Transcript of the above interview
Alan: Today I'm talking to John Gearon, who's the director of Q-Link, Australia, and John's on the line to discuss Q-Link with us, so...are you there, John?
John: Yes I am Alan.
Alan: John, I guess one of the things that I'm a bit fascinated about being someone who's worn the q-link for a while is how does it actually work? Can you tell us a little bit about that?
John: The Q-Link is a wearable technology and it comes in a pendant form. There are three major components that go to make up the Q-Link pendant. At the essence of the Q-Link is a technology called SRT, which stands for sympathetic resonating technology, which is then housed, in a cellular form.
Alan: And how did it actually come about in the first place?
John: A gentleman by the name of Robert Williams founded a company called Clarus, which is Latin for clarity. And he originally designed a box that put a vibration out of this resonating tone which really harmonized with the sound or the function of the human body, which allowed the human body to get back into balance. So they found people functioned better, they had less fatigue, less stress, and had just an overall performance increase and that was in a device that would plug into a wall.
And then, in conjunction with the University of California and Stanford University they actually devised a way to put it into a pendant form so that the resonating cell would get power from the human body.
Alan: Wow. OK, so the device, it seems to me, is primarily designed to help people resist or overcome the stress we have in our natural environment, not so much the stress we might have in our relationships say, but the external environment; electromagnetic fields and so on. Is that a fair comment?
John: Correct. The body goes out of balance in three different areas. Emotional, the meaning we put to certain things, environmental stress whether it be temperature, climate and other factors whether they be man-made environmental changes such as electromagnetic fields, and what we eat. The Q-Link really helps with the first 2, really helping the body to get back in balance. Because each time, whether it's by emotional or environmental stress, our whole biochemistry in our body starts to resonate at a different frequency which isn't going to serve ourselves, and that will show up in headaches and stress and fatigue and a whole lot of other symptomology. So with the Q-Link with the resonating cell, it just helps all those cells harmonize more effectively with each other, and helps the resilience of the body combat the stresses of what they are trying to fight.
Alan: And my guess is that this would pretty much explain like when people get onto airplanes, for example I went over to Chicago not too long ago. That's a pretty long flight. In fact from Perth, here, it's actually three flights. Perth-Sydney, and then Sydney-L.A. and then L.A.-Chicago. Now I was using the Earth Star therapeutic ionizer the whole trip. And on the last leg of my trip back to Perth, I was chatting with the airline hostess and the guy next to me who was coming in from Arizona and they were both amazed. They said "You've just come all the way from Chicago, no stops and you're just looking fresh and bright." They just couldn't believe it. Could the Q-Link help explain that?
John: Absolutely. In that environment you have a lot of stresses on the body. You have the stress of being organized and the stress of traveling which causes a lot of emotional stress. Physical stress also occurs in planes. As you know, now when you fly you have to turn off all mobile phones and electronic devices because the plane is ridden with electronic stresses. And on international flights, you have a TV screen right behind your head so that the lady or gentleman in the seat behind you can watch TV, so you've got a microprocessor right where your head is in each seat. All that energy in the plane starts to stress the body out in a big way. What the Q-Link does is help resonate the body so it builds up its resilience to combat those stressors.
Alan: [sirens heard over the phone] Sounds like some stress in the background with those fire engines going by. Sorry, go on.
John: [Laughs] So, when the body starts to get stressed, it resonates a different frequency, and it inhibits a lot of the different functions of the body. The Q-Link just helps harmonize the body so that it goes back to balance. So when each cell goes to communicate, be it thought process, muscle contraction or general function, it is a stronger, more powerful signal, so the body isn't under duress just with everyday function
Alan: Great. I know you travel a lot. How have you found it, personally?
John: I find it phenomenal. I travel extensively and I've never had the symptomology of what people call "Jet-Lag". I travel extensively, I compete on an elite level in different sports. I'm also older than a lot of the people I compete with and the only difference I can point to in my life is the Q-Link.
Alan: I know you have a lot of testimonials from athletes around the world. Can you tell us a couple of recent ones or a couple that come to mind?
John: Well, one of the major things we hear from people is that they are sleeping better. Wearers also report that they have less headaches, they have improved physical or emotional performance, higher ability to make decisions and stick to them. With athletes, they tend to wake up more rested, being able to focus on their actively more consistently. The difference between an average athlete and an outstanding athlete is the ability to be confident more consistently. All golfers will hit a great shot now and then. But the golfers who hit great shots all the time are the ones who compete at the elite level. Getting the body to function at an optimum level all the time will make you hit great shots all the time.
Alan: Yes, I guess if you take out more elements of distraction, such as these electromagnetic fields, it would allow the athlete to focus better, wouldn't it?
John: For sure. Electromagnetic fields are just one of the stressors out there. It's a stress that we do not see. Yet there are a lot of other stressors out there. A lot of people get stressed about their mobile phone, but if they look at the content of the conversation, there's usually a lot more stress in that than the phone itself.
Alan: I saw on your website an example of how the brain functions before using a mobile phone and then while using a mobile phone. Then there is a chart for the person using the mobile phone while wearing the Q-Link. It seems that their brain function goes almost right back to how it was before they started using the mobile phone.
John: Yes, Dr. Rodney Croft did a study on that in Wollongong and that's available on my website, qlink.com.au under the scientific page. He studied brain function when using a mobile phone, when not using a mobile phone, and when using a mobile phone and wearing a Q-Link. And what he found is that the brain functions at a normal level when using a mobile phone and wearing a Q-Link.
Alan: The article is quite outstanding, and I'd recommend that people get online and have a look at that. One of the other things I wanted to say is that my wife, Lesley, has been using a Q-Link, and she is just a raving fan of it. It's quite interesting, I guess it was a few weeks ago now, for some reason she took it off and forgot then to put it back on. For about three days she was very fidgety and just not her normal self and I asked her "Have you got your Q-Link on" and she said "No" and when she put it back on she calmed down and seemed to revert back to normal. It was almost like a blind test. She didn't really know that she had taken it off and then she went for that three days, it was outstanding.
John: That does pop up a lot, I had a gentleman, recently, he was actually in the Navy, and from talking to some of his mates he was certainly out of balance, more stressed and more volatile verbally. And then we he saw me he told me that he had been frustrated for about a week now cause he had lost his Q-Link. And I said "Is this frustration because you lost your Q-Link or because of other things". And we got him a Q-Link and within a day he was back to normal again and that blew him away. He'd been wearing one for about four years and there was a total distinction between when he was and when he wasn't wearing it. He didn't really consciously appreciate the full depth benefits of it until he took it off. And that happens in a lot of cases where people will take it off for a period of time because they've forgotten why they wore it, and then put it back on and notice a real shift. It's not something we recommend for people, but a lot of people say "Well, I just feel great wearing it."
Alan: Of course you do have a money back guarantee, and that speaks a lot about the confidence you have in your product. I don't imagine you get a lot of them back.
John: We get a very small percentage of them back and of course we give people a 100-day money back guarantee. And if people have been wearing them for 30-60 days, they'll certainly notice some distinctions, subtely at first and then more and more as they look back. It's almost been like medicine sometimes. It's all about feedback we get from people when they think about how they feel wearing it both pre- and post-. That's why we feel totally certainty giving people a 100-day money back guarantee because all the test we have are great, but the real test comes from the individual wearer.
Alan: There are three different models. There's the new one, which is very classy, and then the silver and the gold. Is there any difference in the functionality of it?
John: The technology in all of them is the same; it really just comes down to which one of them people prefer to wear. It's all about cosmetic appearances. They're not getting any extra benefit by the more they invest in the product.
Alan: If people want to get the Q-Link, they can do it in a couple different ways. We've even organized a special deal. If, when they order, they mention Earth Star, they get free shipping. If they order the silver Q-Link they will get a free silver chain, is that right?
John: That's correct, a free silver snake chain
Alan: That's great, and if they order the gold one, they get a free $100 off. If they want to order they can call your 1-800 number or order online at qlink.com.au. When they go to the order form, there are a number of buttons where people can say where they heard about the product. If they click on the one that says "Earth Star" this will be the cue for the Q-Link to be shipped to you for free. And of course if you ring the 1-800 number...what is the 1-800 number?
John: It's 1-800-175-465.
Alan: Great, ring that number and make sure that you mention Earth Star and you'll get that free shipping. I think that it's very well worth a try. I'm wearing one now, my wife wears one, and I've also bought one for each of the kids and they love them. Well John, thanks for your time.
John: Thank you.
