Call me doubting Thomas but I'm thinking the configuration using pennies as the contact point is a pretty iffy deal. How do you keep the pennies in intimate contact with the skin? I see some wear the device around their neck. It seems to me with that thing dangling there contact would be intermittent at best.
Secondly by using probes or plates on each hand as an example the circuit is much longer causing the frequencies to cover more area. How does the current reach the gut, as an example by wearing the device around the neck? Thinking in terms of how electricity travels, mostly between the two nearest points use of the device with the two contact points so close is questionable in my mind. Someone set me straight please.
