 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".

"2010 Revenue:$38.8 million"

Mmmm The authorities might actually start taking an interest in this particular scam now that they claim to be making the big bucks!

I guess crackpots attract each other.

Check out Peter Ragnar.

"However, with the new discoveries in nanotechnology, we can also use specifically designed informational molecular antennas that can be placed like a small Band-Aid on certain acupoints. David Schmidt, the founder of LifeWave, and myself have joined forces to write about the power of new nanotechnology breakthroughs in the use of the LifeWave patches, as well as our explorations into ear-whispered secrets of the ancients. Can we unlock the combination lock of human energy and aging? Stay tuned—The LifeWave Experience to a New You will soon be going to press."

No, an old Chinese guy once whispered into my ear, "Our ancestors have known for thousands of year that smearing honey and molasses on yourself is nanotechnology that sends commands to your body, just like ancient Chinese cell phones have always done."

Wellbeing.

Welcome to the LifeWave scam thread on the Hoax Forum.

Thank you for confirming that the patches are nothing more than placebos.

I trust, as an upstanding citizen, with ethics and morals, you will be encouraging David Schmidt, not a doctor or a scientist but does have a 2 year business studies degree from Pace University, to label all his products as placebos, right?

Bob Burtis at WWSN has noted that LifeWave is about to enter the cell phone shield SCAM.

Isn't that David Schmidt a clever man!

http://www.generazionebio.com/notizie/294-nome-in-codice-project-cell-shield.html

It's even got a code name!

Project CELL SHIELD.

Application for a Trademark is in the works.

Let's not forget that last year the word was you could just stick a patch on the back of your phone.

"...if you place a lifewave patch on the back side of your phone it will neutralize any possibility of the phone metals affecting your health."

WOW.

Well, Lifewave has a brand spanking new “research” paper published. http://lifewave.com/pdf/Research/pub-HolisticHealthCareJrnl.pdf

<b>Special Issue on LifeWave Studies (6 Studies total)</b>
<i>Holistic Health Care And Research Journal (Vol I, No. 001, Oct-Dec 2011)</i>

Note that it’s published in a “special issue” of the journal. Vol. I, No. 001. That’s right, this all-Lifewave issue is the very first edition of this journal ever published. Numero Uno. So it must be a respect journal, if it’s never been published before, right?

So what about the publisher, this “Holistic Health Care and Research Organization” with an address in India and a website of http://www.hhcro.org?

As of today, none of the links on that website seem to work. They all take you to the home page.

According to WHOIS, the domain http://www.hhcro.org is registered to an anonymous party using a P.O. box in Australia as an address. http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/hhcro.org. That domain was registered on November 22, 2011.

Domain Name:HHCRO.ORG
Created On:22-Nov-2011 05:54:32 UTC

I’m sure HHCRO is a very respected organization, with a very respected research journal.

This special edition certainly starts off in an authoritative way: “The aim of this research project was to prove the efficacy of Energy enhancer patches (Ice wave and Glutathione Patches) on energy fields and chakras.”

Of course, true research doesn’t begin with the goal of proving anything. Its goal is to test and discover.

And energy fields and chakras? They may as well have started with, “The aim of this project was to prove that Lifewave patches enhance the ability of leprechauns to find gold.”

<b>THE GDV IMAGING SCAM BY LIFEWAVE AND OTHER WOO-WOO GADGET SELLERS EXPOSED</b>

There’s another scam product out there called the electroDot. The British company that hawks it says that the “electroDOT is . . . programmed to harmonise electromagnetic radiation from electronic equipment.” Apparently you stick this little gizmo on your cell phone or your personal massage wand or whatever, and it’s supposed to protect you from the “electro-pollution” that emanates from your electronic devices that could be “frazzling your day.” http://www.phiharmonics.com/electroDOT.php. Perhaps it’s the latest anti-electro-gizmo from our drooling friend Kharma Singh at http://www.harmonyunited.com because it sounds a lot like his Harmony Chip.

So what’s the connection to Lifewave patches?

Well, for one, they both use cool, psychedelic looking colored pictures that look like Grateful Dead concert t-shirts and that supposedly represent “gas discharge visualization” (GDV) imaging of the aura around your body, both before and after treatment with what they’re respectively trying to sell you. The “Before” and “After” pictures for both of these woo-woo products supposedly prove their magical properties that those stupid engineers and scientists couldn’t possibly understand.

But what’s absolutely amazing about the two of them is that the “After” electroDot GDR images are the exact same pictures as the “Before” Lifewave patch GDR images that Lifewave proudly displays in its latest “research” paper.

Compare:
(a) the three “After using electroDot for 2 days” images on the right at http://www.phiharmonics.com/bio-imaging.php, with
(b) the three “Before” Icewave Patch images on page 7 of the “special issue” of the all-Lifewave journal from the Indian “Holistic Health Care and Research Organization” posted on Lifewave’s website http://lifewave.com/pdf/Research/pub-HolisticHealthCareJrnl.pdf

They are exactly the same images in all their psychedelic glory, including the crude stylized drawings of humans inside the auras. Imagine that.

Oops.

I was pretty confident that if I poked around a bit, I would find the Lifewave images somewhere else on an unrelated New Age website. Sure, enough, it only took me about 15 minutes to find the exact same images being used to sell some other woo-woo crapola scam product as supposedly representing the “research” on that product.

But the true believers (the Lifewave distributors) still won’t care, will they? This proof that Lifewave fabricates its “research” out of whole cloth won’t mean a thing to them.

Slightly off topic, but not entirely:

<b>Is the Amazing Saga of Kevin Trudeau v. Federal Trade Commission Finally Over?</b>

http://nutrisuplaw.com/

Sleazeball Kevin Trudeau has now been fined a total of $45 million dollars in 4 separate findings by the FTC spanning 11 years that he defrauded consumers with his phony weight loss and other products. He has now also been banned from making any infomercials for 3 years. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals recently upheld the latest FTC action against him including the 3-year ban and a $37.6 million fine.

Gee, and his products came with all those testimonials and endorsements, just like Lifewave. If there were testimonials, it couldn't have been a scam, could it? Gosh, he seemed so passionate and sincere about helping people, just like David Schmidt.

I still see Trudeau infomercials on my cable TV.

He came out with an "investigative" type show where the "investigator" knocked on doors and spoke to people who confirmed they had made money by following the nice Mr. Trudeau's instructions from his books!

Yeah, Trudeau is definitely pushing the boundaries by finding loopholes in the injunction against him. He got held in contempt of court by a federal judge once, but the Seventh Circuit overturned that finding.

PATENT STATUS UPDATE

On March 15, 2012, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) once again rejected David Schmidt's U.S. patent application serial number 12/915,419, which as far as I can tell is the only patent application that Schmidt has pending anywhere in the world.

This time the PTO rejected Schmidt's application in part based on a prior patent application by Edward Ludwig Blendermann, who appears to be a chiropractor in Florida who had written to the PTO and said essentially, "Hey, I was the inventor of what David Schmidt is now trying to claim. Don't give Schmidt a patent." Mr. Blendermann himself may have posted at one time on this forum under the name "Buster in Port Orange, Florida." See his post at http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/forum/forum_comments/2526/P4419

Again, as far as I can tell, Schmidt has never obtained a patent on anything anywhere in the world, although he failed at 3 prior attempts to get patents on supposed inventions relating to batteries and hydrogen production (abandoned U.S. patent application serial numbers 09/775,550, 09/886,935, and 09/887,531).

As I have said before, whether Schmidt eventually gets a patent says nothing about whether his magic patches works as advertised. But it has now been 9-1/2 years since Schmidt filed his first (provisional) patent application for his magic patches in 2002. Based on the history of Schmidt's patent application, including his abandoned parent application serial no. 10/669,596, Schmidt seems happy to spend as little money as possible and make the process as slow as possible, even though that means that for every one day that clicks away, he loses what would be one day off of the life of any patent that might eventually issue. People who have real inventions that have real value do not choose the slow boat to a patent, at least not in my experience.

Does anybody know anything about this Edward Blendermann guy?

Cool. Thanks.

One minor correction. You stated that: "LifeWave (http://www.lifewave.com/) largely spun off from 8ight (http://www.8ight.com/) which sell the same stuff dealing with 'intrinsic energy'."

Actually, it's the other way around. 8ight was formed by Warren Hanchey who had previously been with Lifewave after Warren Hanchey and David Schmidt had some sort of falling out that left Hanchey publicly saying some uncomplimentary things about Schmidt. See http://www.qalias.com/view_profile/Warren/E/Hanchey/1065/0/. Hanchey has apparently since been joined by Ron Morefield, another ex-Lifewaver.

Nice work, PatchDiscBandScam.

Your site should be very helpful in exposing these scams to anybody who is willing to expend just a little bit of due diligence effort before he becomes both a shill for these companies and a victim at the same time.

I especially like the chart that you've posted on http://www.patchdiscbandscam.com/ showing how all of these sleazeballs are interconnected with a number of different scams. It appears to show "2 degrees of separation" between MLM miracle product scams. It's a tightly knit group. I wonder if they have secret meetings to discuss which techniques work the best for selling scam products.

<b>LIFEWAVE'S ATTORNEY ARGUES THAT DAVID SCHMIDT'S MAGIC PATCHES ARE ENTITLED TO A PATENT BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN HONEY</B>

On May 23, 2012, Lifewave's attorney, Patrick A. Doody at the law firm of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, submitted an amendment to Schmidt's pending patent application (serial no. 12/915,419), in which Mr. Doody argued that that the Patent and Trademark Office's most recent rejection of Schmidt's patent application on March 15 was mistaken because, in Mr. Doody's own words:

<i> Applicant elected for prosecution L-carnitine for the left-handed molecule, and honey for the right-handed molecule. Neither Blendermann nor Blifzer discloses or suggests either of these. Blendermann discloses L-caratine, not L-carnitine. L-caratine
is a well known vitamin supplement. Blendermann also fails to disclose or suggest the use of honey. The Action notes that Blendermann discloses bee pollen as a possible supplement, and then makes the unsupported allegation that bee pollen is somehow
"the honey precursor." Bee pollen is not a precursor to honey.

Applicant attaches hereto one of the many documents that describe bee pollen and its distinction with honey. The attached article specifically states that bee pollen is not used to make honey. Rather, nectar is the precursor of honey. Bee pollen is collected from the bees legs as they enter the hive. The allegation in the Action that bee pollen is a honey precursor therefore is not accurate."</i> Amendment dated May 23, 2012, at page 9, paragraphs 1 and 2.

That's right, folks, Schmidt's attorney Patrick A. Doody (no known relation to Howdy Doody) is arguing that Schmidt deserves a patent for his magic cure-all quantum nanotechnology resonant frequency patches because they contain honey. Since Schmidt's attorney did not submit a video of himself making those arguments, we can't know for sure when he made those arguments with a straight face.

<b>Another Scam Product from a Former Lifewaver</b>

Mitch Ross, a former Lifewaver, started a product called S.W.A.T.S. using, you guessed, it, "holographic chips." According to the article, Mitch Ross is a former disaffected Lifewaver.

"Ross liked the idea [of Lifewave patches], but hated the system the company used to sell the patches. So when there was dissension at LifeWave, he decided to branch off with some of the company's top people and take the technology in a different direction."

http://www.thepostgame.com/node/1165

That's right, folks, children's holographic stickers are based on the same "technology" as honey. Can one Lifewaver look us straight in the eye and say that that makes sense to him, based on at least a few college physics and chemistry courses taken?

Mitch Ross will sell you magic SWATS spray, magic SWATS water, and magic SWATS holographic wristbands. http://www.swatsedge.com/

And don't forget the testimonials. Wow, lots and lots of testimonials from ex-military men, professional athletes, and others. http://www.swatsedge.com/testimonial/ Well, the product claims must be true then, right? I mean if you have testimonials, that overrides all logic, science, and lack of valid testing, doesn't it?

It's been a while since I posted. Let's face it, we have all grown weary after posting for 5+ years about sociopath David, not a doctor or a scientist, but does have a 2 year business systems diploma from Pace University, Schmidt.

Now, Schmidt has decided that using social media is the way to go.

The man has zero ethics or morals.

Well, yes, that's a sociopath, right?

Anyway, for some of the regulars, if you haven't seen this yet, enjoy and have a chuckle on me.

<b>DAVID SCHMIDT CONFIRMS THAT HE HAS ONLY A B.A. DEGREE IN MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS FROM PACE UNIVERSITY</B>

David Schmidt has now been trying for ten years to get a patent for his magic honey patches, since he first applied in the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) on September 26, 2002. So far, no luck.

In his latest filing with the PTO, he submitted his C.V. in order to convince the patent examiner what an accomplished guy he is. It is now public record. In it, the only degree that Schmidt lists is a "B.B.A., Management Information Systems" from Pace University in New York in 1986. I believe "B.B.A." stands for Bachelor of Business Administration.

You can see his C.V. for yourself by following these steps:

Go to http://portal.uspto.gov/external/portal/pair
Get past the Captcha.
Enter 12915419 as the application number, and click on SEARCH
Click on the "Image File Wrapper Tab."
Put a check in the box for the line 9/25/12 AF/D Rule 130, 131, or 132 Affidavits.
Click on the "PDF" tab.
When the PDF file opens, go to the last 2 pages. That is where Schmidt's CV is.

Pace University's website lists the curriculum for its degree in Management Information Science: http://appsrv.pace.edu/academics/view-programs/?School=GSB&Cred=CGS&Maj=10&Location=nyc&details;. That curriculum involves only 12 academic units. Now, when I attended engineering school, I considered my last semester of my senior year to be "cruising" because I took only 12 units that last semester. So it looks like the only degree that Schmidt possesses is the equivalent of one semester of a relatively light academic load in his concentration. No hard science in there. He says on his C.V. that he has "Additional Studies: Biology" from Pace University, but he doesn't say how many units he completed in biology.

There's some other really funny stuff in that same 10-page PDF document , but I or someone else will get to commenting on that later.

Ok so I was bored and found this site. While reading up about various hoaxes I found something I can actually comment on. Life wave,
I was shocked at the earliest posting and I'm far to lazy to go through all 296 so maybe this post isn't even revelent but I care enough about a few statements to actually create an account and post (that and I've had to trim about 8000 words out so far)

Sad fact of life, no one gives a damn about curing a disease, especially not in the US. There is no money in a cure, only in treatments. Need an example? Think of the supplies and associated costs over a lifetime for diabetes.

Why aren't they sold it stores? Really simple: wouldn't have sold. You can't just slap them on and expect them to work,its a little more complicated. Its not some magic cure all, or just some pill you can pop, its not even based on chemical reactions because nothing goes in the body. Is it a wonder why people can't understand this?

You have to be taught to use them right, hence why they aren't available at your local walmart (yet!). Otherwise people would buy and return them thinking they don't work. They COULD have gone that route, they had been offered a contract from GNC, but this is just the only real way to sell them, as shitty as MLM is.

"The scientific principles behind it, if there are any, go against everything we know about the human body. Positive and negative areas? FM modulation to body parts? You may have to fire your team doctor since everything he was taught must be false."

This guy was so close. Simple fact is. There are a hell of a lot of misconceptions about the body, several of which I can probably sum up with one statement. The human body is not just a chemical engine.
It works off a much broader spectrum(heat, light, electricity) and does in ways we STILL don't know about.

This in part stems from the control that pharmaceutical companies currently have over the medical industry today. Too many idiots out there think the cure for cancer is gonna be one little "magic" pill. Newsflash: the fact is there are dozens of treatments and "cures" that work , but they won't see the light of day (not in the mainstream)


But heres a simple way to bend your mind arond it. Lifewave been called"software for the human body". Well what is a prescription drug if nothing more than chemical software?

"Wouldn't legitimate institutions report their findings on their own websites and journals? Isn't there anyone who performed studies on the product that also does not sell it?"

Just because 1 person can't locate something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Lifewave had so many studies they initially performed themselves for 2 main reasons.

1. Duh to make money, they had to have data to support their claims. Since their initial studies several "legitimate" case studies have been publish or are in the process of publication. It just takes a long time. having some studies allows them to legally make certain claim WITHOUT being FDA approved You want to ask your doctor about how it works? Why not ask my dentist if he can remove my brain tumor?
3. FDA approval. Ever try teaching alegbra to a 2 year old? Thats about how easy it is to get the FDA to understand something (or admit something to be true)
This product should have been approved at least 7 years ago but keep having to resubmit and reclassify due to lack of understanding. I know for a fact that the sleep patch is now listed as a class one medical device in France.

" If anyone's at fault here, it's the people who make this crap and sell it to the public."
This line reminded me of a funny little story

The much criticized Dr. Haltiwanger, the medical guy of lifewave, had originally been asked to disprove the patches,at the request of a 3rd party. Lo and behold after some personal experimentation, conclusion : THEY WORKED. He wound up getting in contact with the company and the rest is history.

Oh and those holographic chip patches? yeah thats a complete and utter bullshit product.

The "former lifwaver", if its the same one I remember from the debacle that happened, was kicked out of the company for fraud against the company He then goes a tries to use the concept of "patch" technology based upon 0 data or research and pass it off as a product.

As for this whole honey patch crap. When people choose to ignore all claims and data and constantly force you to start over, just because they dont understand something; well then you play ball. You find ways of explaining things to morons in the simplest terms they can grasp to meet their approval.

IF i go and make a bomb using citrus oil and fertilizer, I suppose I could say that I blew your bullcrap away with my mine + an orange.

Idiots tend to focus on the wrong concepts, their trying to explain to uneducated bureaucratic pencil pushers what the composition of the solution they use to form organic crystals, and people suddenly think its honey thats making people better (even though honey is damn good for you).

Not to mention is the processing and treatment of said solution that forms the patches, not the liquid itself.

Maybe I can explain that easier. If I was burning a piece of wood, would you suddenly start running around screaming your house is on fire? Cus yeah, woods in houses right?

I just realized I could spend the rest of my life presenting the proper counter argument and it wouldnt matter.

Ignorance is not knowing something.
Stupidity is knowing something yet refusing to accept it .

Go out and educate yourselves, dont accept what people spoon feed you or lead you around by the nose.

some of the people running these kinds of sites are actually PAID OFF by people with specific interests in mind to attempt to defame or destroy legitimate companies along with the bullshit ones(which usually do that themselves).

It has now been nearly 13 years since Dr. Stephen Haltiwanger, Lifewave's Health & Science Director, was placed on probation and stripped of his ability to write prescriptions by the Georgia state medical board. See https://services.georgia.gov/dch/mebs/jsp/index.jsp, Georgia Medical Board case no. 99-MB-00-12, order entered June 9, 2012.

He's still on probation according to that website. You'd think that he would want to complete the terms of his probation and get back into good standing with the medical board.

Joel, clearly this particular disgraced human being is among good company working for the sociopath David Schmidt!

Over the past few months, LifeWave has pushed their presence online by using, and I use that word carefully, Facebook to give their scam an apparent look of credibility.

Schmidt is now pushing new age nutritional products that instantly give you more energy. We've heard that before with the original LifeWave patches.

Again, their is no science behind it, just Schmidt's word that it all works somehow.

So, after all these years Schmidt the sociopath continues to scam people of their hard earned cash and fill rooms of hopefuls who think they will make thousands by climbing aboard the LifeWave train.

I presume you noticed that Ken Rasner has disappeared from CieAura?

Schmidt is going to receive a patent for his supposed glutathione patches. His patent application no. 12121674 entitled "Apparatus and Method of Stimulating Elevation of Glutathione Levels in a Subject" was allowed by the PTO on August 1, 2013. Schmidt merely has to pay the patent issue fee now in order to receive his patent.

His application no. 12915419 for his original energy/fat-burning patches, however, is still under rejection. He has been trying for more than 11 years now to get that application allowed. So far, no joy.

As I have posted before, whether the PTO issues a patent says nothing about whether the device works as advertised. A patent only means that the PTO opines that the device would not have been non-obvious based on the prior art, and after all, what could be more non-obvious than a device which defies the known laws of physics?

Schmidt has also filed 3 new patent applications that related to a double helix conductor. I haven't had time to read those applications and figure out what Schmidt is up to. You can read those applications by going to http://appft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-adv.html and entering in

<i>in/"schmidt, david" and ttl/helix</i>

into the search query box, then clicking on any of the 3 published patent applications that come up:

20130211181 HEALTH APPLICATIONS OF A DOUBLE HELIX CONDUCTOR
20130192129 Agricultural Applications of a Double Helix Conductor
20120223800 DOUBLE HELIX CONDUCTOR
