My Funny Picture

whats this weird alternative health machine?

So i work at an alternative health office and some weird things have come up. im gonna sound crazy but, there is this little machine hooked up to a computer with software listing electronic pulses and ailments its curing. then on top of the machine is a picture face down of the person being treated. the person is physically no where near the building. i was told to enter in a command every 15 minutes to send a "zap" to the patient . what the heck is this voodoo crap?! i feel like a freakin' episode of lost.

1. Umm I honestly don't know. How long have you been working at this job? It sounds like a bunch of nut cases.. lol I'd get out of there if I were you. Or if you know anyone else really well that works there I'd ask them what it is. It sounds really weird..
2. That is one of the most long running scams in the history of alternative medicine. It sounds like a variation of the "Rife machine", though usually the person is at the machine itself, though I suppose since it's ineffective in person, you might as well be able to send it through transdimensional space/power lines/the internet. Anyway. Rife was a fellow who built microscopes about a hundred years ago. He made a number of nutty claims, including that he could see viruses with his microscopes (which is a physical impossibility, the wavelength of visible light is too large to resolve a virus). And including that he could use radiowaves to kill specific pathogens, and that ever pathogen had a specific frequency. This sort of quackery has actually gotten the people selling it sued, and occasionally gotten a few people prison sentences.
