Revision as of 21:57, 20 February 2019 by 207.93.211.50 (talk) (A couple of spelling errors)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Johann "John" Grander (24 April 1930 – 24 September 2012) was the Austrian inventor of the "revitalized water" technique, which has meanwhile scientifically been proven as ineffective.
Life
Grander was born in Jochberg, Tyrol, the second of five children with a difficult childhood. At the age of 13, he was trained by the Nazis to work in agriculture.
Revitalized water
Grander invented a process for treating water, producing what he called "revitalized water" (German: belebtes Wasser). According to Grander, this improves the water structure and produces a healthy environment for useful microorganisms.
In 1978, Grander gave up his profession and founded the Grander family business for original Grander technology in 1979. His approach to the study of the anamolous properties of water is similar to Masaru Emoto, Viktor Schauberger, Jacques Benveniste et al. Grander's family continue in activities for the treatment, production and marketing of revitalized water and water treatment equipment.
It is scientific consense that the claims as to how the process changes water are not supported by physics or chemistry and may be called "esoteric nonsense".
Nethertheless supporters claim that it cuts the running costs of industry from steel works to fruit canning factories, of public swimming pools, and makes for more effective water-based physiotherapy for injuries. Some companies using Grander water insist that the Grander revitalization process works and saves them money.
Legal rulings
In 2005 Ecoworld NZ Ltd was fined $60,000 and ordered to pay $68,000 in compensation to consumers that bought their Grander Living Water units. The judge said that the promotional material for these units "contained inconsistencies, quackery and pseudo-science.".
In 2006, the Viennese Oberlandesgericht ruled on the claim that seriously ill people may forgo medical treatment and trust in the effects of the revitalized water, and declared the statement to be justified and that there was no fraud involved because the vendor guarantees a right of return. Despite this, they also ruled that Grander's revitalized water may adequately be described as "esoteric mischief".
In 2009, another New Zealand company, Big Blue Limited involved in the "energised" water using "Wasser 2000 Vibration Technology" was fined $25,000 in the Auckland District Court for making false claims.
Awards
In 2001, the Republic of Austria recognized the life work of Johann Grander with the Honorary Cross for Science and Art. He is also the first and only Austrian to have been awarded the Silver Honorary Award by the Russian Academy of Natural Science.
