Quantum biofeedback

Quantum biofeedback is a repackaging of biofeedback to encompass such respected New Age medical concepts as chakras, acupuncture meridians, energy-fields and the EM "smog" from modern living. But it is quantum. It also claims to identify a wide-range of stress and health issues while selling expensive hardwareComparison of major energetic-medicine devices on the market (2014). and software.Quantum Infinity App, an iPad app. Unlike conventional biofeedback techniques where a subject mentally controls bodily rhythms via audio-visual cues, quantum biofeedback system are often claimed to impart their own healing signals to the body.
==Inventor==
The idea of quantum biofeedback was invented by William Nelson, who fled from the US after lawsuits related to his false claims of healing the sick with his fake device. It appears he is now operating from Budapest, Hungary, where he markets machines that do not cure diseases as claimed and that can even be dangerous.Miracle Machines: The 21st-Century Snake Oil. They cure cancer, reduce cholesterol, even eliminate AIDS. Their operators say these "energy medicine" devices work by transmitting radio frequencies or electromagnetic waves through the body, identifying problems, then "zapping" them. Their claims are a fraud. The Seattle Times has found that thousands of these unproven devices — many of them illegal or dangerous — are used in hundreds of venues nationwide (Thursday, September 3, 2009 - Page updated at 03:10 p.m.) Seattle Times (archived copy from April 29, 2012).
==Science or woo?==
In short — it's woo.
==Fatalities==
Karen McBeth, who was fighting terminal bone cancer, paid $17,000 for an EPFX machine, having been told that it would cure her cancer. The machine would display a rotating cancer image on the screen, for a random number of minutes, then would display the sentence, "You are cured." it did not cure her spreading cancer and her family complained that because she travelled to useless treatments, and spent $17,000, that not only were they defrauded out of money, but they lost some of the little time they had left with her. Her husband eventually hooked the machine up to a hot dog, which the machine also claimed to have cured it. More on this story in an article by the Seattle Times.How one man's invention is part of a growing worldwide scam that snares the desperately ill by Christine Willmsen and Michael J. Berens (Originally published November 18, 2007 at 12:00 am Updated November 19, 2007 at 9:35 am) Seattle Times.
JoAnn Burggraf used EPFX instead of seeing doctors and died painfully from undiagnosed leukaemia.
The EPFX Awareness blog has plenty more coverage of this pernicious bullshit.
