		<description>Particularly like the sound of the Angel Tuners set which apparently opens your sould to &quot;the angelic kingdom&quot; and all for $47.

I wanted to check how much this was compared with musical tuning forks, but google has been so over-run with magic ones that I gave up.</description>

		<description>I thought Ray was joking about the tuning fork therapy. I checked. He wasn&#039;t. Western civilisation is doomed. I think we&#039;d all better start learning Mandarin. Whatever you might say about the Chinese government, they seem refreshingly unwilling to put up with this sort of crap.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The bit about tuning forks is actually true. If you fail to even touch a tuning fork, causing it not to move at all, then another tuning fork, no matter how far away, will vibrate at exactly the same frequency as the first, without anyone even touching it. Amazing but real.&lt;/i&gt; 

Surely if distance is irrelevant all tuning forks will vibrate all the time?</description>

		<description>Dear Ben, 

I have recently returned from Australia and Japan and been made aware of your reference to me in your columns. 
Feedback on anything I have written is always welcome and I will gladly respond to the comments made by yourself and Ray about my text shortly. 
However I am rather shocked by your attacks on me personally where you have questioned everything from my credentials to my ethics. My thanks to commentators Bryan Kitts and Adam Bernard, whoever you are, for giving me the benefit of the doubt for I did indeed obtain my Masters degree in Clinical Psychology from Liverpool University Medical School, Sub-dept of Clinical Psychology in 1981. I have also continued academic and professional training in various subjects ever since and, believe it or not, actually share your passion for good science! 
I would be grateful if you would post this comment on your site immediately in order to at least correct your misinformation that I am a â€˜fakeâ€™ and meanwhile I have a fuller reply to you which will be sent to you via the BBC.

Yours courteously,

Islington..hmm...wonder whether Cherie&#039;s got a hold over their Trading Stadnards officers...nah, that&#039;s just paranoia.</description>

		<description>This bunch have a London telephone number, so are under UK jursidiction. I&#039;d think that theeir loca Trading Standards office culd be asked to take a look at those claims: 

&quot;Ice stays frozen for longer.&quot;
&quot;Bacteria cannot survive in oxygenated water and are eradicated&quot;

They are very specific and are probably easily refutable with a minimum of testing.</description>

		<description>Oh, my.  Just read some benefits of &#039;energised&#039; water:

Food will taste fresher and texture and flavour will also improve. 
Flowers will remain fresher for longer. 
Ice stays frozen for longer. 
Coffee and tea improve in taste. 
Bacteria cannot survive in oxygenated water and are eradicated. 
Water&#039;s efficiency is increased, making heating and cooling quicker and saving on energy consumption. 
Lime scale is dissolved over time. 
Less detergent is needed, as the water is softer and hydrating. 
Skin dryness is reduced and our hair becomes stronger, softer and shinier. 
Energy levels increase and health improves. 
Makes water safer to drink. 

Sounds like it&#039;s a fancy water softener to me, although that doesn&#039;t explain the images of the salts.

The description of how the vortex energizer works is fantastic, as well: 
&quot;...the Vortex Energizer acts as a cosmic antenna and amplifier which takes its energy directly from the Quantum Sea of Energy or Ether...Direct contact with water is not necessary as the energy is transferred by way of vibration. This process is similar to one tuning fork picking up the vibration of another tuning fork, even if the first one has not been struck. This is also called resonance.&quot; 

OK, so even ignoring &#039;cosmic antenna&#039; and &#039;Quantum Sea of Ether&#039;, neither of which I can fairly rubbish, as I&#039;m not an expert in these fields (although I&#039;d love to meet one), what are they talking about with tuning forks?  One tuning fork picks up the vibration from another, even if the first hasn&#039;t been stuck.  Wouldn&#039;t this mean that tuning forks could never be stored within earshot of each other, as you&#039;d immediately get feedback?  If this is true, couldn&#039;t we harness this energy?  Huge arrays of tuning forks (in specially sound-proofed rooms) could replace fossil-fuel burning or nuclear power stations.  No more unsightly wind farms, no more nuclear reprocessing!  

I wonder why no-one has come up with this before.  Is it because the government is in the pay of Shell and BP, or is it because it&#039;s all total clap-trap?</description>

&#8220;&#8230;the Vortex Energizer acts as a cosmic antenna and amplifier which takes its energy directly from the Quantum Sea of Energy or Ether&#8230;Direct contact with water is not necessary as the energy is transferred by way of vibration. This process is similar to one tuning fork picking up the vibration of another tuning fork, even if the first one has not been struck. This is also called resonance.&#8221; </p>
<p>OK, so even ignoring &#8216;cosmic antenna&#8217; and &#8216;Quantum Sea of Ether&#8217;, neither of which I can fairly rubbish, as I&#8217;m not an expert in these fields (although I&#8217;d love to meet one), what are they talking about with tuning forks?  One tuning fork picks up the vibration from another, even if the first hasn&#8217;t been stuck.  Wouldn&#8217;t this mean that tuning forks could never be stored within earshot of each other, as you&#8217;d immediately get feedback?  If this is true, couldn&#8217;t we harness this energy?  Huge arrays of tuning forks (in specially sound-proofed rooms) could replace fossil-fuel burning or nuclear power stations.  No more unsightly wind farms, no more nuclear reprocessing!  </p>
<p>I wonder why no-one has come up with this before.  Is it because the government is in the pay of Shell and BP, or is it because it&#8217;s all total clap-trap?</p>

		<description>I&#039;m certain that the &quot;male structure&quot; shown is nothing to do with micro cluster structure of water: it&#039;s some kind of crystal. There&#039;s more about the purported observation &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://www.envirohealthtech.com/vortex_energizer.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, which tracks it to the work of a &quot;Professor David Schweitzer&quot;. &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:mHrXkOcz-yIJ:www.leylijnen.com/HTMLobj-722/EnergyEarthgate3.pdf+%22Professor+David+Schweitzer%22+%22water+memory%22&amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;THis paper&lt;/a&gt; mentions something of his technique, which appears to involve letting water drops dry up a bit before photography. So I&#039;d guess the images show dissolved salts evaporating out.</description>

		<description>Intrigued by the concept of &quot;Implosion&quot;, I  found this &quot;tap water has been passed through biological and industrial cycles many times wherever we live or travel to, and in so doing has been reduced to a simple chemical compound - H20, rather than the energising elixir of life that it really should be.&quot; at this site:  http://www.vorticaldynamics.com/welcome.html

My question to those who post here and know more about this sort of thing then me: what do the two pictures on the left of this page actually depict? They purport to be pictures of
1. &quot; Ordinary London tap water with no cluster structure and very small amounts of Biophoton emissions.&quot; and
2. &quot;London tap water (at the same magnification) after energisation with the Vortex Energiser showing increased structure and more vibrant biophoton emissions&quot;</description>
