I saw this website about a year ago.  Reading through it all I found were
testimonials but no testing.

I would naturally enough expect that it probably doesn't work - wearing
finger ring and toe (clamp) magnets to maintain youth and health.

Sounds like a bad joke.

IF someone could do some testing to indicate a positive response, that would
be a small, faltering step toward determining if there were any truth to
these claims.

At the same time lack of evidence is not proof one way OR the other.

A suspension of belief is as important as a suspension of disbelief if we
want to ever find the truth about anything.

I also try to avoid assuming someone is purposely choosing to delude others
simply because self delusion is such a worldwide, common human trait.

I do not know Alex Chiu's motives.  And I know better than to merely trust
my common sense on dismissing weird claims.  Otherwise I would be forced to
STILL assume that Alain Aspect is a scam artist for demonstrating Bell's
Theorum to work, as well as every physicist in the world who has published
evidence for the apparent dual nature of light and other subatomic
"particles" as both wave and particle.  Quantum physics simply doesn't make
common sense but that doesn't mean it's a scam!

I don't mean to suggest someone needs to test Alex Chiu's claims.

I'm actually only suggesting that just because somethng doesn't seem
plausible it does NOT mean:

(1) It's a lie.
(2) It's a hoax.

Just my opinion,
