About the Museum
The Museum of Hoaxes is dedicated to promoting knowledge about hoaxes. (Click here for opening hours, etc.) On our blog we post about dubious- sounding claims, and whatever else strikes our fancy. The site is also home to the Hoax Photo Database, the Hoax Forum, and the Hoaxipedia.

Thanks! This is helpful! I have an older daughter in chemistry class, and this is bound to become a topic. We are far from owning the genius or the lab equipment to speak the same language on the sites, but it was understandable. Just goes to show the importance of not taking everything we see and hear for gospel truth, so Thanks again.

Who are you thanking, justamom?

it would be quick and easy to decide if microwave-warmed blood is toxic or lethal:

using lab. mice or similar, say 6 of each 2 batch: split the blood volume in half, warm the blood in the microwave and infuse it into the experimental animals.

Warm the other half the way the protocol dictate and also infuse it into the control animals.

The difference will be INTERESTING. One thing I can guarantee now: this issue will not remain academic!

uj.

yeah, but did the clot occur because the blood was microwaved? i definitely wouldn't want microwaved blood for a transfusion. that's absurd. food gets all rubbery and gross from the microwave, i can't imagine what it does to human blood. i'm sure they didn't do any further studies to see if poor norma got the short end of the stick on that one. the hospital would have a major lawsuit on their hands and the microwave industry could be sued by multiple consumers for all kinds of things. most studies on microwaves and their ill affects are done outside of the US with little US attention to how they conclude that microwaves do as little as destroying the nutritional content of your food to as much as altering the make up of the food so that the body is unable to metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food. it's absorption could lead to cancer. cancer is such a prominent problem with little evidence as to what it's specific cause is. but it's never just one thing. throwing out your microwave would be a good start to a healthier lifestyle for numerous reasons. and, if nothing else, your food will taste better (although it's kind of hard to make a frozen burrito taste very good in the first place).

I educated myself in a hurry and came to understand that it was not blood clot that killed the patient. She was not even able to form blood cloths before died.

The blood was hemolysed and the potassium the red cells contained leaked out and the ammount was not only toxic but lethal.

Microwaves are zapping the nutrients out of your food by over cooking them. That is what is killing you. When you dont get live enzymes from raw foods you have a harder time digesting the food and there is less nutrients for your body to stay healthy with. Good rule of thumb: The closer to the way God made it, the better it is for you.

Bringing a virtual reality figure, a mythical figure GOD into the discussion is unnecessary at least. Microwaves are bad news we know that now. Why bad news and how bad news are well canvassed. Lets not hide behind this deity. Lets grow up! This God apparently created lots of poisonous plants and animals take mosquitoes, pathogenes, cosmic dangers, geological risks to name a few. This piece of creation escaped quality control. We 'creatures' invented microwave at our peril but what about the 'intelligent designer' making us so imperfect? Spare me please!

Whoa...chill.

Micro-oven is for cooking!! not warming a live cell. of course it will pop ...
