The Q ENERGYspa is the original footbath and water spa invention,
on which devices such as the Aqua Chi and other imitators are based.
The intended purpose of the original invention is to increase available
energy, in the form necessary for the body to achieve better balancing
and healing. It was not for detoxification through the feet or
skin, as so many devices purport to do. In this climate of muddied
waters, both literally and symbolically, I hoped that a simple
experiment could show whether there is, in reality, the life-enhancing
effect the inventor intended with the Q ENERGYspa, and if his imitators,
in this case the Aqua Chi, were also achieving the same effect.
With this goal in mind, on September 13, 2007, I met at the office
of a local health practitioner in Helena to test our Q ENERGYspa
and her Aqua Chi using two sets of tomatoes, one conventionally
grown and the other organic, all store bought, of similar ripeness
and size. (Conventional means grown with the use of artificial
fertilizers and chemical pesticides and herbicides, as opposed
to organic which prohibits the use of these and, depending on the
standards applied, engages more holistic methods of soil management.)
We proceeded to treat one tomato of each kind (conventional and
organic) on the respective machines in identical quantities of
water from the same source, for the standard treatment session
of 35 minutes, with a control tomato that was simply placed in
a different container of water for the same amount of time. We
took certain precautions, such as adequate separation of test units,
to ensure the results would be untainted. I then took the tomatoes
home and put them in a place where they would remain undisturbed,
taking pictures at intervals to record progression (or regression,
depending on how you look at it).
It is interesting to see how the minor blemishes
are areas of weakness that spread deterioration. The conventional
AC is beginning to look pretty beat up. The conventional control
is not nearly so bad, and the conventional Q has a bad spot. The
organics are beginning to shrivel, with the organic AC looking
the most weathered.
Of the conventional tomatoes, the control still looks
best on the outside. The conventional AC is losing shape on several
fronts, with blackening and obvious signs of decay, whereas the
conventional Q has one major blemish that continues to shrivel,
and darken the tomato. The organic AC is now collapsing on one
side, whereas the other two are holding shape, with the control
showing more wrinkling.
While the conventional tomatoes are worse overall
than the organic, the control is still standing tall. The conventional
AC is collapsing, as is the organic AC, whereas the other two organic
are standing with no signs of doing otherwise. The conventional
Q, though deteriorating, is standing tall. It is also interesting
how the blemish on the organic Q, visible from day 2, has not spread
and the weakness there seems to be isolated.
Now it is obvious that all the conventional tomatoes
are collapsing, though the conventional Q is not collapsing so
much as disappearing while it shrivels. The organics are hanging
in there, except for the AC, which looks terrible.
While all the conventional tomatoes have deteriorated
well beyond a usable condition, there are some peculiar differences.
For example, the control has the largest volume, and the Q the
smallest. Yet as you shall see when we describe what was found
inside these tomatoes, there is no correlation between a larger
volume and health as there is in the organic tomatoes, which, except for
the organic AC, are still intact and even fit for use.
The inside was all blackened, interspersed with some
white specks and areas of mold.
Conventional Control:
Spores puffed out as I cut the tomato in half. This
one was full of mold with some blackened parts.
Conventional Q ENERGYspa:
The inside was uniformly black and spongy, like a
mushroom. There was no mold and seeds were clearly visible (see
here), unlike the others.
Organic Aqua Chi:
The core was hard and blackened, with the surrounding
area putrefying.
Organic Control:
Small amount of mold on the exterior stem area, easily
excised. The interior shows signs of losing firmness and fulness,
but it is, otherwise, still fresh and usable. It goes into tomato
sauce.
Organic Q ENERGYspa:
The exterior blemished area has no mold, and shows
no influence on the interior pristine condition, which is plump
and beautiful. Into the sauce it goes!
Conclusion:
The results confirm something we have firmly believed
because, firstly, we have so much personal evidence proving it
is factual: The very first thing one should do is eat organically
as much as possible. Without question the organic control tomato
fared way better than the conventional control in this test, showing
that, without any other influence, organic is superior in life-force
to conventionally grown produce.
A clue about why this is so, which I did not appreciate at first
but recorded, because it seemed noteworthy, was that the conventional
tomatoes all floated when placed into the tubs of water, whereas
only one of the organic ones did. Floating is a sign that there
is a higher proportion of water in the tomato compared to nutrients.
Sinking is a sign, therefore, of nutrient density. The conventional
tomatoes were grown in such a way to attain volume with a higher
proportion of water to nutrients.
This was demonstrated by the more rapid and complete deterioration
of the non-organic, conventional tomatoes, regardless of treatment.
Such deterioration is an indicator of lower nutrient density. It
is a simple matter why this is so: Conventional agriculture generally
puts back into the soil only three or four nutrients, though over
90 nutrients are depleted with the production of a crop. Organic
agriculture, if practiced properly, strives to restore all 90+
nutrients back to the soil in a balanced fashion. The resultant
nutritional density is the key to non-chemical aided storability.
Fruit with ideal nutritional balance and density will not rot
but rather simply shrivel up and dry around the seeds. This ideal
was beautifully demonstrated in the organic control and organic
Q ENERGYspa tomatoes. If this is not reason enough to eat organic,
it must also be considered that organic food does not have literally
dozens of different pesticides applied to it, many of which are
widely established carcinogens. Organics are also non-genetically
modified. Few people realize it, but a very large percentage of
conventional tomatoes are genetically modified.
It just makes sense that injecting wholly unrelated genes and
putting chemicals on the food you eat, while treating the soil
with isolated elements rather than the full complement God made
for the sustenance of life, is short sighted and foolish. Look
at the pictures and ask yourself, “Would I rather my body
was an organic or conventionally grown tomato?” Going conventional,
the outside may look good for a while, but so what if death is
spreading from within and overtaking all goodness in short order?
While all three conventional tomatoes deteriorated, the manner
in which they deteriorated and the end results leave us with an
interesting thought. It appears that the Q ENERGYspa treatment,
while not adequate to forestall the collapse of the conventional
tomato, provided energy sufficient to be used in the preservation
of its seed (see here).
The purpose of fruit is to provide a means of propagating the plant,
and, in this sense, the Q ENERGYspa was successful, because it
appears to have best preserved the seed of all three conventional
tomatoes. Of these tomatoes, only the one treated by the Q ENERGYspa
had no mold and the seeds appeared healthy. Were I to duplicate
this experiment I would spend more time evaluating this aspect.
The principle of life-conserving energies operates with any kind
of health treatment. An effective device like the Q ENERGYspa will
not perform a miracle beyond the laws of nature. It will assist
the natural health processes, which are geared to maintain life.
If one is lacking essential nutrients and struggling with the impact
of toxic chemicals (as a result of conventionally-farmed products),
the living systems become weaker and more vulnerable. The first
order of business is to restore what is naturally needed and supportive
of life.
The organic tomato, having more nutrients (depending on how organically
it was grown, the condition of the soil, and the variety) and less
stress from a relative absence of toxic chemicals, was able to
utilize the energy from the Q ENERGYspa to maintain a more healthful
condition. (It is interesting to note that the organic tomato treated
by the Q had the lowest nutrient density of the three, yet fared
the best, telling us that the effect of the treatment may have
added more benefit than even what is seen in the side by side comparison.)
What this means is that effective therapies or treatments will
enable superior health only if you are doing the right things for
your health in the first place, supplying your body with what it
needs and not stressing it with what it doesn't. Otherwise, you
can get benefits, but sooner or later the laws of nature and physical
realities will catch up with you.
As for why the organic Aqua Chi tomato rotted while the control did not, it
is our thought, based on other observations with people using these devices,
that imitation machines create energy waves that cause the body, or tomato,
to dump valuable minerals, particularly calcium. Calcium is needed to retain
vitality and favorable storage properties in fruit and vegetables, not to mention
being important in human health. We had one woman using another device, the
Bio-Cleanse (formerly Ion Cleanse), who had the sudden appearance of varicose
veins after using it. Upon calling the company, they told her to stay off the
machine for six months and to beef up her mineral intake.
The Q ENERGYspa does not have this harmful effect on the body,
but rather helps it retain what is needful and lose what is not,
thereby enabling it to maintain itself at a higher level. We all
should do likewise.
