Elle Macpherson praises her completely ineffective BioCharger lamp – after Pete Evans was fined $25,000 for saying it could cure coronavirus
Elle Macpherson has spruiked the same BioCharger lamp endorsed by disgraced celebrity chef Pete Evans, who was fined $25,200 for promoting the device in April.
Posting to Instagram Stories on Monday, the 56-year-old supermodel shared a photo of the $15,000 device sitting on a counter while emitting a red light.
Next to the device, which offers no medical benefits and is nothing more than an expensive lamp, was a sign that read: ‘Recharge yourself’.

The celebrity chef had live streamed a video on Facebook on April 9 claiming the BioCharger device could be used in relation to ‘Wuhan coronavirus’.
At the time, Pete vowed to ‘strongly defend’ himself against the TGA, adding: ‘It is now in the hands of my lawyers.’
He also claimed that his family used the ‘non-invasive’ lamp ‘pretty much every day’.

‘It works to optimize your health, wellness, and athletic performance by aligning and balancing the energy of every cell in your body,’ he added.
The BioCharger has also been endorsed by surfer John Florence and motivational speaker Tony Robbins.
Pete has meanwhile been slammed by the Australian Medical Association for spruiking the machine.
‘This guy just doesn’t get it. Pete Evans is trying to sell a $15,000 fancy light machine to vulnerable and frightened people to protect them against COVID-19,’ a spokesman for the organisation said.
‘He is not a doctor. He is not a scientist. He is a chef.’
Really? The machine (pictured) claims to use ‘Light, Frequencies & Harmonics, Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMFs), and Voltage. These are all natural energies found in nature’
