:-D You guys are killing me over here!

I wonder if it’ll take a month or so before the Q-Ray fans start showing up and making semi-coherent replies with several correctly spelled words to this entry like it took for the Teslar watch fans on that one?

You guys really shouldn’t mock the health benefits of ionization.  I’ve been a proponent of ionization for years now, and I KNOW that it works.

If you are interested, send 30$ C/O UMustBKiddin Wa.  I will ship your “ionization fork” immediately.  All you have to do is insert the end that looks like, well, a fork, into any household electrical outlet, and you too can experience the shocking transformation that comes with *ionization*

Nowiser,

I wonder if you ever picked up a copy of “Never Strikes Twice"--apparently the definitive source of information on deriving benefit from one of natures most potent and pure forms of ionization.

Apparently, there are places that for a modest fee will take you to secret locations where in a few seconds you can benefit from a full 1.21 gigawatts of pure, all-natural healthy ionization.

I’m thinking this is much more pure and healthy than a bracelet or fork. Any thoughts?

Speaking of qi as a sales gimmick, look at martial arts. I’ve practice Tai Chi (an art that has qi mania) as a martial art for over four years. My teacher is a fourth generation practitioner of Yang style Tai Chi. His teacher was a very well know and respected martial artist whose teacher was Chen Wei Ming one of Yang Cheng Fu’s (the creator of Yang style Tai Chi as it’s practiced today) most well know students.
The reason I’ve gone it to my teachers lineage is to show that he speaks with some authority. From day one of my practices with my teacher he has insisted that qi is nothing then a sales gimmick. His insist and the amazing feats that people see attributed to Tai Chi such as tossing people through the air or throwing them to the ground with what looks like just a touch is attributed to physics; not qi.
At this point people usually tell me that my teacher is holding back his secrets, because he doesn’t want to share them with a non-Chinese student. But I know that’s not the case because after he tosses me around like a rag doll he shows me how he did it. Explaining in detail how each move is done and after some practice I too can throw my younger classmates around using those some moves with almost no effort. So I know from experience, which is proof enough form me, that it’s physics not qi. 
It’s gotten to the point that I can no longer hardly stand to look at martial arts magazine dealing with Tai Chi because all they talk about is qi. I know this is somewhat off subject but your post about the Q-ray bracelet helping with the body’s qi just got me going, so I had to say my piece about my personal qi pet peeve.

BUSH’S UNIQUE AND NOT SO ELOQUENT MANNER OF SPEAKING IS CONSTANTLY BERATED BY MY FRIEND WHO DOESN’T LIKE BUSH FOR THIS SIMPLE REASON. IF ANY ONE KNOWS OF A WEBSITE IN WHICH PREVIOUS LEADERS QUOTES ARE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT TO MAKE THEM APPEAR LESS INTELLIGENT PLEASE EMAIL ME AT

-thank you

Wow, Matt...that’s pretty cool about your teacher admitting it was a sales gimmick. Then again, I guess people that take their art seriously (whatever it may be) don’t want to see huckter bullshit continue.

I know absolutely nothing about the martial arts and have heard of the magic of “qi”, so I respect his style. Dispelling myths is a noble art in itself, IMO.

Q-Ray sucks. I guess no one really understands what ionization is… Well let me explain, all it is charged atoms so if you really want an ionized bracelet go find yourself a piece of aluminum foil make a “C” shape with it around your wrist and plug it into the wall. Sure you’ll die, but at least that will be one less moron on the planet.

the Q ray is a waste of money and time,1: very long commmercial, 2:almost imposible to believe its crap its telling you on the very long commercial, 3:The most unbeliable thing on television since the X-files...hah! DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME! sincerly AtheA,

yo matt dude, chi is a scam and you believe it… all i have to do to stop you from throwing me around is not believe it (not believe you can/cause interference) and you have no chi that can move a hair on me ... but if i believed as you and the people u throw around the matt yes it is real… see anything here

Hey, I have contacted the Canadian Government asking them to investigate the outlandish claims made by Q Ray on TV. They have replied and MAY do so.

BUT, while I do NOT believe any of their claims, and am sure it is a SCAM, a friend just got one and tells me that it does work. Think maybe we’re going off “half-cocked” here???

IN CASE you think maybe I am with Q Ray and you do not believe me, here is the reply from the government:

Your e-mail to the Minister of Health has been forwarded to me for
response.  We apologize for the delay in responding.

A copy of this e-mail detailing your concerns about claims made on TV by
the Q Ray people has been forwarded to our Operational Centres for review
and possible investigation.  Further concerns can be submitted directly to
the Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate:

a day at q ray headquarters
“q ray bracelets are getting returned! what should we do with them!!!”
“crush them and sell them as a cure for cancer.”
“false hope!!! I love it!!!”
the marketing strategy currently used is scare the person into thinking they have a problem
give them false hope
nothing new with q ray

Q-ray is hilarious. Only idiots would pay for that crap…
