Scammers of old used to try selling people real estate in Florida that was all swampland, miracle medical “cures” that gave you electric shocks, the Brooklyn Bridge, stock shares of oil wells and gold mines that didn’t exist, and so on.
They’ve never given up and they never died out, new generations of these swindlers keep appearing and the latest scam is “Structured Water”. Here’s a line from the sales pitch: Clearing negative memories from water so that they can be structured into beautiful crystal-like shapes via hydrogen bonding that helps ignite your body’s nascent healing potential!
Water has “negative memories” that can be “structured”? Into “beautiful crystal-like shapes”? “Via hydrogen bonding”? Oowow, oowow, where can I get me some?
I do have to say, this pile of bullshit must have really taken some thought to create, to string that bunch of words together like that. It makes me think of other words, like Sucker, Bamboozle, Dupe, Defraud, Hoodwink, Deceive.
There’s a picture on the website of an Afro-haired dude that says he’s “Dr. Henry Ealy”, who apparently is the person telling us all about this magic water on his “Energetic Health Radio” program. I don’t know if he’s actually trying to sell his magic water to the gullible or not, because I never tuned in to his program, but it wouldn’t surprise me because there’s others out there selling it as a health aid. What this is, is the new Snake Oil, the crap that was mixed with some cheap whiskey, bottled up and sold to fools by traveling pitchmen in times past.
Quack medicine and medical devices have been around for centuries because, as P.T. Barnum famously said, there’s a sucker born every minute.
