Comments on: Are Dr. Masaru Emoto’s Fantastic Claims Actually Real? http://is-masaru-emoto-for-real.com Open minded critical analysis of Masaru Emoto Wed, 04 Jan 2012 02:55:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Dario http://is-masaru-emoto-for-real.com/#comment-1063 Dario Wed, 04 Jan 2012 02:55:47 +0000 http://is-masaru-emoto-for-real.com/?page_id=2#comment-1063 Your actual work does not actually prove that Mr. Emoto's work is true or not. I was expecting to read something more substantial or even a true "Scientific" research, but you have not done so, what you only have done is trying to disprove the published work by Emoto. Peer review is not actually a real scientific method of proving something or not as any incoming theory has to be accepted by the common peers and again is subject to bias. The peer review is just a terrible way for the science to advance and it is the reason why discoveries are being made by "outsiders" rather than "scientists". Peer review has just become a sort of religion or dogma, and a way of getting funded to do scientific research you have to go with the accepterd theory however nonsensical it might be. Again, it would have been interesting to see your own research on this subject and that you fixed all the problems in the research you found on Mr. Emoto, but maybe you were not brave enough to do it as it may have brought ridicule into your research career. It is very sad that the scientists are now becoming pseudoscientists and selling the people a dogma rather than a true discovery, we are seeing now that the discoveries are being made by others, but yet this is what has happened before and we have plenty of evidence of this in the past, just remember Galileo and others.

"I set off to conduct a research project in the chemistry department of Castleton College in Vermont to see if I could find sufficient evidence and support for Dr. Emoto’s claims to merit conducting a deeper research project to try to reproduce his work." then you say theres no point after you see some flaws in his method. Correct the flaws in the method and do the study!!!!! Please! Its kind of disrespectfull to do the bait and switch.

Look with you're eye lids slightly closed because this cuts down the amount of sunlight that enters the eyes.You will be superised.Read Radionics by David V. Tansley D.C.With a forward by Dr Ian C.B.

Im studying psichology and i cant say that i am scientist at all. But i would like to ask you what do you think of the of neuroplasticity of the neurons? A book by scientist Norman Doidge, called The Brain That Changes Itself, based on clinical research, claims that our atitude can change the way the brain works by slightly changing its phisiological "determinants" ...its like, parts of brains damaged by strokes that are not capable to carry out its functions anymore are replaced by other parts through specific practices and these other parts become able to perform tasks they werent supposed to, according to the nature of the biology that determines its functions(we have specific areas of the brain associated to specific tasks like smelling, seeing or tasting that are not supposed to be able to do otherwise; we can only make a "tasting-neuron" become a "seeing-neuron" by sending it information to do so)). My point is, if what Norman Doidge's claims are true( and i believe that there is some scientificity into its work), then isnt that proof that atitude can change biology? And what about the neuropsychoimunology, a phenomenon widely studied? In this case, somehow, our perception of the world, that results in a specific state of humor, influences our imuno-activity; the better the humor, the better our imunitary system works(i think this is something widely accepted even without knowledge of the research to it). There is an important control group in the clinical research made about the subject: the group is the group of the widows. Widows live in constant grief and sorrow after the departure of their loved ones and there is clinical data showing that the rates of cancer and other complicated diseases are more high in these group than in the general population. And again my question, isnt this some proof that our thought is affecting our biology? The problem about skepticism is that, besides just being critic(wich is more easy than being creative) and not taking risks, it also castrates people's attempts to be creative instead of encouraging the test of all possibilities. And dont get me wrong, im not being personal here, its just my perspective of what skepticism is. Cheers Nice comment, very well organized idea.

I can't believe there are scientists out there who are so stupid! Of course our thoughts create our reality. Good Lord what are we all made of?Everything is a buzzing vibratory frequency and if more people read Dr Emoto's book on water what a better planet earth this would be!

Regardless of studies and counterpoints, I have no doubt that positive thoughts and positive energy can manifest positive things in the world. So studies and arguments against them make no difference to me. I don't need anyone else to tell me what really matters in life. Let's face it, there is no such thing as unbiased research. And that is because science explains very little about the universe (contrary to what the Age of Enlightenment would have us believe, which by the way was an extremely recent and short period in the history of mankind). A study that seemingly answers one question will lead to numerous new questions. I choose to trust myself. I am a scientist at heart and a lover of chemistry and physics, but I am also very spiritual, and I am well aware that these two topics are much more intertwined than post-Enlightenment society wants to admit or face. People might not say it out loud, but many will admit to me when prompted behind closed doors that they have beliefs or experiences that would seem "crazy" to others. It's sad that humans have so much knowledge of the spirit that lies within, but a short period in history has caused us to turn away from our own intuition--to put down eons of knowledge of Native peoples of every continent and nation--and instead depend on others to do the thinking for us and tell us what is and what isn't and what we should believe and what we shouldn't based on "research", and that it's somehow unacceptable to admit to having beliefs that many others share behind closed doors! I hope I am making sense. I've enjoyed the comments I've read so far, whether I've agreed or not.
