Crystal energy conspiracy

Go into new age shop, or mind, body, spirit fayre and you can't help but be dazzled by the array of shiny crystals laid out for your perusal, and plenty of advice and guidance on the use of them. Now, don't get me wrong, there is a tremendous volume of nonsense written and spoken about crystals, particularly with regard to their healing properties, but to read the mainstream media and particularly the scientific press one could easily think that there was absolutely nothing to any of the theories about the use of crystals as therapeutic aids at all. This is in large part due to the power exerted by large pharmaceutical companies who have the strength and finances to control not just doctors, but Universities, Doctors organisations, insurance companies and even governments. This is quite a sweeping statement, and I guess you are wondering what evidence there could be for such a conspiracy. Lets look a little closer at crystals.

They come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, colours and compositions, but there are some common features. Essentially crystals are evaporation salts, minerals dissolved in water which, as the water evaporates are left behind and grow, depending on the environmental conditions. In extreme environments, such as protected cave systems in volcanic regions single crystals can grow to incredible sizes. Recent discoveries during mining operations in South America have uncovered quartz crystals in excess of 12 metres in length and weighing several tons each. As a consequence of their structure crystals have some unusual properties. Under compression they exhibit piezoelectric properties, flashes of electricity lighting the crystal from within. Crystals are also used in some radio sets and in computer systems because of their electrical properties. This leads to some interesting thoughts on how crystals could possibly interact with the human body.

It is well known and understood that the human body generates a weak electro-magnetic field through the operation of neurons and muscle fibres as well as through the generation of a static charge through the skins galvanic response. These fields extend beyond the body and change and shift based on the general health and well-being of the individual and the flow of electrical signals around the body. Damage to nerves, muscles and so on can affect the flow. If we posit that crystals can interact with electro-magnetic fields then it is possible that crystals could aid in assessing those fields and perhaps even modifying them. Of course, there will never be the amount of research into something as unprofitable as crystal therapy. The money is in taking nature and creating something unnatural at vast profit, and that is what big pharmaceutical companies are all about. Of course, if the drugs they provide keep you ill by creating side effects that require even more drugs to treat, then so much the better. There will be more on this topic soon.
