BACKGROUND: Marketers love to quote things that appear scientific, especially for so-called "health" products. DISCUSSION: The author of this article does an excellent job sorting through claims of bringing hope to sufferers of just about every medical ailment one can think of, to anecdotes of humans living to an age of 135. To top it off, you won't believe the date of some of the "science" cited at the product's website. HARRY'S COMMENT: Yeah, it's a bubble bath. The claims and dubious "scientific support" are highlighted clearly by the author - if there was illusion with this product, consider it exposed.
