The strange case of supernatural water
Florida tested ‘Celestial Drops’ to see if they warded off citrus canker

Florida's citrus crop contributes billions of dollars to the state's economy, so when that industry is threatened, anything that might help is considered. Back in 2001, when citrus canker was blighting the crop and threatening to reduce that vital source of revenue, an interesting — if not quite scientific — alternative was considered.

Katherine Harris, then Florida's secretary of state — and now a member of the U.S. House of Representatives — ordered a study in which, according to an article by Jim Stratton in the Orlando Sentinel, "researchers worked with a rabbi and a cardiologist to test ‘Celestial Drops,' promoted as a canker inhibitor because of its ‘improved fractal design,' ‘infinite levels of order,' and ‘high energy and low entropy.'"

The study determined that the product tested was, basically, water that had apparently been blessed according to the principles of Kabbalic mysticism, "chang its molecular structure and imbu it with supernatural healing powers."

then certainly water blessed by a Rabbi can cure citrus blight.

Phase 1- Collect underpants
Phase 2- ?
Phase 3- Profit

Phase 1- Holy water
Phase 2- ?
Phase 3- No more citrus blight

Phase 1- Gay marriage
Phase 2- ?
Phase 3- Civilization destroyed

Republicans seem to have a genetic disorder that makes them susceptible to magical thinking.

defeating you for senate in 06 is going to be that much easier now!:thumbsup:

LMAO. Hell, I know hippie holistic healers that wouldn't fall for that one.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! You're killing me! ROFLAOOOOOOOOOOO!

and hold each one up to their forehead until they find one that vibrated properly with their psyche :)

to what God had in mind.

180

maybe they only cure citrus canker.

I change fractals frequently. the current one is by Terry Wright and is called Majoring In Philosophy

Harris was probably pocketing some of the money. it's the bushgang way.

This quack from France claimed to have proven this years ago - that you could dilute something over and over again and the water would retain a "memory" of the active ingredient, even if there was almost a zero probability of there being even a single molecule left in solution.

If you lose your car keys in the snow, you can wait for Spring, then start your car with a few drops of seawater.

That would be great if it also worked for jock itch.

I want to douse my body in water that Madonna used, did you see her book? She's been around.

This is just another tactic to funnel money from the state. It's disgusting. Tax payers should be outraged.

to positions of importance?

In Iran.

To me.

They damn near own the whole town.

which is what these bastards have done to most of the backyard growers in South Florida.

crops they are destroying the trees that are not in the tree farms? The ones that would be more likely to have and to develop resistance to what would wipe out the orchards?

That's nuts!

To a Republican, it makes as much sense as "fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here."

Someone is misleading Katherine Harris.

Now if you anoint citrus cankers with chicken soup (not canned, only home-made by Jewish bubbas)and, you must admonish the orange tree saying something like: "You look sick. Here, take some of mine soup, bubbalah, and get this ugly canker off your back. Don't run around. Keep your bark zipped up tight. And no kvetching."

:)

At least the M$M is finally reporting on the miracle water.


:eyes:

I got some of that.

What are they selling theirs for? I'll undercut them.

Straight from my blessed goldfish pond.
