Fair enough -- let's get away from the circle of jerks then. Since you choose to appeal to authority and personalities rather than qualifications, I think I will do both. How are the following individuals and their backgrounds. Do they meet with your approval? Is it fair not to consider them jerks?
American Technologies Group
Lawrence J. Brady serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Brady served as Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Trade Administration in the Reagan Administration. He served in senior staff roles in the Nixon and Ford White Houses. He has represented the United States in trade negotiations in Europe, Japan, and China. He served 12 years in staff positions in the U.S. Senate.
Hugo Pomrehn was President and Chief Operating Officer of ATG until February, 1997, and now serves as Executive Vice President of Special Projects. He was Under Secretary of Energy in the first Bush Administration where he was the third ranking official at the U.S. Department of Energy. He was also Vice President and Manager of the L.A. Office of Bechtel Corporation.
Shui-Yin Lo, PhD. serves of the Director of Research. He is presently a visiting professor at California Institute of Tech nology, and has previously taught at Stanford University, Oxford University, and Berlin University. He has published over 100 papers in peer-review scientific journals, including Physical Review Letters, Physical Review, and Nuclear Physics. He received his doctoral degree in physics at the University of Chicago (1966).
Benjamin Bonavida, PhD has served as professor in the department of microbiology and immunology at UCLA since 1983. He served as interim chair of this department in 1996 and 1997. He has published over 300 papers in peer-review scientific journals, in cluding most of the leading journals in cancer research.
Selim M. Senkan, PhD. has served as the chairman of the department of chemical engineering at UCLA since 1995. He received his doctoral degree at MIT.
List of Board of Directors (in addition to Lawrence Brady and Shui-Yin Lo):
Alfred H. Kingon was the former U.S. Ambassador to the European Union and served in the Reagan Administration as Assistant to the President and Secretary of the Cabinet. He previously was editor of Saturday Review, Financial World, and Money & Credit. Today, he is the principal of Kingon International, an international investment firm.
William E. Odom served as Director of the National Security
Agency from 1985 to 1988. From 1977 to 1981, he served in the White House as Military Assistant to President Carter's Assistant for National Security Affairs, Zbigniew Brzezinski. He is now the director of National Security Studies at the Hudson Institute and is an adjunct professor at Yale.

Now that we have qualified the above persons as non-jerks, let's see what they have come up with (from a free to use public press
release):
A group of California scientists at the American Technologies Group have discovered, identified, and characterized a unique type of stable (non-melting) ice crystals that maintain an electrical field. These nanometer sized, rod-shaped water clusters are created when a substance is placed in distilled water, then vigorously shaken or stirred, and then repeatedly diluted and shaken or stirred.
Shui-Yin Lo, PhD, a senior researcher at American Technologies Group and a visiting professor at the California Institute of Technology, notes, "These water clusters or ice crystals remain stable at high temperatures, and what's intriguing is that the ice crystals still exist with varying fluctuation after repeated dilutions."
The new research by Dr. Lo and the various other scientists who have confirmed it seems to verify the experiences of two centuries of homeopathic physicians. Dr. Lo notes, "There seems to be something unique in water that undergoes extreme dilution, and we now have the laboratory evidence and even the photographic evidence to verify it."
Dr. Lo acknowledges the links between his work and that of homeopathic medicine, but he also asserts, "Thus far, we have only systematically tested substances which have been diluted one to ten 13 times. Homeopathic doctors sometimes use medicines which are diluted one to ten 30, 200, 1,000, or more times, and we have not tested these extreme dilutions yet. However, I would not be surprised if IE crystals are also observed in these doses. Based on our research to date, every dilution beyond the sixth has found IE crystals in them."
When following the traditional homeopathic pharmacological method to diluting and shaking solutions, the American Technology scientists found that approximately 0.1-0.2% of the solution contained IE crystals. These scientists, however, have discovered methods to increase this to 10%.
Dr. Lo concludes, "The homeopaths were definitely onto something, but our discovery of IE crystals may help their medicines become even more powerfulful, and these IE crystals will also probably have significant industrial applications, energy transfer benefits, cleansing uses, and ecological protection."
Dr. Lo's work with IE crystals was initially inspired by earlier research in homeopathy, and his first experiments in using microdoses of substances were derived from the homeopathic pharmacological process of sequential diluting and shaking
substances in distilled water.
