Regarding selling wheatgrass, the instructions for sprouting it are quite simple, and there are juicebars that will buy it. Booster Juice in my area might. No internet needed.


Won't argue there, exactly, there is no need to purchase expensive roots or seeds over the internet tubes. Internet wheat grass (if its wheat grass AT ALL) is no different than Internet viagra from grey market sites....suspect. That said, I'm sure people like Nettcash make a decent amount of money peddling their wares to unsuspecting folks.



First off the video wasn't making a quotation, it was presenting the information as raw data without sourcing anything. Second, the only similarity between the two are a number and a unit of measure, and even those are only a bit similar.
.

True but it seems every single product/New Age website that mentions anything regarding foods, oils, or bodies resonating at MHz frequencies also misquotes Dr. Becker and our friend Bruce.

The INS ad doesn't source Dr. Roberts or Bruce Tainio directly but that still seems to be where they are getting their "data". If you do a little Google searching you'll find a whole shitload of new age products (including wheatgrass) that consistently misquote both men and their research. Those two sources are really the only ones I can find anywhere that mention real "frequency" testing of the body or food involving actual university/lab environments, EVERY other one is selling a product and adding 6 zeros and other sorts of hooey. The work of both is quoted correctly (using Hz) on sites about technology, medicine, etc, and incorrectly on all product sites.

Dr. Roberts did his research (I posted his curriculum vitae earlier, I believe he is the leading world expert in electrobiology and an author of surgical texts involving electricity and medicine) over a few decades, Bruce Tainio is an environmental technologist who seems to have built on Dr. Becker's work, and both men are quoted all over the New Age Herbalist Bullshit sites.

I'm sure wheat grass has some sort of nutritional value, and yeah if I were you I'd go buy some seeds at the local market and grow it. The only way to make real money selling it would be to scam people over the Internet, or to buy your own juice bar.

I also found a lot of Dr. Becker's work being misquoted/misrepresented to sell "Colloidal Silver", because he has done some clinical research on tissue healing/growth using ionic silver (like in brain damaged patients). In fact, even though he is a very well established doctor and might also be a Nobel Prize nominee (have to check on that), some junk science blogs are beginning to associate him with scams for Colloidal Silver and of course, the other New Age products.

Even with all of his vetted, peer reviewed work and endless medical accolades, Google's ranking is causing a lot of people to associate him with quackery simply because the product ads come up first in the search hits. Crazy!

Cheers.

That was a good read! You know when I watched Iron Man II there was allusion to the miraculous effects of chlorophyl. Mr. Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) was suffering from radiation poisoning as a result of having a radioactive battery where his heart should have been. For some reason transplanting a pig's heart was out of the question. Anyway, his robots mixed for him some green stuff to drink, and he mentioned it was the chlorophyl that was counteracting the radiation.

For someone who has a background in science and has worked 2 coops at a nuclear power generating facility, the science in this movie was absolutely horrible and that ruined everything else. I could not suspend my disbelief enough for this movie.
