     The Daily Mail is a paper in which the claim of fact does not have
     either a negative or a positive correlation with truth.  I may be
     beneficial or not, but not by the mechanism outlined in the article.

     This looks like a 19th century invention.  I am fairly sure that I
     have read almost these words in a Scientific American 50 and 100 years
     ago section.  The jargon used here is meaningless.

     >> The article goes on "Groups of cells emit different frequencies,
     >> some healthy, some unhealthy. By changing these cell frequencies,

     What would health vs unhealthy electromagnetic frequencies actually
     mean?
     This, by virtue of the jargon and the source is undoubted snake oil.
     It is merely an example of second rate journalism.
