I wonder how many people it will kill, harm, or fleece....

As you can see above its being touted as a miracle cure.... I am curious how much these charlatans charge their gullible victims.

People DIE from believing in miracle cures like this, it isn't just harmless eccentricity, it is Quackery and fraud at its worst. Be sure to check out their FAQ section at http://www.starlightuses.com/htm/faq.htm

ANYONE with a little education can see their claims are misleading and/or gibberish.

Look at the site a little, its MONEY that they are after.... A 3" pyramid "moonlight infused":

Used today in many Shamanic ceremonies to gather insight and assist in the removal of illness and disease. Black Obsidian brings creativity to all endeavors.

The Pyramid represents the conscious connection to pure life energy at the apex and solid physical stability at the base.


You can get it at the price of $240!!!

What makes these crappy little trinkets worth so much? Well, they have been 'infused with moonlight'!!! Or as the CHARLATANS put it:

<blockquote<Our products are infused by placing them directly into this concentrated moonlight. This infusion adds an energy to these products that has never before been experienced; an energy that cannot be created any other way.



COMPLETE GARBAGE!!!!

In their products they repeatedly make claims about healing... This is absolute nonsense! Nothing more than charlatans profiting from the ignorant and gullible.

P.S. The first testimonial on their page is from "Doctor" Emoto, he is famous for claiming water crystals that freeze when shown a picture of a "good" word are prettier... Yeah, thats an endorsement.
Even sympathetic commentators have criticized Emoto for insufficient experimental controls,[3] and for not sharing enough details of his approach with the scientific community. [4] In addition, Emoto has been criticized for designing his experiments in ways that leave them open to human error influencing his findings. [5]

In the day-to-day work of his group, the creativity of the photographers rather than the rigor of the experiment is an explicit policy of Emoto.[6] Emoto freely acknowledges that he is not a scientist,[7] and that photographers are instructed to select the most pleasing photographs.[8]

James Randi, founder of the James Randi Educational Foundation, has publicly offered Emoto one million dollars if his results can be reproduced in a double-blind study.[9] Randi has also stated that he does not expect to ever have to pay the million dollars.

Quackery and pseudoscience like this is inexcusable, vile, harmful, and sometimes deadly. They are bilking money from the gullible, the uneducated, the stupid, and the desperate.
