Novak Djokovic's QuantBioRes Promoting Quackery?

The term 'Quackery' is often used to describe medical practices that are considered to be fraudulent or unproven, despite the claims of their proponents. In the case of Novak Djokovic's biotech company, QuantBioRes, there is a growing concern that their practices may fall into this category.

Recently, Saunders published an article titled 'Is RRM—promoted by QuantBioRes 80 owned by Novak Djokovic—quackery?' providing insights into what the company is actually doing. According to the article, it appears that QuantBioRes is working on homeopathy as a cure for COVID, much to the amusement and concern of many. This raises the question: Is QuantBioRes and its President, Novak Djokovic, engaging in quackery?

Quakery or Quackery?

The term 'Quakery' is more closely associated with the Quaker faith, known for its emphasis on simplicity, truth, equality, peace, and sustainability. However, it's clear that Novak Djokovic's interests lie more in the realm of quackery, as evidenced by his embrace of 'crazy stuff related to mystical vibrations.'

Understanding QuantBioRes

QuantBioRes claims that they are working on a biophysical model called RRM (Resonant Recognition Model). The company's website states that the RRM is based on findings that certain periodicities/frequencies within the distribution of energies of free electrons along the protein are critical for protein biological function and interaction with protein receptors and other targets. This sounds scientific, but in reality, it can be considered 'gobbledegook.'

What's the Evidence?

While the website states that RRM technology enables the identification of characteristic frequencies that can be used to predict and design bioactive peptides and interfere with certain protein activity, a closer look at their website and research papers reveals a lack of substantial evidence.

For example, a paper published in 'Applied Sciences' by the company titled 'SARS-CoV-2 infects erythrocytes' is particularly concerning. This paper not only invalidates their RRM model but also lacks any rigorous scientific backing. The authors of the paper rely on pseudoscientific methods, such as the application of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to non-coding sequences of RNA, to support their claims.

Scientific Critique and Ethical Concerns

The methodology used by QuantBioRes, similar to the Numerology of RRM, is fundamentally flawed. By ignoring crucial scientific advancements like AlphaFold, the company's research is highly suspect. Additionally, their reliance on non-coding RNA and their application of FFT methods to RNA sequences is not only methodologically unsound but also far-fetched.

The quality of the research published in journals such as 'International Journal of Sciences' further reinforces concerns about the credibility of QuantBioRes. These journals are predatory and known for publishing low-quality, unethical research. The use of such journals by QuantBioRes raises serious ethical concerns and undermines the credibility of any findings they present.

Conclusion: Pseudo-Scientific Techniques and Quackery

Based on the evidence and the scientific critique presented, it is clear that QuantBioRes and its President, Novak Djokovic, are engaging in quackery. Whether this is due to a lack of genuine scientific understanding or an attempt to fraudulently separate gullible people from their cash, the result is the same. The best course of action is to avoid linking or endorsing such practices and to support truly scientific and ethical research.

While some claims made by QuantBioRes may seem intriguing, the lack of substantial evidence and the use of pseudoscientific methods make it clear that their efforts are not aligned with reputable scientific principles.
