Electro Physiological Feedback Xrroid (EPFX), also known as Quantum Xrroid Consciousness Interface (QXCI), is a radionics[1] device which claims to read the body's reactivity to various frequencies and then send back other frequencies to make changes in the body.[2] It is manufactured and marketed by self-styled "Professor Bill Nelson," also known as Desiré Dubounet. She is currently operating in Hungary, a fugitive from the US following indictment on fraud charges connected to EPFX.[3]

Descriptions of the device in mainstream media note its US$20,000 price tag and the improbable nature of the claims made for it.[4] It has reportedly been used to "treat" a variety of serious diseases including cancer. In one documented case, undiagnosed and untreated leukaemia resulted in the death of a patient.

The website Quackwatch posted an analysis of the device by Stephen Barrett which concludes: "The Quantum Xrroid device is claimed to balance 'bio-energetic' forces that the scientific community does not recognize as real. It mainly reflects skin resistance (how easily low-voltage electric currents from the device pass through the skin), which is not related to the body's health."[5]

In 2009, imports to the US were banned.[6]
