I used to have a section here called Heap, expanding on the theme of using all parts of the beast. The Heap was where I talked about the stuff that didn't work, or in more fundamental terms things I chewed but couldn't swallow. Since I reorganized here I haven't rebuilt the Heap, but the Aqua Chi tempts me to resurrect the trash section. It certainly belongs in it.

Let me start out by saying that $1595.00 plus shipping is way too much for a simple car battery charger. That's actually what the Aqua Chi is. Oh, sure, you get an instructional DVD and a tub to set the electronics in so hopefully you don't electrocute yourself with the footbath, but if you look at the housing you can just about see Sears Automotive through the paint.

All this thing does is run a DC current through the footbath water. That's it. It may ionize some particles here and there, but there's no reason to think it generates chi. No reason. None. The old texts referred to all known phenomena which could be directly sensed as not chi -- chi may be interpreted as tingly feelings and unexplained heat, but chi is something else, something that can't be measured or sensed. Chi is not DC current in a footbath, sorry to disappoint anybody who thinks it's so, but it's true.
