No, a jellyfish extract won't improve my memory. No, EverlyWell cannot diagnose food allergies. Animals with guts have been around for a billion years, and our immediate ancestors a few million, so "no thank you" to swallowing some chemical to make me dump my "5 to 20 pounds" of excess poop (although whoever wrote that commercial might give it a desperation try). It goes on and on.
