Comment on Crystals

NASA is pretty into electromagnetic frequencies being actively healthy for humans, specifically promoting neural tissue regeneration, so try not to unilaterally dismiss everything crystal hippies say.
babies, bathwater, all that.

Important point, this wasn’t electromagnetic radiation, this was straight electric fields from electrodes.

nope, this study specifically focuses on the neuronal regenerative effects of electromagnetic fields, not simple electric fields:
“The present investigation details the development of model systems for growing two- and three-dimensional human neural progenitor cells within a culture medium facilitated by a time-varying electromagnetic field (TVEMF).”
The study is interesting and informative about fundamental biological effects of magnetism, for anyone who wants to read it.

Yes, it’s specifically oscillating fields, but it’s not the kind of electromagnetic field you’d get from a crystal lamp, a magnet bracelet, or even a WiFi router.

phew, good thing nobody made any of those claims.
what are you talking about?
NASA is very specifically studying and documenting clinically significant physiological effects of low-amplitude pulsed electromagnetic fields.
crystals and magnet bracelets don’t emit electromagnetic fields at all, and NASA isn’t claiming they do.
why are you replying to me with arguments against your own false assumptions?
neither my comments nor NASA’s studies have anything to do with what you’re talking about.
