Orac is one of my favorite science bloggers. What he wrote below made me laugh, so go read, eh?
[I]t turns out that Dr. Milgrom is a prolific little bastard when it comes to fusing quantum mechanic jargon with homeopathy to produce a highly toxic mixture of woo whose effect on my brain was such that I'm still recovering from trying to read the whole thing. Indeed, another reader sent me four articles by Milgrom, all chock full of the same toxic woo brew (apologies to our latest host of the Skeptics' Circle). After a few pages, my brain's energy field must have become quantumly entangled with that of Dr. Milgrom at the subatomic level. Or something. Either way, my brain hurt too much before I could finish all of that woo. I think my neurons were rebelling as the homeopathic quantum woo field assaulted them.
Warmest Greetings,
I thoroughly enjoyed your post immensely, these are issues I fully agree with ans some that I don't.
I have studied and taught much on the mind over 40+ years and quite honestly, have not found all that much that truthfully works.
However the field of brain entrainment is not one of them. It's a field that has been validated tame and agin by the scientific community. I feel that exploring binaural and isochronic beats is a most worthwhile technology, and can offer speedy results if executed correctly.
It's still an experimental field and not all beats are equally effective, but like wine, I'm certain this will improve in time. You can gain some level of in-depth information here: http://www.learn-mind-power.com as well as various other sites on the web. But anyhow, you have an extremely interesting topic here and I feel privileged that you let me share this with you.
