Refrigerator Crystal
The Refrigerator eCrystal promises to extend the life of food items. Refrigerator eCrystal is basically a colorless crystal that you put on top of your food items or anywhere in the refrigerator to enhance the life supporting energies of foods and beverages. No longer will you need to waste money by throwing out your food the website advertizes. They state that “all food can lasts much longer...most products today has little to no energy remaining when purchased” they continue by stating that this product will help not only preserve the energy of the items but also increase the energy and all you have to do is sit back and “watch food energy go MANY TIMES HIGHER and last many days longer before spoiling”. It should also be noted that they also suggest that the eCrystal can be used for other reasons, including but not limited to treating sick pets, ADD, ADHD, to clean water and can be attached to your computer and TV for better performance.

The eCrystal advertizes “facts” which are baseless. The claims that are made by eCrystal are overreaching and simply bogus. First, there is no independent confirmation of the “facts” whatsoever. They use scientific phrases like “clinically proven” or “scientific studies have shown” and the person selling these types of products is referred to as “The Water Doctor” in order to gain credentials; this is a classic argument from authority. The website states many results that they claim are true regarding their product but they fail to cite any studies that have been done by them or anyone else that may support their numbers or claims. Needless to say, there is no outside verification of any claims made by them. The website seems to imply that consumers should take their word for it, even though there clearly is a strong case of bias; as they stand to greatly benefit from selling this product.

The eCrystal makes several extraordinary claims about their product (i.e. increase the energy of food items; treat ADD, ADHD and clean water better). First, if this eCrystal could achieve all of these things then this product would have been much more sought-after, expensive and a hot research topic. The website does offer open-forum, so people who have tried the product can submit their comments, but from reading all of the five comments on the webpage they all seems to endorse the eCrystal, there seems to be no room in their website for arguments against this product.

This case is a no brainer for most people and most should realize that this is not how the worlds works, and that that is not what we know about the world. Taking a eCrystal made of some type of colorless rock and sitting back and watching food gain more energy or using it to treat serious disorders is an irresponsible claim. Given the neglect of the scientific method in this case, the website ignores possible risks from using eCrystal while ignoring other viable alternatives. There is no peer reviewed scientific evidence that crystal healing has any effect. It has been called a pseudoscience. Pleasant feelings or seeming successes of crystal healing can be attributed to the placebo effect, or the believers wanting it to be true and seeing only things that back that up; cognitive bias. The evidence presented by the website does not in any way follow the scientific method, and the basis of this eCrystal is baseless. Until real scientific research emerges in support of this product, it should simply be considered as pseudoscience.
