How to check the company yourself instead of taking anyone’s word
Prepared by the WWC desk · checked 24 August 2026
A friend who has sold nothing to anyone for twenty years suddenly talks about insoles for eleven thousand. Or a husband brings home a device for two hundred thousand and looks guilty. Or you yourself have almost decided — and at the last second open a search engine.
There you find two walls. On one side — partner rapture and the word “miracle” every other line. On the other — “scam”, “sect”, “they are taking your money”. And neither side shows a single document.
We went into government registries. We show what is actually there — including what we ourselves did not like.
A short honest answer
No, this is not a pyramid.
Behind the company stands a Chinese manufacturer with a state licence that cannot be bought or drawn, factories, patents and 55 documents, each of which opens by a link. There is indeed a lot of noise, and some loud numbers from presentations fell apart at the first check — we will write about that too. But between “a distributor exaggerated” and “they are deceiving you” there is a gulf.
Do not take our word
Ask the state, not us
Government registries and the documents themselves. Five minutes — and you know more about the company than from any presentation.
The conversation “scam or not” comes down to a simple thing: there is a document or there is not. In the official WHIEDA catalog 55 files are attached to products — certificates, declarations of conformity and patents, across 37 positions. On 22 August 2026 we checked that all 55 open. All of them opened.
A certificate is an address you can go to. A registry number, a factory name, a responsible person. A marketplace box has none of this: there is literally no one to bring a claim to. Treatment is not written in the certificate — and by law it cannot be.
Economics of the model
Why MLM cannot live on disposable goods
Your refrigerator breaks after seven years not because engineers do not know how to do better.
An ordinary retail manufacturer earns on the first sale. A network model is the opposite. There is no advertising budget that brings an endless stream of new people. There is a partner who sold you a device and stayed with you in the same chat, often in the same city. Their income depends on whether you buy something else and whether you recommend it. If the device falls apart, they lose not one sale but the whole chain.
The goods are made with a margin of strength. Not out of nobility, but because otherwise the model does not work. A complaint here spreads faster than advertising and costs more.
What we do not promise
There are no clinical trials of finished devices on people in peer-reviewed journals. The physical phenomena themselves have been studied for decades — we give the links — but studying a phenomenon and testing a device are not the same thing.
The numbers “1000 patents” and “100 scientific institutes” that circulate in distributor posts are not confirmed by documents. We do not use them.
Anion measurements at presentations are a field demonstration with a portable tester, not a laboratory protocol with controlled conditions.
The most inconvenient questions
Do not walk around them. Take them apart.
01. “Is this a pyramid?”
Ask. Anyone who takes offence at this question is not someone to trust.
WHIEDA uses an MLM model: partners distribute products, not ordinary shop shelves. MLM itself is not the same as a financial pyramid. The check is simple: mentally remove the whole partner model. Would a product remain that a person would buy simply because they need it? Here it would. In essence this is an ordinary product company with a different distribution form: instead of a shop shelf and TV ads — a person who uses the product and answers for the recommendation with their own name.
A red flag is when they sell a dream of income, push urgency and can barely explain the product, the price, the instructions and the terms. In a normal conversation you can first study the product and decide nothing.
02. “They promise this will cure me. Should I believe it?”
No. This is where an adult position is needed.
No. And we ourselves have no right to promise that — Advertising Law, article 25: legally these are food supplements, cosmetics, textiles and household devices, not treatments. Neither we nor a partner can promise you a cure, and if a consultant promises to remove a diagnosis or cancel medicines, that is not product strength. That is a reason to check yourself: that is why we collected documents, studies and links to primary sources here.
The strength is elsewhere. Thousands of living reviews from people who have used the products for years. A chance to try it yourself — no story replaces your own experience. And the scale: behind the goods stands a large technology manufacturer in health and longevity, working under Chinese state programmes.
03. “Terahertz, anions, tourmaline — science or a pretty dictionary?”
Science. And immediately, honestly, about what we are not allowed to write.
Let’s say it plainly: Advertising Law, article 25, forbids us from attributing medical properties to these goods. You will not see a single promise to cure here — not because there is nothing to say, but because such promises are fined, and rightly so. What we can show is the technologies, and this is not a marketer’s invention. Air ions have been studied since Chizhevsky — almost a hundred years; his 1960 book is in the Russian State Library. The pyro- and piezoelectric effect of tourmaline is described in university papers. Graphene received a Nobel Prize in Physics. The terahertz range is studied in laboratories around the world. We give direct links to primary sources in each technology review — open them, read them, decide.
And the main point: there is nothing unseen here. None of these technologies was invented yesterday in an advertising department — each has been studied for decades. The point is different: what has long worked in laboratories and physiotherapy rooms was made in a home form. Not a discovery, a transfer.
04. “Why does this cost more than a similar item on a marketplace?”
Because you are paying for different things. Sometimes — for risk.
The original has a construction patent, a Russian certificate with a number in the state registry, a known manufacturer and a warranty for the stated properties. A marketplace copy has none of this — no document, no address, no responsibility. We have seen with our own eyes “anion insoles” printed on a 3D printer: the same shape, the same name in the card, zero in common with the original inside. The difference is not a markup. The difference is that one is checked and someone answers for it, and the other you put into your shoes and wear every day.
The saving here is imaginary. A cheap copy at best simply will not work, at worst it will harm: an unknown material in constant contact with skin, unclear electronics next to the body. You cannot save on such things, and this is the only place in the article where we speak categorically.
Do not believe a single word. Check.
We collected the archive in one place so that you would not have to believe anyone: documents, patents, certificates, primary sources, registries, reviews.
The best check is still with your hands. No article, including this one, replaces fifteen minutes with a device. Write to us — we will tell you where you can come nearby and try. It costs nothing and obliges you to nothing.
