Additives? TRIBOTECH IJP or Bi-tron any good?

Been looking around. This Tribotech IJP sounds interesting, but I was wondering if anyone has used or heard anything good or negative about them.

I'm too tired to post all the links to the FTC's website, but to make a long story short, almost every one of these oil additive companies has been sued by the FTC because none of them work. They have literaly sued every single one of these Slick 50 type additive companies and won each case. Ever wonder why you don't see any more infomercials on Duralube, ProLong, MotorUp, etc? There is absolutely no need to run these. Many of them contain chemicals that actually oxidize the internal metals in your engine, actually shortening the life of your engine.

I understand BG44K and Gumout Regane are also excellent fuel additives that can be used.
