I have never heard of this. When I reviewed their published papers on the web site, NONE of them are tier 1 journals, meaning the science is sufficiently weak that no top notch journal accepted it and it went to another that would publish it. This does not mean the stuff doesn't work just that the published science behind it was likely weak.
Seems like a good idea but if it is so good why hasn't it made it to prime time with EMS and emergency dept's docs and trauma surgeons??
