I would be interested. As someone who has a side interest in medical 
quackery, ( I worked with the FDA on legitimate medical devices and 
found an interest in the regulations that outlawed the quackery 
devices).   I recently saw a quack device based on "color therapy".  
Fascinating what these modern witch doctors could come up with for a 
gullible public and what they could get away with for a long time.
