Is it April Fool's Day?

J

I don't know - just looking at Google News. "Healing water" -http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/society/health/scientists+invent+healing+water/528252

and magnets used to treat brain disorders -http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6683757.stm

and both apparantely from reputable universities. I'm more used to reading this sort of stuff on Quackwatch.com. Maybe the line between medicine and quackery is finer than I thought.

Nah they look genuine enough to me - what's misleading is the emphasis on WATER - surely it's a solution (that makes a big difference!). Mind you, the woman-being-treated picture looks a bit dodgy.

Maybe it's a kind of oxidative burst in reverse. Still a bit suspicious though. Did anyone see that "air purifying lamp" on The Apprentice yesterday?

S

Oh, you actually know what they're talking about. I wasn't even considering the science. I saw someone get shocked by something - wasn't really paying attention.

J

Oh no, I don't know at all. Just guessing when they started banging on about ions.
