What a lazy job! The least they could’ve done was to throw in a low frequency oscillator, to give it some credibility. Fighting high-frequencies with low. :)

OTOH, the reasoning for poor construction of these devices is probably similar to the reasoning for poor English in 419 scam emails.

How is it not illegal to sell these?

It does not directly claim any health benefits. If this is illegal then it would be illegal to sell "healing" crystals and goop would not exist.

Really it's not much different than selling a wooden cross that will "protect you against satan".

On the subject of placebo technology. How well do HN think placebo software would work?

An example would be a productivity app that only has a flip switch for High or Low productivity. Whenever you need to be extra productive, just open the app and set it to High.
