All of the above mentioned health claims are unsubstantiated; the effectiveness of the device has not been proven scientifically. The advertisement further implies the device was able to ''destroy cancer and virus cells'' which, contrary to Ngystle claims, also never has been proven scientifically. However, clients relying on these promises may be endangered by delaying medical treatment in favour of applying the devices. These claims are particularly dangerous, since their publication in a community newsletter will contribute to lending them an inappropriate air of reliability. Ngystle were still advertising application of these devices in the newsletter in 2013.<ref>http://www.skidegate.ca/Newsletters/october2013.pdf accessed 20/03/2014</ref>
