New Age stupidity

This is why I have little faith in New Age remedies:

Tachyon Energy
A New Paradigm in Science and Health

First, the science.
All matter, from this page, to the human heart, to the cosmos and beyond, is made of energy and is part of an "Energetic Continuum", a term used to describe the flow of energies as they move down from 'THE SOURCE'. This 'stepping down' process creates the third dimensional world in which we live.
Formless Zero-Point Energy, (in Quantum Physics), is considered to be the starting point of the energetic continuum, and the first formed energy to emerge from it is called Tachyon. Named after the Greek word meaning swift, the word Tachyon, like the word electricity, merely describes a type of energy. But it is to Tachyon Energy, and its qualities and uses as a balancing tool for the human form, that I now direct your attention.
What makes these Tachyon particles so special? Well, just like Zero-Point Energy, they move faster than the speed of light, are everywhere at the same time, have no frequency, spin, or gravitation, are the source of all energies, and contain the perfect potential of the entire universe within themselves, but remember, now they have form.

How Tachyon Energy Works With The Body
By interacting with what is called a 'Subtle Organizing Energy Field' (SOEF). This term describes an energetic theory of nutrition which states that our physical bodies are templated on SOEF's. When balanced, organized and functioning at its peak, the body is in a state known as negative entropy or 'youthing; disorganized, it slips into a state of chaos known as positive entropy; the most radical example being the production of cancer cells. If a SOEF is blocked or depleted, the flow of life force energy through the Energetic Continuum becomes deficient. But SOEF's can be energized. Our body naturally does this through the chakra system, oxygen, sunlight, water and food. However,when those sources are themselves deplete of Tachyon Energy, this can negatively impact our lives and may show up as symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and dis-ease.
So how can we get more of this Tachyon Energy if we want to function at optimal levels? The answer may be found in new advancements in technology that have allowed for the creation of "antennae' that attract and focus Tachyon Energy. These 'antennae', when applied directly to the body, 'feed' the SOEF's, giving the body the tools and energy necessary to heal itself, and do it in a self regulating fashion.
That's right, you see the SOEF's use only that amount of Tachyon Energy necessary to re-balance unorganized areas of the body, eliminating the need to monitor dosage requirements.

Some Of The Things You Might Experience
Physically, you may experience an increase in stamina and energy; emotionally, a return to that feeling of unconditional love; mentally, you could experience increased wisdom or clarity of thought; and spiritually feel more in tune with 'THE SOURCE'. To that list add natural detoxification,increased vitamin & mineral absorption, enhanced meditation, increased brain function, a decrease in general pain symptoms and an increased sense of well being.

In a recent independent research study by Norman McVea, Ph.D., Dir. Oxygen Research Institute, Mill Valley CA , Tachyon 'antennae' were found to be of tremendous value as tools for stress reduction, meditation, creative visualization, consciousness expansion, rejuvenation, and psychic exploration. Now you can see why countless lay people and health care professionals in over ninety-three countries choose to use Tachyon Energy for the betterment of themselves, their families, friends, clients and pets.
What an appalling lack of understanding of even basic physics, let alone Quantum physics. Sadly it will confuse, fool and impress some ppl into handing over a wad of money in the belief they're tired cause they're "deficient" in Tachyons.

As an aside, has anyone else ever noticed that people who use the word "Paradigm" usually haven't the faintest clue as to what they're talking about?

It is this kind of ignorance that allows Chick to convert people as well (if he does indeed convert anyone) I'm sorry to say its not going to go away anytime soon.

I'd hardly call it "New Age stupidity", i mean, how many of the general public would have a clue wot that was all about? Christians, Muslims, Wiccans, they're all just as likely to be fooled. i can see your point about them not really understanding what their on about but its not stupidity and certainly NOT just a "New Age" (what ever you mean exactly by that) thing.

Geez, I don't even take physics but from what little knowledge I have of it, wtfever the New Age stuff said was so scientifically wrong it's not funny

Cool, I'm gonna make me a Tachyon antena from a coat hanger, that solve all my problems and give me the strength a need to really shift some paradigms. :D

This reminds me,I must purchase additional stock in Alcoa Aluminum.

The new line of tin foil hats for winter should put the stock through the roof.

Well there are the Diathermy machines that are still produced today. They broadcast 26-29 MHz at 60 pulses a second.

http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/d1/diatherm.asp

They were banned in the early 70s by the FDA as electronic snake oil, but this was reversed in the 80s when it was shown that the Israeli Army used the devices to speed up the healing of war wounds.

I got to work on a model that was built the year Nixon took office. The doctor who owns it uses it to treat skin cancer. He told me it will shrink a carcinoma to nothing. He does the work on the QT because the FDA will only sanction the use of Diathermy for the treatment of skin wounds.

There where trials on using deep body bipolar Diathermy for the treatment of cancer in the late 40s. Though it is rumored they had a lot of success, the findings were never published. Radiation and chemotherapy were the flavor of the day and everything else was treated with ridicule.

The weird thing is Diathermy machines are relatively cheap, and the average electronic hobbyist could build one for no more than a few hundred bucks.

Wow Tachyon beams.

*plays with fingers, right hand assumes Enterprise, left finger assumes tachyon beams, left leg assumes borg vessel*

That ranks as possibly the biggest piece of crap I've EVER read.

Heres an Idea: let corrupt the ideas of pre-christian paganism and call it new-age. New and improved crap, is still crap.

I always thought Tachyon was one of those made up words Star Trek writers invented to make things seem more futuristic.

...I always thought Tachyon was one of those made up words Star Trek writers invented...Nope. :)But tachyon seems to have been coined in 1967. (http://http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=tachyon) Gotta wonder when the term first appeared on Star Trek. :)
