I'm sure the drug companies would not agree with you on that one.

As I'm sure you're well aware, simply trying dowsing-based equipment for yourself, to decide if it is working, is a no-no. Dowsing rods are driven by the ideomotor effect, which is subject to selective memory and self-delusion. Therefore such testing methods are unreliable.
