No Deal, Edmonds
June 7, 2016 at 7:26 pm
Just saw this in my FB trending news feed and for one blissful moment I thought it was another 'celebrity' death, or maybe a Yewtree thing. Then I clicked it.
Noel Edmonds: 'Negative Attitude' Caused Man's Cancer
Quote:Noel Edmonds has become involved in a Twitter row with a man who he suggested had cancer because of his "negative attitude".
The Deal Or No Deal presenter has been praising a machine he uses which is said to stimulate "cellular resonance" in the body.
He claims the EMPpad, which uses pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF), "slows ageing, reduces pain, lifts depression" among other benefits.
But @VaunEarl, whose Twitter biography says he has kidney cancer, lymph node metastases and psoriatic arthritis, called the machine "quackery".
"This sort of quackery should be illegal if it isn't already," he wrote.
Quote:"I think Noel Edmonds should stick to what he's good at. Presenting quiz shows and beard trimming, rather than curing cancer."
Quote:Edmonds fired back: "Scientific fact-disease is caused by negative energy. Is it possible your ill health is caused by your negative attitude? #explore".
Seriously, we lost Victoria Wood, Ronnie Corbett and Frank Kelly (and Gareth "Blake" Thomas), but had to get stuck with this sanctimonious shit?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Bloody idiot.
Every Trekkie knows that the Cellular Regeneration and Entertainment Chamber won't be invented for a few hundred years.

When our dog pulled his achilles tendon a sports vet here tried to sell my wife a t-PEMF. It was a loop of wire hooked up to a 4 watch battery driven pulse device. It only cost $400 to rent for 4 weeks.
Guess who found another vet.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Even then, the Minions of Orthodoxy will try to suppress it. Probably descendants of the American Republican party.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

If it is stimulates "cellular resonance" in the body, can anyone tell me the resonant frequency of a cell, do all cells have the same frequency and how can I measure it to check that it's working?
We need details (ie numbers) not pseudo scientific babble.
