BIO DISC SUMMARY
Prepared by Paul Carden and John Divito / www.ACFAR.org
The Bio Disc
 is a small, circular glass object which is said to have miraculous powers of
healing and rejuvenation
 is manufactured in Germany for Amezcua, a Singapore-based wellness
company, and marketed exclusively through QuestNet via its independent
representatives
The Bio Disc
 bases its alleged effectiveness on principles (such as chi or qi energy) that
are rooted in thoroughly occultic worldviews
 has no basis in conventional science, but instead corresponds to alternative
therapies and forms of New Age/eastern medicine that are speculative at
best and frequently fraudulent
 has no objectively proven health benefits, yet its promoters create the
expectation that it possesses an extravagant range of healing properties (and
can even remove the effect of gravity on a human being)
 is not guaranteed in any way by its manufacturer (which instead assigns all
potential risk and blame to the purchaser)
It can be argued that, at the very least, the Bio Disc is harmful to:
1. The purchaser, who
a. wastes a large sum of his money on it
b. vainly invests his hopes of health and well-being on it
c. compromises his Christian worldview and witness by accepting its
supernatural claims
2. The seller, who
a. bears ethical responsibility for inducing others to buy an expensive
and useless productand for profiting by this deception
Based on the foregoing, Christians should have nothing to do with the Bio Disc
or any similar product.
