Ethics and greed

Antoine Bechamp was a true scientist. Louis Pasteur was a scientist, but also a bit entrepreneurial, and very politically connected. Antoine Bechamp authored originally ideas, innovated theories based on rigorous analysis and research, and was pure genius. Pasteur borrowed and swiped from Bechamp, his contemporary, gave it a twist, called it his own, and through political maneuvering “won the day” and a place in history. A street named after Pasteur leads from Stanford University’s campus directly to the medical school. And to my knowledge, there is no street on campus named after Bechamp.

We live in an internet environment where people freely rip off the hard, genuine knowledge work of others. While there may be “nothing new under the sun,” there are original thoughts and thought forms that are worthy of credit. And then there are slick websites and web marketers that boast weightlessly of superiority.

Martin Luther King praised content of character. Perhaps in web-based marketing of home pulsating electromagnetic field devices he would have valued “original content” and “genuine character” free of greed.

Beware of those who will say anything to sell something. Or those who claim unsubstantiated superiority. Or those who give your conscience a cold, prickly feeling when they start to plant doubts in your head about others. Some one as sly and crafty as a lawyer can make you believe they are as knowledgeable as a doctor by calling themselve a “doctor” (in this case the title “juris doctor” (J.D.) is accurate, but oh, so misleading. Greed runs through it all. Such self-serving business behavior will ruin relationships early, and in the end, possibly ruin entire markets.

Nearly every home could benefit from magnetic resonance stimulation. Will greedy, slick marketers ruin the opportunity for all by preying upon the hard groundwork laid by others?
