Want to more successful? Fix your self esteem first.

Dr. Emoto's work cannot be validated. Emoto self-publishes and refuses to make his claims accessible to the scientific community.

If you believe that water understands language (regardless if that language is in German or English or Japanese) then you will enjoy this video. The idea you speak to water, you tell the water "thank you" and the water understands the language and responds by forming a "pretty" crystal, then you will embrace Emoto's work.

And if you believe in Emoto's work, I recommend telling water, "I love you," each time before you take a drink.

Hi Richard,

There are more than 1 studies on prayers, and positive feeling affecting molecular structural level of cells in the human body.

Some scientists cannot even explain it. I honestly think that it works..

Awesome, hubertkoh. I'm glad you honestly think that telling water it is loved changes the molecular structure. You are welcome to your beliefs. Am I welcome to mine?

I think what is great about a public forum is the ability for a person looking to improve their self-esteem to get more than a one sided opinion that guides them to accept a certain ideology. It is absolutely fantastic that you and I can present multiple views, even divergent opinions and in this way provide the individual a more complete picture of their options.

Richard, think of it as a placebo effect. People are trying to explain this for years.

Why fix something that works? have a shot right. Just like how some western countries dont believe in Chinese medicine.

Today, integrative healthcare is getting bigger.

The placebo is a sugar pill. It doesn't cure the cancer. The person believes, they feel better temporarily, then they die. That is why it is called the "placebo effect" and not the "placebo cure".

Don't get me wrong, I understand the value in some cases of offering a placebo. When I was in Chiapas Mexico I witnessed priests sacrificing chickens to cure illness. In some cases, maybe the positive beliefs even helped provide a physiological boost. If a person believes the death of a chicken will cure them, it helps get them active and this extra activity boosts the immune system. Woohoo! Go placebo! Sorry chicken, but your life was sacrificed for a good cause.

Now Chiapas is a poor community. There are no hospitals so sometimes sacrificing a chicken is the best therapy available. A placebo effect is better than no treatment at all.

Regardless, most situations are not so desperate that a person only has the option of sacrificing a chicken or praying to water in order to garner a placebo. In an online public forum, other options than the placebo effect are available. That is why I believe offering up multiple opinions is the best path. You disagree? You think only offering the placebo effect is the best path?

Richard, the point is we are not curing cancer.

IF you want to cure your self-esteem or gain self confidence, you cannot pop pills can you?

But yet positive thoughts and self affirmations can actually help you. (which in your opinion they are merely a placebo effect?)

Btw thanks so much for giving me some good advice, RIchard. Im just here to share my thoughts. I dont want to go into arguments with anyone.
