I am not an atheist, but I do have an honest curious question about such mission work. As a non-Christian, can I go on a mission to help people in another country if I partner up with a local church? I guess that I'm asking if any of your hours in the day are spent actually explicitly teaching Christianity (as opposed to implicitly demonstrating your religion through your good works), in which case I would be woefully uneducated and out of place.

This story makes me sad because I'm a mom and I hear voices. I was diagnosed and began treatment many years before I had kids. I hope that your mom got the treatment that she needed and that she could still be a great mom despite her disability.

Sorry if I come off as attacking with my own hyperbole. It's hard to moderate tone online. I just learn by arguing, hence I am on Reddit.

If it works, why is it being marketed to the public on the same tier as an It Works Wrap without clinical proof?

On a lighter scientific note, are you working on any research projects to try to use your vests in a clinical context such as combating obesity or treating progeria or premature menopause hot-flashes or some zany thing like that?

I live in a region that is usually mildly cold, and we're all used to not heating the home or wearing bulky things when the temperature is 18 degrees Celsius. Why aren't we all skinny? Do you mean to say everyone north or south of the equator eats 1k extra calories a day or heats themselves? That's not chump change calories. As a small female, that's nearly half of my TDEE. Should we start sending heating vests to third world countries to combat starvation?

Why are you using hyperbole on your website such as: "Too much cold exposure [...] can extract so many calories so quickly that it can kill you." Uh, it's not like hypothermia starves you to death. It slows important chemical processes such as getting oxygen to important things like your brain cells, right?

As a radio nerd, I'm wondering how radio comes into play here, and how you "hack" a radio frequency alert system?

Also, are you going to make a Windows Phone app?
