Desperation can drive people to do desperate things. Such as investing in the 鈥淛ING ORB鈥� to try to resolve a health problem. You can鈥檛 blame anyone afflicted with a serious condition, one that defies conventional medical care, to consider 鈥渁lternatives.鈥� But you can take issue with those who prey upon the desperate and extract money from their wallets with promises of benefits from pseudoscientific treatments. And just when you think you have heard the most outrageous promotional mumbo jumbo, a new scam comes along to surpass it.
A case in point is the 鈥淛ING ORB,鈥� claimed to be 鈥渁 breakthrough in health technology designed to recharge your body鈥檚 biological batteries, and in so doing, promote overall wellness by allowing the body to heal itself more efficiently.鈥澛�
鈥淛ing鈥� is some sort of fictitious energy stored in the kidneys that has its conceptual origins in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and like its mythical relative 鈥渃hi,鈥� is devoid of any evidence for its existence. Nevertheless, 鈥渏ing鈥� can supposedly be enhanced by the 鈥淛ING ORB,鈥� a gizmo that is placed in the bathtub after being activated by linking to an electronic device that has lots of dials and flashing lights. It looks impressive.
What does it do? Here is the explanation from the promoter: 鈥淭o understand how the JING ORB works, think of each cell in your body as a miniature battery, and just like batteries, when your cells don鈥檛 have enough charge, they don鈥檛 function properly. By using the JING ORB you are increasing the charge on every cell! More specifically, the JING ORB is designed to create water-mediated bio energy from electromagnetic energy (electricity). It does this by creating a very safe and specific electromagnetic field in water.鈥�
This meaningless drivel with no basis in reality. But the money that desperate people are asked to dish out is very real. How much? $2495.00 US for the 鈥渟tandard edition,鈥� and $2995.00 US for the 鈥減rofessional鈥� version that I assume is designed for building a business to milk others. It figures that this 鈥渕iracle鈥� is promoted by David 鈥淎vocado鈥� Wolfe, one of the most preposterous critters ever to slither across the internet.
Wolfe is a notorious anti-vaxxer, believes the Earth is flat, promotes apricot pits as a treatment for cancer, believes that gravity is toxic and thinks that solar energy is being depleted because solar panels sucking it up. Deer antlers have a 鈥渓evitational鈥� effect, whatever that may mean. Mushrooms come from distant planets carried by cosmic winds and are equipped with advanced intelligence and consciousness. The oceans, he says, are salty because if they weren鈥檛, the water would evaporate into space. To top it off, this intellectual colossus claims that electromagnetic radiation is dangerous and sells a variety of 鈥減rotective鈥� devices. Yet, the 鈥渞ationale鈥� for the wondrous effects of the JING ORB are ascribed to 鈥渨ater-mediated bio energy from electromagnetic energy.鈥�
Hard to know if Wolfe is as dim-witted as he seems, or is a clever actor capitalizing on widespread scientific illiteracy to see what nonsense he can spin to turn a profit. Either way, he deserves to be shunned. He does look very happy in his pictures, probably from laughing all the way to the bank
