"non-invasive glucose testing is a 'holy grail' of diabetes research efforts and would be hailed as a major breakthrough--something covered by major media outlets and aggresively pursued by all of big pharma and biotech."

How is this any different than Occulus VR?



Oculus had the backing of some of the foremost leaders in 3D graphical technology, verifying their goals, solutions, product and direction. This does not.


Well that's because Occulus presumably isn't a scam. But I don't see how seeking crowd funding in and of itself makes something inherently untrustworthy.

It doesn't. Those are your words.

Those reasons are not because occulus isn't a scam, they prove why its not a scam. If the "Healbe GoBe" had provided such validations from industry professionals, we wouldn't suspect that its a scam.


Forgive me if I've misunderstood, but that analogy seems as disparate as the leap in discovering non-invasive glucose testing itself...
