[edit] Breast tissue expansion

I'm rather concerned about this section that has recently been added by a user whose only contributions are to add this website and its product to articles.

I don't consider the web site of the manufacturer to be a reliable source, and a quick google search didn't show up any reliable sources to show that this technique is real.

It looks about on par with enlarging a penis using a penis pump (that article also contains unreferenced statements) or using herbal pills or creams to try to increase bust size.

I'm assuming good faith for now and leaving it in the article, but if a reliable source cannot be found, I would have to conclude that it is a hoax or spam and remove it. --AliceJMarkham (talk) 01:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I suggest putting a short time limit on it (a week or so?) and if nothing is produced strike it to talk page as removed as spam without reliable sources. Wikipedia needs to stay out of consumer fraud compromises. Benjiboi 17:26, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Looks like NawlinWiki has made the decision and removed it as spam. I'm fine with that. --AliceJMarkham (talk) 22:19, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Innervation of new skin

I've always wondered if stretching to make new skin results in new nerves (all the way to the brain) and touch sensors or does the skin in effect become less sensitive, having less resolution as the spaces between touch sensors grow? Perhaps whether or not this is possible would be a good add to the article.
