The frequencies don't have to be new so much as understood.

NASA has concluded electromagnetic frequencies are actively healthy for humans, specifically promoting neural tissue regeneration, so try not to unilaterally dismiss everything crystal hippies say.

babies, bathwater, all that.

NASA's doing research right now with tvmf to develop cartilage regeneration as well.

throwing a magnet bracelet on isn't going to cure cancer, but magnetism has clinically significant effects on many basic physiological processes like the circadian rhythm and that's why it keeps being studied.

At this point people can believe in whatever they want as long as it doesn't harm anyone else. Someone believing in a bunch of crystals and burning their money on them is a lot less harmful than other beliefs that I won't mention.

I'm having a hard time with this. We don't know what we don't know and it takes a lot of undeserved confidence to say anything is for sure. Fermilab never found the god particle and we're pretty sure that exists. I'm not saying it's true, but you guys are being a little over confident. Think about all of the theories and hypothesis that have been altered or completely changed over time.

The "God particle" is the Higgs boson. They found it with the LHC.

This tells me you don't just not know how science works; you don't understand what science is.

Right, the fermi lab peeps were skeptical about ever finding it. LHC proved it. You're making my case.

This tells me you don’t just not know how science works; you don’t understand what science is.

Do you? It's a process of finding out. Have you proven that stones don't have an energy that we don't have the equipment to measure? The black and white in this thread is now becoming funny while spouting that you believe in the process.

If you know it's a process, then why would you criticize science for changing theories in response to new evidence?
