Geoclense is sold as a “Geopathic Stress and Electromagnetic Radiation Harmonizer”. The product, supplied by Victorian company Orgone Effects Australia, is a solid block of green plastic resin with a plug moulded into the back. It has no components or circuitry – it is simply the block and a plug. http://www.skeptics.com.au/2017/03/27/choice-rubbishes-home-harmonizer-no-effect-and-a-waste-of-money Geoclense Home Harmonizer review https://www.choice.com.au/electronics-and-technology/gadgets/tech-gadgets/articles/geoclense-home-harmonizer-review Orgone Geoclense Home Harmonizer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Al295UQas Also...
