It’s almost certainly a scam. The product will hang around for a while and then quietly disappear – and of course it will help some people given the placebo effect. If it’s widely believed to be effective – it can cure anything – it can grow hair on a billiard ball. But I have a strong hunch we should be calling it Zi-Scam.
