(Actually when I read it the first time I thought it said "purifying Deep Sea Mud," even better, right? Purifying Dead Sea Mud?!! Are they really serious?!)

I don't care where the mud came from - it wouldn't be purifying. But people somewhere must be buying it.
Actually they ARE serious. And I am impressed that you reacted. I mostly gloss over those sorts of things. In today's quackery climate where they peddle you anything from enzymes to super crystals and try to make you believe it cures cancer, consumers are wise to be wary. But, I have swum in the Dead Sea and the mud is extremely good for human skin. People generally rub down their entire bodies with the mud when they bathe in the Dead Sea. I DID! And I have never felt cleaner or more supple in my life, as I did afterwards. Sort of like an intense face mask for the entire body. Lots of skin care products are derived from dead sea mud. It certainly is a business venture, if nothing else. I don't know whether all these claims can be called proven or not, but here is a web site:

My mistake. This is the website I meant, more scientific and less commercial:

That's...interesting.
