  • We've covered water fluoridation and special waters, so let's move on to the properties of water! Did you know that the water in your body is special? It's called structured water, or hexagonal water. Or at least that's what some would have you believe so that they can sell you devices that will "structure" the water you drink and make it better for you. Also, did you know that water responds to emotions, and has memory, just like humans? No wait, that's another lie with zero substantiation. Man, people really lie a lot about water, don't they? Let's wrap up the trilogy and debunk some charlatans, shall we?

    I'm thinking of setting up a business to sell "Concentrated Water". This is made by a special process of heating ordinary water and removing the excess and unwanted steam to create a much concentrated and powerful form of water, which I call Concentrated Water (not to be confused with consecrated water).
    This new concentrated form of water is 20x smaller, 20x lighter to carry but also 20x more refreshing, and yet it only costs 10x more!

    Structured water has completely changed my life. Previously, when I was blind, I’d drink from bottles with laughably small “structures,” and was frequently dehydrated. While I’m not up to the hexagonal challenge yet, I did move from cylindrical bottles to more of a rounded square shape, which holds a lot more water. Less dehydration! Patiently waiting for the “industry” to stop keeping us down and roll out the tetrahedronal bottles.
    Immortality practically a given at that point.

The whisky that held the structured water in suspension did not create vortices of positively charged hexagons of magic however during the third or fourth glass during my younger years did start to morph people around me into much better looking people whom I loved so very much, no really, i really loved them all, seriously! 😁

      "Structured water" really is in a higher energy state at room temperature, but that just means it is inherently unstable.
      This is why ice spontaneously melts at room temperature, it is higher energy and therefore less stable than liquid water.
      The extra energy contained in the structure is dissipated as heat, as Dave said.

      @@aredclwon Ice has lower kinetic energy. You are conflating entropy with energy. As the ice melts, the atmosphere loses energy and the ice gains energy. The thing with the energy here is obviously the atmosphere itself, if the ice were floating out in space it would never melt. It's no coincidence that things like neutron stars, some of the most homogeneous things in the universe, are neatly arranged at the atomic level. It is true that things at high energy states want to fall to lower energy states, but to suggest that the thermal mass of an ice cube can will the atmosphere in any meaningful way is ridiculous

    • @RoganGunn
      @RoganGunn 2 года назад +10

      If I may, I can explain why this happens, and the answer is political, not scientific. People are ignorant of science for the most part, so are reliant on gatekeepers of knowledge for their enlightenment. In the old days, people used to read a science journalist, believe them, or hear what their doctor is telling them, and trust and believe in them too.
      These days, that trust in expertise has been so abused by those in the role of gatekeeper that it has eroded completely. (I'm looking at journalism, here, not science or medicine!) People can tell now that the media is lying to them constantly. Not about everything, but about enough to erode the audience's trust. Expert talking heads are trotted out to lend weight to whatever that particular channel's agenda is, people who are nominally scientists or doctors, thus trust in those people is broken too by proxy. People can't tell what is true, and what is wrong, or false, so this creates a knowledge _and_ a trust vacuum.
      The people watching don't know about controlled double-blind trials, peer review, or difference between a cohort study and a meta-analysis. To them science is an arcane practice by nerdy people using long words, who seem to be in cahoots with the other gatekeepers who are clearly misleading them on the regular. They don't know how to read a scientific paper, or know that if something is on a pre-print server it hasn't been peer-reviewed yet (these are often the only texts you can read in full for free).
      Add to this climate of mistrust a pandemic of dubious origin that has sent the ruling class of the world mad with power, with ever more stringent limits on our freedoms in the name of "The Science" that keeps giving contradictory answers. Don't wear masks, they don't do anything, then six months later, you must wear a mask or YOU cannot do anything! Democrats saying they'd never take any vaccine made under Trump, then when they are in power, they try to mandate that same vaccine as a condition of employment. These contradictions are rarely explained, you are just expected to comply, and are lambasted as an anti-vaxxer or conspiracy theorist if you question what's going on.
      People may be ignorant of the scientific method, and medicine, but they are not stupid. They can tell when they are being taken for a ride, but they do not have the privilege of a medical education like yourself, so of course they are going to turn to dodgy Facebook groups and stuff for their knowledge, because they don't know how to parse good information from bad the way you or I do. Now dodgy politicians are saying they _must_ be injected with something they don't understand - well, can you blame them for being reticent?
      I think experts, such as yourself, forget what ignorance is like. These people probably don't know about the last 100 years of miraculous innovations in medicine and science, we have normalcy bias for the world we find ourselves in. I'm afraid it's your job to gently educate these people, but also to understand why they believe the things they do.

It is, quite literally, teaching people to think themselves into healthier mental states without neurochemical intervention, or in conjunction with said intervention through the prescriptions of a psychiatrist. They're actually, quite literally complementary in that they complement genuine medicine rather than supplanting it. Even cognitive behavioral therapy is only different in its approach, but mechanically similar.
      As a therapist your job is literally to help people feel better by building up healthy coping mechanisms in place of unhealthy ones, and if carrying around a chunk of quartz or using carefully controlled and safe amounts of aromatherapy oils in an infuser is a step toward the patient going to bed without PTSD nightmares, it's an acceptable method. As long as you're also responsibly teaching the patient not to spend all their money with people who insist those methods will cure cancer and give them superpowers. Would you call it exploitative or dishonest for a child to be permitted to carry a security blanket or a favorite teddy bear, or to have a night-light?

      And it's ironic, because it's the opposite of homeopathic principle, where you use a substance causing headache and dilute it to remove headache. In the Benveniste and later Montagnier version you recreate the original substance, or at least their original effect, with the water memory. So if it was true homeopathy would make symptoms even worse...

    Thank you for these. The truly immoral and criminal aspect of these snake oil salesmen is that probably most of the people who fall for these things are the chronically ill or ill with a condition that can't easily be explained/treated/cured. Or that have been ridiculed and abused by MDs with horrible bedside manners, who should never be allowed to see actual patients (TBF, a minority, and at the time, they were just trying to be skeptical, because there was no literature on what I had, but jerks will go too far). It's true that going for a 1hr alt health treatment likely involves much more care, nice lighting, relaxing music, and great massage (part of the marketing they use) than a 5-15min visit to a dr. And the alt practitioners believe you, whatever you say. Of course. I know, I was once, even though reasonably educated with scientific parents, and already into debunks and such, involved in all manner of health nonsense in the 70s and 80s, due to contracting a strange illness (and had been a card carrying member of the counterculture, which evolved into New Age in the 70s, dragging all things in the hippie utopia with it, including water).
    My illness took my youth and dreams and I was desperate for answers or a cure, to get my life back. So I got into a network of friends with frustrating health problems (rheumatoid arthritis, MS, etc, etc). I was just ripe for picking. And was. The final cure for all this nonsense was a) trying it ALL, with no good result, and b) going back to college and relearning the *scientific method", taking a critical thinking class, and theoretical engineering in which everything was a proof. These things, plus *still* having the health problem, in spite of thousands of $$$$$ spent and guarantees made, cured me of spending money for nothing. Turns out, all these decades later, my illness was caused by, of all things, wait, are you ready... a virus! Still no cure or other than supportive treatment (and snake oil still making a killing), but it's nice to know, anyway. This group of people I was in, would now, of course, gravitate to covid conspiracies/misinformation, as most were already convinced their diseases were caused by the bad govvy or medical establishment, than by an actual physical processes. I am mystified, though, why healthy people would gravitate toward this stuff. Like, what's the motivation?

    Another great and informative debunking. I do think there is room for certain things that arent scientifically verifiable to be true though. There are undoubtedly things we have yet to explain or understand, so I think its important to balance hardline 'scepticism against anything not already proven or verifiable by current knowledge' with some open mindedness towards things that inherently dont lend themselves to being interrogated scientifically, and may never be able to be determined in such a way.
    Anything spiritual for example, and no i dont mean taking scripture or organised religion as fact or truth (i dont ascribe to a religion myself), i just mean the sense of feeling connected to other beings, and nature in general, in this incredible and overwhelming existence we share.
    Its easy for sceptics to rubbish these things but in doing so they can remove a route towards improved psychological and emotional wellbeing.

Rather, the assumption that minimal risk is inherently "better," is a value judgement. There is no science to assess the value of a value. All science can tell is what will happen....science cannot tell us if we should give a shit.
      Also, chemistry should the cornerstone of science education. It's the central science, but we don't treat it as such.

      I'm an odd in chemistry.. but I perfectly understand why water memory is a bullshit !

    Could you do a video on GMOs and GEOs, or the organic food craze? A lot of companies charge extra by marketing products as "organic" or "non-GMO," and I think doing a debunk on the benefits of GMOs and other such products would be enlightening for a lot of people

    Here in Europe we had an "water vitaliser" which costs a few thousands of Euros.
    It was recently outlawed, since it worked with radio frequency (around 20W at 144.15 MHz) and caused a lot of interference. Ham radio operators DO NOT like this, and tracked them down and reported them to the regulating agency, which then stopped the import, sale and use of it. Whoever is turning it on now, is risking a hefty fine (at least the second time you do it, the first time they usually only inform you about the problem .. but if you give them crap about it, it's totally possible for them to fine you right away).
    The fun thing is, people who use this stuff are the same crowd which are scared of mobil base towers, especially 5G. This thing did produce quite significant RF fields whenever it was running ..

    I love the title of your book, I'm a systems engineer and I've actually used that term and; "This model recycles the wi-fi waves improving your connection" when a customer started getting overbearing about the equipment I was installing at his request.

    The end of the video was really touching for me, as over the past few years I've watched my entire family go off the deep end into crackpot conspiracies, alt health, etc.
    This has been exacerbated by the pandemic and is far more prevalent than most people realize. Sometimes I genuinely worry that we are approaching another dark age.

    You'd need cavitation bubbles to have high energetic zones for transformations of any kind.
    In my opinion is temperature the most important factor to improve subjective water quality. Put your clean tab water in bottles to the fridge and compare. The cool temperature changes properties as density. And what is water, I mean H2O, anyway, if not a very wide range of energetic states, they talk now of complex crystals in " ice 19 ".

    I love how you ask the question "why do people want to believe this stuff? What ouch does it scratch?" As well as pointing out humans anthropomorphisize everything. I'm actually interested in the answers!
    My gf is very into metaphysics and I've explained to her that a lot of these sales pitches rely on the limits of language. Like "energy" it means something specific in science, but it has wide usage outside that in common language (adhd kids have a lot of energy etc) and I think "memory" is an example of this. Like say denting metal with a hammer and equating the dent to "memory" if we can get them to clarify what them mean and nail it down in a lab (like the hydrogen bonds or whatever they said about water structure) then it seems it might aid education
