I'm a scientist and a researcher. I have these Special Bottles of Boiled Water (SBoBW) that will help your health, your plants' health, your car battery's health (if deionized first), and the cleanliness of your driveway, among other things.

I can't prove that it's better than water you boil yourself, you just have to believe me that it will.

It may help you cure cancer, prevent heart attacks (if you drink it warm), reduce the possibility of you catching a cold, flu, gonorrhea, syphilis, promote world peace, end world hunger, shut paris hilton up, overclock your pc (requires the purchase of a SuperMagicYinYang Watercooling Kit), give you a sixpack, power your car (requires a special engine and lots of imagination), and make you rich and successful. That's what the supplier tells me anyway, so it's definitely all true.

All for the bargain RM500 per 1L bottle, please. Bulk discounts available, please PM me.
High-volume customers can opt for the Terrestrial Application Provider system. With this TAP, you will have instant access to SBoBW by simply turning a knob on a device that sticks out of your sink! Only available on special request. Only available in areas with a piped water supply, which is needed to .... run the special mechanics in the TAP.

Actually, it's either ignorance or the placebo effect. There's a huge, huge market selling items that provide questionable benefits - not only for health, but also for things that supposedly improve the sound of your hifi, improve fuel economy, 6-minute abs, Noni juice, etc etc.

Just because people buy a product, it doesn't mean it actually works. It just means humans are susceptible to the placebo effect. Or they're just gullible.

With the truly dodgy products, throw in some halfbaked scientific-sounding technobabble rubbish description and many people would believe it without doing research first.

Ah? Don't be silly! Buy my Special Bottles of Boiled Water! I haven't seen anyone get any side effects from it ... in normal quantities anyway. It comes from a natural source that will help your health and provide many other unspecified mystery benefits too.
