I appreciate that conventional medical care often has severe weaknesses. However, I recently got cornered by a talkative promoter of "X39" patches that claim to "elevate GHK Copper Peptide" whatever that is. This cult promotes "lightwave" patches and devices that claim to activate stem cells with light or crystals.

I realize that having some training in science and skepticism, I may have a little advantage in dumping stuff like this in my bullshit file. Besides having no feasible means to cause the results it claims, the whole thing is a multi-million dollar MLM (multi-level marketing).

Even before the motormouth, a neighbor had roped me into a 'treatment' session using patches with LEDs embedded in them. Nice lady, but... (How do you tell well-meaning people that they're brainwashed and self-deluded?)

Yes, placebos can have a positive effect in a majority of cases for some 'treatments.'

I have deep disappointment that the Patent Office would approve these devices. The Ponzi Scheme has the lower rungs selling these patches and machines for hundreds of dollars. Besides fleecing the ignorant, they often get dissuaded from seeking actually effective treatments.

Anyway, here's their website so you can see what it is, and then a link to a review from an actual stem cell scientist. If humanity were to survive, it'd need to up its game.
