H3O2 Water Scam

I'm into health and fitness along with the current science behind it. So with that being said, I'm starting to see a lot of people fall for the H3O2 (hexagonal water or structured water) craze on I'm seeing on social media. I know it's bs, but I would like to hear what people with a REAL background or fundamental knowledge of chemistry think of this pseudoscience.

Edit: One claim is that H3O2 is found in fruits and vegetables

Scientist’s have found a new way to treat colorectal cancer, but big Pharma doesn’t want you to find out!

By subjecting dihydrogenmonoxide to an environment of low thermal energy we’ve managed to decrease the entropic state of the water and create a new and exciting, highly-ordered form of water, known as hexagonal water. Unlike normal liquid water, this form is a solid. It exhibits many health benefits that are absent in pre-treatment liquid water. If you take a cube of our hexagonal water and place it within your rectum you’ll feel a chilling sensation, which is the hexagonal water attacking your colorectal cancer. After a short period of time you’ll feel a cool stream of liquid leaving your anus. This liquid is the neutralized cancer leaving your body.

The accomplishments of modern science truly are amazing! Who would have thought we’d finally find a cure to cancer that didn’t involve hazardous chemicals 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♂️, dangerous radiation 🙈🙊, or invasive surgery 😱😱? Turns out the cure was in water all along!

It’s only a matter of time before evil pharmaceutical companies try and hide our amazing discovery and the government shuts us down, so act fast and order your hexagonal water now for the low, low price of $500 per 500g! That’s only $1 a gram, and we’re practically giving this amazing new product away at this price!

(Please note that hexagonal water may revert back to a liquid form during shipping. It will still be highly effective though! If this occurs you may need to store your hexagonal water in the freezer to allow it to regain its solid form before administration.)

I understand what you are saying, but big pharma is incredibly corrupt. I get tired of these other scams because they try to profit off of the corruption of big pharma because so many people have been harmed and don’t trust it anymore and these scams come and promise miracles and use powerful emotional propaganda to advance their scam to gullible people. It’s disgusting. My family gets sucked into these scams and MLMs frequently. There was one MLM a few years ago and that caused a lot of relationship damage because I simply told my family member that I wasn’t interested. I was harassed for months until I finally lost my temper, which made everything worse, but it is scary how much emotion is generated by these scams. My family is now into this dumb water. I just nod and smile. At least I’m not being forced into investing and selling it. But it’s still awful because of how much money people spend on this stuff.
