There has been so many net-working schemes and most of them scams.
Last week, a nother networking scheme was introduced to me and as usual, I don't just get carried away with any networking offer right away. I want to be convinced with the product/service first before I should be convinced to join in the group.
Have you heard about this Clustered Water thing? The explanation about the product sounded so healthful. Scheme as usual was more or less like that of the other products but when I asked the presentor to show me the product, I was shocked! All I see is a clear bottle with label and seal and a clear water-looking liquid. And all these at P3,500 for the first purchase and P2,500 thereafter.
The company that is handling this business is called Clustered Cell Marketing. You can check it with SEC because its a single proprietorship.
The group claim that this is the website of their product http://www.clusteredwateronline.com but when I looked at the product pictures on line, they looked different from what I saw in real life.
Can somebody share ensights about this?

You have to admire the creativity of some people. P3,500 for water?

I will leave it to the medical practitioners and scientists here to prove or disprove the efficacy of such a magic liquid. Intuitively, though, it would seem to me that if such a product was so good at doing what is claimed it could do, the scientific community should have taken notice by now.

In schemes such as these, skepticism is suggested. Please ask for more information - as much as you can tolerate.

"Clustered water" (CW, also sometimes called "revitalized" or "living" water) is the term used by various hucksters and hypemeisters to market a kind of 21st century snake oil to a scientifically illiterate segment of the public that is easily dazzled by pseudoscientific nonsense and promises of self-empowerment, restoration of health , youth, and vigor. At my age I would not mind re-aquiring some of the latter myself, but as a retired Chemistry prof, I strongly resent the misuse of my favorite science for any purpose, and particularly to promote the sales of worthless nostrums. The purpose of this Web page is not so much to convince you that CW is a fraud (mere facts seldom deter True Believers), but rather to acquaint those whose Chemistry is a bit rusty with the scientific facts as they are presently understood, thus providing you with the information you need to make your own rational decision on the matter. To those who resent having their Faith questioned, or who are put off by comments from know-it-all scientists, I apologize in advance; please direct your hate mail to FlushWell@cloaca.org!
