Interesting product I stumbled across

[jj]

No, I don't own one, nor do I have any particular intention of doing so. Check it out:

http://watershed.net/technos.htm

And a quote, in fair use:

...
with a NEGATIVE ORP (or charge), which retards the aging process. Put simply, a high or rising ORP causes oxidation and therefore aging ...

from http://watershed.net/why_buy_a_wi.htm

Offered without further comment.

It's awfully quiet in here.

...Ionized Water has a different molecular cluster size. It contains only five to six water molecules instead of the ten to thirteen that conventional water molecule clusters have. It has changed from an irregular shape that is 10-13 molecule to a hexagonal regular shape that is half the size. This smaller or "reduced" water is much more hydrating than conventional water.

Clustered water, again?

Yeah, well, did you check out their longetivity claims on the second page?

Warning: No coffee or other liquid in hand or mouth when you read it!

Fascinating disclaimer:

This web site is not intended as medical advice. Rather they are meant to demonstrate that aging can be slowed and even reversed and that Great Health achieved when the most fundamental nutritional needs of the human body are met. Always consult a medical doctor or other medical professional when you consider it necessary.

1) It's not medical advice? Really? It sure tries to sound like it is.
2) "They are meant"... what 'they'? The web page is plural?
3) "aging can be slowed and even reversed" - Interesting, a blatant lie in a legal disclaimer - surely that's actionable?
4) "Great Health achieved when the most fundamental nutritional needs of the human body are met" So... in order to be healthy you need to at least meet the most fundamental nutritional needs of the human body? That sounds perfectly true. You don't see many healthy people who deny themselves food and water.
5) Always consult a doctor when you consider it necessary? Who would fail to consult a doctor when they felt it was necessary?


I wonder what language the disclaimer was translated from?

Ultimate question: How much money are the proponents of this crap trying to bilk people out of?

 

[Goshawk]

How much money? All of it.



Rube: "Say, mister, how much does one a them there snake oil widgets cost?"

Snake Oil Guy: "How much you got?"

Rube: [checks wallet] "I got...two dollars and fifty cents."

Snake Oil Guy: "Well, sir, by an amazing coincidence, this marvelous widget costs just...two dollars and fifty cents!"

Or better: "Well, I'm afraid it's three dollars... but I can see you're an honest man..."

It's quite true. Depriving a person of oxidation results in a rapid and dramatic cessation of aging.

Wow, what a deal! Only $450 for this thing, and the price per item goes down if you buy more of them at the same time!

I have a special water-ionized q-tip for sale, only $12 bucks plus shipping and handling. Anyone want to buy one?
