  • the plate may work by etheric energy. It has been suggested that as a whole being, the human body may resonate to a broad spectrum of etheric frequencies. If the human being is healthy, these frequencies are in perfect harmony to one another. Etheric energy moves in a vortex fashion, because the vortex provides least resistance to the flowing motion. It follows that physical matter, which is materialised etheric energy, seeks the same low-resistance motion, and water and air have this same intrinsic vortex motion.
  • Debilitating outside influences such as disease forming (pathogenic) organisms, resonate to etheric frequencies which are dissonant or disharmonious to the energy field. If these pathogenic organisms become lodged within our bodies or water or air, they interfere with and disrupt the harmony of the energy field. It is the same as if an instrument in an orchestra is out of tune, it puts the whole orchestra out of kilter and disrupts the harmonious orchestral sound.

  • the pathogens tend to disrupt the harmony of the air and water energy, the pathogens' frequencies may be blocked and die off.
  • This etheric energy also keeps electromagnetic fields in check, such as damaging radiation from computers, mobile phones and microwave ovens. As noted, the inventor does not wish to be bound to this theory of operation.
  • the present invention may be used by placing a treatment device on the ceiling in a home which will help to keep unwanted pathogens from the home and help to maintain good health.

  • Reference to a plate may be understood to be reference to a treatment device. Smaller plates may be made for home use and flexible wraps for drinking bottles so the etheric frequencies may be transmitted to the water.
  • placing a smaller plate in front of a computer may also help in health. Plates may be small enough to carry in a pocket, and may also assist in jet-lag.
  • the plate may be suitable for heated pools, cooling towers, mould, mould odour, and in hospitals against infection in theatres and surgical wards. Keeping a plate on the bench in a home may help to stop fruit and vegetables from ripening too quickly.

  • the sheeting may be 1.6mm thick and has a gauss reading of 600. Covering the sheeting may reduce the output by 30%, so the actual output is only about 400 gauss which keeps the output at a very low frequency range. This may be harmless to humans but detrimental to pathogens.
  • the colours of the rainbow can also be beneficial in that they help to create multiple frequencies. Up to seven colours may help in keeping the body in harmony. Using the colours in different variations also helps to keep different pathogens away from the body.
