Well, much of the same methods for baloney they use in the diet pill business(Billions yearly), is used right here in this hobby.
They take a lot of it from the same page.
Check out Hydrilla pills sometime, they fused aquatic plants and hooky health pills
Here's a whole list of Aqua schister's:

I tear one of these hucksters apart about once a year.
Recently in our own local aquarium society, some gal with a PhD from Berekely, (and of course she claimed and used the degree as support, not logic, not data, not results, not science, not once
), I do not mention my degrees. And she underestimated me:devil:
She claimed that she had a new type of Science to promote her research, it seems well known good journals had conspired against her. So not being able to pass the muster there, she had to come up with a whole new type of science, but of course claimed it was not mainstream, but also not Pseudoscience. hohoho........
Ionized water steer manure she was hocking to the club..........
She also claimed that this professor was out of touch and old, retired and not abreast with "new research", so discrediting the critics who use logic and science
It got better, but you get the idea.
I became interested in exposing such aqua schisters from being in this hobby and seeing it all the time and then becoming mad about it and decided to do something.
So I tear into them when they stick their long long necks out.
They deserve no less.
Give those links a read, they are quite helpful.
