I worked with Masaru Emoto, author and pseudo-scientist who claimed that human consciousness could affect the molecular structure of water. I supervised the publication of the work with Doctor Citro Massimo 'La scienza dell'invisibile'.

How is GokuGoku different from other websites?

The word 'Goku' is connected to many ideas in the Japanese literature. Of course Goku is the name of the main character in the manga and anime series Dragon Ball! But that's not all! GokuGoku (ゴクゴク with Katakana) is one of the many Japanese onomatopoeia. ゴクゴク describes the action of drinking in large sips! The same pronunciation can be found in the word 語句, which means sentence, expression, word.

Why the name GokuGoku?
