Quantum Supremacy Review: Magic hologram wristbands
Quantum Supremacy is run as part of one of Alexander (Alex) Loyd’s websites (“dralexwholelifehealing.com”).
Lloyd styles himself as a Doctor, through a PHD ND (Naturopathic Doctor).
Lloyd’s website links to Quantum Nutritional Life (“quantumnutrtionallife.com”), which is owned and operated by Larry Napier.
Napier and Lloyd appear on Quantum Supremacy webinars together. As far as I can tell they are the two principals behind Quantum Supremacy.
Their respective roles within the company however are not clarified.
To the best of my knowledge Quantum Supremacy is both Alex Loyd and Larry Napier’s first MLM opportunity.
Update 26th April 2020 – I’ve received confirmation that prior to Quantum Supremacy, Larry Napier was promoting the OneCoin Ponzi scheme.
Napier was part of Denis Murdock’s team of US OneCoin promoters (2018-2019). /end update
Read on for a full review of Quantum Supremacy.
Quantum Supremacy’s Products
Quantum Supremacy market hologram wristbands.
As per Quantum Supremacy’s marketing;
THE QUANTUM³ TECHNOLOGY CAN INSTANTLY-IMPACT YOUR LIFE IN THREE WAYS!
INSTANTLY, INCREASE YOUR ENERGY, ENDURANCE, STRENGTH AND STAMINA.
INSTANTLY, DEFY THE AGING PROCESS
INSTANTLY, PROTECT YOUR BODY’S CELLS FROM OUTSIDE DESTRUCTIVE FORCES
A Quantum Supremacy wirstband retails for $200. A three-pack is also available for $500.
According to Larry Napier’s Quantum Nutritional Life website, the wristbands were created by Mike Flint.
Flint (right) is a strength and conditioning coach by trade.
Quantum Supremacy claim their wristbands can increase physical performance, assist with cellular rejuvenation and health protection.
Quantum Supremacy’s wristbands are not FDA approved to treat, cure or manage any medical conditions.
Any claims the company makes on its website about its wristbands are not backed by peer-reviewed evidence.
Quantum Supremacy’s Compensation Plan
Quantum Supremacy affiliates are paid on the sale of wristbands to retail customers and recruited affiliates.
Quoted commissions on personal sales to retail customers and recruited affiliates are $30 and $70.
Although not clarified, I believe these amounts correspond to the sale of a single wristband (retail: $200) and the triple pack (retail: $500).
Sales by personally recruited affiliates pay $5 and $10.
Residual Commissions
Quantum Supremacy pays residual commissions via what appears to be a 2-up compensation structure, tracked via a unilevel team.
A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):
If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.
If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.
The 2-up nature of the compensation plan sees an affiliate pass up commissions generated by their first two recruits.
Quantum Supremacy affiliates are paid from their third recruit onward, as well as their generated downlines (capped down five levels).
- $7 and $15 is paid on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates from the third recruit)
- $6 and $15 is paid on level 2
- $5 and $10 is paid on levels 3 to 5
Recruited affiliates must also pass up their first two recruits, thus making it possible to earn pass-up commissions down a theoretical infinite number of unilevel team levels.
Joining Quantum Supremacy
Quantum Supremacy affiliate membership costs $80.
The company charges $50 and takes the remaining $30 from an affiliate’s first commission payment.
Conclusion
Every now and then an MLM company comes along hocking these stupid hologram products.
Over the years we’ve covered CieAura, LivinItGlobal, , OXO and Aegea (now Energentics).
Bottom line?
If there was an ounce of evidence to these plastic holograms providing any medical benefits to the human body, there’d be medical studies supporting the claims.
There aren’t. And why there aren’t should be obvious.
Like every hologram product, Quantum Supremacy’s look like something you can find on Alibaba for a few dollars. That said, I did run a quick search and didn’t find anything obvious.
Plenty of similar looking hologram wristbands though, many of which start at less than a dollar a piece.
In an attempt to pseudo-compliance there way out of an FDA investigation, Quantum Supremacy’s website states:
The phrases on this website that coincide with medical terms such as diagnosis, patient/client, therapy, treatment and healing are not to be interpreted in a legal sense.
I’m sorry, what?
Yes we make a bunch of unsubstantiated medical claims and use medical terms but… we’re not using them in a legal sense. K?
That’s not how regulation works.
And anyway, all it takes is a few quick searches to obliterate any pseudo-compliance Quantum Supremacy puts up:
What you’ll note there is those claims pertain to the “Halo”, a product featured on Loyd’s website but not available through Quantum Supremacy (at least not openly).
I believe the hologram wriststraps are a stepping stone to the much more expensive Halo products.
Halo is essentially a magic flashlight.
You load Halo up with a vial, shine it on whatever and… closed cells become open, something something you’re cured of everything.
Here, I’ll let Alex Loyd and Larry Napier explain it was per their respective websites:
Open-Cells CANNOT Get SICK!
CLOSED-Cells On The Other Hand Not Only CAN Get Sick, They are the ONLY-Cells That DO Get Sick.
The Lack of Nutrition and The Inability to eliminate waste causes The-Membrane of a Closed Cell to lose its ability to protect the cell. As a result Germs, Bacteria and Viruses can more easily enter the cell.
This INVASION Causes Sickness and Disease.
Remember, a molecule’s only entrance is through the gateways of OPEN-Cells.
That’s a Real-Problem because A Closed Cell Needs Desperately To… (open).
Apparently Halo emits “quantum-photons” which, according to the marketing, “exists in another realm.”
These quantum photons are supposedly generated when light shines through the supplied vials:
You take your unit, select a specific vial, place it in the unit and then shine the light into the water.
The violet light going through the botanical vial “charges” the water with the harmonics of the various botanicals.
When you use the HALO-charged water you will notice so many health benefits.
The vials are designed to last for 100 years and do not need to be refilled or replaced.
Here are some of the vials Loyd sells on his website:
AL – Ageless Vial
BR – Breathe Relief Vial
D – Detox Vial
DB – Doc In A Box Vial
NO – Nitric Oxide Vial
SL – Sleep Vial
SR – Stress Reduction Vial
ST – Stem Cell Vial
TE – Telomere Extension Vial
WS – Water Structure Vial
And here’s the real kicker; a basic Halo Ultra Blue unit sells for $4997.
The Halo Max Professional Unit sells for… $19,997.
I know that was a deep rabbit hole to follow me down, but hopefully that gives you an idea of where Quantum Supremacy is likely to take you.
Taking a step back (and a deep breath), let’s return to Quantum Supremacy.
Quantum Supremacy affiliates are forced to purchase wristbands:
Given the pricing and ridiculous premise, I’d be surprised if there were any legitimate retail customers.
What you’re likely going to find is a unilevel team full of affiliates. Commissions are thus tied to recruitment, making Quantum Supremacy a pyramid scheme.
And if you think I’m exaggerating on any of this, grab some popcorn and read Larry Napier’s Quantum Supremacy pitch. Even his compensation presentation is hilariously bad.
While Quantum Supremacy operating as a pyramid scheme is definitely something to keep in mind, personally I’d be more concerned about an FDA/FTC investigation.
Looks like one is long overdue.
Update 16th October 2023 – Not sure when Quantum Supremacy collapsed but its website was recently taken offline.
In attempting to research Larry Napier’s MLM history, I came across this comment from Melanie.
Anyone able to confirm this is the same Larry Napier or not? I had a look and came up blank.
Would certainly explain where the MLM came from.
Just a few quick notes for anyone coming here curious about the scientific validity of the claims.
The claims are all bullshit. Outlandish bullshit. They basically list nearly every disease or condition known to Man and say, “yeah, it’ll cure that, too.” Nonsense.
And the so-called “science” (eye-roll):
“Quantum Photons” sounds real science-y unless you’re familiar with quantum physics. ALL photons are quantum photons. There is no such thing as a special class of photons that fall into the “quantum” category. A photon is a photon is a photon; they vary only in wavelength. Do not be fooled.
“Photonic Light” is equally meaningless. ALL light consists of many, many photons traveling as a group. There is no such thing as light that ISN’T made of photons. They might as well call it “Light Light.”
“Nano Nutrition Waves” makes it sound like some magic happens as the light passes through the expensive vial. SCIENCE DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY. Photons are immutable; they cannot be altered. They can be absorbed and re-emitted, but that’s nothing special. Mirrors do it all the time; so does the phosphorus inside fluorescent tubes. Passing light through a vial of mystery liquid won’t turn it into anything other than ordinary light.
While there is science to back up light’s efficacy in aiding in wound healing, that’s ALL it does. It does NOT cure any disease. And violet LEDs may look cool, but they don’t work as well as red and infra-red, which penetrate deeper into the tissues. (Even if they did work, the prices are ridiculous. Violet LEDs cost about 20 cents apiece in moderate volumes and less than 75 cents single piece.)
I’ve received confirmation Quantum Supremacy’s Larry Napier is the same Larry Napier who worked with Dennis Murdock to promote the OneCoin Ponzi scheme.
Amos_N_Andy:
Your price estimate for LEDs (any color) is much too high.
Since these people are based in the US: from a quick glance, on Amazon US you can get them at $5.95 for a hundred (I looked at the first price I could see, the US site doesn’t show prices from sellers who don’t ship to where I live).
Ordering directly from China is much cheaper, they’re one or two cents apiece, even if you only order a hundred.
That’s single-color ones, even RGB ones only cost about 5 cents apiece. (I’d certainly use those if I designed my own magical electric healing box: watch the Photonic Quantum Rainbow Energy Electromagnetic Vibrating Light Wave Frequency Oscillations fluctuate and change as they go about their healing work inside your cells!!!)
Those little vials they put water in are actually much more expensive, from a quick glance on Alibaba they cost at least the same as ten LEDs each.
Come to think of it: the fan on my Raspberry Pi 4 has an RGB LED on it, whose color you can change with a simple Python program. I’ve never yet found a use for that.
Plus, the Pi has a hardware genuine random number generator, excellent for devices that must simulate activity without doing anything.
Maybe I will write a program to repurpose it into a medical device (“device” of course not to be understood in the legal sense).
Hey, PassingBy, thanks again for passing by!
I purposefully priced primo, best-in-the-West LEDs to illustrate my point. Those prices were for Kingbright AA3528VRVFS/A violet LEDs with 250mcd output each at 20mA, 3.3Vf, 120° beam angle (about 0.8 lumens each).
Digi-Key prices: 64 cents each single-piece, 19 cents each for a reel of 1000. Even for those top-of-the line LEDs, the cost for 36 of them is way less than $10.
I don’t know if the cheapie violet LEDs are true violet or red/blue combos (which appear violet to the human eye, but do not generate violet light any more than your TV does). I suspect the latter, since true 400nm single-color LEDs are scarce as hen’s teeth on Digi-Key’s site (they carry frickin’ EVERYthing).
It’s interesting: ultra-violet single-color LEDs are far more available there than violet ones.
I could be wrong; I’m not an opto guy, so I don’t exactly have my finger on the pulse of the industry in this regard. I’m more of a power systems and mixed-signals guy (lately, anyway; whatever pays the bills).
I actually have built a few I-R LED arrays, based on what I could glean from NASA’s work. And they really do aid with healing.
NASA developed theirs to help chemo patients with mouth sores. Chemo attacks cells like cancer that replicate quickly; unfortunately, other fast-replicating cells get hit also, like hair follicles and the skin lining the mouth.
Just shining the I-R light through the cheeks (mouth closed) for a few minutes a day helped the sores to heal. But wound healing is pretty much all they are good for, as far as I know. (For the record, I never offered any of the units I built for sale, and I’m not doing so now. I gave them away to people who needed them.)
PassingBy, when you make your own magical woo machine out of a fan, be sure to make the fan variable speed; you can shine the light *through* the blades for Vari-Pulse Photonic Quantum Rainbow Energy Electromagnetic Vibrating Light Wave Frequency Oscillation magic! Sign me up for three.
I doubt that what he’s using are called “violet” LEDs by anyone except himself. All the Chinese suppliers on Alibaba that sell ones in the same color I can see on the Halo site, label them as “purple” (“the same” of course as in “resulting in the same RGB values on a screen which cannot produce single-frequency violet”).
I think he calls them violet only to create associations with ultraviolet, which people know is sciencey and related to health and the sun and stuff.
If they’re only used for decorative purposes, such as in these pointless devices, and making them from red and blue ones is cheaper, there’s of course no reason to make “true”, single-frequency violet ones. Perhaps there simply aren’t any real applications where you’d need such a thing, unlike for UV ones.
I can’t make the fan (shop.pimoroni.com/products/fan-shim) variable-speed I’m afraid, it’s a simple on/off affair, controlled by just one pin.
The multicolor LED part (and there’s a microscopic pushbutton, too) is a superfluous extravagance, which doesn’t do anything without special software. Nor can one shine light through it, it almost touches the main heat source, the SOC.
But this does bring up something that’s often irritated me: why are almost all these woo merchants so crap at what they do?
If I put some effort into it, I could come up with a much more impressive magical medical pseudo-device than any I’ve ever seen sold for real.
I’d definitely base it around a Raspberry Pi, and first add some real medical peripherals to it.
There are several legitimate projects in this field (for some pics with innards showing:
cooking-hacks.com/documentation/tutorials/ehealth-v1-biometric-sensor-platform-arduino-raspberry-pi-medical.html
hackster.io/news/the-healthy-pi-a-medical-hat-for-the-raspberry-pi-5c94a86df5c6), and one can just mix and match bits of those.
That would show some actual, verifiable functionality, which would of course have no impact whatsoever on what the device is supposed to be for.
Then, it’s a matter of adding the magical healing components, and there are countless ways of doing that which are much more impressive than waving a purple flashlight around, or switching on some lights in a box to make it look like an ancient portable electric heater.
I’d also make sure my machine needs to connect to the internet at least once a month, for remote recalibration. For this I would charge a monthly fee, without which it would all stop working.
Upgrade to 2-pin+GND ones then. 😀
Because they can’t even make it as pseudoscientists. They don’t have any real skills as assemblers of electronics. What they came up with was through their Dunning-Kruger self-congratulatory I-must-be-genuis crap they themselves only would believe.
They don’t know any science to doubt themselves… because they don’t wanna. All they have is ego, and truth is dangerous to their ego.

I don’t think there is any official distinction made between “purple” and “violet,” they are both about 400nm. And I agree there isn’t much need for single-color purple (violet) LEDs. Medical instruments all use UV as their stimulation source. (Reagents glow in response and they measure the glow, sometimes counting individual photons with high-speed logic and a photomultiplier tube. I got to design one of those once.) But for human perception, you can make any shade of violet (purple) you want by mixing red and blue, so why not?
Oh, and if you can’t vary the fan speed, the deal’s off. ;P
Oz, this reminds me of some of the Phil Piccolo things from all those years ago – over 20 years.
Amuse yourself, and check out at the top Laundry CD or disk, which from memory was a revolutionary cleaning process.

Sounded too good to be true, but I purchased the bracelet as referred by a good friend. He said it was designed to counter the ill effects of 5G tecchnology.
After about two weeks of wearing the bracelet, I noticed that my heart was no longer skipping beats.
My cardiologist assistant told me that my heart rythem was the worst she had ever seen, skipping around one out of every five beats. Over the last six days my heart has not skipped an single beat.
The only change I made was wearing the bracelet. They are expensive but I would have paid ten times more for a heart that beats normally.
Feel free to provide peer-reviewed studies showing wearing a plastic band has any affect on the heart.
Anecdotal stories = meaningless.
Luckily, I don’t have to bother. I always have a few banknotes with holograms on them in my wallet, which provide me with ample protection against the spells the evil 5G wizards are trying to put on us all.
The goddess Europa, whose sacred likeness is enshrined in these hologrammic icons, is much more powerful than they.
It’s cutting out the middle man so to speak: instead of having to give money to Quantum Supremacy for a hologram bracelet, the money itself does the trick.
My friend Virginia Sue Williams cheerfully called me up and offered to share the technology of these plasma wristbands with me.
She brought them over and left them here for several weeks. I noticed immediately within an hour of putting on only one of the wristbands that each and every time that’ I sat down, I fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t exactly know why, but I have been experiencing a nagging insomnia that had left me feeling perpetually fatigued. These wristbands seemed to put an end to the sleeplessness which is a blessing beyond measure.
I am well-versed in critical thinking having been partnerered with a NASA engineer for over 40 years. I know better than to try to convince him of new age ideas or technologies. I don’t need to do that.
I am really thrilled when I do find some of these alternative products that really do help me. And these wristbands have been allowing me to sleep through the night ever since I put them on, whereas before I was well-aquatinted with watching the clock and waiting for sunrise only to awaken fatigued and needing more shuteye. That seems to have come to an end for me.
Say what you like about the wristbands and the plasma membranes with yheir secret proprietary technology. I am very grateful to have a friend that was willing to let me try these “majical” wristbands.
I am sleeping like a very happy baby through the nights and feeling much better reated than I had for many years. Worth every penny.
Greta Ferebee – (Ozedit: recruitment spam removed) Thanks.
Magic plastic wrist strap puts you to sleep? Yeah not buying it.
Yeah obviously.
Feel free to provide peer-reviewed studies proving Quantum Supremacy’s products cure insomnia. Anecdotal stories = meaningless.
It sounds like Greta Girl is hawking a different kind of woo: plasma membrane bracelets (as opposed to hologram).
I found a site making outrageous claims for their plasma bracelets; I thought I’d share the laugh:
That’s some more weapons-grade bullshit, right there. “GaNS”? Gallium Nitride Sulfide? How is that supposed to be useful, if it indeed exists? “Liquid plasma of CO2.” Another meaningless phrase. You can have CO2 plasma, but that’s an ionized gas. There is liquid plasma in blood, but that’s a completely different meaning of the word.
And don’t get me started about “connector and gravitator.” Really?
Honestly, have none of these “critical thinkers” heard of the placebo effect?
OZ, you obviously have good research skills but you are very rude with some of your dismissing comments to others.
On the point about crypto coin, it all depends on what he was doing. I was in USI tech and I know many who did promote it and of course everyone including me were scammed and the handful at the very top made millions.
The band in one form or another has been around for 12 years. I am not sure on the Halo but since 2017 at least. If products selling for $5k and $20k have been around for numerous years and they didn’t work you should be able to find lots of negative postings somewhere. I haven’t seen any.
They have done some analytical testing with videos on the site and I have seen a few personal results.
Live blood analysis with a darkfield microscope shows Improved blood flow instantly.
Electro Dermal Screening shows protection against Wi-Fi, 4G/5G/EMF radiation with reduced stress levels. Heart Rate Variability improved significantly (a greater heart rate variability, which is healthier, less stress).
BIA testing shows high percentage results for:
1. Reduction in biological age.
2. Increase in active muscle mass and decrease in fat percentage.
3. Increase in hydration without drinking.
Doppler ultrasound testing showed a great increase in the amount of blood flow, up to 30%.
(Ozedit: recruitment spam and unsubstantiated medical claims removed)
@Steve
People generally don’t like being told they’re full of shit. Better to rip the bandaid off.
Like USI-Tech, OneCoin was a Ponzi scheme. So he invested and either did or was hoping to steal other people’s money.
So where are the peer-reviewed medical studies then?
This is not a substitute for peer-reviewed medical studies.
After 12 years there’s no verifiable proof these bands do anything, other than lighten your wallet. Let that sink in.
@Steve: I’m sure you mean well, but your statements are entirely without merit.
Absence of negative is not proof of positive. Plenty of expensive woo (worthless gadgetry dressed up as having some amazing effects) has been sold for decades, with zero science to back up any of their claims.
Have you heard of the price-placebo effect? I suggest you read up on it, because it is a very powerful psychological phenomenon.
Anyone who spends a lot of money on something is more likely to believe it is effective simply because of its cost.
Oh, come on. Blood flow cannot be monitored in a darkfield microscope without something external pumping the blood (darkfield microscopy requires the sample to be removed from the body and put in a dish or on a slide).
That means evidence like this is very, very easy to fake: just turn up the pump. Or speed up the film.
More woo. Electro dermal screening is nothing more than measuring skin resistance, which is mostly a matter of how much sweat is being produced. There is zero evidence that it relates to anything health-related.
Other than in the E-meters of Scientology, EDS is primarily used in polygraphs to measure–guess what?–sweat production.
Yeah, because people sweat when they get nervous, and most people get nervous when they tell a lie. It means nothing as regards health.
There is also zero evidence of Wi-fi 4G/5G etc radiofrequency energy causing any harmful effects in fauna. Yes, at high enough energies, they can heat stuff up; that’s how microwave ovens work. But boiling water will do the same thing, so we don’t immerse ourselves in boiling water and we stay safe.
Stay out of microwave ovens, and you won’t be exposed to high enough RF energy to cook your insides, and you’re safe.
Microwave energy is just thermal energy; it’s just heat. Worrying about 5G hurting you is like worrying that a heating pad will fry you like a stovetop will (and 5G power is tiny compared to a 15W heating pad).
Stop obsessing over non-ionizing radiation, people, it won’t hurt you!
BIA testing: still more woo. Biological impedance testing has some uses, like calculating fat percentages, but it cannot measure biological age; that’s just nonsense.
As to the rest, where are the double-blind, peer-reviewed studies to back up the claims? Without that, they’re just that: claims. Marketing.
As a concerned child of elderly parents (87 years old) I can absolutely confirm that this is a scam, just part of an ongoing scam where Napier, Floyd and crew have preyed upon the elderly primarily under the guise of Christianity.
The Halo light, Onecoin, Quantum3 and another strain of Iraqi Dinar instant wealth scams are all related to these 2 and their herd of misinformed, vulnerable sheep that believe God sent Napier to them.
It is pathetic, infuriating and unbelievable that no one has prosecuted these scumbags.
Review updated to note Quantum Supremacy’s collapse.
