1. His ZHT: http://www.zhtcare.com/whatiszht.html



WHAT IS ZHT?

In ONE sentence on the Website:

"It is a new clinical concept of etiology,
pathophysiology and clinical therapy, which identifies
Trachea Caudal displacement (TCD) included chronic
intermittent hypoxia through Silent upper Airway
Resistance Syndrome (SUARS) and Frequent & Recurrent
Upper Airway Collapse Syndrome (FRUACS) as a new
fundamental physio-pathological mechanism, as one of
the main causes, for mild to moderate but prolonged
hypoxia for most illness & diseases."

With a clinical background in sleep studies, I
recognize most of the big words, but I read this
several times and still can't tell what "ZHT" is.

I have not met Dr. Zhou, but our paths have crossed.
My impression is that Dr. Zhou is a salesman. Like any
good door-to-door salesman, he intimately knows about
and believes in the products he sells.

Probably many shortcomings we see in how he presents
information on the website results from a combination
of a 100-mile-per-hour personality, Chinese as a
native language, and an American medical language that
has been influenced by what we might call on this list
as Chirospeak. Looks like Dr. Zhou has created a
Website to effectively appeal to the intended
population of his product. I also believe he could
write volumes on ZHT and cite hundreds of legitimate
references to tidbits of information that stand to
support his theories.

His "erisaclaim.com" website follows the same
character. It presents almost like a supermarket
tabloid, intentionally so (I think) in order to appeal
to the projected audience. Again, the product is
well-referenced with tons of legitimate details.

"Fringe" is the word I'd use to describe these sites.
Most of us have practical or learned wisdom about the
risks of buying something from a door-to-door
salesman.
