This is my third post on ‘quantum resonance spectrometry’ (QRS), a very strange medical technology. In April I I blogged about a paper from a group of Chinese psychiatrists claiming that QRS can diagnose mental health problems.
Last week I reported that my post had inspired a Letter to the Editor questioning this claim and asking for details on how QRS works. In reply the authors said that “We know only as much as you about the work mechanism of QRS” and suggested that readers in search in details ought to consult the manufacture, “Tian Ji Quan Quantum Medical Science Development Research Institute” (http://www.tjqq.com/).
So I did. What I found was bizarre.
First off, tjqq.com is in Chinese so I browsed it in Google’s English translation. I was looking for information on what QRS actually does: how can magnets diagnose diseases? I didn’t find much. There are a few papers and clinical reports claiming amazing accuracy but none of them describe how QRS does it. I did however find something quite unexpected: tjqq.com don’t only sell medical equipment, they also sell water treatment devices. This device is some kind of quantum water filter that improves the quality of water using magnetic resonance:
