Edit: Sorry, someone has gutted the web site, removing most of the information. The space itself has existed for quite a few years and I have been a volunteer member of staff since 2013. The tools are real. Despite the appearance probably given by this new website, the makerspace is not vaporware.
And yes, this should be a supplement and not a substitute for outdoor activity, normal cardio and strength training, stretching, etc.
But now I'm wondering why are panels made this way? I mean internally they're wired in series or at least substantially so. and I've read that shading a small portion of one panel will drastically reduce the output of that one panel. Is it possible to create a panel (e.g. nominally 12 volt system) with bypass diodes inside it? If so then why wouldn't they have been doing this all along?
I am looking at RV applications, thinking series would be ideal to reduce wiring cost, but just learned that a small patch on one panel of shade lowers current in the whole series, when wired that way. If there's some way they could be wired as a tree, with the high amperage portion of the circuit fairly short, that seems more efficient. But then I guess I have just reinvented the power grid... I'm talking about residential scale, though, or smaller.
I collected a lot of papers about this modality and related ones. I can share them if anyone would like. I will not be able to comment on them and I am not a medical professional. Perhaps this was simply the placebo that appealed to me.
But the reason I sought out this treatment is that it is practiced by a doctor who was recommended to me by an MD PhD neurologist at Mayo Clinic. That doctor now does more with ozone gas than he does with ultraviolet blood irradiation. he considers it to be part of a class of "oxidative therapies" including very high doses of vitamin C.
