I'm wondering if it had something to do with the container she nuked the water in. If it was some kind of plastic or polycarbonate, perhaps nuking it leeches chemicals from the container to the water. I vaguely remember hearing something about phytoestrogen from p.e.t. plastic causing manboobs and other nasty stuff.







Also, I wonder if the plants got equal amounts of sun.







And while I'm nitpicking, it looks like the nuked water plant has been trimmed around day six to nine, would of been better to leave any dead foliage attached.

That's a good question you raise, about the container used to hold the water during the microwave bath. I'm thinking ceramic or glass would be best, to avoid the possibility of contamination.When plastic heats, it releases volatile chemicals. New car smell is killer.The microwave water experiment wasn't well documented, so it would be best if several people replicated it, and kept more accurate notes on the methodology.(I'd do it, but I don't have a microwave)It appears they did, from the pictures, but we don't know for sure. Another good thing to remember, for anyone wishing to replicate the experiment.I also noticed that, but I have a question for you. When you say it would have been 'better', you mean it would have been better for the photographs or better for the experiment? As far as I know, if you're trying to keep a plant alive, you trim dead foliage.Are you not supposed to trim dead foliage, to keep plants alive? That's always how I've done it.It's the same thing with a person, if they get their leg all mashed up in an accident, you don't just leave it to dangle. Anyway, this is just my perception, but I'm nowhere near as qualified to speak on the subject as some of our other members, who've appear to have more degrees than I have teeth.But anyway, the broader issue is corporate liability for injuries resulting from toxic/dangerous products. There is little hope for the little guy. This country is owned and operated by folks who are willing to put millions at risk, and they're well equipped to do so with impunity.The guy's experiments were pretty biased, and to my knowledge they haven't been replicated yet. I'm really interested in the concepts he puts forward, but until some disinterested party adds credibility to his operation, I'm very skeptical.To be clear, I think what he's saying makes total sense, and I wouldn't be surprised in the least if it was true. But, until his experiments are replicated by someoneselling a dozen books and videos on the subject, the claims are going to appear to be exaggerated.Maybe the water in our bodies is our soul. Chronic dehydration..ouch, what's that mean?Some truth to the humours theory of medicine?Oh man, the possibilities are endless, for tying his concepts in to a larger interpretive framework. I do hope some folks follow up his research dilligently, and market their results with the same zeal so we can advance our collective understanding.
