    Maybe your nan could. No joke.

    Afterall, dogs can smell cancerous cells and also can tell when a diabetic is gonna have an attack - no joke.

    Go and read the evidence, there's less 'scientific backing' than you'd think.

    Possibly...but dogs for sure, there's a lot of research getting done on it as we speak.

    There isnt anything new about the versa climber or mask. We tested similar to these in uni years ago, and the general consesus is that they were pretty useless, an expensive flop. For every bit of evidence that says they work I will show you another that says it doesnt. Firms are always looking for new gadget to make money from, and there are plenty of lads who would pay good money to try and get an edge. Most of the positive research is released by the firms that make the gadgets, not independent ones!! Best to go and study up first of all, save some cash. Arnie is a good trainer though, not putting him down at all.

    sounds all well and good but the science behind this product does not yet back up its claims of doing exactly what it says on the tin
