I am a proud full-on skeptic. One of the best skeptic websites in the ethers is http://www.randi.org/ James Randi has a million dollar challenge and one the foremost rules is that it is up to a claimant to PROVE his idea/invention/claim by establishing a set of tests or proofs himself. No-one else tests the claimant but themselves.....and no one else really has the right to. If the claimant cant produce the goods (funny thing they never can.....the million dollar prize money remains intact) they just disappear into the ethers.
This really is a fabulous website even if youre not a skeptic because it will teach you to approach peoples ideas from an open minded point of view intead of criticism. If you understand what a true skeptic believes then you will realise that I dont believe a bloody word youre saying....hahahahah. On the serious side though the website does expose a lot of charlatins, cheats , liars and thieves....its worth the look .....but dont blaim me if you become skeptical.

It's required by law now, any of these companys like Fitch, Hyclone and the like, now have too prove they do what they claim.

The to prove their claims with test they divise them selves.......sounds like what these donkeys have been doing since year dot.

If you can translate data any way you want then you can make it say almost anything.

No, i think now the new laws require an independent company to do the tests on the products, these new laws have only just been passed or are beeing passed as we speak.

Should sort out the snake oil donkeys pretty quickly.
