It appears, however, that one of the poor fools suckered into the pyramid scam as a distributor hasn't yet got the word to remove this Laundry Ball testimonial from his website. Since I'm not sure how much longer it will remain there, I'm including the entire text in this message. http://www.seymourtex.com/cybermall/shops/laundsol/works.htm From: TradeNet Marketing, Inc. To: TradeNet Distributors: Dear Distributor, One of the most frequently asked questions we encounter is "How does the Laundry Solution work?" The Following is an official, technical explanation you will find useful and informative for retail customers and for new distributors. How does The Laundry Solution work? TradeNet's laundry products use a revolutionary new technology which enhances nature's most perfect solvent -- pure water. By manipulating the electric fields associated with hydrogen and oxygen atoms, crystals are formed in the shape of electrical keys. These keys fit into locks and bonds of other compounds to dissolve away dirt much like the action of enzymes in the digestive system. These crystals retain their form in boiling liquids. Ie Crystals, although completely benign to man and the environment, can perform and enhance reactions formerly only possible by chemicals, soaps and detergents. "The smaller the particle you can manipulate, the greater the effect." Dr. Shui-yin Lo, nuclear physicist, said. "These electric fields only a few billionths of a meter but are analogous to forces generated by approximately 100,00 volts across one millimeter. We use such charges not only to grow Ie Crystals, but tailor them to fit different chemical reactions." Lo has labeled the procedures surrounding the manufacturing of these particles "Nanotricity" (from nanometer and electricity) and has developed numerous technologies which utilize the crystal's ability to perform work. "Many people are sensitive to detergents. Today's houshold varieties are laced with dyes, fragrances, surfactants (chemicals added to detergents which aid in breaking down oils and fats), oxidizing agents, etc. Soaps and detergents work by enhancing the water's native ability to dissolve dirt. Detergents reduce the surface tension of the water thereby enhancing the dissolving action. Foaming agents create little bubbles to help carry away the dirt and oil from the cloth, so it can all be rinsed away." "The real work is done by the interchange of tiny electric charges. These are normally supplied by the detergent and work with the water. But we can supply these little workers with our Ie . They can work just as hard as detergents but they are harmless to our world. One can get the same effect, without creating the environmental problems caused by detergents. We are not saying that one might not need some additional washing agents for particular stains, just like some detergents won't remove ink from your white shirt, I'm afraid there are no absolutes her, but to replace the action of detergents -- it's not difficult. We do it every day." Very best regards, The Staff of TradeNet Marketing, Inc. 1497 Main Street Suite 301 Dunedin, Florida 34698 Phone: (813) 738-1222 Fax: (813) 738-0802
