Commentators have criticized Emoto for insufficient experimental controls,[9] and for not sharing enough details of his approach with the scientific community.[10] In addition, Emoto has been criticized for designing his experiments in ways that leave them open to human error influencing his findings.
In the day-to-day work of his group, the creativity of the photographers rather than the rigor of the experiment is an explicit policy.[12] Emoto freely acknowledges that he is not a scientist,[13] and that photographers are instructed to select the most pleasing photographs.[14]
In 2003, James Randi publicly offered Emoto one million dollars if his results can be reproduced in a double-blind study.
In 2005, Kristopher Setchfield (a graduate of Castleton State College in Vermont with a BA in Health Science) published a paper[16] that analyzed deeper motives regarding Emoto's study. In his paper, Setchfield writes,
Unfortunately for his credibility with the scientific community, Dr. Emoto sells products based on his claims. For example, the products page of Emoto's Hado website is currently offering "geometrically perfect" "Indigo water" that is "highly charged hexagonally structured concentrate," and supposedly creates "structured water" that is "more easily assimilated at the cellular level" for $35 for an eight-ounce bottle. Without providing scientific research references for the allegedly amazing qualities of his Indigo Water, Emoto's commercial venture calls to mind ethical concerns regarding his intent and motivation—questions that would not be present if any scientist had published research supporting his claims.
In 2006, Emoto published a paper together with Dean Radin and others in the journal Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing. They describe that in a double blind test approximately 2000 people in Tokyo could increase the aesthetic appeal of water stored in a room in California, compared to water in another room, solely through their positive intentions.
[edit]Triple-blind study
A better-controlled "triple-blind" follow-up study published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration did not yield positive results. More than 1,900 of Mr. Emoto's followers focused gratitude on water bottles in a vault over a period of three days. The water was then frozen and compared to two different sets of controls in a very elaborate protocol. Crystals from all three groups were not, on average, considered to be particularly beautiful (scoring 1.7 on a scale of 0 to 6, where 6 was very beautiful). Crystals from the experimental group were also rated slightly less beautiful than a set of controls. An objective comparison of contrast did not reveal any significant differences among the samples...
...Physician Harriet A. Hall writes, about the ideas of Emoto, that "This watery fantasy is all very entertaining and imaginative, full of New Age feel-good platitudes, holistic oneness, consciousness raising, and warm fuzzies; but it's hard to see how anyone could mistake it for science."
[edit]
Hebrew, Sanskrit, Chinese, Egyptian, Tibetan - all these are considered sacred languages. In recent experiments with sound and its effect on matter, one experimenter found that when sand was placed on a plate and the plate was vibrated at various frequencies, the sand reacted by forming various patterns. When the vowels of Hebrew and Sanskrit languages were spoken, the sand took the exact shape of actual written vowels used in those languages. This is very significant in that the ancients must have known secrets about sound and its effect on the environment that we have lost in the present day. If you have read other pages on this site, you already know that it is suspected that sound was used to lift the heavy blocks to build the pyramids (a feat we cannot duplicate even today), and that sound is also strongly suspected as being the catalyst in crop circle formation.

I saw this with water in one "documentary" - "What the bleep do we know" I think it was called. But I have also seen it in other ones where he put notes of "Love" and "Hate" on water glasses and froze them down and after he looked through a microscope. Surprisingly the ones he put the note "Love" on came out with perfect geometrical shaped crystals while the ones with hate had all messed up ones. To me it's just proof on how everything is a vibration of sound and how we are affected by different sources(Say TV,Wireless Internet, Radio, Cell Phone Towers, Music, Words) etc.
For some reason, my heart just sank thinking of all the innocent animals science experiments on.
They isolate monkeys ...from birth!!!.....just to see how it interacts in 'society' once he's introduced to others.
You know, I think science does a lot more harm than good.

They also do the same to humans. Although nobody seems to care about this.

You see, I don't think it's the words rather the true intent.
This experiment says: place three bowls of cooked rice in the refrigerator for a month ----- each day stopping by giving praise to one bowl.-------negativity to the other------and the third one, ignore all together.
it'll react positively because your energy field and intent was positive.
Things can't differentiate between words. But it can feel vibes/intent/truth.
Words are nothing. They're man-made letters thrown together. Nature doesn't respond to our 6000 different dialects in the world but rather the one true element, truth.
So it ain't the spoken word...it's the heartfelt intent.
I bet this experiment would work with no words spoken at all just....telepathy/thought.

I think it was the bible that says words are a living spirit. In a manner of speaking, all knowledge is literally alive within us vying for attention. Some gets more attention than othes and some gets burried deep down below other dominant thoughts. A single powerful idea can completely transform a soul. And I read somewhere else that a spoken word will exist for eternity.
Words are power.
