Are these scalar energy pendants for real?
Posted on April 2nd, 2010 by admin
My mom came home from vacation with this scalar energy pendant and she says it helps with her arthritic had which she can now fully close that she couldn’t before.
I’ve not been able to find much on the internet apart from the fact that they are mostly made of volcanic rock. Anyone know how these things work how they affect the body?
Also, are they the same as those negative ion pendants?
A good indication of quackery and scams is the use of medical or technical jargon such as "energy", "quantum", etc. Energy is the ability to do work. In this pendant, where does the energy come from? What is the fuel that powers its healing properties? Do you see a little battery there or any other power source?
It’s just an inert piece of rock and it’s effect is mostly placebo.

Yep, they are exactly the same as negative ion pendants….a complete scam!
As the doc has just said, any effect is purely placebo and your mom is either proof of that, or its a coincidence that her arthritis isn’t so bad at the moment.
Either way, these things do not and cannot have any physical effect on the body.

Total scam
The Skeptics Guide to the Universe recently did a piece on them, and Richard Saunders of the Australian skeptics also recently did a piece on them which you can find on YouTube.
Think about it. If volcanic rock really produces negative ions…and negative ions can cure illness….shouldn’t everybody on the Big Island of Hawaii be disease free?
=======================
I notice none of the Alties are confident enough to defend the magic pendants…just to drive by and thumbsdown the skeptics. Typical.

If they actually worked, the guy who made them would have a million dollars from Randi.
Randi still has his money.
