I'll respond up here so it's not hidden. Is relevant.

The Freemasons and later the MK folk, all used red crystals, like rubies on me. That was one of the triggers. The German MK Doctor's all carried huge gem stones in rings or pendants, taken from their homeland victims. Well connected American Doctors could obtain these as well. It was status and power.

Quartz crystals were not used on me until much later. These were polished to cast rainbows, like hang in a window. By that time even a flashlight was enough. Now that I remember these triggers their power seems to have vanished. What a relief. @argosciv

Wasn't expecting such an interesting response here, I must say.

My question. I've met several people hugely involved in crystals. I try and keep an open mind. All were bat-shit crazy as loons. If crystals did that to them, I don't want any thank you very much. This video has a similar feeling. Good vibes and thankfulness seem a better resource for living. What do you make of the crystals business? Others with experience?

I've also met several people who've found ways to include crystals/stones in their lives, some of these people are a little loony, others not so much. I've read varying literature about them(crystals/stones), some of it follows a very practical and logical premise regarding the physics and the composition and how certain crystals are indeed useful for various applications, including medicinal tinctures.

In saying that though, some of the literature does get a bit woo-ey and fluffy - conversely, a lot of information is out there about taking proper care when it comes to having crystals around/with you, or when using them to make tinctures and etc; misuse or mistreatment of some crystals/stones can absolutely lead to poisoning and other negative impacts.

I wouldn't say it's impossible for cystals to have detrimental impact - whether physically or psychologically, but, I'd venture to say that other factors would be involved any time the misuse or misunderstanding of crystals/stones results in damage to a person.

As far as things go in terms of the "crystals business", well, it's none too different from the jewlery business, ultimately. There's plenty of room to exploit the gullible in both courts there, but, I'd venture to say that a crystal shop would offer you much more for your dollar, regardless of your use for the product, than would a jewler in most cases. Jewlers charge how much for a tiny pin-head-sized diamond, while a crystal shop will have all sorts of variety and sometimes the wares for making home-made jewlery, for far less...

Then of course, we have the subject of how common diamonds really are, versus the price paid by westerners, versus the methods of obtaining diamonds...

Maybe it's not so off-topic :P

Thank you for being so diligent and thoughtful, @argosciv. I know you're on it and that you care. My God, the system is so sick. Let's stay hopeful and keep vigilant. Keep up the research, kid!
