I thought maybe they were selling ashes and CO2 for a minute. Looks like there is a little more to it than that, but still very short on evidence. It also brought to mind the "hyperbaric oxygen spray" someone was selling last year. They had a big booth at the AAHA conference in Phoenix. They seem to have disappeared-I wonder if they got into trouble for false claims. I remember reading the advertisement and laughing, then looking for the scientific studies they said they had, but never produced.
