ORIGINAL: heartcream "...After the lengthy review of Emoto’s research methods and results, I have come to believe that Dr. Emoto is offering pseudoscience to the masses in the guise of defensible research. Only time and review by others will tell if there is any truth at the heart of Mr. Emoto’s claims, as Emoto himself thoroughly believes in his findings but does not value the scientific method or community. What is truly fearsome is the great numbers of people that accept his words as proven facts without looking deeper to find out if his claims are truly justified. While I respect Dr. Emoto’s desire to save the Earth’s water from contamination and pollution, unless he can produce a scientific paper and get it published in a scientific journal, I believe that he will continue to be ignored by the scientific community, and his claims will never be soundly proved or disproved." Kristopher Setchfield, BA, Health Science Natural Science Department Castleton State College, Vermont Okay well, so that is something. I dont know what the truth of it all just like the author here does not either. It is another one of those que sera sera things. Time will tell many things. I do believe we can affect change for the better with our intent. I like to think there is validity in Emoto's work with water. Until someone takes the time to test this with the scientific method we will not know, will we? Here is something that is interesting, the review you posted is from someone with a BA degree. I would expect someone with a PhD in chemistry, or some related field, to review his work. I have a BA degree, and only need to finish writing my thesis to get my MA, and I would not expect the scientific community to take my words about anyone as a serious critique.... Perhaps you should search more before you give up in the validity of Dr. Masaru's work
