Biotape, a "space age mylar" adhesive strip, connects the body's "broken circuits" to provide permanent relief from severe pain, including debilitating back pain and pain from arthritis, sciatica, and migraines.
Biotape was an adhesive strip Kevin Trudeau marketed by infomercial alongside Coral Calcium Supreme, claimed to work by connecting the body’s “broken circuits” (a phrase from the marketing record quoted in Trudeau v. FTC, 456 F.3d 178) and to provide permanent relief from severe, specifically named pain conditions. The cited enforcement record establishes that the FTC charged the claims as false and unsubstantiated and included them in the June 2003 complaint, July 2003 injunction, and September 2004 settlement. This bundle cites no independent clinical study or expert source testing the strip itself, so the claim is recorded as untested rather than scientifically refuted.
