So I got into an argument. A new-age Yoga addict wanted to introduce me to, well "have you heard about the vibrational quality of foods?".
"huh?" I think "no" would've been a clearer answer.
Over the next hour, I'm subjected to a load or pseudo science and bollocks from stuff like people who name "universities" after themselves before they've died (or had anything useful published in a journal), etc.
After 2 hours of googling to try to find out simple things, like 1: what the hell are you talking about? 2: what do you mean by "vibrations"?, 3: how does one measure this?, and 4: has it ever been tested?, the closest I've found is that it's something to do with Prana or Yin and Yang, depending on which eastern religion du jour they've chosen to cherry-pick from. I say "cherry-pick", because the guy who mentioned Prana - a Hindu concept - on his website didn't seem to have any other references to any other aspects of Hinduism whatsoever, and the inclusions of phenomena (perceived or otherwise) from various other belief systems on his site suggests to me that he's probably not a practicing Hindu or a believer in many of its other concepts.
Not really fundie, but definitely heading in the opposite direction of progress through rational enquiry. Anyway, I failed to find a single description on what on earth this is about, but about 5 million pages of healers, people who think crystals are special etc.
So I guess I have learnt something today - I learnt about a new way for sick people to avoid seeing a trained doctor. oh well.
