Subject: "Science" for discussion

Hi Roy

I recently received some advertising on a product called the "Q* Link
Pendant" and I am seeking the source of the science behind this
product.Apparently it has been endorsed by a Dr. William Tiller, Material
Science Department of Stanford University.  Does anyone have details about
Dr. Tiller and his research? Any published papers, etc.

I request comments about the following "science" that the Q-Link
advertising mentions. This device is supposed to consist of a surface mount
integrated circuit, where frequencies are imprinted.

I have tested one and it does not reduce either ELF  fields as measured by
a quality magnetic field meter.

As this forum is open to discussing and analysing research studies then we
should also seriously debate the following claims, quoted from their
advertising:

"The revolutionary Q* LINK PENDANT creates enhanced, natural relief from
computer and mobile phone radiation and other sources of man-made
electromagnetic fields (EMF) and effectively helps your body to protect
itself. It is designed as a pendant for individual use and has been proven
to naturally strengthen the wearer's own bioenergy.

Based on years of leading edge research conducted around the world, the
revolutionary technology used in the Q* LINK was developed in collaboration
with esteened scientists at Stanford University and the University of
California. The pendant has been thoroughly tested and has proven to
consistently reduce the harmful effects of EMF on the human physiology. The
Q*LINK has been shown to reduce EMF stress levels by up to 90%, as well as
stress caused by other sources.

The Q*LINK PENDANT reinforces our natural bioenergy by activating an
omni-directional, protective field around the body. It enhancews the body's
natural, creative functioning to align with the basic bioenergetic rhythms
found everywhere in nature. it has been found that when these rhythms are
strong, life is flourishing, and when disrupted or weak, life is threatened
or diminished. Customer studies also report boosted energy and vitality,
enhansed mental clarity and alertness, balanced emotions, improved athletic
performance and general well being."

Looking forward to all comments.

Don Maisch
