I can tell you this....if they're supposed to work by the production of some sort of energy field, one of the primary rules of physics is that the field intensity varies as the square of the distance from the source. So, let's say the Zapper has a field intensity of one unit at a distance of one centimeter (about 0.4 inches). To have the same field intensity at 2 cm, the source would have to four times as intense (2 squared). At 3 cm, 9 times as intense, and so on.
I can't quite picture how you would apply the field uniformly and thoroughly, in all parts of the digestive tract. Moreover, I cannot conceive of a device which will kill e.g. yeast, but not disrupt your own cells.
I'm speculating, but I'm thinking quack quack. Links, anyone?
