So, isn't it very "false advertising" to state it that way without any
mention of the "battery life".


Maybe not. What do you think about Cancer Treatment Centers of
America, which advertise all the time and count good nutrition as a
treatment for cancer. They say "I got my life back" but don't then
mean just that they feel more confident but die the same month they
whould have?



They never say they were cured, just that they got good care.


Used to be but after a year or two they put someone on who said she
was cured. It was probably a fluke or a coincidence. I don't
understand why I don't find them along with scam in a google search.
Maytbe the spouses are all too old and depressed after wasting
thousands on snake oil.
