Uri Geller, TV personality of the seventies famous for being able to bend and break a spoon with the power of your mind (very popular in Spain after his appearance on 'Directísimo', presented by José María Iñigo ) has lost a lawsuit in which it demanded the withdrawal of a video on YouTube which shows that there was fraud.

will shortly open a Spa in Gijón and are already advertising on their advertising Thalassotherapy, an absurdity that, with the commercial appeal of the term "therapy" is becoming more fashion. One of many "therapies" alternatives that fascinate the modern consumer looking for the miracle of the different, apparently novel and easy.

I leave you with an article published this year in the log " The Marplatense Skeptical Monthly Bulletin of the Association for Rational Thought Broadcasting ( ADePENSAR ) hoping that those who can read have information beyond the anecdotal in the name of what is actually talasoterpia and I imagine that most will read the moniker and will be a misconception to the likely explanation, incomplete and partial "is a therapy (natural, of course) that uses the healing properties of seawater.

What is Thalassotherapy? Frenchman René Quinton in the late 19 th century, believed have found a number of "biological constants" which stated that the temperature, the marine environment and the salt concentration is the same in all living things because they originated in the sea, as summarized in his "General Law of Evidence" . Proof? no.
Not content with his "discovery" Quintón transferred this idea to medicine, but had no basis for it. So he created the isotonic solution based on marine plasma that very humbly named "Plasma of Quinton." What are these technical terms: plasma and isotonic solution? then: seawater.
Legend has started Quinton "Therapy" of sea water after cure of tuberculosis. Affected by this disease would have consulted a Jesuit friend who told him about a course text in Plato describes how Egyptian priests were "cures sea." Quintón took a few glasses of sea water and tuberculosis chau!

The second major step would have been to supply sea water to patients in many different disease-typhus, cholera and diarrhea, tuberculosis, skin diseases and malnutrition. " It even would have successfully applied intravenously to premature babies. His biographers claim that in their "dispensaries Marine" saved tens of thousands of lives. Only with sea water!

Quinton's ideas are as simple as absurd: the living tend to imitate the marine environment within us because life originated in the sea, the sea water is equivalent to the fluids in the blood tissue as blood is replaceable "Plasma of Quinton" (if true the opposite would be true and the fish should be developed in half blood), for all that (and although it is false and even if true it has nothing to do) water Sea cure.

Proponents are now reaching the ends of state that can revive a bleeding dog if it is transfused with sea water, or the internal environment of the human body has the same, identical, composition of seawater.

Quinton said in 1897 "There is a physiological identity between marine plasma and human plasma" and that was the whole base of his fantasy. At that time his delusions were unfounded, although there was some affinity for the miracle cures in the medical field. As historians tell us the UNMDP Irene Molinari, Silvia Reynoso Daniel Zuppa and in 1893 was created in our city and Asylum Maritime Hospital to treat children suffering from tuberculosis (coincidence?) Through sunbathing (although they called "heliotherapy" it seems more serious) and bathing they called ... yes: Thalassotherapy! Currently

know that the cure of tuberculosis is achieved through proper treatment to kill the bacillus of Koch, a simple bacterium which does not affect the sun or the sea, so go with the argument that the sea baths are therapy medical borders on criminal.

miracle manufacturers sell products claiming that sea water has therapeutic capabilities. Are the same as rediscovered Quinton, as they have then to save millions of lives with seawater would have been forgotten as well as their successes, patients and their magical treatment. (...)



pseudomedicina A variant of this is used by companies of relaxation (spa) that offer the purported properties healing of seawater through hot baths. Surely there must be very relaxing, but it is a medical practice (thalassotherapy).

unscrupulous opportunists take advantage of the trendy New Age to aggiornamiento Quintón technique and talk about rejuvenation therapies, ocean energy, the sea captures all the energy, and "radiation and cosmic emanations put on notice to all The items with the universal forces "for a spa offering a swim disguised curative therapy. In some of these areas do not apply injections of sea water (or its variant, the anus) but which have bathrooms with bizarre names (Hydrokinesitherapy, spa, jet pool, exercise pool) and other practices of doubtful effectiveness as thermal mud poultice of seaweed, algae poultice. But others also suggest dangerous treatments through the use of Quinton Plasma, for example on this site clearly states that

"The claim that sea water is equal to PLASMA, there is nothing metaphorical. Seawater leads to better blood plasma. " (...)

The parallel with homeopathy in sight. Any who wants to start a thriving business has only to look back in time, raise any nonsense of "theory" of last update to the new panorama pseudomedicinal that comes over with the blessing of the government .... and take profits.

In this case remember that Quinton did not receive any scientific training.
