It's a bit like Matthew Manning, the psychic I mentioned before. He says, "Hey look I can do all these things with my thoughts - kill cancer cells, bend metal spoons, move objects just by thinking about them etc etc. Now I volunteer to spend the next five years of my life doing whatever scientists want me to do, in their labs."
And he does, and three of those five years of research are done at Cambridge University, and all the scientists are amazed, and they are wowed, and they write scientific papers about it etc etc.
But because it is so far out, so beyond the ability of conventional science to explain, all these experiments just stay outside of mainstream knowledge. So after five years, Matthew Manning just gets bored, and he leaves, and he continues to do what he does best - faith healing - and yes, doctors do refer patients to him.
Your attack on Emoto's academic credentials is self-deceptive. The fact is, in past discussions I've also cited scientists / researchers of impeccable academic qualifications - Brian Weiss, Ian Stephenson, Fred Alan Wolf etc. You haven't been convinced either. So academic credentials is not the real issue -whether they have a PhD from Harvard or an obscure diploma from an unknown institution, you still disbelieve whatever you feel like disbelieving. The real issue lies within yourself.
