Americans assume Australians are exactly like us and theyre not.  Theyre into some voodoo shit bro.

Remember Chad Reeds moon rocks he wouldn’t race without them?

In the 80s, Holden (subsidiary of GM) factory V8 Supercars were equipped with an "Energy Polarizer" that was a box of magnets and crystals.  When they offered a road-going homologation version, you could have one added as an option.

The Peter Brock Energy Polariser was a controversial, non-functional, cigarette-packet-sized device containing magnets and crystals introduced by racing driver Peter Brock in 1986. Marketed through his Holden Dealer Team (HDT), it claimed to improve vehicle handling and performance by aligning molecular structures. The device caused a major split between Brock and Holden in 1987. 
Key Details About the Energy Polariser

Purpose: Brock believed the device created a "polarized" or "ordered" molecular arrangement, which would enhance a vehicle's handling and engine performance.

Composition: It consisted of a black epoxy-resin box containing magnets and quartz crystals

.

Installation: It was typically attached to the vehicle's chassis or bulkhead.

Controversy & Fallout: Holden, the manufacturer, found no engineering evidence for its claims and demanded it be removed from all road cars.

The Split: Brock’s refusal to stop using the device resulted in Holden cutting ties with his HDT team in 1987.

Reactions: Many, including fellow drivers and journalists, ridiculed the device.

Legacy: Despite being a commercial failure, the "polariser" is now a collector's item and a significant, albeit bizarre, part of Australian automotive history.

Noah Viney was the first rider sponsored by them; that's how they got tied into the sport through him. Since then, they've sponsored the teams he's been a part of, such as SLR Honda, MCR Honda, and now ISRT Kawasaki.

This explains a lot about Noah Viney 😆

Let me get my rubber band bracelet with the magnet in it back out. 

Funny story about those balance bracelets. They were a huge craze when I was in middle school and even 13 year old me knew they had to be a scam. I was walking the mall one day after school when a man running a kiosk selling them came up to me and asked me to try and push him over to prove the bracelet helped his balance and with the performance of the magnet he’d never be able to fall. I asked if the man behind him could push him instead. As he turned to look behind him I gave him a big push and the guy fell to the ground like a bowling pin. I immediately ran towards the exit and yelled back “yours must have been defective”.

One of the main sports medicine guys in this sport is a chiropractor who practices miles outside his scope of practice, so whoever is behind this product is probably pretty optimistic about getting into moto.

The 3rd line says it all. "The only thing that changes circumstances is a change in your state of mind". So there ya go. You spend 25 bucks and are convinced you're going to have more energy, so you do. (To me) it's just a way to get people to believe in themselves, a mind trick.  I'm going to pretend I ordered 2 batches and started yesterday...... ohhhmmmm... Holy shit I feel more energetic already, this stuff really works !   

 God people are gullible but whatever good for them for cashing in on it and putting $ into moto. I'm getting one for my truck too, probably get better mileage and maybe the cd player will stop skipping too lol.   

 

Are you pushing yourself with limited resources? Financial constraints, physical discomfort, lack of energy and negative thinking patterns?  How can you truly live and work at your best when these kinds of obstacles are holding you back?

The only thing that changes circumstances is a change in your state of mind.

With Quantum Upgrade you can reach your potential by harnessing the unlimited power of quantum energy.

Quantum Upgrade is the ultimate remote quantum wellness service that provides you with unlimited access to more life force energy. Instead of pushing yourself physically and you can use energy to push your own boundaries.

That Albert Einstein guy taught us that matter is a form of energy.
Anyone with an internal combustion engine knows the form of energy can be changed when other energy acts on it.

I can't speak to this company's products and services, but in general there is a high level of electro magnetic radiation pollution in our lives.
Our body is an energy system, charged by what we eat, the Sun, and the Earth's natural magnetic fields. 

If there is too much non-native energy in our environment, it disrupts and reduces the function of an organism.

That's been going on for decades....Doc Metzger from the 80's and 90's comes to mind as the original quack that practiced way out of the Chiropractic bounds....

Schrödinger's athletic enhancement

🤔  But, but, but…is the cat alive or dead? Does it matter? 

This Quantum Upgrade…does it come with some sort of Particle Sensor or Particle Counter…maybe a Particle Separator…so that you only get the good particles…?

How about a Particle Filter? Because, exactly WHICH particles are they utilizing for this performance boost?

Are we saying that the Gauge Bosons are/aren’t applicable?

Here’s what I do know, since I was a kid…I’d go outside and “stand in the sun” & you could feel the photons. You can feel that energy. Hell, my dog, Milo…he goes out and feels it. Especially in cold seasons…winter, early spring…late fall… 🤣

Photons are free. No membership or decal required. And they’re fresh! They’re only 8 minutes old. So, go get some free “particle performance”! Just like Milo! Experience the quantum of light.

LOL Yeah pretty much, but here's a real thinker;

How does mainstream science and medicine explain the placebo effect?  
They know it's real. It's the standard that drugs have to beat in efficacy before going to market. 

If your body is a collaboration of energy systems,
 and energy fields can be changed, 
It's not a stretch to think your systems could be changed.

Okay with the magnet bracelets and titanium necklace stuff, even though it was a clear scam, you at least got a product. This is just like.... Give us 25 dollars and we will blast your house with an energy ray. Trust me bro.

I've always found that so crazy with the US side of the sport. And nobody is questioning it.

Usually going to be more of a licensing issue, and if nobody is complaining, nobody is going to look into it. 

A group of chiropractors on a licensing board aren't going to be very motivated to go after one of their own for scope of practice issue. 

Chiropractors have done an excellent job lobbying and suing their way to legitimacy that isn't otherwise deserved, so they know how to play the game. They'll probably subpoena vital for my contact info so they can sue me for this post.

Chiropractors are doctors.   Some are really helpful, others not so much, pretty much the same as any profession.

A doctor in the medical field is someone with an MD or DO, sorry my dude but chiropractors are absolutely not doctors in the typical definition
