Has anyone out there heard of the "zapper", invented by Saskatchewan naturopathic doctor and celll biologist Hulda Clark? She claims that disease-causing bacteria and viruses in the body can be killed by low-level radio frequencies. The zapper delivers that frequency to the body, and has been claimed by some to actually cure AIDS.

If that's all it takes, we're all going to be fine. We're constantly bathed in RF from many sources. The above claim, indicates she's a fraud.

No it doesn't. The science behind it is, of course, more complex than you could have known from my post. What I find interesting is that that didn't stop you from jumping to conclusions.

I have been experimenting myself with the device, having built several over the past couple of years. And I have to say, with very positive results. And I am NOT getting a flu shot!

How do you know you've had positive results? Did you run a full study, with several participant, including a control group? If not, all you've got is a delusion. I could claim that eating pizza & beer prevents disease. After all, I've had lots of both and rarely get sick (only one sick day in 21 years, with one employer).

I don't need to employ the scientific method to prove something to myself. Neither do you, unless you don't trust yourself. If pizza and beer works for you, who am I to argue?
