Now you can get more energy from a patch! I especially like the way that
they "believe" that it works. It is also based on years of research from
many fields. While the research may be valid, I'm not sure that their
results were intended to be used with a "patent pending blend of water,
oxygen, amino acids and organics applied to a polyester fabric and sealed
within a polymer shell".

Do these things come with a money back guarantee? And if they do, how can I trust an anonymous source who only sells on the web, in the event I find they don't work? |

Yes, the company offers a 30 money back guarantee. You have to call the company's customer service # to get a return authorization.
I am almost tempted to offer a couple of the skeptics a free trial pack, but I'm sure it would be a waste of my time and effort. |

Waver,
You are probably right about the free trial pack. There's no way it would work for a skeptic since they don't believe in it.
One thing I'm wondering about is, if the patches wear out after a couple of days of being worn, then every time you physically handle the package, they must loose some of their effectiveness. And if someone in a warehouse sits beside a crate of them to have lunch everyday, he could wear out an entire shipment, could he not? And what about the guy driving the delivery truck? He must be able to drive for days without sleep. (As well as be able to unload the truck without a forklift.)
Oh, I almost forgot! Quack. |

Well, you'd be wrong about that, Waver, at least with reference to me. By all means, send me some free patches (assuming, of course, that they are TRULY free, which means I spend NO money to get them).
To what email address would you like me to send my snail mail info? |

Hey, I have an idea for you: why don't you tell your patch-making friends to apply for the JREF Million Dollar Prize (randi.org)? If those phony things work, they'd be a MILLION DOLLARS richer.
Dude you think so much of this randi guy that it almost seems his your boyfriend. I loked at his site and I think he's full of shit, he interprets the rules diferently each time to make sure he doesn't pay. While many of the people that take the challenge are probably full of crap, I think randi is too.
Further more, in regards to your coment about how everyone should waste their money, it is my understanding that they have a money back guarantee. So, Media Guy put your money where your mouth is and prove them wrong, you have nothing to loose, this way I can find out if this things really work before I buy!
Some friendly advice, get a life! you focus to much on the negative and therefore live surrounded by negativity, learn to see the goof in things every once in a while.
Later!
You can respond if you want, but I'm not coming back. |

Your ad hominem attack says WAY more about you than it does about me. If you actually bothered to read Randi's FAQ about the challenge, you'd find that he addresses the issue of why there can be no set, unchanging, protocol for the testing.
If you gave it a moment's thought, you'd realize that that it is simply impossible to create one, as everyone who applies for the JREF Prize claims different abilities. You can't test a dowser using the same protocols you would use for a tarot card reader, can you? What single protocol would apply to both your stupid patches AND someone who claims telekinesis powers?
If you think you can invent a single, unchanging set of protocols that would apply to every claimant of powers or abilities that defy the known laws of physics, why don't you contact Randi and tell him about it? You would be doing us all a great service, assuming they worked.
"Further more, in regards to your coment about how everyone should waste their money, it is my understanding that they have a money back guarantee.

Sure, why don't I just mail in my money to people who are selling something the functioning of which they admit they can't explain? After all, there's NO chance that they will suddenly go out of business and just keep the money. Frauds NEVER do anything like THAT! Why don't YOU just prove that your nonsense has any power other than that of the placebo? You're the one making claims here, not me.
"Some friendly advice, get a life! you focus to much on the negative and therefore live surrounded by negativity, learn to see the goof in things every once in a while."
Right, why worry about frauds who take money from people who might require *real* medical assistance? Why not laugh off FAKES and FRAUDS who steal money by capitalizing on people's trust and naivete? I guess YOU find it funny to rip people off? Sorry, I don't share your sense of "humor." If you call that "negativity," I think you're misusing the word.
"Later!

Sure, run away. I'd say that it was curious that you refuse to submit your nonsense to testing, even for a million dollars, but I think we both know the reason for that. Sorry you can't take the heat of legitimate criticism. Run, little man, run. |

I doubt Spenblu even read the whole Paranormal Challenge page. Because if he had, he would know that, in every case, the test protocol is agreed to by both parties beforehand. Therefore, the only conclusion that can be reached if they fail, is they do not have the supernatural ability they claim.
Tight controls are essential in serious scientific research. This is to be absolutely certain there is no other explanation for an observed phenomenon. Without it, science books would have chapters on wacko things like ESP and astrology. But then, Spenblu must believe in things like ESP and astrology since he is such a positive person. |

Oh my, yes! To question ANYTHING, no matter how pseudo-scientific, is to mark yourself as a "negative person." We wouldn't want THAT, now would we?
I better not agree with you too much, Al, or Splenblu will accuse us of being boyfriends. Oops, I forgot--he's never coming here again. Now kiss me, you fool! |

I have noticed that I don't need Viagra anymore since I started wearing the patches. |

Yeah. I can just imagine an Olympic sprinter, wearing LifeWave energy patches, running the 100 meters with a hard on. The only advantage might be at the finish line. |

I am now in possession of three sets of LifeWave patches, courtesy of Waver. They are very flexible adhesive discs (about the size of a fifty-cent piece) with a small compartment in the center. Some have a light brown or tan liquid in them, some have a white liquid. You are supposed to put the white one on your right side and the tan one on your left side.
My wife actually did this, following the directions exactly. She reports no discernable effect at all, either good or bad.
Correction: I just this moment held the patches up to the light. They don't seem to have any liquid in them at all. It appears that the plastic covering the small compartment is what gives them the white or tan color. The compartments puff out a little bit, apparantly due to some air inside them.
Oh, by the way, James Randi talks extensively about LifeWave on his site this week: randi.org .

...Enhancing your energy to perform sports isn't really sporting is it?
I take offense with anything that claims to enhance your natural ability to do something. Because, if you were SUPPOSED to be able to run faster or longer, you would be able to do it naturally. Since you can't...you're pushing the design plans. It's like a car's engine. You COULD run it with no oil...but how long will it take before it blows up?? Just leave well enough alone. |

Maegan,
Let me play devil's advocate for a minute. Doesn't rigorous training also "enhance your natural ability"? For that matter, what about eating whole wheat bread or drinking skim milk or taking a vitamin pill? How far do should athletes be allow to go before it's not called sport anymore?
CMG,
You say there is just air inside them? Perhaps they are made with homeopathic diluted solutions. I guess I was wrong, LifeWave patches do use known technology! |

Yeah, known-to-be-bullshit technology! I just held them up to the light again and as near as I can tell, there is NO liquid inside them, just colored plastic or something in the puffy part which gives them the white or tan color.
Hey, maybe it's homeopathically-diluted air that's inside them! That would be what? A vacuum? |

Fascinating stuff WWSN1. I hadn't heard that LifeWave had backed out of the JREF Paranormal Challenge. I suspected that might happen if they were running a diliberate scam. They no doubt have some excuse like, "we don't have time, we are too busy developing our revolutionary product".
At least one person on this thread has posted thoughts about what harm could there be if it made a person think they were getting some benefit from the product. Well as your site shows, some of the distributors are claiming cures for things like cancer. That's getting into really serious stuff. If someone were to rely on LifeWave instead of proven therapy, it could do a lot of harm.
And if real medical science can't do something for your cancer, then these people are just taking advantage of those who are desparate. I consider them the lowest form of life in existence. |
