Is the Bio Disc medically effective?

The product description says

Bio Disc is able to redefine and harmonise the energy of water, greatly maximising its positive affect on the human body

Their website says

[...] numerous independent scientific tests verified the Bio Disc’s ability to positively harmonise energy [...]

Does anyone have any references to these scientific tests?

    The fact that the BioDisc website doesn't offer any references should be enough of a clue. The only way it could "work" is via placebo effect... – Dmitry Brant Dec 04 '12 at 19:36

    "redefine and harmonize the energy of water"... what the hell does that even _mean?_ Last I checked, water is not an a capella group. – Brian S Nov 19 '14 at 16:40

I would say it doesn't work.

I found this

"As a scientist, I was astonished. It didn't surprise me that I couldn't find any scientific experiments [Emoto] has performed or any peer-reviewed journal articles that have been published describing controlled studies of Emoto's work. A further search revealed that Emoto's degree was from the Open International University in India, where an M.D. degree costs $500 and a Ph.D. costs $350, no classes or tests required."

and this:

Is Masaru Emoto For Real?!! Blog: Review and analysis of Dr. Masaru Emoto’s published work on the effects of external stimuli on the structural formation of ice crystals.

"After the lengthy review of Emoto's research methods and results, I have come to believe that Dr. Emoto is offering pseudo-science to the masses in the guise of defensible research."

And I think this comment by Masaru Emoto is particularly illuminating :

In fact, in the Maui News interview, Dr. Emoto specifically stated, “I do not require any blind tests on any samples,” but rather he believes that “the researcher’s aesthetic sense and character is the most important aspect when taking crystal photographs.”
