      I fucking hate this.

      Especially when they basically self-hypnosis themselves into the placebo affect and swear that their magic powdered crystal enema can fix everything.

        Yes, but those are dirty, brutish science rocks. Not special coloured crystals with the powers of emotional healing™, protection against negative auras™ or unseen life™, and the power to give a room or a house a positive atmosphere™.

        You know, the kind that those doctors (who totally know nothing at all!) don’t want you to know about because it’ll put them out of business.

          I use very nice quartz in my daily life, and if they would have cracks or so my day would definitely be ruined

          Replace them with colored glass for a week and see if anything happens. Then you can publish your results in Crystals Weekly if they work, or one of the science ones if they don’t.

          Don’t forget “promoting wellness”.

          I appreciate that we’re past the days when they could make specific claims and get away with it, though.
