Infomercial for foot pads to leach toxic compounds from body

Ok - I saw this commerical over christmas and I was like - Hmm wtf.. Then saw the last thing that they claimed the pad took out.. Cellulite..
Ah - this pad is taking out Cellulite?
From Wiki: "Cellulite describes a condition that occurs in men and women where the skin of the lower limbs, abdomen, and pelvic region becomes dimpled after puberty.[1] The term was first used in the 1920s and began appearing in English language publications in the late 1960s, the earliest reference in Vogue magazine, "Like a swift migrating fish the word cellulite has suddenly crossed the Atlantic."[2]
Descriptive names for cellulite include orange peel syndrome, cottage cheese skin, the mattress phenomenon, and hail damage. Synonyms include: adiposis edematosa, dermopanniculosis deformans, status protrusus cutis, and gynoid lipodystrophy. Cellulite is unrelated to cellulitis, which is infection of the skin and its underlying connective tissue."
Might as well throw in some magnetic pressure point shoe pads and a blue colored light for my fridge too.

I'll believe it when I see it. As for the comment on being on the heavy side - I can how this could have a weight reduction. Which of course would help their output a tiny little bit.
For the people saying things against it - I think we will still be using oil for a while, even for high mileage cars like the Aptera (hybrid version) (How I wish I could buy one).
New technologies in batteries are being discovered and tested - i.e. Standford nano tech battery. They don't know what the downsides are to that battery, if there are that many.
High efficient multi-junction solar cells are still pricey. (Would be nice to have an Aptera hybrid that has a shell covered in multi-junction solar cells).
And I think people will start looking at the motors and generators too. Experimenting in windings and materials used might end up yielding higher output for one configuration for a motor and another configuration might yield higher output for generation.
I think in the next 2 years we will see some amazing things starting to emerge, in 5 I think it will be cost effective and in 10 it will be "antique"

Now if you have multiple cameras - stereo view or a 3x3 grid - I wonder if could figure out most of the geometry for you and also the skin mapping.
