Snake Oil. It’s pervasive in health and it’s important to maintain your vigilance and common sense. So, if someone promises you a product that is NON-TOXIC with NO DRUG INTERACTIONS, a technology that touches just about every aspect of health imaginable, directs you to a website entitled yesitsamazing, you have to step back and wonder what the heck.
What’s so amazing you ask?!
Redox signaling molecules — the very same molecules that exist within cells — that scientists have now suspended in a saline solution so that they work OUTSIDE THE BODY to heal just about everything from asthma and bladder leakage, to restless leg syndrome, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s. My goodness, it’s a miracle, truly amazing!!!!! Or as the folks over at Science Based Medicine describe it, “water and salt.”
The folks pitching this miracle supplement, better known as ASAE, claim that they have data supporting the efficacy of chemically recombined molecules. In fact, ASAE theoretically replenishes signaling molecules that are lost during the aging process.
- Promotes enhanced immune function
- Boosts efficiency of the body’s own antioxidant by 500%
- Offers proven superior support to athletes (in a study of 17 people, by the way, with no control group for comparison)
Honestly, you probably need ASAE as much as you need a glass of salt water. Amazing? Hardly.
