Has anyone tried this product?

This aqua ionizer sounds like the greatest product since sliced bread,but has anyone seen it work?

Sounds like snake oil to me. I'd like to see what Randy has to say about their claims.

Do a search on it, it is hilarious.

I was thinking the same thing,but I was told by doctors that a blood clot I had developed after knee surgery would always be in my leg & I would have to take Coumadin (this drug prevents further clots but does not completely dissolve old clots) the rest of my life, but I researched on line found a product called Nattokinase ( a fermented soy bean product) and I went off my blood thinners and dissolved my clot. The Doppler tech that confirmed my blood clot was gone said he had NEVER seen anything like it and wrote down the name of the product. Also the blood thinners had given me heartburn and my doctor wanted to put me on Prilosec, instead I did my own research and found that a raw diet would heal my body and I have not had heartburn since.

Long story short I no longer believe people that have financial interest in my health or the health of my pets. My dogs both eat raw organic diets and they have never been healthier. So naturally when I see a product that could help me get rid of the ONLY chemicals left in my house (those for my fish tanks, since I clean my whole house with vinegar and food grade hydrogen peroxide) I am willing to believe.

I did plenty of online searching and it seems the positives outweigh the negative reviews, so I thought maybe someone had tried the product?

Same thing as the AquaEqualizer, it is magnets that water flows through. In the 70's you could get the same thing from J.C. Whitney that claimed a 20% increase in gas mileage. If you want to have some fUn, post the question in the Chemistry Forum.

My doctor laughed at me when I used that fermented soybean product to dissolve my blood clot, but then I made him look like a fool.

The whole "snake oil" comparison where experts deny without really having knowledge of whether something works or not. Don't get me wrong, I have no idea if this product is any good (it sounds to good to be true). But if I didn't believe in a better mousetrap I would be on two poisonous drugs for the rest of my life, instead I tried to find a better way that my doctor thought was crap and it has saved my health and possibly my life. So the parallel is believing something can work that the status quo says wont.

It's not really snake oil, closer to wrapping tinfoil around your head to prevent mind control. I am a believer in non traditional treatments, I don't think this is the same thing though.

Michael Scott could have used that tin foil in the movie dinner with shmucks

It would be nice to never have to make a water change although I think last months tank of the month did very little waters changes, so it is possible for some?

I guess if I want an answer to my question I will have to gamble the 90 bucks, although they do say a money back guarantee

It's only money, be sure and report back how successful you are, either with the product or getting your money back.
