In fruitloopery鈥檚 house are many mansions
鈥淪OME of the notions that NES庐 is based on are quantum entanglement, information transfer and priority order鈥︹�� Given that NES stands for Nutri-Energetics System庐, can we guess what sort of stuff follows?

Oh, yes, we can. 鈥淣ES might be the first biotechnology that took into account the entanglement of the body with its environment through its body-field.鈥� We love that 鈥渕ight be鈥�. It might also be a banana鈥� 鈥淎 series of NES scans over time,鈥� continues a quote from a work entitled Decoding the Human Body-Field, 鈥渕ay be peeling back the layers of the holographic body-field, the information fields that record everything that has happened to the person over time and the effects of everything to which he or she has been exposed, and accessing the information stored in each layer.鈥�
As Maureen Evershed, who unearthed all this, points out, there is much, much more in this vein at , which gives a contact address on SW Wilson Avenue in Beaverton, Oregon. Cyber-stalking it, we find a largish suburban house with two cars in the drive, helpfully labelled on Google Maps, presumably by the occupant, as the home of 鈥淜angen Water鈥�. A further search reveals this as a brand of the 鈥渁lkaline water鈥� that led Feedback to add 鈥減H balance鈥� to our quantum-dominated list of fruitloop indicators (20 August 2011).
Pursuing the Feedback fascination with small print, we looked up the NES trademark. It was registered from what looks like an even nicer house in Poole, Dorset, UK. This opulence is not that surprising. Maureen reports a friend being charged 拢45 for an NES scanning session. What鈥檚 that, exactly? It seems you simply place your hand on the scanner, a device that to us looks like a computer mouse. Within seconds, , 鈥渢he computer reads your energy field鈥� and displays what looks like a roughly coloured-in version of Leonardo da Vinci鈥檚 human-in-a-circle image. Then your NES practitioner recommends some Infoceuticals庐 at 拢12 a pop, in the case of Maureen鈥檚 friend.
Visiting the Natural History Museum in London recently, David Jenkins was interested to learn from a display that Tyrannosaurus rex was as heavy as 200 10-year-old children
INFOCEUTICALS? Upon discovering this term on the Optimum Body Energetics site explored above, 鈥淚 could not bring myself to read any more,鈥� says Maureen Evershed. We set our coffee machine to 鈥渆ffective鈥�, and ploughed on. Infoceuticals庐 鈥渁re not chemicals, herbs, or nutrients,鈥� we are informed. 鈥淭hey are not homeopathic remedies either鈥� Instead, they contain micro quantities of colloidal minerals whose subatomic structure has been scientifically 鈥榚ncoded鈥� with information needed to restore the integrity to the human body field.鈥�
Wonderful! A whole new field of fruitloopery, to us at least.
And there鈥檚 more. Locating the mother-site at , we discover that the company also offers 鈥淚mprinted Music鈥�. This is based on the idea that 鈥減hysicists speculate that information has a kind of substance that may be the most fundamental aspect of the universe鈥�.
Well, one Tom Stonier speculated along these lines in his (reviewed on 27 October 1990). Most physicists don鈥檛. Almost none would part with $19.95 for a CD of music 鈥渂ased on the keynotes for archetypal healing modes鈥�.
A FRIEND has sent Feedback a page bearing a dramatic illustration of the differences between temperature scales. It shows three parallel, horizontal lines. Each runs from 鈥�0掳鈥� on the left to 鈥�100掳鈥� on the right.
The first line is labelled 鈥淔ahrenheit鈥�. On this line, 0掳 is described as 鈥淩eally cold outside鈥� and 100掳 as 鈥淩eally hot outside鈥� The line beneath is labelled 鈥淐elsius鈥�. Here, 0掳 is 鈥淔airly cold outside鈥� and 100掳 is 鈥淒ead鈥�. The bottom line is labelled 鈥淜elvin鈥�. On this line, 0掳 and 100掳 are both labelled 鈥淒ead鈥�.
鈥淕ETS you drunk in an instant鈥� is the headline on a story that Joseph McConnell kindly directs us to (). Published on the 脺bergizmo website, it reports on a mouth spray that will 鈥渉elp folks get drunk in a jiffy鈥�. The manufacturer also claims, it says, that 鈥渢he degree of 鈥榟arm鈥� is limited since you would sober up just as fast鈥�.
Feedback hasn鈥檛 road-tested this device, so we don鈥檛 know if these surprising claims stack up. But its name doesn鈥檛 inspire confidence: 鈥淲ahh Quantum Sensations鈥�.
YET another manifestation of fruitloopery emerges from Feedback鈥檚 piling system in the shape of a note from Phillip Whettlock suggesting we take a look at the 鈥淕astric Band Hypnosis鈥� advertised on .
Phillip wonders what other surgical procedures might be better left all in the mind. Ear-piercing hypnosis, anyone?
FINALLY, Eleanor Mayfield could not resist telling us about an article in Mayo Clinic Proceedings () reporting a pilot study that used social media to recruit people to a clinical trial. The first author of the paper is Marysia Tweet.
