Bio-disc
The other day a friend had come over. Now she is past 70, hard of hearing and tends to ramble a bit, so I have only myself to blame for being so taken up with something that she was raving about.
Well actually she wasn’t raving… she had dropped in to ask me for some advice (knowing I am an Internet junkie ) and wanted to know what other people were saying about how good the product actually was since she had come across as many people for it, as against it. Someone had given it to her and it had cost 32,000 smackeroos, for 2 discs. She said she had attended one of those demonstrations and her godchild had gifted it to her since she didn’t keep very good health. Now she wanted to know if it really worked.
I asked her if I could take a look at it and she dug out this piece of hardened plastic from her capacious bag. It had some circles and lines on it and was encased in a steel ring. She said she had got a steel ring put around it since her friend had dropped hers and it had broken into pieces. The product she said is known as the Bio-Disc and it is sold through a MLM scheme. The moment I hear MLM, all the red flags go up …
Beware, beware…danger ahead…
This is how they describe the Bio-disc. It sounds very, errrrr…….. technical:
Technically engineered natural minerals have been structurally bonded in glass, at molecular level, using several high-heat fusion methods. This combination of techniques causes a catalytic energy conversion which creates a long-lasting, specific natural Nano resonance in the BIO DISC.
What puzzles me is…If the product is so good, then why does it need to be sold in this way?? It was supposedly invented by Dr Ian Lyons in Germany (supposedly, because there are a whole lot of people fighting on the websites about ‘Dr’Ian’s credentials). Oh and by the way it is no longer being sold in the land of its origins. Ding-ding!! Its main market is in Asia. Hmmmm….
. It simple terms it states that whenever water flow through the disc, the molecules will be altered and enabled to create positive energy and harmonize the body’s rhythm. So anyone drinking the water which has been passed through the disc will find the toxins flowing out of their bodies and they will feel more energized.
There are videos online showing experiments of various kinds. Plants are treated to Bio-disc water and micro waved water…the difference is supposed to be amazing. The plants die with micro waved water and grow lush and green with Bio disc treated water.
Another experiment involves squeezing some skin lotion on the disc. The lotion straight out of the tube takes longer to be absorbed into the skin than the one which was on the bio-disc. So take any cheap skin lotion and use it to get maximum benefits, is the claim.
I saw one demonstration of a guy who puts his cell phone into his shirt pocket and apparently had no energy to resist his outstretched hand from being pushed downwards. But the moment he is sprayed with bio-disc water, he is able to resist the pressure…A miracle.
What amazed me, was that none of the people who came up from the audience
to be tested on said that they didn’t feel any difference, though the body language and hesitant answers showed they weren’t very convinced. Which just goes to show the difference a really powerful demonstrator with the gift of the gab, can make.
When I heard that this product had reached my home town and people had attended the demonstration in hundreds I started reading up even more about it.

Like someone said this is like offering pseudoscience to the masses in the guise of defensible research. The product I was told is sold without any warranty of any kind. NO REFUNDS.
There are also many people out there swearing to it and saying how much it has helped them.
So what did I tell my friend??
I asked her how she felt after using the BD and she said she was feeling much more energized and healthier. Since I believe that most of our healing takes place because we believe that we are being healed, I told her that a lot of people believed in it and if she felt it was helping, then why did she need any more evidence. After all, isn’t this we call the Placebo Effect??
