Gwangi Valley - Lost Blog of the Gwangi

Where dinosaurs are extinct, crystals aren’t magic and the Earth is more than 6,000 years old.

    Beware: Non-apologetic skepticism, science and rational thinking rules here.

    Do you believe the Loch Ness monster is real, that there may be a hidden valley full of living dinosaurs somewhere, that pads on your feet will draw out 'toxins' or that crystals will heal you? Well, if you do, no matter if you're a Raelian or a thalian or a Baptist... you're kind of an idiot. There? Does that set the tone of this blog well enough? The 21st century is no place for hoky ancient mysticism and old wives' tales. Grow up or grow extinct.

PAPIMI - EPFX - PAP-IMI (Got that search engines?)
Posted in pseudoscience, quackery by Ella at 5:47 pm | Email This Post Email This Post

If you came here because you found a link on a search engine while looking for information about theĀ PAPIMI/PAPI-MI machine or the EPFX or are intrigued by the notion of strapping some metal to your head and throwing the switch on some high voltage , I have just what you’re looking for!

Here’s all you need to know: It’s pure all pure rubbish. And it could bloody well kill you. The machines are dangerous, useless and the FDA has taken action (slow, but sure action). Even if some endlessly scrolling website tells you that FDA approval is pending or around the bend or something was approved or cleared… For the love of all that’s good and not a charred lump… please don’t fall for this. If you really want to throw away your money on something that will not cure you of anything but a too-full wallet, send the cash to me and I’ll let you sit in my bath tub with a toaster. It’s up to you if you put the toaster in the water or not, though.
