A lot of people have begun capitalizing off the name, reputation and legend of kaya-kalpa. It's highly unlikely that any of these are legitimate. There are vaidyas in India who've been looking for the secret of kaya-kalpa for many years, so I doubt what's being sold in the US or Europe is the real deal. Mahesh even claimed he was going to restore the kaya-kalpa regimes, but never was able to.
