Tad and all - 
The retired chemist you refer to is a skeptic 
of alternative water concepts and treatment 
technologies.
Sceptics websites are a great place to get started
on what you should be checking into for holistic
health and alternative agriculture. 
On the other hand, an old rule of thumb when 
you venture into alternative technologies 
is the use of discernment.
For that reason, I will read skeptics websites 
with an open mind as a reality check.  Do the
concepts and technologies have merit, are they
marketing bunk, is the topic presented accurate
or is it confusd, do the concepts and technologies
merit further research and discovery on your
own part. 
Since there are now dozens of journals and 
books that deal with various aspects of 
alternative agriculture and holistic and 
complementary and alternative medicine, there 
is substantial authoritative information to 
draw upon when venturing into topics like 
homeopathy, subtle energy, bio-resonance, 
vortex water, evaluation methods, etc. 
One of the first major science books in
agriculture to look into biotransmutation
and related alternative topics was "Alternative 
Methods in Agriculture", edited by R. Boeringa,
published in 1980 by Elsevier Scientific 
Publishing Co., essentially the proceedings
of a scientific symposium held in the mid-1970s. 
Vortex water, scalar energy, copper coils, 
magnetism and other energetic technologies 
are part of modern day homepathics, alternative 
agriculture, and  holistic medicine for 
a reason.  
A few months back I ame across an on-farm compost 
tea study where SFI lab data showed greater biology 
in compost teas brewed with scalar energy devices 
compared to plain water, where all other conditions 
for compost, ingredients, and brewers were held 
the same.  It was a simple study, but based on
the lab results and the microscopic pictures of
biology, it showed there is merit to energetically 
enhanced water and biological response.
