Best answer:

Answer by Matt
Really, you are going to waste both your time and money on something that not only does not work, but there is not a single shred of believable thought behind how it could work? Get your lolo into conventional treatment and save your time and money from this silly quackary.

You want me to explain myself? About what. Quantum Pulse and Bio Charger machines are a joke. They exist solely to separate the gullible and the despirate from their money, at best. At worst, they take genuinely sick people and delay them in getting actual medical attention, which in the case of a cancer patient, may mean that the patient goes from a treatable early stage to an untreatable late stage cancer while they are grasping at straws.

“There is no scientific evidence that cells vibrate as Koonce claims or that the body’s health can be improved by exposure to weak electromagnetic fields.”

“In April 2008, the FDA notified Koonce that the V.I.B.E. Machine could not be legally marketed in interstate commerce. Not long afterward, he changed its name to QuantumPulse. In July 2008, the QuantumPulse Web site listed 157 “QuantumPulse Centers” in the United States and 15 in other countries. Some of the proprietors are licensed as health professionals; others are not. Some operate salons where the device is used to “mobilize toxins” and an “ionic foot bath” device is claimed to take the toxins out of the body. Koonce claimed that he is in the process of seeking FDA approval. However, he cannot possibly get it because he cannot provide adequate evidence of effectiveness.

“In October 2008, the FDAWeb site announced that Vibe Technologies had issued a Class 1 Recall of the VIBE Machine. The recall included a certified letter to each customer who had purchased the device to stop using it as a medical device, to stop promoting or claiming that the VIBE Machine is a medical device, and to destroy any VIBE literature making medical claims.”

Steve Jobs is a perfect example of people who die because they delay conevntional treatment while searching out alternative cures. While pancreatic cancer is very hard to defeat, he went from having a real but small chance to having no chance because he went after alternative cures and magical thinking, and he regretted it before he died.
