cut down on stress. Is this > [@](#): > > The QLink is a breakthrough technological marriage of Eastern and Western approaches to stress and imbalance, combining an oriental respect and understanding for the energy systems of the body with the modern science of physiology. or is it just a very more subtle version of the Alex Chiu? ---

I just love snake-oil merchants. They never fail to amaze with their imagination, pretty pictures, use of scientific and pseudo-scientific jargon just to wow the easily-concerned. I also love how this thing is supposed to make you immune to harmful electro-magnetic radiation. Priceless stuff. I’d put the QLink in the same category as copper bracelets for arthritis: if you believe enough in it, it’ll work for you. Other than that, I’d say it’s a high price to pay for a gizmo placebo. ---

Sounds like something you’d hear mentioned in an episode of Star Trek. I’m surprised they didn’t mention anything about “quantum flux”. ---

I’ve got enough problems trying to reach the keyboard when I’m Yogic flying. FWIW, I do tend to the view that we’re all moving further and further away from the natural state, or natural pace, of life as humans have almost always lived - it’s life, but not as we knew it. I don’t think I like it. ---

So this thing is your typical crystal oscillator in pendant form? ---

Sort of.

The tuning board reinforces the resonating cell to function in a specific spectrum or energy range. It harmonises and protects the functioning of the resonating cell. The amplifying coil shapes and strengthens the size of the energy field that is conducted. It extends the power of the sympathetic resonance into a 3-dimensional field. This entire process strengthens the internal power and resilience of the wearer, allowing them to more effectively filter out chaotic type energies. > > Electrical energy is not required for this resonator since it is powered by the energy of the person wearing it. Because electrical power is not applied, and because of the unique way a sympathetic resonator works, the cell, tuning board and amplifying coil do not have to be physically wired as they would with a normal Hertzian electronic circuit. …_biggle boggle boogle baggle giggle gobble oogle oggle baggle_… My head is starting to hurt now–I’m gonna go strap my Alex Chiu Eternal Life Device to my head, see if that helps… ---

If they aren’t going to connect the components together, why do they bother including electronic parts at all? Why not just fill the thing with dirt? ---

Then really cool thing is that it’s powered by the wearer. So no batteries. Score. :smack: ---

WE have a company in Ireland that sells Crystals that has the following messages on their packaging “While the Scientists argue, Electro Magnetic information is killing your Family!!” supposedly, you plug it in and it sucks all the “HARMFUL MAGNETIC ENERGY” out of your house. I always ask shop assistants why they stock these. ---

the more I read that page, the more I think this thing is as magical as those radios that run off the broadcast power (no batteries or line voltage required). Only, radios actually do something. ---

Modern life has frequently caused people to suffer ailments caused by their electro-magnetic auras experiencing a phase shift away from the natural resonant frequencies. Science has proven that this may cause one or more of the following symptoms: allergies, malaise, insomnia, restlessness, constipation, voting for the Reform Party, taking Michael Jackson seriously, and loss of money to snake oil salesmen. Luckily, there’s hope. If you send me $29.95, I will rush order you a matching set of refrigerator magn… um, a matching set of electromagnetic modulator pendants that are guranteed to cure whatever ails you or no MONEY BACK! Thats correct, if you are at all dissatisfied by the electromagnetic modualtor pendants I will send you no MONEY BACK at absolutely no cost to you. Order today.
