Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Strange corners of the internet are awash with chatter about miracle devices that can cure nearly any ailment you can think of using the power of mystical energy. Some companies charge thousands for these \u201cmedbeds\u201d \u2013 but their claims are far from proven.<\/p>\n

A converted motel in a small town on the Mississippi River seems an unlikely home for a world-changing technology \u2013 what a flyer in the mostly deserted lobby calls a \u201cnew wave of scientific healing\u201d.<\/p>\n

But since last summer, this building in East Dubuque, Illinois \u2013 three hours west of Chicago \u2013 has been outfitted with medical devices that supposedly imbue patients with \u201clife force energy\u201d.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of a number of locations run by Tesla BioHealing \u2013 no relation to the car company \u2013 dotted around the US. I tried out a medbed on a recent gloomy weekday afternoon.<\/p>\n

After being greeted at the front desk, a doctor tested my energy levels by having me place my fingers inside a metal box. Then I was ushered into one of the rooms, mostly unchanged from its motel days, and I waited for \u201cpure biophoton life-force energy\u201d to stream into my body.<\/p>\n

The idea of medbeds \u2013 short either for \u201cmedical beds\u201d or \u201cmeditation beds\u201d \u2013 has become increasingly popular on fringe medical channels, on mainstream social networks and chat apps.<\/p>\n

But people have very different ideas about what they actually are. Some insist that the technology is secret, unlikely to be encountered by mere mortals, hidden from the public by billionaires and the \u201cdeep state\u201d.<\/p>\n

The more conspiratorial theorising includes speculation about \u201calien technology\u201d and bizarre claims like the idea that John F Kennedy is still alive, strapped to a medbed.<\/p>\n

A separate, more earthly avenue of thought holds that medbeds are very real and publicly available, just not part of the medical mainstream. It\u2019s this strand that Tesla BioHealing and a range of other companies are staking their rather expensive claims on.<\/p>\n

Tesla BioHealing offers home generators for prices up to $19,999 (\u00a316,500), although an hour in one of their medbed motel rooms will only set you back $160 (\u00a3130).<\/p>\n

But even in the consumer-focused medbed world, where there is no talk of aliens or JFK, there\u2019s disagreement about what a medbed actually is. And there\u2019s a very good reason for that, says Sara Aniano, a disinformation analyst at the Anti Defamation League\u2019s Centre on Extremism.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really hard to define something that doesn\u2019t exist,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Ms Aniano has been researching the spread of medbed chat online, and as part of her inquiries signed up for trial with a different medbed company, 90.10.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe trial is nothing,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt tells you to lay on your bed and think really hard about the medbed.
\n\u201cIn their defence, they do list on their website in the very fine print down at the bottom that the medbed is not meant to treat or diagnose illnesses,\u201d she says. It\u2019s a common disclaimer that we saw used in some form by just about every company offering a medbed-related product.<\/p>\n

Even though companies put out long lists of ailments that can supposedly be helped by their technologies, and provide testimonials from satisfied customers, they say that their products are not meant to replace treatments by a qualified doctor.<\/p>\n

Tesla BioHealing is no exception. The top of the company\u2019s website clearly states: \u201cWe cannot diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.<\/p>\n

\u201d And yet their promotional material states: \u201cMany people note improvements in their wellbeing even after only an hour of resting on a Tesla MedBed.<\/p>\n

\u201d They also make a number of specific, unsupported claims about particular diseases.<\/p>\n

The staff at the Tesla BioHealing motel in East Dubuque told me about legions of customers with all manner of ailments, all of whom they said had been helped by medbeds.<\/p>\n

But in my room, I felt nothing more than curiosity and a slight sense of unease as I gazed out the window at a mostly empty car park. The Tesla Medbed cannisters were sealed in wooden boxes and a bedside table.<\/p>\n

Cutting short my hour, I returned to the doctor\u2019s office where she repeated the test with my fingers in the metal box. Sure enough, my energy, as measured by the doctor\u2019s laptop, was already rising.<\/p>\n

But neither the doctor nor anyone else at Tesla BioHealing could tell me what was inside the medbed cannisters themselves. Some enterprising customers have taken it upon themselves to try to find out.<\/p>\n

We came across a TikTok video where an upset punter appears to have opened up a cannister, only to find a concrete-like substance. \u201cFor anyone who\u2019s thinking about buying one of those Tesla biohealers, don\u2019t waste your money,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

The company wouldn\u2019t be drawn on what active ingredients, if any, are inside the cannisters. But they told us in an email: \u201cThere is much more going on with our technology than meets the eye.
\nAnd while they said the Tesla cannisters were not intended to replace a doctor\u2019s care, they also made further claims of cures and said: \u201cHealth benefits are priceless.<\/p>\n

\u201d Both Tesla BioHealing and 90.10 pointed us to thousands of positive customer testimonials.<\/p>\n

And despite the prominent claim on the company website that 90.10 offers \u201cQuantumfrequency medicine with scientific proof\u201d, 90.10 chief executive Oliver Schalke told us: \u201cIt is not a medical product and was never intended to be.<\/p>\n

\u201d How, then, are the medbed companies allowed to offer their products, hint at miraculous effects, but escape any regulatory oversight?<\/p>\n

Dr Steven Barrett, a retired psychiatrist who has been investigating questionable claims for decades, says the health care regulator in the United States \u2013 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) \u2013 is partly to blame.<\/p>\n

\u201cFDA registration is required by any manufacturer who wants to market products, but it just means that you\u2019ve notified the FDA that you exist,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Tesla BioHealing and other companies advertise that they are FDA registered \u2013 but that is next to meaningless. \u201cFDA registration says nothing about whether a device is useful,\u201d says Dr Barrett.<\/p>\n

When it comes to making vague claims about general well-being or unprovable statements about increased energy, authorities \u201cdo almost nothing about it\u201d, he says.<\/p>\n

He speaks with a note of weariness, perhaps because of a lack of \u201cbiophotons\u201d but more likely the result of spending decades tracking dubious health claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo I think that exposure to whatever it is that they\u2019re giving you in the bed is going to make you more energetic? I seriously doubt that,\u201d he says. Indeed, as I began a long evening drive home from East Dubuque under cloudy skies, I felt distinctly lacking in life force energy.<\/p>\n
