Sorry if this has been discussed before, but in a brief search, I couldn't find it.

Aulterra is a homeopathically activated combination of natural paramagnetic and diamagnetic elements which neutralize the effect of man-made EMF exposure on human DNA.

People. Actually. Buy. This. Crap.

You too can make a mint because A) there's a sucker born every second (or less) and B)nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the general public. Truly rules to live by.

These are not original - but have been constantly verified by actual experience of this observer.

"Noted DNA researcher Dr. Maria Syldona" only seems to have one paper indexed on pubmed, and it isn't about DNA.

Misattribution, actually.

The original source of the quote was a banker by the name of David Hannum, who was a victim of the Cardiff Giant hoax.

The full story here: P. T. Barnum Never Did Say "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute"

And, if you adjust for the changes in population and birth rate since 1870, it turns out that there are now approximately 2.4 suckers born every minute.

They're gaining on us.

"There is a sucker born every minute" (P. T. Barnum, 19th cen. Connecticut philosopher)...

Wrong. Barnum never said that. It was said by George Hannum, who bought the original faked Cardiff Man from farmer Hull. P.T. had faked a copy of the fake and got involved with a lawsuit with Hannem.
As a fellow Nutmegger, I have read a lot about old P.T.

Ooops. A bit late.
But Hannum was not a victim. He knew it was a hoax when he bought the original fake. He sued P.T. for faking the fake and saying he had the original and Hannum had the fake.
By the way, I saw the original fake at the Farmer's Museum in Cooperstown. Or maybe it was the fake fake. But you had to be pretty naive to think that that was a petrified giant.

Yes, a lot of people do buy this crap. My mother-in-law bought some "special" nightlights from an energy worker for $40 a piece. They were supposed to attract and absorb stray EMF's in our house and help us avoid getting sick. They were also supposed to lessen the power of ghosts, aliens and I'm sure numerous other evil things.
