Many thanks to Veronica over on the LifeWave thread for giving us this link.

http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/forum/forum_comments/2526/P5160/

For those interested perhaps we can take a close look at the claims etc.

Enjoy, and once again thank you Veronica.

Well, it appears Veronica has yet to work out how to follow the link over here.

In the meantime, those who look at the new pretender to the throne , CieAura, will see an amazing similarity to the LifeWave management offshoot company 8ight.com.

http://www.8ight.com/

As we know, Warren Hanchey was reported, by Joel in September 2007, to have come up with a similar range of products to LifeWave but using holographic discs.

Taking a first look at the CieAura Management, who do we see at the top?

Our good old buddy Ken Rasner, Founder and CEO.

Name ring a bell?

Let’s look at the LifeWave National Convention in 2005 Las Vegas.

That’s about the time Veronica started using the patches.

“I have worn LifeWave patches since early 2005.”

“Corporate Attendees
David Craig In House Graphic Design
Ana Daras Marketing Assistant
Bill Grand Director of Marketing & Operations
Meredith Garrette Customer Service Manager
Michelle Hanchey Events Coordinator
Warren Hanchey CFO
Steven Haltiwanger Director of Health & Science
Sagi Kalev aka: Mr. NanoMan
Ron Morefield Director of Information Technology
Richard Quick National Athletic Director
Ken Rasner Executive VP
David Schmidt CEO & President
Christie Sparkman Accounting/Pay Cards”

http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/forum/forum_comments/2526/P380/

Mmmm Couple of names pop out.

Warren Hanchey went on to start his own company (scam) as mentioned above.

Ken Rasner went on to start his own company (scam) currently as mentioned above.

What a small world it is.

I wonder if Schmidt gets a kick back?

Of course we could buy the CD and listen to Ken enthuse about LifeWave:

LifeWave Audio CD (streaming 32kbps mono MP3)

Track 1 (7:02):  Introduction to LifeWave with David Schmidt & Ken Rasner

Like shooting fish in a barrel!

WOW

Ken Rasner is a busy man.

http://www.sevengreatestsecrets.com/custom/about_us.html

His next book,

“Prosperity Now”, co-authored by Richard Quick, is due out in early 2009.

For three years, Mr. Rasner served as president of a very successful international marketing company and helped a start-up company grow from under $650,000 a month to over $24 million of annualized sales in five months. Mr. Rasner currently sits on the Board of Directors for S.W.A.T.S. (Sports with Alternatives to Steroids), LLC, and is President of Harmonic FM, LLC.

One of Mr. Rasner

One more thing.

Yep, they are on YouTube.

Check out the strength test and talk about cell phone frequencies etc.

Fish in a barrel!

Enjoy.

Veronica still hasn’t found her way over from the LifeWave site where she has been getting rid of a lot of pent up bile!

In the meantime, it’s interesting to see the proliferation of LifeWave wannabees using “The next big thing”.

Holographic discs.

Here’s yet another company that an old timer LifeWave distributor is pushing these days.

Thanks to Joel for the link.

Advita Hologram Discs:

http://www.energyrich.com/

Ah, the tried and tested wording:

“NOTHING GOES IN THE BODY !!!

The Advita Holograms & Holographic Bracelets.
Advita Holograms Help Provide Your Body With The Correct Information
To Bring Your Body Back To Its Innate State of Optimum Health.”

“THE ONLY COMPANY WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY !”

Really?

So the holographic discs from CieAura must be chopped liver!

What about the holographic discs from 8ight.com, the Warren Hanchey LifeWave spin off?

Even the James Randi forum is interested in Warren Hanchey:

http://forums.randi.org/archive/index.php/t-101817.html

Let’s not forget our good buddy from Yorkshire in the UK, Karma Singh and the Harmony discs.

http://www.harmonyunited.com/web/impressum.html

He’s been around much longer than all the newbies AND his discs can do soooo much more.

“Power Balance Holograms” anybody?

http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9701967776/m/5861914689

http://www.surfingmagazine.com/news/surfing-pulse/do-you-believe-in-holograms-power-balance-030209/

Poor Victoria and her husband (over on the LifeWave thread).

Won’t know which way to turn.

“... I love these new CieAura patches ... they are fabulous and my husband is taking advantage of not having to take pain meds that he used when we first met.

He is now leaning on the holistic program and off the roller coaster from the medical world.”

http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/forum/forum_comments/2526/P5160/

Maybe it will come down to which disc is cheaper?

Or perhaps which disc will stand up to being “leaned” on?

Duh

Anyone remember this golden oldie holographic disc?

The Smog Buster Holographic disc from 2004/5?

We all know how that ended.

Yet another SCAM

Personally I’m somewhat surprised that they haven’t trotted out ‘nano technology’ as a snake-oil buzzword. I guess it’s because there’s enough discussion of ‘gray goo’ and other such negative connotations.. That or they may just have a hard time convincing folks that tiny little robots can help align your body’s natural auras..

3: It is not our responsibility to disprove your claims, but rather your responsibility to prove them.
4. Personal testamonials are not proof.

What part of ‘meow’ don’t you understand?

Yet ANOTHER Holographic Disc Company!

http://restquiet.com/faqs.htm

Same old same old.

Reads like LifeWave.

“Are these transdermal?  What goes in the body?

Nothing enters the body; the Holographic Disc is not a transdermal disc.

This is a completely new science and new approach to health and wellness.

What should I feel when wearing the Holographic Disc?

You probably will feel nothing. The Holographic Disc is not a stimulant nor a depressant, like caffeine or alcohol.

What you should notice is very constant and stable levels of deep rest, allergy relief and overall enhanced health.”

Mmmm

Well that’s slightly confusing!

The Rest Quiet website has a link under the heading Rest Quiet Brochure that takes you to the CieAura website.

The other brochures are in PDF format.

Rest Quiet Holographic Discs

“The Transparent Holographic Disc addresses disturbances by using a patent pending formulated reactive vibrations to passively interact with the bodies natural electro magnetic pulses to produce signals that rebalance the body.”

LifeWave Patches

“The active materials are processed and applied to a substrate so as to form a nano-scale organic molecular antenna which works with the electronic and magnetic features of the human body like a cellular radio to transmit information from the patches into the body resulting in specific actions in the cells.

These nano-sized organic antennas, when properly constructed, are capable of passively modulating the human magnetic field for the purpose of transmitting information to the human body.”

So the Rest Quiet folks may or may not be CieAura under a different name.

The telephone number appears to be someone in Georgia:

Marvin Barre

3610 Old Atlanta Road, Suwanee, GA 30024

404 551 4255

Barre Brokerage

3610 Old Atlanta Rd
Suwanee, GA 30024

770-844-8322

Mmmm

Busy man at home by the looks of things.

Let’s hope his business of negotiating a better rate for mortgages isn’t a SCAM as well as the holographic disc business!
