I ave seen a real dowsing rod in action. In the hands of a skilled user it can find large, buried metalic objects like pipes, storage tanks, etc. by picking up changes in the local magnetic field. but that stuff, LOL

Dowsing rods work...but not because of the rod, because of the dowser. This isn't something that needs to be proven or have an equation behind it...it just works and has for 100's of years.

AND, if you ever get to witness a dowser doing the voo-doo that he do so well...the first time will freak you plum out and you will swear he's pulling your leg (that HE is turning the rod (or willow branch - a lot of water dowsers use willow branches - forked like a pulley bone off a chicken breast) himself. But he's not - and when there's water there...it kind of proves the method.

I also saw a documentary once on people who are able to dowse for minerals using a pendulum and a map - and they have an extremely high success rate.

Pretty weird stuff.

Dowsing rods can be made from a metal hanger.

Just bend them in an L-shaped form. The bottom part just enough to hold with your hands.

I read about the neurophone coming out of a lab years ago...it supposedly does work but whether that one works or not I dunno, the Kirlean photography has been done so it should work, and of course the polygraph...but the rest of that stuff looks like snake oil...IMHO

OK I want one of those Hyper Dimensional Resonator thingys. Instant astral projection anywhere in time and space.I just can't afford the $590 price tag

I don't know about that. Perhaps I was using the wrong term. The "dowsing rod" in question was a light metal rod counter ballanced and on a swivel so that it could rotate and align to the magnetic fields of the buried pipe.

Well, I know there are manufactured rods. My point is, that a true dowser (this is called "witching" here in Indian Territory) can do it with a tree branch.

Thanks for the replies, but what about the other stuff like the goggles with lights and stuff? The idea of pulsing the brain with those flashes is an interesting one.

Oh well, someday if I get cash to burn I will just buy everything from all those websites and if it doesn't work unlike other people that just choose to accept it and move on I'll make a site and spread info about what scams they are. But that is if they dont work.

Some of that could cause epileptic seizures. Should read about that first.
