A good rule of thumb is that if it has ever been an infomercial product, it's very most likely fake. Kevin Trudeau used to advertised speed reading courses that gave you mega memory. He advertised a lot of other snake oil the same way, along with it. There was a whole kit that took years to pay off, but they were all self-delusions and self-fulfilling prophesies since what they promise would happen even without the techniques described if you are primed to expect yourself to achieve the end points. And they're always half-assed just enough to convince you that it's working, but you just need a little more time to really get it. You never do, though. I don't base my opinion on him, but he's by far the best example. I just expect that you'll speed up your reading a little bit, and eventually have to go back to normal after realizing how much you don't actually retain.
