Ya know, I really hate to take delight in someone's business being shut down but I'll make an exception for ParaDevices, the maker of ParaZapper™. (ParaZapper™ is a trademark of Para Systems and Devices, LLC even though they can't sell them anymore.)
Please see the original ParaZapper™ post for my original commentary on this bullshit device.
Apparently, sometime over the past year, the FDA has decided that these electronic "zappers" don't do what they claim to do. (Well knock me down and call me Sally!) Further, the FDA have shut down all retail operations selling them. (And here, I do a little Happy Dance!)
According to a note on the Para Systems and Devices, LLC web site, "Until Further notice, Due to problems with the FDA, ParaZapper will not be selling zappers."
I have contacted David Etheredge, owner and operator of the Para Systems and Devices, LLC web site for comments but, so far, I haven't received a response. Not that I really expect one. He's kinda a jerk.
So, in closing, I have one very childish thing to say to Mr. Etheredge, "Neener! Neener! Neener!"
(And, everybody, please, don't really knock me down and call me Sally.)

Samayz
Back to Africa and the Middle East....
About a month ago, the HIV/AIDS:1 chat room on Yahoo! was inundated with a slough of idiots promoting this crap, Samayz, as a cure for HIV and AIDS. It's since died down significantly (and we're all happier now) but it's still stuck in my brain. So here we go.
This Samayz shit is derived from snake venom. Which snake? Who knows!? They don't say.
Of course, I asked the guys (or gals) trying to get people to buy this shit (at $599 for 1.5 cc, no less) if they had proof that it worked, if their results had been published in a medical journal, if they were doctors, blah, blah, blah... (If you've been reading this blog at all, you know the usual questions.) (Yes, I'm kinda lazy today. Tired as hell.) Of course, they answered all of these questions incorrectly if they actually had an actual cure.
And, yes, you read that correctly. Six hundred bucks for a measly 1.5 cc. Or, about $1,511,640.39 per US gallon. And you thought gasoline was expensive.....
And not only will this shit cure HIV and AIDS, it'll help with cancer pain, bursitis, various types of herpes (they say it'll actually cure herpes, too!), hepetitis B and C, and a cart load of other ailments.
Oh, and they also try to cover their ass by saying in their FAQ, "Saymyaz has not been approved for sale in the U.S. at this time. " But, I'm sure they'd mail it to anybody in the U.S. if they got some money for it. Fuckin' assholes.
Obviously with the list of other ailments that these asses say this shit will cure they're just trying to maximize their market-base. This is just another example of people trying to take advantage of people desperate for a cure where none exist.
