The first one I heard about was Q-link and it was advertised heavily several years ago on Jeff Rense' radio show. If you are not familiar with Jeff Rinse, he has a web site where you can listen to his show JeffRense.com. I had a Q-link pendant and wore it for a long time, but was never convinced it did anything.

The newest thing I have seen along this line is the Q-ray bracelet that is advertised to make you "feel better." Talk about vague! I am more savvy than I used to be and more skeptical, and I didn't bite. I think placebo is a fair guess about how it would help someone. I don't know anyone who has a Q-ray bracelet but I do know someone who has a Q-link pendant (the fancy, expensive version) and swears by it.

The whole gadget world is a bit too good to be true to my way of thinking. A friend of mine had an electrical thing (for about $500!) that you plug in and immerse in water and put your feet in with it for half an hour. The water turns an awful shade of greenish black - supposed to be impurities coming out of you. After you use it a while, the electrodes are completely corroded up and useless. I suspect that whatever electrochemical process caused the color change came from the electrodes and not the person's feet.

I believe in dowsing, because I think it comes from the dowser's subconscious mind which probably has some psychic connections to something in the zero point field. Perhaps muscle testing is rooted in the same process. But gadgets just don't do it for me.
