Habib,

Which one do you think will grow my hair back best

Thanks for the funny reading material, it's a great way to start the morning with my coffee I guess you really don't need to have any reality to get a patent I've seen better psuedo science in sci fi comedies like Red Dwarf

Device having far infrared radiator for enhancing growth of hair

Patent Number: US2002077679

Abstract

The present invention proposes a device having a far IR radiator for enhancing the growth of hair, which device comprises a main body having a hold part and a contact part. A battery is installed in the hold part. A far IR radiator is installed in the contact part. A transparent cover is further arranged on the outer surface of the contact part. A comb having arrays of comb fingers is joined on the cover. The main body has a switch and a power socket. The battery will let the far IR radiator emit far IR lights to stimulate the skin of the scalp. Therefore, the hairs can be protected and nourished, and hair follicles can be activated to grow new hairs so that the hairs will be blacker and denser and have more vitality

Patent Number: US4657,87665432,658433
Publication date: 2004-06-20
Inventor(s): Sekha, Habib
Applicant(s): Sekha, Habib
Assignee: Salifert

Abstract

The present invention proposes a device having a far IR radiator for enhancing the growth of hair, increasing sexual attraction, and making fish livelier in aquaria. The device works through a mechanism that is not fully understood, but which we assure the patent examiners is real. Tests on two (yes, TWO) different aquaria, one bald head, and one unattractive man have demonstrated great improvements such that the subjects did not ask for their money back.

This is REALLY FUN.

You name it and it can be found.

increasing sexual attraction,

Well sort of. Bolding is mine (NO Boomer that's not that mine).

Abstract

In man, autonomic and cortical resonances of the nervous system can be excited by inducing subliminal heat pulses in the skin by means of a resistive heat patch, laser, heat lamp, or microwave radiation, or through a slow air jet that carries a small periodic fluctuation in temperature. Deeply subliminal skin temperature oscillations of frequency near +E,fra 1/2+EE Hz induced in a subject by any of these means cause sleepiness, drowziness, relaxation, a tonic smile, ptosis of the eyelids, a tense feeling, sudden loose stool, or sexual excitement, depending on the precise pulse frequency used. For certain higher frequencies, the induced subliminal skin temperature oscillations cause fractured thought and a slowing of certain cortical processes. The method and apparatus can be used by the general public as an aid to relaxation, sleep, or arousal, and clinically for the control and perhaps treatment of tremors, seizures, and emotional disorders. There is further application in the form of nonlethal weapons, involving a pulsed infrared laser or a pulsed microwave beam, tuned to a sensory resonance pulse frequency.

That is something that you'd need to be sure of. I can just see making that mistake with my wife. "Heh baby, wanna get lucky?.........eeeewwwwwww"

Hi all,

I somehow missed this thread until now. Sorry for chiming in late, especially since the thread has degraded to magnetically powered devices that produce Olestra like side effects, but this nonsense really sticks in my craw...

I read the review in question with quite a bit of disgust and hearthache. I was actually embarrassed to be reading it. Any shred of respect I had left for Goemans is now completely gone.

This article brought on terrible flashbacks to the Marc Weiss interview when Bob asked obviously canned questions and the replies were direct quotes from Marc Weisses advertising and website.

This kind of stuff is why Carl Sagan's "A Demon Haunted World, Science as a Candle in the Dark" should be mandatory High School reading. In it, Sagan repeatedly asserts the importance of a well honed "BS detector".

It will never cease to amaze me that people fall for such outrageous claims. Even if someone isn't educated in the sciences, you would think the language alone would just scream "snake oil".

Also, to reiterate a point that was already made.... I have never read a bad review from Goemans. How does anyone trust the credibility of someone who never has a negative word to say about a product???

[Bomber]

Well, I always thought Ronny thinks he is a product

sudden loose stool

I have laughted so much here my "stool" got loosse and have actually fell off it a few times now.

I have never read a bad review from Goemans

I beleive I have pointed that out a few times also.........there are no bad reviews by Bobby other than that bad review of a Salifert test kit

not at the test kit but at Bobby!

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

I'm sure you guys mistyped "Bobby", so I corrected it for you to prevent any concern that you might be calling folks names.

[Bomber]

chicken!




You better be laughing, now that really was a joke.

[jfinch]

You know this type of junk science isn't just marketed to the masses. I'm a chem engineer at an oil refinery and I had a guy stop by trying to sell "BIG" magnets to treat industrial cooling water systems. I'm talking 100's of thousands of dollars here.

About 5 minutes into his pitch I actually chuckled out loud (for which I'm not proud) and told him we weren't interested... He even had a long list of references, but he never actually produced a name when pressed .
