    Tehran has run dry -- maybe Israel can help?

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/day-zero-tehran-10-million-101042461.html If the Government of Iran would reach out to the Israelis, it's likely that Israel water tech and expertise would be offered. After all, the Israeli experience helping with water shortages is legendary, to anyone who...

    Hydrogen rich water

    An acquaintance of mine has recently been talking about the health benefits of hydrogen rich water, how it supposedly slows the aging process. Products like this, for example: https://www.amazon.com/Hydrogen-Rich-Water-Machine-Cup/dp/B01HLAYXHC Is there anything to this, or just woo?

    Is "activated hydrogen water" real or fake?

    I'm trying to figure out if this company's product is legitimate, but I lack the scientific knowledge to make an informed judgment. Some of the wording on their website seems suspicious. Could someone who understands chemistry please take a look and give me your thoughts? Thank you in advance.

    Should this worry me?

    Massaging: Does it release toxins?

    Ms. Tricky, like lots of people, is a big fan of massages. She has a friend who is a massage therapist. Her friend, and other massage therapists I've known, claim that by massaging you it causes your body to release toxins that have accumulated in your tissues. They always advise "drink a lot...

    Masaru Emoto, MDC and extraordinary claims

    I did a search and found only two small threads, which was a bit surprising considering how popular Emoto's work (especially the book The Hidden Messages in Water) is in the New Age circles. I didn't want to resurrect an old thread from MDC, so here we go. I decided to collect some of the latest...

    Re-using plastic water bottles causes CANCER!!!1!!

    So, I'm sure this has been done to death in some thread I can't find, the ones I could find involve microwaving plastic, which has been debunked. My roommate is convinced that me refilling my water bottle is going to give me cancer, she says her grandfather got cancer for this same reason and...

    Why are clouds white?

    Water is, as far as I know, a very pale blue. So why do clouds, consisting of fine water drops, appear white? Is it that water only filters out the blue fraction of light passing through, but affects reflected light differently, or are clouds actually blue, but the much deeper blue of the...

    Water: a video full of woo

    Here's what looks like 80 minutes of woo, all about water: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2933349021550318008 I didn't have the courage to look past the first few minutes: the fact that the first person to be interviewed is Rustum Roy was enough to put me off. I then started fast...

    How much water is it safe to drink per day?

    A friend of mine has started Robert O. Young's alkaline diet and is drinking a lot of water every day. She does a bit of yoga, but no sports. I'd like to know how much water she can drink per day before it gets dangerous, and what are the possible risks. I understand that she drinks quite a lot...

    Silver in water

    Hi Guys, Hopefully someone can help. My Mum puts a piece of silver in drinking tap water when she keeps it in the fridge (or whereever) she said that silver keeps water clean and doesn't make it go stale. She said it's been used for ages and so on... Does anyone know anything about this...

    Need Help with Randomizing for Experiment

    I'm trying to set up a proper experiment. A friend of ours believes that praying for water will make it "better" and that plants watered with prayed for water will do better than plants that are watered with normal water - ie, not prayed for water. His original suggestion was to have two...

    Dean Kamen's Water Purifier

    Just saw Dean Kamen (inventor of the Segway) on the Colbert Report demonstrating his water purifier. He claims that it will remove "any impurities" from water and produce 1000 liters per day of "distilled" water. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2006/02/dean_kamen_sequ.php There are many...

    Small Comet bombardment of Earth!

    It sounds like a Science Fiction story, but in reality it was more like a warzone, which for those familiar with Internet Forums, should be no surprise. If I had the time I would type out the story here, making it dramatic and painful to read, much like the real events that led up to the...

    My Crazy Theory Why Water Has No Flavor

    Hello all. Long time lurker, first time poster. I was up early (for me) and a tad bored, so I thought I would post my pet theory on a potential connection between water and evolution and see what people here thought of it. Theory is a bit strong really, since my academic background is...

    Warm water

    I've heard that you should always drink lukewarm water. If you drink cold water, the body has to expend energy to warm it up so that it can be properly absorbed. You urinate less often because the water is more efficiently absorbed by the cells when the water is warm. This sounds like a load...

    bad thoughts make water bad

    Yesterday my 11 year old daughter came home from school in Melbourne Australia telling me that her teacher told the class that bad words and negative thoughts directed at a bottle of water would make it taste bad while good thoughts and even positive messages on a sticker put on a bottle would...

    Drinking Water: Distilled or Mineral?

    Okay, I live in Hong Kong where it's not a terribly good idea to drink the tap water because in some older buildings it quite often runs yellowish (on a good day) to brown (on the bad ones). I know it's probably just sediment built up in the pipes, but, y'know. Ew. Anyway, I bought a hot/cold...

    Triangular wave technology

    I found some colleagues discussing the "Triangular Wave Technology" for getting rid of deposits inside water pipes. See the website http://www.triangularwave.com/ . In particular, have a look at http://www.triangularwave.com/a1b.htm . At the first glance this looks reasonable, they agitate...

    If 'water memory' was an actual phenomena...

    Imagine the real consequences! It always surprises me how narrowly focussed the homeopaths who believe in water memory are. Cold and flu remedies? Stuff that for a game of soldiers; how about water-based memories for mechanical or biomechanical devices? a forensics test kit that analyses...
