Feel free to skip to the bottom. That is where my opinion will be found. Not being a TV watcher, I have missed the commercials. (It = websites)
If one is experiencing cellyular hypoxia, then there will be metabolic changes that will show up in the blood.
It claims to cure diseases where there has been actual loss of organ tissue, dementia and emphysema being two. If improved availability of oxygen at the cellular level would grow new tissue, do you not think that everyone with missing tissue would be in a hyperbaric chamber?
It never identifies what the agent to increase oxyhemoglobin dissociation is. (Google o. d. if you want TMI)
It claims to cure almost everything. I am healthy. There is nothing abnormal about my tissue oxygen levels. If I was in a room where some are sick and coughing and sneezing, it would be very likely that I would contract the same viral illness. And the reason is, is that the virus got into my system and infected me. When my system built up an immunity to this virus, I got well. It had nothing to do with oxygen.
Are these extravagant promises? I think so.
The overall tone of the ad is to make one think that he is being victimized by powerful, money grubbing, corporations that don't give a %$#@!*&*)&%$%&.
My brief sojourn thru the websites leads me to strongly believe that if we were back in the Old West, it would have been snake oil that was being promoted:
The snake oil peddler became a stock character in Western movies: a travelling "doctor" with dubious credentials, selling some medicine (such as snake oil) with boisterous marketing hype, often supported by pseudo-scientific evidence, typically bogus. To enhance sales, an accomplice in the crowd (a "shill") would often "attest" the value of the product in an effort to provoke buying enthusiasm. The "doctor" would prudently leave town before his customers realized that they had been cheated. This practice is also called "grifting" and its practitioners "grifters".
The practice of selling dubious remedies for real (or imagined) ailments still occurs today, albeit with some updated marketing techniques. Claims of cures for chronic diseases (for example, diabetes mellitus), for which there are reputedly only symptomatic treatments available from mainstream medicine, are especially common. The term snake oil peddling is used as a derogatory term to describe such practices.
BOTTOM LINE: SCAM
