One thought on “Amega Kirlian Photos”

   Now. Jeff .Jeff’s comment is cuouris in the way that comments from the ShooTaggers themselves are often cuouris. First of all, he begins by distancing himself from the product:• I’ve never seen these insect repellent magnetic card tags until today.’It’s a vaguely odd way of setting out. Whether he’s seen the ShooTags or not is surely quite irrelevant to the things he goes on to say. And it reminds me of something •••It is in fact a modus operandi of the ShooTaggers to assume the guise of disinterested third parties. I can’t say for sure that means anything much in relation to Jeff, but reading on he says: It’s entirely possible that ticks and fleas experience their world, and navigate through their world relying extensively on magnet field sensing.Who knows, maybe they can ’see’ magnetic fields.’Yes, indeed, Jeff. Perhaps that is the case. However, it is an entirely irrelevant case. Even if it were so (which is an assertion that requires some significant scientific substantiation in its own right) then, to prove that ShooTag even has the remotest basis for working, the next logical step is to show that interfering with that field actually affects the little buggers in some useful way. Then, the step after that is to demonstrate that there is a magnetic field around people or pets. Then, you need to show that this field interacts with the fleas the ticks via some plausible mechanism. Then the next step after that is to prove that interfering with that field causes a situation to arise where the fleas and ticks are repelled, rather than attracted, say, or caused to breed out of control, or any of a million other possibilities. Do you see how this works Jeff? Merely positing a possibility takes us no step closer to what’s actually happening. That’s the great thing about science by applying it, we can get closer to the truth, as my ongoing research into ShooTag has amply demonstrated.After all that, of course, we’d finally get to the crux of the matter. Even if you could establish that fleas and ticks (and other pests ShooTag can discriminate’ between them the makers claim, adding further complexity to your speculation; not only are there magnetic fields, but there are LOTS of different kinds of magnetic fields) navigate their world in this manner, then we go on to the problem of exactly how Shootag is supposed to do its thing.Jeff goes on to say: Could it be that these little magnetic cards, with their own active magnetic fields, have magnetic field shapes that could be mistaken as a predator ‘This falls right in line with the daffy doublespeak that comes out of the mouths of the ShooTag makers. As MomentumV pointed out, it’s the word active’ that does it that could be something straight from the ShooTag hype. Active’ magnetic fields, Jeff? Exactly how are they active? The fields on these cards are no more active than your American Express card. The weak magnetic field that sits on one of these strips is utterly dwarfed by environmental magnetism of just about every kind. By any definition, these are passive magnetic fields. Here, try this: get a compass. Hold your credit card next to it. Can you make it deflect the compass needle? Funny that. Now, hold a dime-store magnet near the compass. Wow! Lookit that! So tell me Jeff why shouldn’t I just tie a 10c magnet around my cat’s neck, rather than forking out 40 bucks for a ShooTag? (and the magnet has the extra advantage of lasting forever, unlike the ShooTag’s craptacular promise of up to’ four months, after which, by some other heretofore unexplained mechanism, the magnetism on the card somehow evaporates. It couldn’t possibly be that the ShooTag folks hope you’re stupid enough to believe they still work and will buy another one when the card expires’?).Oh, that’s right, because ShooTag has special magic words encoded on it! The makers of ShooTag have done all the science I’ve outlined above, figured out the magnetic language’ that tells fleas and ticks to take a hike, encoded it on a card in DEC-SIXBIT (because oh er yeah, well, let’s skip that bit) and completely bypassed the entire scientific community in doing so, even though such a thing would probably get them a Nobel Prize.And gee whiz, we haven’t even factored in the quantum bioenergetics, the use of Schumann resonances, the deployment of fractal geometry and the power of crystals which, according to the makers, are also in use. Alternately we could just apply Occam’s Razor to all this and say that all of the above is just guff, the supposed positive results noted on the ShooTag testimonials page are just down to poor observation and the damn thing simply doesn’t do anything at all.Still, I can always be convinced. All it would take is a very simple experiment and some good science.C’mon ShooTag where is it?
