 Now you can get more energy from a patch! I especially like the way that
they "believe" that it works. It is also based on years of research from
many fields. While the research may be valid, I'm not sure that their
results were intended to be used with a "patent pending blend of water,
oxygen, amino acids and organics applied to a polyester fabric and sealed
within a polymer shell".

OMG

Dr.(currently on probation) "fatty" Haltiwanger, seen here huffing and puffing while he warns his LifeWaver audience about the "dreamstealers".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4ix5rw4FSg&eurl=http://video.google.com/videosearch?rlz=1C1CHNH_enUS326US327&sourceid=chrome&q=Lifewave+SCAM&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=DIRXSq_7IsG0twf7ja&feature=player_embedded

So, if skeptics are dreamstealers, does that make LifeWave just stealers?

Watch "fatty" Haltiwanger tell us the patches work because he's seen it with his own eyes.

Remember the foot bath detox?

You saw it with your own eyes, so it had to be real, right?

Then someone decided to run the detox WITHOUT putting their feet in the water.

Razela,

You were right!

The program about LifeWave on "The American Health Journal" was clearly a paid for infomercial.

There is NOTHING on the first 10 minute slot that has not already been said.

Schmidt is clearly going to use the line "As Seen on PBS" as a way to give apparent legitimacy to his SCAM.

We'll see.

It ain't over till the fat lady sings.

BTW, did you see how much more weight Haltiwanger has put on. Even Schmidt is starting to get chubby.

Ah, the good life.

Perhaps that's intentional. It's a filter.

David Schmidt realizes that anyone who still believes, after seeing the obese Steven Haltiwanger huffing and puffing his way around Lifewave, that non-transdermal sealed patches are effective weight loss products, will believe anything. Those are the precisely the tragically gullible people whom David Schmidt is looking for.

It's David Schmidt's way of saying: "Those of you in the audience who have any critical thinking ability: Bu-bye. Don't let the door hit you in the ass."

Yes, the obese Dr. Haltiwanger promoting sealed weight loss patches is a filter, and a very effective filter at that.

Razela,

"I knew it. It sounded very infomercial like.

You are right, PBS does have high standards.

The point is that THIS program was NOT a PBS program.

It was aired on one PBS station KOCE, but the program, or infomercial, was made by a video production company.

http://thedoctorshow.ennertia.com/

We knew that Schmidt and the LifeWave affiliates would milk it for all it's worth, and they are.

"As seen on PBS" will become very common on distributor websites.

You would then naturally think about programs like "Nova" that air all over the country on hundreds of stations.

You would not be thinking KOCE/PBS in CA.

That's how SCAMS work and as Joel pointed out, the self selection process works beautifully.

If you don't think the sales pitch is complete BS then you are a PERFECT candidate for the LifeWave bandwagon.

All aboard!

Lifewave may only be one of the many scam companies out there, but every little bit helps.

Razela,

I'm one of the few who regularly post now and lately have been posting way too much while I've been recovering from surgery.

There are plenty of scams out there, some of which are now copying Schmidt's patches scam.

There's no patent on the patches so I guess they figure why not get a piece of the pie!

I too hope that skeptics who post here have saved a few folks from giving their hard earned cash to the SOCIOPATH David (not a doctor or a scientist) Schmidt.

BTW, did you see Schmidt on The American Health Journal puff peace?

Exactly as predicted:

PART I

"LifeWave Patch Technology was highlighted in a Public Broadcasting System special in the Los Angeles/Orange County California area on July 3rd and July 5th, 2009.

Quite obviously this broadcast was very effective in raising the interest in the LifeWave Patch Technology and the LifeWave Patches including the LifeWave IceWave Patch pain reducer, The LifeWave YAGE Patch System comprised of the LifeWave Glutathione Patch/LifeWave Glutathione Booster Patch and the LifeWave Carnosine Patch, and the LifeWave Energy Enhancer Patch because of the number of phone calls that PBS received from viewers.

According to the executive producer of PBS who called the LifeWave Corporate Office in California, within 4 minutes of the broadcast starting the phones were "ringing off the hook" with people wanting to know where to get these patches. This producer said that in 14 years they have never gotten the kind of response that they did with LifeWave.

This particular 30 minute PBS special will be airing in the coming weeks/months in 27 markets around the USA and the video will be available to LifeWave Members on their Websites during this same time frame.

The Leads that LifeWave received from the various media events that Suzanne Somers had with her book "Breakthrough" are being distributed to qualified LifeWave Reps and LifeWave will be distributing the leads from the PBS special too. How can you say FREE LEADS ?

After having read the above and you are interested in getting involved with this powerful LifeWave Technology for yourself or someone you love, go to:"

Perhaps go to have your head examined for thinking that this SCAM could possibly be real?

There is NO Executive producer of PBS.!

There IS the producer of the program "The American Health Journal" who took the money and made a "to order" infomercial for Schmidt which was aired on ONE PBS station KOCE in LA.

<B>China Bans Electro-Shock Therapy for Internet Addiction.</B>

China has banned electro-shock therapy as a treatment for Internet addiction, citing uncertainty in the safety and effectiveness of the practice after criticism in the local media. The Ministry of Health announcement followed recent media reports about a controversial psychiatrist in Linyi, Shandong Province, who administered electric currents to nearly 3,000 teenagers in an attempt to rid them of their Internet habit.

Also from the UK:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2008/jul/21/pharmacists.homeophathy

"The Royal Pharmaceutical Society has been asked to take action following allegations that pharmacists are failing to give customers proper information about the shortcomings of homeopathic treatments before they buy them.

In an open letter to the society, Edzard Ernst, the country's only professor of complementary medicine, criticises high street pharmacists for selling homeopathic remedies without informing customers that they contain no biologically active agents and are no more effective than sugar pills."

"My plea is simply for honesty.

Let people buy what they want, but tell them the truth about what they are buying.

These treatments are biologically implausible and the clinical tests have shown they don't do anything at all in human beings.

The argument that this information is not relevant or important for customers is quite simply ridiculous," he says.

"If they are unable to stick to their ethical code, then they should change their code and be clear that it is alright to put profits before patients."

It adds: "There may be a place, where the patient demands it, for harmless faith-based therapies.

Whether that place is in a pharmacy is what the profession must address."

Faith-based = placebo

Call your patches and products what they are and I won't have a problem with your SCAM.

Here we see video of yet another demonstration with a LifeWave distributor carrying out all manner of woo woo.

The interesting part is the audience who have obviously attended meetings with this guy before.

At 0.49 seconds a woman says that she "...didn't follow that."

"Didn't follow what?" our distributor asks.

The lady says that in previous weeks he's used pain patches for energy and energy patches for pain. She doesn't understand how he figures out what patches to use.

What follows is the meanderings of a distributor trying to keep his sales pitch on target.

Watch the smoke and mirrors in action.

Unbelievable.

I say this with absolutely no malice whatsoever - anyone that can even remotely believe any of this hokey hoodoo voodoo hocus pocus ridiculousness will never, EVER be receptive to anything logical. They simply cannot, do not want to, and never will understand it. Period.

Whereas most people such as myself wake up and have bacon and eggs for breakfast to start our day, these poor bastards take a coffee colonic, stick an "energy crystal" in their navel with a "Lifewave patch", do a quick "super-duper biofeedback life energy scan" and then head down to the local Scientology hotspot for a few minutes of meditation before a hard day selling Amway...and by virtue of that vast difference, they believe that they are enlightened New Age innovators and that the average Joe is some dumb schmuck stuck in a rut. Strangely, with each successive "network marketing" failure, through successively stranger and stranger "homeopathic remedies", all the while chanting the mantra of one "inspirational" leader after another, they actually become more and more fixated on that which they should shun. Truly bizarre.

Of course, it's their "enlightenment" (and, obviously, the way it loosens their purse strings) that is the driving engine behind this sort of thing, and the wolves stand ready to con and exploit these poor people in one scam after another ... after another ... after another, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

I clicked on a YouTube link above and watched with amazement as some modern day Charles Ponzi held court in the back room of some restaurant, and kept his gullible audience rapt and amazed as he cranked some woman's arm up and down like one of those old crank water well pumps and "checked her parotid glands and C-3 vertebra via 'muscle feedback'", prescribing for her some cheesy cure-all patch chemotherapy ... truly bunko at its best ... and I thought - yep, it's really true. There IS one born every minute!

I see why many, many posters here try to shake these people to some sort of reality - ANY sort of reality - and I understand why, and commend them for their efforts. But, they are speaking to brick walls who want to believe in the Wizard of Oz so, SO bad that they are simply and incontrovertibly deaf to anything whatsoever that threatens to expose the lurking conman behind the curtain.

It's sad, but it's scary, too. These hopelessly deluded victims are our electrical linemen, our cab and bus drivers, the construction workers that build our skyscrapers, and yes, even our policemen, firemen, and our EMTs! Lord help us all!

Amos Moses,

Love your thinking!

The few folks who persist in posting here about the SOCIOPATH David (not a doctor or a scientist) Schmidt do so in the hope that even a few people will take heed.

Some folks have been kind enough to post their thanks on this thread. They realized the truth in what we have posted and avoided getting scammed.

http://www.lifewave-australia.com/

Australia is currently a target of the SCAM.

You will see many Australian websites such as the link above.

You will also notice the confusion over how the SCAM patches are supposed to work.

"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.

Low frequency electronic signals can initiate cell to cell communication and the cells respond in the SAME way to specific signals as they do to chemicals, except that these signals are all natural compared to artificial chemicals (drugs), and so there are never adverse reactions or side-affects.

The LifeWave patches communicate directly with the cells..."

This website is using OLD information.

Schmidt has changed his version of HOW the "technology" works many times.

The "communicating directly with the cells..." is old hat.

By posting the obvious changes some people see the light!

Here's a second Australian site.

http://www.sydneymusicweb.com/lifewave.htm

The patches work in a different way on this site.

At any rate, the most succinct and accurate statement about LifeWave that I read there was put there by LifeWave themselves, to wit:

"This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease."

For me the LifeWave SCAM, and the ability of David (not a doctor or a scientist) Schmidt to conduct his SCAM without consequences, raises a major issue.

Why are SCAMS able to flourish in the USA with little to no consequences even when said SCAMS are brought to the attention of regulatory bodies?
