Alexander Yuan-Chun Chiu (born February 8, 1971) is a San Francisco, California businessman who invented a number of magnetic health devices that allegedly achieve remarkable results, including the reversal of the aging process and other health benefits. No rigorous scientific study has so far been performed to confirm or dismiss these claims, many users have reported health benefits of various kinds or a more youthful appearence.

He is considered by many[1] to be a snake oil salesman[2] and quack[3]. Chiu or his representatives have been known to spam Usenet and email advertising such products since the mid 1990s.

His website, available in a number of languages (English, Chinese, German, Spanish and Portoguese), has links to pages explaining his plans for, among other things, a world wide corporation, a device for teleportation, and a method for exactly divining the future. One of his web pages [4] claims that he is not Taiwanese but Chinese, that his device for eternal life is not designed for Taiwanese who deny being Chinese, and that his favorite movie star is Alicia Silverstone (although he has more recently professed an infatuation with young actress Hilary Duff).

According to his website, he follows the Jewish religion and bases much of his philosophy on the Old Testament (referred to as the Tanakh by Jews). He claims that immortality is possible as described in the Tanakh [5], and offers predictions as to who he believes will be the Messiah. [6]. He is also a supporter of the state of Israel, believing its establishment to be a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.

He has recently been interviewed by the Discovery Channel.

Alex Chiu has also achieved internet fame through random pop-culture filled flash movies called Fanimutations.
