I can’t imagine how this company won’t get sued out of existence. They are making some pretty broad and probably inaccurate statements, and also offering medical advice.
Detecting inflammation probably isn’t that hard, but I’d bet they are detecting a particular marker of inflammation and reporting that as inflammation. Which could be meaningful in combination with other factors, or it could mean the person being tested has a cold, or ate a 12 inch Subway Sandwich.
Also advising someone to drink a green smoothie may lower the particular marker they are measuring, but probably won’t alleviate actual inflammation or it’s related symptoms at all.
My wife has had a chronic inflammatory disease for years and has tried it all, including smoothies, and has find even really powerful anti-inflammatory drugs don’t cure the inflammation or remove all symptoms.
I do like the idea of the device and applications though, but I’m really worried about the way they present information.
