Is Natural High Blood Pressure Exercises Program by ‘Christian Goodman’ worth your money or not? In my opinion, I think it is a scam designed to give you false hope, and you should stay away from it. Why do I say this? Read this review to find out.
Created in 2008, this program claims to ‘quickly and permanently heal your blood pressure’ to ‘below 120/80’ in ‘less than a week.’ Goodman further doubles down by claiming that High Blood Pressure Exercise Program is ‘by far the simplest, easiest, and most effective method to permanently normalize your blood pressure without suffering the side effects of prescription medications.’
Now take note of this claim above because it is the main reason why I call this program a scam. For now, let’s briefly look at how this program works.
How High Blood Pressure Exercise Program Works
According to Goodman, High Blood Pressure Exercise Program is a series of three exercises that you are supposed to do a few minutes a day. Lets quickly look at these exercises:
Exercise 1: This exercise is supposedly designed to ‘train your body and mind to keep your blood pressure down, even in the most stressfully active situations throughout the day.’
Exercise 2: This one is designed to ‘release all the emotions that are suppressed throughout the day due to our social requirements, without any drama.’ In other words, this exercise will supposedly relieve your stress, which of course, is one of the reasons why a lot of people have high blood pressure.
Exercise 3: This exercise is supposedly designed to ‘soothe your body and mind shortly before a good night sleep.’ Goodman claims that this exercise is capable of curing your insomnia or other sleep disorders typically treated with drugs.
These exercises, Goodman continues, has helped ‘88.7% of people who use it’ to lower their blood pressure ‘within a week.’ He also goes as far as to claim that his exercises will work for everyone irrespective of the cause of your increased blood pressure. Now this claim is a very big problem we’ll discuss later in this review.
So lets begin. Why is Natural High Blood Pressure Exercise Program a scam?
1. Christian Goodman is Unverifiable (Does NOT Exist)
Christian Goodman calls himself a ‘well known natural health researcher’ whose articles have been published in ‘several thousand websites and offline journals.’ Well I did a Google search for articles written by Goodman on several website and what did I find? You guessed it: NOTHING.
To make matters worse, there is no way of verifying the existence of Goodman. He has no photo on his website, no social media presence. Bottom line: It is impossible to find out who this author really is.
With that, we can’t verify that this author exists or is even qualified to give medical or physiotherapeutic advice for patients with high blood pressure. This means that should anything wrong happen as a result of using this program, there is no one to hold responsible. Red flag!
2. Unverifiable Testimonials on Website, Negative Testimonials From Third-Party Sources
All the testimonials on the Natural High Blood Pressure Exercises Program page are unverifiable, as there are no photos to confirm the identities of the testimonial names. But if you want to see real testimonials of this program, then simply go to the Amazon listing of the program. There you’ll see that 56% of reviewers gave it a 1-star rating, while only 22% gave it a 4-star.
3. Does NOT Permanently Reduce Your Blood Pressure Despite Claim
As we saw earlier, High Blood Pressure Exercises Program is a series of three exercises designed to make you relax, relieve stress and help you sleep. Yes, doing these exercises may help you relax and sleep better, which will reduce your blood pressure. But the problem is, you CAN’T stop doing the exercises because if you do, your BP will rise again. Now why do I say this? Because in this life, you cannot escape stressful situations! Hence, Goodman’s claim that his program will ‘permanently’ reduce your blood pressure is false.
Restlessness, insomnia and related sleep disorders are mostly caused by hormonal imbalance and activation of the sympathetic nervous system by stress factors. Meanwhile, hormonal imbalance is caused by a plethora of things (eating unbalanced diet, drugs, genetic disorders, etc) and so you have to diagnose the exact cause of the hormonal imbalance before you can do anything to treat it. High Blood Pressure Program does none of these things. Instead, you are only given three non-specific exercises which may or may not work for you.
Again, high blood pressure is caused by not just stress or insomnia. It is also caused by organic anomalies like liver diseases, kidney diseases, atherosclerosis, heart problems, atherovenous malformations, etc. By claiming that Natural High Blood Pressure Program will permanently reduce your blood pressure regardless of the cause, Goodman is implying that his program will also cure your liver disease, kidney disease, atherosclerosis…
Now do you see the absurdity?
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY Natural Blood Pressure Exercises Program. It is A SCAM!
Red Tea Detox is a brand new weight loss miracle product by our favorite female ‘author’ Liz Swann Miller and surprise…it is a scam! Of course, regular Contra Health Scam readers already know that Liz Swann Miller has been exposed before as the phony of the scam Red Smoothie Detox Factor so don’t expect anything good from it. This review will be short but for documentation sake, let’s check out what this new weight loss scam has to offer, shall we?
Red Tea Detox was created in March 2017. It claims to be able to help you shed one pound of excess fat per day by reducing your hunger cravings. All you have to do is to drink a few cups of red tea derived from ‘Africa.’
How interesting. I’m African myself and Africans are NOT known for drinking red tea…
Anyway, Miller claims that she ‘risked her life’ for this ‘cup of tea.’ According to what I can glean from her utterly irrelevant story, this ‘African’ red tea seemed to be what saved her from the poisonous bite of a rattlesnake, which apparently jumped her while she was on a hiking trip with her husband to a ‘remote African village.’ During that time she was having marital problems brought on by her excessive weight…and the journey was supposed to spice up her marriage.
Groan.
That’s all I can take from this boring, obviously made-up story. Now let’s go straight to the reasons why Red Tea Detox is a scam:
1. Liz Swann Miller Does NOT Exist!
Of course, Contra Health Scam readers know what I’m talking about. Liz Swann Miller is just a stock photo you can buy at Shutterstock.com!
What of the supposed photo of Liz and her ‘husband’ doing barbecue? Yup, that’s right. Shutterstock photo.
As I noted in my Red Smoothie Detox Factor review, this scammer is impersonating this particular picture model, using her face to market his scam. You can view all her photos here.
Finally, the before-after photo of Liz Swann Miller is equally fake. While we’ve established the ‘after’ photo as a stock, the ‘before’ photo is actually a stolen and doctored photo of a woman named Kelly.
If this doesn’t give you an idea of the kind of scammer we’re dealing with, I have a few more evidence to convince you:
2. Part of A Successful Scam Empire
The scammers behind Red Tea Detox are also behind known scams The 3-Week Diet, 2-Week Diet and 4-Week Diet. These scams are part of the most successful weight loss scams still in existence on the web … and it looks like they are not going away anytime soon.
Now how do I know about this?
If you go to the affiliate page of Red Tea Detox, you’ll see where it is clearly stated, ‘Brought to you by the creators of The 3 Week Diet and The Red Smoothie Detox Factor…’
Here is a screenshot in case they edit it out:
3. Fake Testimonials With Stolen, Stock Photos
Of course, since the scammer behind Red Tea Detox can go as far as doctoring a stolen photo and pass it off as that of the author, you shouldn’t expect me to believe that all those testimonial photos are not stolen. Besides, as I mentioned in my reviews of The 3-Week Diet and co., this scammer has the penchant of stealing testimonial photos from the web and passing it off as his own. So no surprises there.
Meanwhile, ‘Dr Robinson’ from Tampa, Florida is just a stock photo you can buy at Dreamstime.com.
4. Its Scientific Basis is Incoherent
The science behind what makes Miller’s tea a miracle fat burner is as incoherent as I expected. Aside from the overused weight loss facts strewn all over the presentation, the references cited by the presentation leads to nothing unique or special to warrant any claims of finding a ‘breakthrough.’ Of the 5 alleged miracle ingredients of the tea listed, only one was mentioned by name: Aspalathin. Aspalathin is a chemical compound found in South African rooibos plant. It is claimed to have antioxidative and antimutagenic effects, but no study has yet confirmed this.
More importantly, Aspalathin is found in any red tea made with rooibos plant, which is available at the grocery store closest to you. So if you want to benefit from the unproven effects of this compound, you don’t need to pay $37 for it!
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY Red Tea Detox. It is A SCAM!
Disregard all the positive reviews of this program currently making the first page of Google. Those are all paid reviews done either by the scammers or some uninformed affiliate who’s only interested in cashing in on a popular product.
If you’ve made the mistake of buying this program, quickly ask for a refund by going directly to its retailer Clickbank. Don’t bother contacting Liz Swann Miller for a refund because you won’t get your money back!

Outback Vision Protocol by ‘Bill Campbell’ is a highly deceptive scam you must avoid at all costs. Complete with a cute, tear jerker story and lies spread diffusely throughout, this scam is designed to convince even the most hardened skeptics to part with their money. So in this review I’m going to finally expose this product for what it is so sit back and be informed!
Created in June 2017, Outback Vision Protocol claims to have found the cure that will restore your vision ‘to near 20/20 in less than 3 weeks.’ According to Campbell, he used this cure to restore his wife Lindsay’s vision within the afore-mentioned time. Now what is this amazing remedy? A ‘natural smoothie’ made from an ancient Australian Aboriginal diet recipe. Now what is this recipe?
Spinach
Quandong fruit
Kakadu plums
Bush Tomatoes
Pigweed seeds
Kangaroo meat
Delicious.
Now I won’t to retell the backstory of this program, as it is boring, typical and most importantly, I don’t have the luxury of time anymore. So, on to the reasons why Outback Vision Protocol is a scam.
1. Bill Campbell is Unverifiable (Does NOT Exist)
Bill Campbell calls himself ‘a retired Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps.’ Apart from that, there is nothing else that we’re told.
He has no social media presence, and there is no way to verify that he indeed served in the U.S Marines.
The man reading the script in the video (right photo) and the photo provided of Campbell (left photo) do not look the same to me. But since I’m not certain of this one, I’ve decided to leave this one here for you guys to figure out.
Are they the same person or different?
Bottom Line: There is no way of verifying that this Campbell exists, or that he’s really who he says he is.
2. Staged Testimonials.
Just like we saw in my previous review of Vedda Blood Sugar Remedy, the testimonials featured in the Outback Vision Protocol looks too staged to be genuine. If you observe carefully, you won’t help but notice that the two individuals used in the testimonials were reading from a teleprompter or something like that. It wasn’t straight-out-of-the-box, as most genuine video testimonials are.
So don’t expect me to accept those testimonials as legit.
3. Part of Huge Scam Empire
A closer look at the origin of this scam led me to the affiliate section of the website, where I discovered that Outback Vision Protocol is owned and marketed by Spark Health Media. This is the same company behind the following known scams:
Now this explains why the design of the website was so familiar. I mean look at the websites of the above scams and compare them with that of Outback Vision Protocol. They’re basically using the same theme, same annoying pop-ups, same scammy marketing tactics, same habit of using paid actors to pretend to be the real authors of the programs.
So with this discovery, I can now confidently state that ‘Bill Campbell’ does NOT exist.
4. Grossly Misrepresents Scientific Research
Outback Vision Protocol is based on a 2006 scientific trial called Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS), which found that lutein and zeaxanthin – two compounds similar to carotene found in carrots – has been found to reduce the progression of age-related macular degeneration. But Campbell, who referenced a NIH article to authenticate his claim, conveniently omitted the part where the researchers stated in the same article that ‘age, diet and ethnicity are not the only factors for cataract and AMD. Hence prevention programs should not be solely based on these factors.’
On top of that, Campbell failed to mention that the study never said that lutein and zeaxanthin will ‘reverse’ macular degeneration. Instead, it was clearly stated that these compounds can only help prevent progression of an already-present macular degeneration. Specifically, ‘there is no known treatment that can prevent the early stages of AMD. However, the AREDS formulations may delay progression of advanced AMD and help you keep your vision longer if you have intermediate AMD, or advanced AMD in one eye.’ [NCBI]
Campbell claims that with Outback Vision Protocol, you can ‘achieve perfect 20/20 vision in as little as 3 weeks.’ But as you must have realized, lutein and zeaxanthin, the so-called ‘good guys’ the program is based on, have been shown to only slow down the progression of macular degeneration, NOT prevent or reverse it.
Again, Campbell made it seem like the only reason you’re losing your sight is because you don’t have enough of these two compounds in your eyes. He even claims that age and genetics are NOT possible factors, which is absolutely wrong. In all, this is a perfect example of a scammer cleverly twisting the result of a scientific research to market his scam!
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY Outback Vision Protocol. It is A SCAM!
Memory Repair Protocol by ‘Martin Reilly’ is a highly deceptive scam you must avoid. This review is going to be short because the scammers behind this product are also behind some scams previously exposed on this blog, and they’re using the same scamming tactics. So to not waste my time and yours, I’m going to emphasize mainly on the scam evidence unique to Memory Repair Protocol and briefly mention the common ones.
So, Memory Repair Protocol has been around since October 2016. According to Reilly, he has finally discovered the ‘natural’ remedy that will treat and prevent ‘every form of dementia’ in just 21 days. Now what is this remedy? A ‘dish’ made from ingredients sourced from Ballabgarh, a village in Northern India.
This is interesting. Let’s briefly look at the backstory, shall we?
Backstory of Memory Repair Protocol
Martin Reilly claims his wife of 25 years Sandra was diagnosed with early onset dementia and for a few years, she was placed under medication. But despite ‘promises’ by the doctors, nothing worked. Reilly goes further to emphasize that ‘not only did [the drugs] do absolutely nothing to help her, but most of them led to horrible side effects like nausea, diarrhea and slow heart rhythms, which resulted in Sandra fainting regularly.’
Understandably, Reilly was fed up with the ineffective drugs and the toll his wife’s dementia was having on him and his children, but he had no idea what to do. However, one afternoon while visiting a nearby local care home with his wife, Reilly says he ‘smelt something absolutely amazing coming from up the stairs.’ He even describes the smell as ‘one of those smells of food that make you just want to follow it, like in the movies.’ In fact, he admits he did exactly that, and that was how he found out that the ‘smell’ was coming from the kitchen of a 107-year old ‘tiny old lady from Northern India’ called Manisha.
Now Manisha is living in the local care home, but for some reason, she doesn’t appear to have any mental or memory problems. Reilly tells her about his wife’s dementia, and Manisha then informs him, ‘I come from a place where dementia don’t even exist, and it’s because of the food we eat.’ This discussion inspired Reilly to google ‘Ballabgarh and dementia’, where he found this BBC article reporting that residents of the village have ‘an unusually low levels of Alzheimer’s disease.’
This ‘discovery’ led him to do some more research and discover more studies done with coconut oil and some ‘Indian spice.’ At the end of the day, he teamed up with one ‘Doctor Miles Fielding’ and 13 months later, Memory Repair Protocol was born.
OK. Now that’s out of the way, let me tell you why you should NOT believe the above story or buy this program.
1. Martin Reilly is Unverifiable (Does NOT Exist)
Martin Reilly calls himself a 59-year old science teacher living in Stamford, Connecticut with his wife and three children. Of course, there is no way of verifying this information because he has no social media presence.
Again, I don’t believe the man reading the script in the video presentation is Martin Reilly. He’s just a paid actor. You’ll realize why I said this later in the review.
2. Part of a Huge Scam Empire
Memory Repair Protocol is owned and marketed by a company called Spark Health Media. Regular readers of Contra Health Scam already know that this is the same company behind the following scams:
If you check out the websites of these scams you’ll realize that their design is similar to that of Memory Repair Protocol, and they all use paid actors to read the script in the video presentations. After what I’ve seen so far, there’s no way that I’ll ever believe that any product connected to Spark Health Media is legit.
3. Staged Testimonials.
Just like in the scams listed above, Memory Repair Protocol testimonials are too staged and professionally shot to be genuine. Not much to say here.
In the backstory, Reilly mentioned a BBC article reporting that a years-long research by the University of Pittsburgh in Ballabgarh found that its senior citizens have possibly the lowest cases of Alzheimer’s disease in the world. He then attributes the whole thing to the diet of the locals.
However, Reilly conveniently left out the part where in the same article, it was also stated that the reason for the low incidence of Alzheimer’s disease in the village is because the residents lacked the APO4E gene, which is the MAIN factor that predisposes one to developing Alzheimer’s. Going further, the article also reported that the villagers live an active, low-stress lifestyle and have a strong family support unlike their counterparts in urban areas. Diet also has a notable effect, but it is definitely NOT the reason why there are low rates of dementia in Ballabgarh!
Bottom line: Memory Repair Protocol is spinning the BBC article (and the other scientific articles cited) in order to sell the lie that you just need a diet program to reverse your dementia. Don’t fall for it!
Again, Reilly references a 2014 research published in the journal Neurobiology and Aging, where it was found that consuming coconut oil -which contains middle-chain fatty acids – caused the buildup of ketones in the brain, which then led to increased cognitive function on the patients tested. However, Reilly failed to mention that this study yielded mixed results – 50-50 to be exact – and the researchers recommended that more studies be done before a definite conclusion can be made.
Bottom line: The coconut oil research is inconclusive and cannot be relied upon for now.
Finally, Reilly made a huge blunder by claiming that ketones are ‘EXACTLY what brain cells need to dissolve excess glucose and convert it into energy.’ Actually, ketones are only created in the body when glucose is ABSENT in the body cells. Excess glucose in the blood, as seen in diabetes, is NOT converted to ketones. Instead, it is FAT that gets converted to ketones [Mayo Clinic].
Geesh, this scammer doesn’t know what he’s talking about!
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY Memory Repair Protocol. It is A SCAM!
The unfortunate fact is, dementia is an organic brain disease that can’t be reversed by diet alone. Genetic predisposition is by far the main factor behind development of dementia, and so far there’s no remedy that can reverse dementia. There are currently measures that can significantly slow down the progression of dementia, which is already mainstream knowledge. Don’t let anyone give you false hope and tell you that you can cure dementia in just 21 days as it is not true!
BuyGoods is the retailer of this program. So if you made the mistake of purchasing it, quickly as for your money back by using this form.

Thin From Within by well-known nutrition and fitness expert Brad Pilon is NOT a scam, and in this review you’ll find out all you need to know about this program, which I think is a better option than the over-hyped Ketogenic diet.
Created in January 2018, Thin From Within (aka Truth About Keto) is a program designed specifically for women aged 18-65. According to Pilon, this program will show you how to lose weight without having to cut off your favorite foods or resort to ketogenic diet. But before we go into details, let’s find out who Brad Pilon is, shall we?
Who is Brad Pilon?
Brad Pilon
Brad Pilon is a well-known nutrition and fitness expert. He is the author of the breakout, highly successful weight loss program Eat Stop Eat – a program based on intermittent fasting.
I did a detailed bio of Pilon in my Eat Stop Eat review so check it out for more information.
Basis of Truth From Within
From what I can infer from the awesome video presentation, Brad Pilon developed Truth From Within in response to the ketogenic diet craze currently trending on the web. In my professional opinion, I don’t recommend ketogenic diet as a reliable way of losing and keeping off lost weight because its effectiveness is as a direct result of putting your body in a functionally abnormal state which, in the long run, will lead to more serious problems if not checked.
Pilon backs me up on this issue, and goes on to highlight how ketogenic diet is particularly harmful to women. He then proposes a better, healthier way for women to lose weight and keep it off, without having to suffer the side effects commonly associated with ketogenic diet.
But before we go further, allow me to answer this question:
What is Ketogenic Diet?
Ketogenic Diet is the method of eating developed at the Mayo Clinic in the 1920s where carbs are completely eliminated from the diet, forcing the body to shut down insulin (the fat storing hormone) and burn fat instead for energy. Now the body burns fat by first converting it into compounds known as ketones, which are then used by body cells as fuel.
Now this diet wasn’t originally designed for weight loss. Its developers originally intended it to be used under medical supervision to treat epilepsy in children. Its use in epilepsy was later abandoned because of the development of anti-epileptic drugs. But recently, the ketogenic diet has become popular again because of its tendency to cause rapid weight loss in a short period of time.
Advantages of Ketogenic Diet
Apart from rapid weight loss, Ketogenic Diet has been reported to also cause the following health benefits:
But according to Pilon, these health benefits have not been practically shown beyond the laboratory. Kevin Pels of Massive demonstrated this perfectly in his review of keto diet supplement HVMN Ketone.
Side Effects of Ketogenic Diet
Since ketogenic diet causes the human body to function abnormally, it’s no surprise that it has potential side effects. Brad Pilon goes ahead to list some of them:
‘Keto Flu’: Headache, dizziness, fatigue, cramping, stomach pains, constipation, confusion, irritability, concentration problems, bad breath, difficulty sleeping. Now these symptoms can subside within days or weeks, but can reappear after the keto diet is stopped and then started again.
Nutrient deficiency
Dehydration
Electrolyte imbalance
Now while these side effects should already be a source of concern, Brad Pilon goes on to explain my biggest problem with ketogenic diet: Sustainability.
The Biggest Problem of Ketogenic Diet: Sustainability
My biggest problem with Ketogenic Diet is that it is highly unsustainable as a lifestyle. According to Pilon, there has not been a single successful long-term study of sustainability of ketogenic diet due to ‘high dropout rate, non-compliance, adverse events and side effects.’ He goes on to cite data from National Weight Control Registry, which indicates that <1% of those who lost more than 28 pounds and kept it off followed the ketogenic diet.
Another issue I have with the ketogenic diet is that you’ll suffer a massive rebound weight gain should you decide to quit the diet. So for it to work, you must monitor your blood to ensure that your body is constantly in the state of ketosis. And since it is a proven fact that your body can’t be in the state of ketosis for a lifetime, it is highly unlikely that you can keep off lost weight if you decide to quit.
Why Ketogenic Diet is Bad For Women
Now while it is an established fact that metabolism in males and females are different due to the different sex hormones, one other thing is that fat loss in both sexes are also different. This is again due to differences in hormonal composition.
One known fact is that men can tolerate harsh diets like ketogenic diet and lose weight faster than women. But another sad fact is that ketogenic diet is more dangerous to women than men. This is because, just as Pilon pointed out, ketogenic diet deactivates the hormone leptin, which is the main hormone responsible for weight loss and increased fat metabolism in women. Now combine that with a shut-down fat-storing hormone insulin, and you’ll have a recipe for disaster. In fact, cases of people on a ketogenic diet with glucose fluctuations and insulin resistance typically seen in Type 2 diabetes has been reported. Also, there are many reported cases of leptin resistance. All these symptoms ultimately leads to massive rebound weight gain, which is particularly more severe in women.
So my question is, why put your body through all these problems while there are other better, safer methods of comfortably losing weight? Please note that even though I’m not a fan of the ketogenic diet, I’m not saying that it is not a healthy way of weight loss. I’m just saying that it is a complicated, risky method of weight loss that is best used under the strict supervision of a physician as was originally intended. This is not the kind of diet program you can just purchase online and try without expert supervision.
Now let’s return to the review.
All About Thin From Within
Like I stated earlier, Thin From Within is a weight loss program designed specifically for women. Its aim is to give you the same weight loss results that the ketogenic diet gives, but without all the associated side effects. The program is built on three phases:
1. Phase 1: Microflora Rebalancing. This phase, Pilon says, is designed to help you ‘restore’ the natural balance of the good bacteria in your digestive tract. This bacterial balance is usually destroyed by bad diets and drugs, which then leads to poor digestion, constipation and other gastrointestinal symptoms normally seen in ketogenic diet. In this phase, you’ll learn of the foods you must temporarily avoid and those to add to your diet in order to get your good bacteria in good shape and your body ready for losing weight.
2. Phase 2: Metabolic Rebalancing. This is is the main weight loss phase. Here you’ll be given balanced diet recipes designed to boost metabolism in women. According to Pilon, these diets are designed to suit your female metabolism ‘as well as your body shape and size, and your current lifestyle and fitness level.’ There is also a ‘virtual nutritionist’ to help with the diets.
This phase also has a series of female body workouts to accompany the diets for maximum results. These exercises come in the form of ‘an extensive library of video coaching lessons’ reportedly designed ‘to help even the newest beginner perform the exercises in a
safe, effective and optimal manner that’s in-line with your current fitness abilities.’ It is a 12-week exercise program with 143 videos, which can be downloaded to your phone, computer or tablet for offline use.
3. Phase 3. Community, Support and Customization. This is the social aspect of Thin from Within. Here you’ll gain access to a forum of women using the program for weight loss, and you’ll not feel alone in your weight loss journey. Pilon says he has a team of Thin From Within Coaches available in the forum to answer questions, share weight loss strategies and offer other forms of support.
Pricing of Thin From Within
Thin From Within costs $37. After paying this amount, you’ll get access to everything, including the workout videos and access to the forum. But be aware that they might be upsells, so look out for that and only buy if you’ll need them.
The price does not cover shipping and handling, which costs $19.95. So be ready to pay $56.95 total.
Thin From Within also comes with a 60-day money back guarantee. So if you’re not satisfied with the program, you can ask for a refund by calling 1(844)-694-8446 or contacting them at support@livethinfromwithin.com. Please note that you’ll only be refunded $37. The shipping cost is nonrefundable.
Clickbank is the retailer of this program. So you can go directly to them for your money back also by using this guide.
Pros of Thin From Within
Author is real and super qualified to provide services on weight loss and nutrition.
No scammy advertising.
Author is honest about the dangers of ketogenic diet. Many keto crooners out there only tell their prospective buyers about the good sides of the diet
Real testimonials
Program is based on a solid scientific foundation
You’ll get real value for your money.
Cons of Thin From Within
1. Lack of Third Party Testimonials. Thin From Within is a relatively new program and so it doesn’t have testimonials from third party sources yet. I believe that with time, this will change.
2. Dances Around on Pricing. I don’t like it when marketers play games with pricing. If it costs $37, then tell me straight away. That’s far better than telling me it costs $97, only to then say a few moments later that no, it costs $37. This is the main problem I had with Pilon’s otherwise well-done presentation. Please stop playing mind games with pricing!
Don’t waste your time trying The Faith Diet by ‘Father White’ for your weight loss because it is a scam! This ‘Bible-based’ program is nothing but a lazy attempt to rebrand 60 Day Fix, a scam I exposed in this blog in January last year. Apparently after I exposed it as fake, the scammer abandoned the 60-Day Fix name and even changed the author’s name in order to make it look original or different. But as you’ll see in this review, the scammer did a very lazy job!
The Faith Diet (as the scammer wants us to believe) was created in March 2018. It’s ‘author’ Christopher White (aka Father White or Simon White) claims that he has discovered ’12 Biblical ingredients’ from the Dead Sea, Red Sea and Sea of Galilee, which, when taken ‘in a precise order’ will help you lose weight. He even attempts to exploit the ongoing, never-ending debate between atheists and Christians by proclaiming that atheist scientists have declared ‘an unholy war’ against the Bible. According to him, atheist scientists believe that if they don’t ‘censor’ the Bible and keep it away from American families, the ‘shocking’ weight loss secret it allegedly contains will ‘put 95% of physicians out of business’ and shut down the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry ‘forever’. Talk about conspiracy!
Ugh. That’s exactly what was claimed in 60 Day Fix. But I’m not going to bore you with his rubbish backstory. Let’s quickly go to the reasons why you should NOT buy The Faith Diet.
Father White Does NOT Exist!
In the video presentation, you can see a man wearing a priest collar shirt calling himself Father White, a former ‘military chaplain’. Well I’m sorry, but that man is NOT a priest. He’s a paid actor!
How do I know? Because I know for a fact that the original ‘author’ of this program was called ‘Jordan White’ (aka Father Jordan) and he was just a stolen photo of a Catholic priest called Bill Hill. Not only that, the photo he showed us of his wife and kids are fake. You can buy his ‘wife’s photo at iStock.com, and his ‘children’s photo has been everywhere on the internet since at least 2011. Besides, since we’ve already established that the woman in the photo is not his wife, what are the odds that those kids are indeed his kids? Zero.
So don’t listen to that shameless man who’s only interested in the paycheck he’ll receive for reading a script.
2. Fake Testimonials Recycled From 60 Day Fix
The testimonials on The Faith Diet are not just fake, but are the same testimonials used in 60 Day Fix. You can see in my 60 Day Fix review that I exposed all of them and so I’ll just copy and paste my findings here for your convenience.
‘Brenda’ from Orlando, Florida is actually a stolen testimonial photo of a British woman called Rachael Dean;
‘Chris’ from Des Moines, Iowa is actually a very popular before-after testimonial that has been used in countless weight loss scams;
‘Jasmine’ from Chicago, Illinois is actually a stolen testimonial photo of a 21-year old British student named Sabrina Parkins;
‘Sam’ from Phoenix, Arizona is actually a testimonial photo of a YouTube vlogger named Jack Wildd (Warning: foul language);
‘Leslie’ from Atlanta, Georgia is actually the stolen testimonial photo of a 37-year old British woman named Nikki Heckels;
‘Sarah’ from New York is actually the stolen photo testimonial of Instagram user Katie Collins;
‘Fred’ from Utah is actually the stolen photo of a blogger named Robbie.
This just proves how incredibly lazy this scammer is. In fact, I’m done with this review. If you want more information about this product, my 60 Day Fix review‘s got you covered.
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY The Faith Diet. It is A SCAM!
As you can see, The Faith Diet is not just an offensive weight loss program that insults the intelligence of Christians, but is also a lazy rebranding job by a dumb scammer. Don’t hire this kind of person to handle your PR!
Clickbank is the retailer of this program so if you made the mistake of buying it, simply contact Clickbank directly for your refund. Don’t bother going to ‘Father White’ because you’ll never get your money from him.

Fat Decimator by supposed ex-Marine ‘Kyle Cooper’ is a scam you must avoid. This particular program is a collaborative effort by well-known scammers I’ve exposed previously and by the time you’ll finish reading this review, you’ll understand what I’m talking about and what we’re dealing with. So sit back, grab your reading glasses (if you use one) and happy reading!
Fat Decimator was created in August 2017 but was officially launched in May this year. According to Cooper, his program enabled one ‘Sharon Monroe’, a 43-year old mother of two, to ‘mysteriously lose over 40 pounds’ and ‘literally save her life.’ He goes on to claim that by taking out one ‘veggie’ from your diet, you can lose up to ‘3 pounds every 72 hours.’
I’m going to skip the long, boring backstory, which makes up the bulk of Fat Decimator’s 1 hour, 12 minutes(!) video presentation. So let’s go to the fun part. Why is Fat Decimator a scam?
1. Kyle Cooper Does NOT Exist!
Kyle Cooper calls himself an ex-Marine gunnery sergeant. He claims he led an expedition to capture Osama bin Laden in the desert of Afghanistan, where he incidentally stumbled upon the weight loss ‘breakthrough.’
Well that’s all hogwash, because Kyle Cooper is just a doctored stock photo bought from Dreamstime.com!
As you can see, the scammers went as far as artificially adding hair to the head of ‘Cooper’, who is actually bald in the original stock photo. Talk about dedication to deceiving people. LOL!
It gets worse: Kyle Cooper showed us a photo of his family and guess what? It is a doctored stock photo you can buy at Alamy.com!
To further demonstrate how far the scammers went to deceive people about Kyle Cooper’s identity, they even created a fake ‘About’ page (complete with more doctored stock photos), a personal website, and even cooked up an ‘interview with Kyle Cooper.’ These pages are designed to dupe would-be affiliates into thinking that they are promoting a legit product from a qualified, real author.
Jeez … these guys ain’t playing!
2. Sharon Monroe Does NOT Exist!
Sharon Monroe, the face of Fat Decimator, is described as a 43-year old accountant and mother of two, who almost died from cardiovascular disease until she turned things around with Kyle’s program. Riiight. Here is the truth. This woman does NOT exist, because she’s just a stock photo you can buy from 123RF.com,Fotosearch.com, Canstockphoto.com, PressFoto.com…
So what does this tell you? Sharon is NOT obese. She doesn’t have any family. She never suffered from any cardiovascular disease and she never used Fat Decimator to lose 40 pounds.
Moving on.
3. Fake Testimonials With Stolen, Doctored, Recycled Photos
All the testimonials featured in Fat Decimator are stolen photos which, like Kyle Cooper’s photo, was doctored to conceal their real origins. Not only that, but some of these same testimonial photos are also used to market scams like the 2 Week Diet.
For example:
‘Amanda’ is a photo of a woman named Diane Naylor. Her extraordinary weight loss even made the news in January last year. As you can see from the Daily Mail article, the color of Diane’s clothes are starkly different from her photos used in Fat Decimator, proving that the scammers doctored it! Also, the background was changed.
‘Vince’ is a popular before-after photo that is found mainly in Russian/Ukrainian blogs. If you look closely, you’ll notice that Fat Decimator doctored its background.
So as you can see, the level of deception used in Fat Decimator is incredible. And I’m not done yet. There’s more!
4. Fat Decimator is a Collaboration of Known Weight Loss Scammers
The scammers behind Fat Decimator want you to believe that this program was written by Kyle Cooper. But if you look at the affiliates section of the website, you’ll quickly discover the real person behind this scam: Wesley Virgin. Yeah that’s right. The same guy behind the successful scam known as Fat Diminisher!
In fact, the website didn’t just out Virgin as the mastermind and the REAL creator of Fat Decimator. It also outed him as the mastermind behind the following scams:
In addition, here is a video of Virgin boasting that Fat Diminisher made him over $30 million and that this particular Fat Decimator scam is projected to make him over $100 million. Of course, you’re not supposed to see this video. But now you know what’s going on behind the scenes.
Just in case he takes down the whole thing later, here is a screenshot.
5. Fat Decimator is A Repackaging of Older Scams
I checked out the preview copy of Fat Decimator and I immediately realized that it was nothing more than a rehash of what was already written in the older scams. There is absolutely nothing new in the offer. Let me give you a summary:
Fat Decimator is all about removing carbs from your diet (the same method used in The 2 Week Diet, 3 Week Diet, 4 Week Diet)
Fat Decimator promotes the use of dangerous drugs. In fact, it recommended the same drugs that was recommended in The 3 Week Diet.
Fat Decimator talks about food acids causing your body to become acidic and preventing you from losing weight – the same thing used in Fat Diminisher.
So as you can see, this is an absolute scam. Don’t fall for it!
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY Fat Decimator. It is A SCAM!
Clickbank is the retailer of this product. So if you’ve made the mistake of buying it, immediately contact Clickbank directly for your money back. Don’t bother contacting Wesley Virgin because you’ll never get your money from him!

Natural Wonders by American Health Collective (AHC) is nothing but a poorly-concocted scam that can be easily seen through by even the most inexperienced skeptic. This program is nothing but a pathetic attempt to capitalize on the side effects of drugs to dupe people, a common tactic that never gets old. I’m not really going to waste my precious time reviewing this program in detail, as it is not worth it. You’ll see why later in this review so sit back and happy reading!
Natural Wonders was created in April 2017 by an organization calling itself American Health Collective (AHC). Its leader is one ‘Bryce Hammond,’ who claims that his organization has been in existence for the past 14 years. The basis of this program is the conspiracy theory that the U.S government has teamed up with ‘Big Pharma’ to essentially kill you with drugs. Bryce claims that this ‘sickening relationship’ was created for selfish reasons and not to help the poor masses. Hence the reason why Natural Wonders is coming to the rescue.
Unlike The Big Diabetes Lie which only deals with diabetes, Natural Wonders claims to be a super book that ‘includes natural, drug-free treatments and remedies for the world’s most common killers, including type 2 diabetes, tumors, dementia, heart disease and more.’ We’ll see about that, shall we?
OK. Now to the reasons why Natural Wonders is a scam.
1. American Health Collective Does NOT Exist!
AHC claims to be ‘the World’s leading network of alternative health specialists’ with over 157,000 followers. That’s funny, because this organization has no social media presence whatsoever (Don’t confuse it with American Health Council). To make matters worse, the photo provided in the video of the supposed AHC ‘doctors’ is nothing but a doctored stock photo you can buy at 123RF.com!
And speaking of their leader…
2. Bryce Hammond Does NOT Exist!
Bryce Hammond calls himself the research director of AHC. Of course, that’s a lie because he’s just a stock photo you can buy from a multitude of stock photo websites. I mean, where do I start from?
So it goes without saying that we are dealing with a full-fledged scam right here.
4. Gives False Hope To Patients With Incurable Diseases, Uses Scare Tactics
The marketing strategy employed by the scammers behind Natural Wonders is to infect you with the paranoia that the ‘Big Pharma’ and the government is out to get you with dangerous drugs, and they are hiding ‘natural remedy’ info from you so that you’ll keep on inflating their pockets with your money. In fact, the scammers took the narrative to another level by claiming that they also got the secret to ‘prevent and even treat dementia.’
FYI, there are many forms of dementia, which are caused by a buildup of rogue proteins called tau, amyloid and prions. To prove how unqualified these scammers are in health matters, AHC claims that dissolving beta-amyloid proteins in the brain ‘is the key to reversing dementia.’ This is emphatically false, because beta-amyloid deposits is not the only cause of dementia. And the sad reality is that there is no cure for dementia, and research is currently going on to come up with effective prevention and treatment.
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY Natural Wonders. It is A SCAM!
BuyGoods is the retailer of this program. So if you’ve made the mistake of buying this program, use this form to get your refund. Also don’t forget to share this review to the relevant people so that they too will be warned!

Flat Belly Fix by former cop-turned trainer Todd Lamb is not a blatant scam. However, it is not a good program either and doesn’t merit the hype thrown into your face in the promotional video. In this review I’ll tell you why you should not take this product seriously and why you should instead go for another weight loss program.
Flat Belly Fix was created in May 2016. Todd claims that this program helped his ‘crippled’ wife (who is a cop also) to shed 23 pounds in 21 days without having to starve herself or do any strenuous exercise. Of course, he accompanied his claim with a sob, heart-tugging story of his wife’s weight loss journey but I’m not going to dispute it even though I believe that most parts of his story are exaggerated for dramatic effect.
Oh, and before we continue, let’s find out who this Todd Lamb is, shall we?
Who is Todd Lamb?
Todd Lamb (AlphaNation)
Todd Lamb is a retired police officer. According to his website, he has 17 years experience as a cop and retired as a SWAT team leader with over 350 missions completed. He also served in the Canadian Armed Forces and also has a professional diving experience.
Todd Lamb is the creator of several fitness programs which many people in the athletic fitness field find very useful. Flat Belly Fix is his first program dedicated to the everyday person wanting to lose weight.
Bottom Line: Todd Lamb is a legit badass. But I can’t say if he’s a legit badass when it comes to weight loss. We’ll have to find out.
Basis of Flat Belly Fix
Flat Belly Fix is based on Todd’s ‘discovery’ that capsaicin – the compound responsible for the hotness of pepper – can lead to weight loss. According to Lamb, ‘researchers’ found that capsaicin:
‘Tunes up’ the body’s metabolism
Converts ‘useless and dangerous white fat’ into brown fat, the latter then burns the white fat for energy
Interferes with the enzymes that synthesize fat, thereby preventing the formation of mature fat cells.
Lamb attempted to validate his claim by citing a 2012 research by Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine (without providing any reference links). Then this happened.
Hold on one second. How was a 2012 research article published in a 2010 journal?
It gets worse. In the video, Lamb claims that the Hokkaido researchers did their experiment using humans. But in the text version (where I got the screenshot above), rats were used instead. Which one is it, Todd?
Fun Fact: Todd says the capsaicin weight loss idea came to him after he was pepper-sprayed during a SWAT mission. How cool!
The Truth About Capsaicin
Capsaicin has indeed been found to have ‘potential’ benefits to patients with cardiovascular or metabolic disorders, including obesity [NCBI, 2015]. The problem, however, the fact that capsaicin works by activating a receptor that is also present in many other unrelated tissues of the body. This makes its use in clinical practice as an ingestible drug uncertain due to the very real risk of side effects. More research is still needed before capsaicin can be officially sanctioned for use as a nutritional supplement or even as an oral drug.
So for now, continue enjoying your moderately hot-peppered meals. Drinking Todd Lamb’s Flat Belly Fix ‘tea’ is in no way better than your spicy food.
Inside Flat Belly Fix (Spoiler: Has Nothing Special)
Danyon of HealthVI.org actually bought Fat Belly Fix and here is what he has to say about the program:
I mean, it wasn’t terrible; I definitely have seen a lot worst. I’ve seen products that charge free information at a cost, including a bunch of motivational fluff and a bunch of other random information on topics with almost no relation to weight loss. With that being said, Todd Lamb’s Flat Belly Fix definitely isn’t something that I can recommend to you.
According to Danyon, Flat Belly Fix has basic weight loss information (which you can find online for free), a few diet recommendations, and a set of exercise videos. And speaking of exercise videos, Danyon says that Todd Lamb didn’t even explain why and how to use these exercises for weight loss. Danyon also noted that Todd Lamb didn’t even put in the needed effort into producing this program. It’s more like a lazy attempt by someone to produce a high-demand program in a field that he’s no expert in.
You can check out Danyon’s review for more details about what’s inside Flat Belly Fix.
Final Conclusion: NOT A Scam, But NOT RECOMMENDED.
There are far better weight loss programs that you can try instead of Flat Belly Fix. You can find them in my Whitelist. The top 5 recommended weight loss programs are listed below.
In conclusion, Todd Lamb is a legit badass who knows a lot about combat and staying in military shape. Unfortunately, he’s not good enough when it comes to combating medical conditions like obesity. So he should stick to making fitness and combat sports programs.

Tonaki Tinnitus Protocol by ‘Todd Carson’ is a well-produced scam that lacks substance, and you should stay away from it! The scammers behind this product went at great lengths to make sure that their product looks legit … but from my experience, lies and deception are always exposed at the end of the day. This review will demonstrate this perfectly so sit back and happy reading!
Tonaki Tinnitus Protocol was created in May 2018. It claims to have the ‘breakthrough’ cure that can treat your tinnitus in just 21 days. Todd Carson tells us the oh-so-sad-pity-me story of his wife Jo’s bad tinnitus and how doctors failed to treat her blah blah blah … until he figured out the supposed real cause of tinnitus – the degeneration of a certain ‘nerve fat’.
Of course, we’ll get to details later but let’s start with the fun part: The reasons why Tonaki Tinnitus Protocol is a scam.
1. Todd Carson is Unverifiable (Does NOT Exist)
Todd Carson claims to be a 52-year old ex-military police officer who served in the U.S Air Force and the Marines ‘for over two decades.’ That’s a pretty solid resume if only it were true … as I’m confident that the man in the video claiming to be Todd Carson is a paid actor!
To start with, this Todd Carson doesn’t have any social media presence. But the next point below is the main reason I’m sure he’s a paid actor. Read on.
2. Part of A Huge Scam Empire
When you head to the affiliates section of Tonaki Tinnitus Protocol, you’ll quickly see that it is owned and marketed by Spark Health Media. This company is behind some of the most popular scams on the web … and all of them were first exposed by Contra Health Scam. I mean, take a look at the glorious list:
As you can see, all these scams use the same website design, paid actors, and sometimes even share the same backstory. This company is particularly notorious for doctoring stock images for use as author photos or testimonials.
Speaking of backstories …
3. Uses The Same Backstory as Memory Repair Protocol
After reading the backstory of Tonaki Tinnitus Protocol, I realized that I’ve read the same backstory months earlier at a different website with a different product. It didn’t take long to figure it out: This same backstory was used in Memory Repair Protocol – another popular scam by Spark Health Media.
Here are some damning similarities:
In both Tonaki Tinnitus Protocol and Memory Repair Protocol, an old woman is the heroine who revealed the ‘breakthrough’ secret
Todd Carson says he was hungry and ‘a sweet smell’ of food attracted him to the old woman’s house. The same thing happened at Memory Repair Protocol.
Check out the screenshots below.
Coincidence? I think not.
Of course, to make things different, Tonaki Tinnitus Protocol changed the location from Ballabgarh, India (Memory Repair Protocol) to Tonaki and Okinawa (Japan). But like I said earlier, lies and deception can’t stay hidden forever!
4. Staged, Untrustworthy Testimonials.
Just like in the other scams above, the testimonial videos of Tonaki Tinnitus Protocol are too staged to be genuine, with the multiple-angle camera shots and all. Spark Health Media went a step further by adding untraceable testimonial photos to supplement the videos, but given their history of doctoring photos, there’s no chance in hell that I’ll believe that those photos are genuine.
5. Twists Scientific Facts To Sell Scam
According to Tonaki Tinnitus Protocol, damage to the myelin sheath that covers the auditory nerve (the nerve that transmits audio signals to the brain) is ‘the real, root cause of tinnitus.’ Carson goes further to claim that the government and Big Pharma has conspired to ‘hide’ this information from you ‘because it would cripple the 10 billion dollar tinnitus treatment industry overnight.’
Actually, Carson is outright lying here. Fact is damage to the myelin sheath of the auditory nerve is NOT the only cause of tinnitus. There are many causes of tinnitus, degeneration of myelin being just one of them [RareDiseases.org]. And no, the government is not hiding anything. Everything is available online free of charge!
Again, Carson claimed that his wife was also diagnosed with early dementia and her tinnitus was one of the early signs. Well if that’s true, then his claim that her severe tinnitus was reversed in just 21 days is outright false. This is because dementia is a disease condition that slowly progresses and is IRREVERSIBLE [Alz.org].
Next, Carson claims that the purple sweet potatoes (part of the recipe he received from the old woman he met) contains a nutrient called quercetin, which has supposedly been found to regenerate myelin ‘in 30 days.’ He then cited this study to prove his claim. But if you read the report you’ll see that the researchers found that quercetin can boost regeneration of myelin in brains suffering from perinatal cerebral hypoxic ischemia (PHI) in 30 days. In other words, according to the study, quercetin is only beneficial in regenerating myelin in fetuses and newborns, NOT adults!
I can go on and on and on but by now I believe you’ve got the point. Tonaki Tinnitus is full of lies, twists and half-truths designed to completely deceive you. Stay away from this product!
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY Tonaki Tinnitus Protocol. It is A SCAM!
BuyGoods is the retailer of this program. So if you’ve made the mistake of buying this program, ask for your refund by using this form.
Please know that only specialist doctors can help you with your tinnitus. So consult your neurologist or otolaryngologist and related specialists for help about your tinnitus so that they can properly diagnose your condition and proffer appropriate treatment.

Is food supplement GRS Ultra by ‘George Bridgeham’ a scam or not? My investigation findings indicate that we are dealing with a weird scam that you should never consider buying. In this review you’ll find out all about this product, who created it and why you should stay as far away from it as possible.
GRS Ultra was created in March 2017. According to George Bridgeham, he has found the ‘hidden secret’ that ‘eliminates the root cause of disease.’ Now what is this supposed root cause of disease? ‘Free radicals,’ he says.
Bridgeham goes on to claim that the he discovered the ‘hidden secret’ in the volcanoes of Iceland, whose ash enriches the soil with ‘brimstone’ (sulfur), an essential nutrient for both plants and humans, and selenium.
How GRS Ultra Works
GRS Ultra’s goal is to increase the levels of glutathione in the body. For those who don’t know, glutathione is a substance naturally produced by the liver, and it is the body’s main antioxidant. Antioxidants are substances which fight and eliminate free radicals from the body. Free radicals are highly reactive by-products of body metabolism that can cause cell damage and lead to various kinds of diseases and accelerate aging.
The liver uses sulfur and selenium to make glutathione so GRS Ultra claims to boost this process by supplying the body with more selenium and sulfur. But is this a good idea? We shall see.
Components of GRS Ultra
GRS Ultra consists of the following substances:
SelenoExcell. Bridgeham claims that this substance is ‘the world’s most potent and bioavailable form of selenium you can find – guaranteed.’ He goes on to say that SelenoExcell – which is a supplement by Cypress Systems Inc. – has been found to cause ‘a 63% reduction in prostate cancer, 58% less colon cancer, 46% reduction in lung cancer and a 50% decrease in cancer mortality.’ Of course, Bridgeham didn’t bother to provide any reference link to support this claim, and the SelenoExcell website didn’t mention such figures.
N-Acetyl Cysteine. This is a drug most famous for being the antidote to Tylenol (paracetamol) overdose [WebMD]. The oral version is available over the counter in tablets and syrup form. This drug works by releasing cysteine, which is an amino acid that contains a sulfur molecule. The sulfur is then used for glutathione formation by the liver.
Red Orange Complex. This is yet another trademarked supplement by an Italian company. Bridgeham claims that this supplement has been found to ‘raise glutathione levels by a staggering 68%.’ Again, he fails to provide any citation to authenticate this claim.
So far, things are looking quite good for GRS Ultra for the most part. But now I’ll tell you the reasons why you should avoid this product at all costs!
1. George Bridgeham is A Pseudonym and Unverifiable
In the Terms and Conditions page of GRS Ultra, you’ll find out that George Bridgeham is a pseudonym ‘for privacy purposes.’ This is a big problem because, to start with, we are dealing with a supplement that has a pharmaceutical drug in it (N-acetylcysteine) so we need to verify if the manufacturer is actually qualified in this field to use a mainstream drug in a supplement. And speaking of qualifications, the man calling himself George Bridgeham in the video never tells us who he is, his qualifications or his company. I’m pretty sure he’s a paid actor though.
Meanwhile, here are the two faces of George Bridgeham. Are they the same or different? Let me know in the comments section!
Speaking of the company…
2. GRS Ultra is Owned by A Shady Company
GRS Ultra is manufactured by a company called Clover7 Nutritionals Pte Ltd. Its address is 616 Corporate Way, Suite 2-4096
Valley Cottage, NY 10989. Using Google Maps reveals that this company is located in a shopping center … which makes me wonder how they manufacture the supplement.
Clover7 Nutritionals also has a website, which was created in February 2018 – 11 months AFTER the creation of GRS Ultra’s website. It only has 5 nothing articles designed towards promoting GRS Ultra, an About page that basically tells us nothing about the company, and a Contact page.
3. Terms And Conditions of GRS Ultra is Problematic and Ridiculous
To start with, Clover7 Nutritionals address is in New York, USA. But according to their Terms and Conditions, their ‘Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Singapore and any dispute shall be subject to binding arbitration in Singapore.’ What?
That’s not all.
Here is what they said concerning any dispute:
You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed.
In other words, you are not allowed to sue them and so by using their product, you agree to give up your right to sue. Ridiculous, isn’t it? Basically, this company is protecting itself from taking responsibility if anything goes wrong. This goes to show you the kind of scam we’re dealing with!
4. Negative Testimonials.
GRS Ultra doesn’t feature any testimonials on their website. But I found some reviews from people at Amazon and the positive reviews there are either sycophantic or from those who wanted to give it more time to work. But the negative reviews are more useful. Some complained that the pills ‘stink badly’ and some confirmed that it doesn’t work.
FYI: The probable reason the pills stink is because it contains a high amount of N-acetylcysteine, which has an unpleasant, repulsive smell [WebMD]
5. Fails To Warn You About Dangers of Supplementing Selenium and Sulfur
While heaping praise on selenium and sulfur, George Bridgeham failed to mention that supplementing selenium is not entirely safe. He omitted the crucial info that selenium overdosage can lead to increased risk for aggressive prostrate cancer, skin cancer and type 2 diabetes [WebMD]. Selenium also interferes with the function of other drugs, and its side effects range from bad breath to liver/kidney damage and to even death. Because of these risks, selenium supplementation is best done under the supervision of a doctor.
According to WebMD, ‘there isn’t enough reliable information available to know if taking sulfur by mouth as medicine is safe.’ Sulfur is best used externally.
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY GRS Ultra. It is A SCAM!
This scam uses Paypal for payment processing. So if you made the mistake of buying it, please ask for your refund by following Paypal’s instructions here. I recommend that you file a dispute instead of contacting the seller, as I’m sure that they will not honor their so-called ‘365 day moneyback guarantee.’
Please share this review to the relevant people you know so that they too will be warned. As usual, feel free to use the comments section if you have any contributions to make. Thank you!
OptiVisum eye drops is a strange scam you must avoid. In this short review you’ll find out all you need to know about this product and why you should stay away from it at all costs. So sit back, put on your glasses and let’s begin!
OptiVisum was created in May 2018. It claims to restore your vision ‘in 14 days’. According to their website, by the time you finish using OptiVisum, ‘you will no longer need glasses to see better near or far away’ and ‘you will be able to easily read the street name on the 30m distance.’
Now how does OptiVisum achieve this result? According to the anonymous creators of this product, OptiVisum works by eliminating ‘every symptom of eye diseases.’ Then, some lines later, we’re told that the product works by having ‘an effect’ on ‘the main causes of vision deterioration.’
OK. I won’t waste my precious time debunking this ridiculous claim. So let’s focus on finding out who we’re dealing with here. Who owns OptiVisum?
Now that’s a big problem.
1. The Creators of OptiVisum Are Unknown
After searching for days for information about the company behind OptiVisum, I’ve come up with nothing. This is because, to start with, they hid their website domain information from the public. They, however, gave us an address: 2029 Century Park East, Los Angeles, California, 90067. But then when you look up the address with Google Maps, you’ll discover that it’s the address of an office building with a FedEx shipping service. So we’re most likely given a postal address.
So what does this tell you? RED FLAG!
But it gets worse.
2. OptiVisum Isn’t Subject To U.S Law (But Has A U.S Address)
Despite the fact that OptiVisum claims to have a U.S address, the company doesn’t subject itself to U.S law. Instead, its Terms of Service states that their product is governed by ‘International and Philippine law.’ In fact, here is the section in question:
So now this begs the question. What is the Philippines address of this company? Why didn’t they post that address instead of the U.S address? Something is definitely fishy here, don’t you think?
3. Fake Testimonials With Stolen Photos
The testimonials featured in OptVisum are definitely fake, as they are done with stolen photos. Perhaps the funniest testimonial I’ve seen so far is that of the so-called ‘ophthalmologist of the highest qualification, 38 years of medical practice.’ I mean, look at the guy’s photo below and ask yourself: At what age did he get his medical license? 12?
As for the other testimonials:
‘Sarah Ferolino’ is just a photo stolen from an article in Rappler.com;
‘Dennis Mapolon’ is just a photo of a model, as you can clearly see on Inquirer.net;
‘Melinda Torres’ is clearly a stock photo stolen from Flickr.
So as you can see, you can’t trust these testimonials. But we’re not done yet. Speaking of testimonials:
If you really want to see real testimonials of OptiVisum, then you should head over to their Facebook page. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to read the negative comments because the scammers over there have hidden them all. Now why would they do that if they aren’t trying to hide this fact?
Meanwhile, I received feedback from a reader who had this to say about OptiVisum:
Hi there, Congratulations on your site. I came across it while searching for reviews for the over 40 ab solution and I found your scam warning very helpful. I am kicking myself for being scammed recently for a product called Optivisum that has been launched in Asia, purporting to help with vision problems. I found out about it on fb and thought i had little to lose by ordering a bottle. But the more I tried to find info about the more I realize it’s just snake oil. Expensive snake oil. a bottle lasts less than a week and the clear liquid smells like perfumed water. If you see this product being launched in the West, please do take a hammer to it!
Well I’m not waiting until they launch in the West before I send out the warning. Especially since they already have a U.S address!
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY OptiVisum. It is A SCAM!
As you may have noticed I didn’t bother addressing the supposed ingredients of OptiVisum. This is because they are indeed legit substances for eye health. But given the fact that we’re dealing with an incredibly shady, anonymous company, the odds of these ingredients not being in their product formula is incredibly high. I strongly believe that they just posted the ingredients there to enable them establish trust and move their product. I’ve seen this before. Remember my Outback Vision Protocol review?

Don’t bother trying Rapid Tone weight loss pill because it is a scam! In this review you’ll find out all you need to know about this product, and all the reasons why you should stay away from this product and warn others about it.
Rapid Tone Weight Loss Pill was launched in March 2018. It claims to aid in weight loss by:
Inhibiting fat formation
Reducing appetite
Improving your overall mood (by increasing the production of serotonin in your brain)
Enhancing fat oxidation and thermogenesis (aka burning calories)
Boosting fat burning effects of exercise
Rapid Tone claims to have ‘sparked a weight loss revolution’ by basically including such ingredients as green tea extract to their formula. The scammers also claim that their product is made in the USA ‘in an FDA registered and GMP certified facility.’ Well we’ll see about that.
Ingredients of Rapid Tone Weight Loss Pill
Rapid Tone weight loss pill has the following ingredients:
Green Tea Extract (main ingredient)
Psyllium Husk (a dietary fiber)
Garcinia Cambogia
Vitamin B12
Coleus Forskohlii
Ginseng
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (an omega-3 fatty acid)
These ingredients have been linked to weight loss because of their various positive effects on body metabolism. So their use in weight loss is not an issue.
However, experience has taught me that scammers love using these substances as a perfect cover to sell their fraudulent products. So these ingredients don’t convince me one bit. Here’s why.
1. The Manufacturer of Rapid Tone Weight Loss Pill is Unknown (Does NOT Exist)
There’s no information about the manufacturers of Rapid Tone weight loss pill. There’s no physical address, their website domain registration info is hidden … and we don’t even know the name of the company behind the product. The only thing we’re given is a phone number and email address.
This is a serious problem because should any problem arise, they will be no one to hold accountable. The company behind this product is basically anonymous. We’re essentially dealing with a ghost company who desperately want to hide their identity.
It gets worse from here.
2. Shady Terms and Conditions 1: You Can’t Sue Them
Rapid Tone Weight Loss Pill has one of the most contradictory and problematic Terms and Conditions I’ve seen so far. Given that many people don’t bother reading this page because of how long and boring it is, these scammers figured that they can lie to you on their website while hiding their true colors in this rarely visited page. Unfortunately for them, Contra Health Scam likes reading Terms and Conditions pages!
Take a look at the screenshot below.
So, in other words, you can’t bring a class action lawsuit against them, but you can try suing them individually or in a small claims court. Yet they are targeting people on a large scale. Hmm…
3. Shady Terms and Conditions 2: Lies About Moneyback Guarantee
On their website, we’re told that Rapid Weight Loss Pill has a risk free, 30-day moneyback guarantee. But their Terms and Conditions tells a different story.
Check out the screenshot below, taken from their Terms and Conditions page.
The funny part is that above this paragraph is a section addressing how to get your refund within 30 days of purchase. Talk about dishonesty and talking from both sides of the mouth!
4. Negative Testimonials.
Do a quick Google search, and you’ll be inundated with positive reviews and testimonials about Rapid Tone Weight Loss Pill. Even Amazon has a significant number of these positive reviews and at a point, I thought that maybe, they are genuine since most of them were verified purchases.
But being a meticulous person I am, I decided to look at their Facebook page … and the reviews there are bad. Really bad. Complaints range from shady billing, late delivery of purchased products (one reviewer reported receiving his order 20 days into the 30-day moneyback guarantee), the product not working and the sellers not issuing refunds.
So it’s safe to say that this product is no good. Stay away from it!
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY Rapid Tone Weight Loss Pill. It is A SCAM!
If you’ve made the mistake of buying this product, you can always file a credit card dispute with your bank to have the payment reversed. You can try calling up the number provided on the website but I’m pretty certain that they will not honor their own refund policy. So it’s best to work with your credit card company on this one.

Don’t waste your money trying Sugar Balance by ‘Dr David Pearson’ because it is a scam! This product is targeted at those with type 2 diabetes so if you’re in this group, pay attention to this review because it will save your time and money. So let’s begin, shall we?
The Sugar Balance website domain was created in December 2015, but the product itself was launched somewhere around October 2018. Its so-called creator Dr Pearson claims that he has discovered the ‘miracle ingredients’ that will treat ‘the root cause of blood sugar’. He goes on to claim that the cause of insulin resistance is NOT a problematic pancreas, but a ‘fatty liver’.
Pearson poses as a medical doctor gone rogue, who is apparently ‘biting the hands of those that fed him for over 30 years’ by bringing us this ‘miracle’ cure and revealing to us ‘the devastating and dangerous secrets the medical industry is terrified you’ll find out.’ He also claims that he’s going to show you how to restore your blood sugar to normal levels without having to make any lifestyle changes or taking insulin shots and other prescription meds.
Pearson claims that his Sugar Balance product is suitable for anyone with type 2 diabetes and it doesn’t matter how severe or complicated your condition is. Interesting.
Ingredients of Sugar Balance Diabetes Pill
The ingredients of Sugar Balance supposedly include:
Schizandra fruit extract
Licorice root extract
Astragalus root extract
Wild Yam root extract
Solomon’s seal extract
Mulberry leaf
Lycium Chinese fruit extract
Balloon Flower root extract
Pearson claims that each capsule of Sugar Balance contains 800mg of a combination of these ingredients. However, he did not even bother to show us the label containing information about these ingredients so that we can see for ourselves the amount of each ingredient used in the pill. Apparently he thinks that rattling off several ‘studies’ proving the benefits of these ingredients to those battling diabetes will substitute for the product composition facts. Wrong!
Alright. Let’s just cut to the chase. Why is Sugar Balance a scam?
1. Dr David Pearson is Unverifiable (Does NOT Exist)
Dr David Pearson describes himself as a 54-year old former epidemiologist with 27 years of experience who has researched ‘every diabetic condition under the sun.’ He also calls himself the ‘crooked medical industry’s enemy number 1’ because for the past two years he has supposedly stopped ‘sucking at the teat’ of the medical industry and now is exposing their diabolic schemes to pile you with dangerous drugs.
Well that’s strange, because if it were true, he should be in the news (after all, the media has become notorious recently for going after people and ruining their careers). At least, he should be turning some heads on social media or be active on at least one social media platform. But no, there is neither an official sign of Dr Pearson on social media, nor any mention of his medical activism in the news. Worse still, there is no way of knowing where he worked for 27 years as an epidemiologist so that at least we can confirm that he’s real. The photo passed off as him doesn’t look real to me … I think that it is a stock photo that is no longer available from its original source. I’m not sure about this though so take a look at the photo below and see whether you can trace where it was taken from. Either way, Dr Pearson is unverifiable.
2. Proven Health Does NOT Exist
If you watch the video presentation, you’ll notice that Dr Pearson also calls himself the ‘chief medical researcher’ of Proven Health, the company who supposedly owns and operates the facility where Sugar Balance is manufactured. I tried searching for information about this company … and all my efforts yielded nothing. No name, no address (he mentioned Sugar Balance is made in the USA though), no phone number. To make matters worse, the Terms and Conditions doesn’t even mention the company’s name. Instead, we’re told that Sugar Balance is owned by a company called Nature’s Formulas, which is based in Barbados.
Something is fishy here, don’t you think?
Speaking of the Terms and Conditions:
3. Sugar Balance is Made in USA, But It’s NOT Subject to U.S Law
Pearson claims in his video presentation that Sugar Balance is ‘made right here in the USA’ in an FDA-approved and GMP-certified facility. He also claims that his ‘award-winning customer support team’ is based in the USA. But if you look at the Terms and Conditions page, you’ll see that Sugar Balance doesn’t subject itself to U.S legal jurisdiction:
Really? And that’s not just the end of it. The Terms and Conditions also state that, by using Sugar Balance, you waive your legal right to bring a class action lawsuit against them. So, not only are we dealing with a company giving us false information about its identity and location, but you can’t even sue them if anything goes wrong and justice is needed to address the situation.
Goes to show you the kind of scam we’re dealing with, don’t you think?
4. Fake Testimonials With Stock Photos
The testimonials used in Sugar Balance are fake, as they are made with stock photos. For example,
‘Aaron Benson’ is a stock photo taken from Dreamstime.com;
‘Ray Claven’ is a stock photo you can buy from Shutterstock.com;
‘Claudia Price’ is a stock photo you can buy at iStock.com;
‘Tosin Ogunseye’ is a stock photo available for purchase at Shutterstock.
So as you can see, we just can’t trust Dr Pearson’s claim that Sugar Balance works because his testimonials are stock photos anyone can buy for decoration and illustration purposes.
5. Insane Scammy Advertising
If you’ve made this far in this review then you wouldn’t be surprised by this finding. But I decided to list it just to emphasize how scammy the presentation of Sugar Balance is. I mean, what’s up with the bashing of the medical and pharmaceutical industry, and what’s up with that countdown timer before the call-to-action button?
Frankly speaking, stay away from any product that bashes the medical and/or the pharmaceutical industry as part of their marketing strategy. Most of the time, they are scams … and one of the worst things you can do to yourself is to deal with hypocrites!
6. It’s Scientific Basis is Absurd
Like I mentioned earlier, Dr Pearson claims that fatty liver is the true, ‘number 1’ root cause of type 2 diabetes, not pancreas dysfunction. He goes on to claim that blood sugar level maintenance is the function of the liver, ‘specifically the fatty liver.’ He then finishes by saying that Sugar Balance works by specifically targeting the fat in the liver and eliminating it, which will then automagically reverse insulin resistance and consequently, reduce your blood sugar levels.
Pearson attempts to authenticate his claim by citing several studies and quoting researchers out of context but at this point, given the amount of scam evidence I’ve already uncovered about this product, I won’t bother myself looking into these studies to expose his lies. However, I will say that he’s laughably wrong by claiming that the ‘number 1’ cause of increased blood sugar in type 2 diabetes is a fatty liver. This is because he clearly doesn’t know that fatty liver is a consequence of insulin resistance, NOT the cause. Yes, morbid obesity is the primary cause of fatty liver and we already know that obesity leads to insulin resistance. But ask yourself: What about the patients who only gained weight because of type 2 diabetes? Was their insulin resistance caused by a fatty liver?
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY Sugar Balance. It is A SCAM!
Forget about that empty promise of Sugar Balance having a ’60 day money back guarantee’ because you’ll definitely not get your money back. It’s better to file a credit card dispute with your bank or contact Buygoods, the retailer, for your money back.
Please check my Whitelist for alternatives to Sugar Balance. They are all legit programs that will help you lower your sugar levels and reverse your insulin resistance problem. Unlike this scam, they all honor their moneyback guarantee so rest assured that you’ll get your money back if you find that their program isn’t suitable for you.

Don’t waste your time and money trying Myco Nuker, aka Organic Fungus Nuker by ‘Terry Williams’ for your fungal infection because it is a scam! This product is nothing more than the supplement version of colossal scam Japanese Toenail Fungus Code so don’t think for a second that you have stumbled upon a genuine solution to your fungus problem. In this review you are going to find out all you need about this product and why you should stay away from it.
I have been aware of Myco Nuker since 2017 when I reviewed Japanese Toenail Fungus Code. But I decided not to review it because not many people were visiting the product’s website and it was no different from Japanese Toenail Fungus Code anyway. But I promised to write a separate review for Myco Nuker if the need arises … which is now. This is because more people are now visiting Myco Nuker’s website more than Japanese Toenail Fungus Code and it’s more expensive compared to the latter.
Now because the backstory and presentation of Myco Nuker is basically the same as that of Japanese Toenail Fungus Code, this review will contain a significant amount of the same thing I wrote in the Japanese Toenail Fungus Code review, with the minor differences inserted where appropriate. Just giving you a heads up. So let’s begin, shall we?
What is Myco Nuker?
Myco Nuker was created in June 2017. It claims to have the ultimate solution to your fungus problem that the medical industry has been hiding from you in order to keep profiting off your ‘suffering.’
The backstory is essentially the same:
Terry Williams tells us a sad story about how his wife Caroline suffered from liver failure, vision loss, left leg gangrene ‘filled with pus’ and almost died … all because she had a toenail fungus infection and made the ‘big mistake’ of seeing a podiatrist. So what was the awful thing the podiatrist did to Caroline? He prescribed her ‘a death cocktail’ of Lamisil.
Now with Caroline languishing in hospital supposedly with no hope in sight, Terry says he returned home and ‘began researching every possible scrap of information on fungal infections, treatments, homemade cures and what not.’ His ‘research’ yielded two ‘truly disturbing’ findings:
Fungal spores are ‘everywhere’ and your air-conditioning unit is part of the reason why fungal spores are in your home
By eating carbs, we also feed the fungi in our system since they love eating sugar.
Armed with this ‘new found knowledge’, Terry contacts his Japanese childhood next-door neighbor Ayumi Hayashi. Terry claims he once saved Ayumi from ‘an abusive boyfriend’ and for this reason, Ayumi was ever ready and willing to help … which she did. Ayumi introduced him to one holistic medical practitioner called ‘Dr. Ishiguro’, who allegedly uses an ‘ancient Japanese secret’ to treat toenail fungus…
The backstory goes on and on but eventually, the ‘miracle’ Japanese ‘secret’ worked its wonders on his wife, and just 4 days after beginning treatment, she was able to walk, her eyesight returned to normal and all her fungus problems vanished.
Oh wait … I thought he said his wife had ‘gangrene filled with pus’ on her left leg. How come she was able to walk after just 4 days, especially since we know that gangrene always leads to amputation of the affected limb? It’s a miracle, folks!
Ingredients of Myco Nuker
Myco Nuker label
We’re told that Myco Nuker has the following ingredients:
Shiitake, Reishi and Maitake mushrooms
Matcha and Gyokuro Japanese green teas
Beta-glucan
Arabinogalactan (ARA-6)
Turmeric
Cat’s Claw and garlic
Red raspberry juice, Vitamin C and Vitamin E
Selenium, Graviola and Pine-bark extract
Quercetin, pomegranate and olive leave extracts
Of course don’t pay attention to this list. Beside the fact that most of these ingredients have little or no evidence backing their effectiveness in battling fungal infections, there is no guarantee that the scammers actually used any of these ingredients in their supplement. In fact, I have no doubt that they are just using these ingredients as a marketing ploy to dupe you into thinking that you’re buying a loaded, legit product. So don’t fall for it!
That said, why is Myco Nuker a scam?
1. Terry Williams Does NOT Exist!
Terry Williams claims to live in Oak Park, Illinois, with his wife Carolina and two children Mathew and Jessica. Well that’s a fat lie because the photo passed off as his actually belongs to a French model named Bill Smithy. In other words, Terry Williams is a stolen photo. Shocker.
So what this means is that we’re dealing with liars who know how to tell a long, boring story that is a lie. Moving on.
2. Fake Testimonials With Stock, Stolen Photos
The testimonials featured on Myco Nuker are untrustworthy because they are stock and stolen photos. Now back in 2017 I was able to trace the origins of the two photos passed off as ‘Matthew Palm’ and ‘Sue Holt’ but now it seems like they are no longer available anywhere else but at the Myco Nuker website. However, the photo passed off as that of ‘Dr. Adam Davis’ is actually a stock photo you can buy at iStock.com. So much for podiatrist endorsement!
Now add this finding to the fake testimonials over at Japanese Toenail Fungus Code and you have yourself a full-blown scam that doesn’t work!
Fun Fact: Over at Japanese Toenail Fungus Code, the man in the video posing as ‘Dr. Adam Davis’ is an actor hired from Fiverr.com … and he looks nothing like his stock photo counterpart. LOL!
3. Similar to Japanese Toenail Fungus Code
Okay so by now you know this already but I still need to include it anyway. There is no much difference between this product and Japanese Toenail Fungus Code other than the fact that they used different photos a testimonials, one is a supplement and the other an ebook.
4. Insane Scammy Advertising
The bulk of Organic Fungus Nuker’s presentation is dedicated to how horrible the medical and pharmaceutical industry is, and how they have conspired to kill you with their dangerous antifungal drugs. Take a look at these gems from the presentation:
The medical industry is making huge profits from your suffering, never giving you solutions that go to the root of the problem. Instead, selling you drugs that will be the source of your next problem.
…
These pharma companies are not going to like that I am spreading this information all over the internet. Due to the amount of money they will be losing when everyone wakes up and throws away their phony treatments.
Similar rhetoric like the above are scattered throughout the presentation, including the good, old, drug side effects scare (where thy constantly remind you that drugs prescribed by doctors have side effects and you’ll die if you continue taking them). Thankfully, there is no annoying pop-up window that springs up every few seconds to make you hurry up and claim a ‘discount’.
Well the rule of thumb is this: Whenever you see any health product using drug side effects scare as a marketing strategy as it is done at Myco Nuker, then know that we are most likely dealing with a scam. This is a classic tactic by scammers. I’ve seen it done many times and it’s not going away anytime soon because it works. No one wants to die, after all!
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY Myco Nuker. It is A SCAM!
At $69 a bottle (with $9.95 shipping), that’s a lot of money to waste on a colossal scam like Myco Nuker. Worse still, there is absolutely no guarantee they they will honor their 30-day moneyback guarantee. So it’s best you stay away from this product to begin with.
Alternative To Myco Nuker: Candida Crusher
If you insist on using natural ways to tackle your fungus infection issue, then I recommend Candida Crusherby Dr Eric Bakker. He is a naturopathic doctor with over 30 years of experience. Additionally, he specializes in treating fungal diseases and psoriasis, and owns a well-known naturopathic clinic in New Zealand. This program contains information on how to treat any type of fungal infection so don’t worry about it not having the info you need. And at just $47, it is far cheaper and more valuable than Myco Nuker. Get the program now or read my review for more details.
If this review has helped you, please don’t forget to share with the relevant people you know. Also feel free to use the comments section if you have any contributions to make. Thank you!
Kachin Diabetes Solution by ‘John Gootridge’ is a pathetic scam you should keep your distance from. This latest diabetes scam reminds me of the popular scam Vedda Blood Sugar Remedy and in this review, you’ll find out why I said this and why you should never spend your money on this product. So let’s begin, shall we?
Created in June 2018, Kachin Diabetes Solution claims to have the secret that can help you to ‘permanently’ reverse your type 2 diabetes ‘naturally’ in just 28 days. Gootridge claims that he has used this program to help ‘43,897’ people in ’46 countries’. According to him, these people have all ‘fixed their blood sugar levels, fixed their insulin sensitivity, boosted metabolism, dropped weight like they just got out a sauna, boosted their mind, body and energy levels all while eliminating all their diabetes-related diseases’ – all thanks to Kachin Diabetes Solution. He also claims that the ‘big pharma’ industry ‘crooks’ are not happy with his damaging success and so they ‘are doing everything in their power to take our system down.’
Now what is this ‘miracle’ solution in this program that is giving the ‘big pharma’ industry sleepless nights? Well Gootridge claims that it’s all hidden in the traditional diet recipes of the Kachin people in Myanmar. Now how did he discover this? The backstory is interesting so I’ve decided to retell it. So enjoy!
Backstory of Kachin Diabetes Solution
Gootridge begins by telling us that he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes out of the blue at the young age of 37. What followed afterwards was ‘years upon years of being fed pills and injections as my physical and mental health withered away. His doctor allegedly continued piling him with more prescriptions until his weight ballooned from 182 pounds to a ‘whooping’ 263 pounds, his blood sugar level and blood pressure ‘went through the roof,’ his heart started failing and he started experiencing pains suggestive of a neurological problem. Then, one day, he fainted and basically, almost died…
Oh, this is important. He fainted on his 43rd birthday. Oh poor Gootridge…
Anyway, after waking up in the ER and hearing doctors telling him to consider amputating his foot, Gootridge says that he then realized at that point that he was going to ‘make a change.’ Presumably with his hand across his chest, he vowed to defeat type 2 diabetes without drugs, which he accused of putting him into the horrible situation he found himself in.
Somehow, he suddenly found the strength to begin researching on ‘natural ways to lower blood sugar levels and cure diabetes.’ Hear him:
For months I searched the internet, read journals, visited libraries, spoke to researches, visited universities, doctors you name it! I even spoke to other diabetics and holistic doctors looking for some type of remedy or suggestion to help control my diabetes.
This effort yielded nothing, however, and he apparently gave up. Until on one fateful day while eating out with his brother at a Burmese restaurant in Chicago, he met a Burmese waiter named ‘Denpo’ who apparently hasn’t heard about diabetes. According to Gootridge, the waiter responded, ‘what is diabetes?’ when he asked for a diabetes-friendly meal. This response suddenly lit up a ‘lightbulb’ in Gootridge’s head and he had his ‘aha’ moment at that instant.
On further discussion with Denpo, Gootridge learnt that Myanmar has ‘one of the lowest diabetes rates in the world’ and that Denpo’s tribe, the Kachins, have ‘never had a reported diabetes case.’ On getting home and doing more research, he discovered that this tribe not only had no cases of diabetes, but also all had normal sugar levels and no obesity…
In the end, Denpo hands Gootridge ‘an ancient old cookbook’ of Kachin recipes. Gootridge gets introduced to ‘Nyan San’, Denpo’s high school friend and a ‘researcher’ at ‘Technological University in Myitkyina.’ This Nyan San then went to work in his lab to make recipes and ‘fitness plans’ using the ancient Kachin cookbook … and several ‘successful tests’ later, Kachin Diabetes Solution was born.
Whew.
I hope you enjoyed the story? Now let’s go to the reasons why Kachin Diabetes Solution is a scam, shall we?
1. John Gootridge is Unverifiable (Does NOT Exist)
John Gootridge calls himself a father of 3 and a ‘former diabetic’ from Springfield, Illinois. And that’s all we know about him. We have no information about his academic qualification so that we can understand how he was able to do the professional research needed for a ‘miracle’ cure to be discovered. We also don’t have any photo of him in the video, but in the text version of the page we are provided a photo of a man superimposed onto a Shutterstock stock photo background:
As far as I can tell, the man in the photo is most likely a paid actor ‘screenshoted’ out of another video. I’ve seen that done before, and I think I’ve seen his face in an older scam video.
Bottom line: John Gootridge is unverifiable. Red flag!
Now if John Gootridge’s identity is unverifiable, then the odds are that his buddies Denpo and Nyan San do not exist either. And speaking of Nyan San and his university…
2. ‘Nutritionist’ Nyan San’s University Only Offers Traditional Engineering Programs
As you read earlier in the backstory, Gootridge was trying to sell us this belief that Nyan San is a ‘certified nutritionist’ at Technological University in Myitkyina. On searching for information about this university, not only did I find out that it was only upgraded to a university in 2008, but it doesn’t even offer any program in the medical sciences. This now begs the question: What kind of ‘nutritionist’ is Nyan San? A medical researcher that works in an engineering-focused university?
To make matters even worse, this university doesn’t even have a biological or biochemical department, and all the degrees awarded are purely engineering bachelor degrees. It also doesn’t help that the university doesn’t have an official website. The best English source of information about this university is a short, very badly written Wikipedia article.
If this doesn’t make you scratch your head in confusion, I wonder what will.
3. Unverifiable, Untrustworthy Testimonial Video, Fake Testimonials with Stock Photos
Kachin Diabetes Solution only features a video testimonial of a woman testifying to the effectiveness of this program in the fight against type 2 diabetes. Now even though the video looks genuine and not professionally produced, I still find it very hard to believe that it is a legit program. As far as I’m concerned, she too is a paid actor hired to read a script. I see that all the time in scammy programs like this. So take whatever she’s saying with a pinch of salt.
However, when you click on the Buy button to purchase the program, you’re met with more testimonials with photos. Well guess what? They are fake, made with stolen photos!
‘Quincy James’ is yet another Unsplash stock photo;
‘Ricky Dentrone’ is yet another stock photo from Unsplash;
‘Lisa Sommers’ is a stock photo from … you guessed it, Unsplash.
4. Its Flawed Scientific Basis is Copied From Another Scam Vedda Blood Sugar Remedy
On reading the supposed scientific basis of Kachin Diabetes Solution, it didn’t take me long to realize that it was copied from an earlier, now defunct diabetes scam known as Vedda Blood Sugar Remedy. It is very easy to establish the connection:
Both programs claim that their respective remote tribes (Veddas and Kachins) have never had, and will never have diabetes, thanks to their ‘ancient’ diet recipes.
Speaking of recipes, both programs made the same claims about coconut oil and spices.
In my Vedda Blood Sugar Remedy review, I proved how wrong the scammer was about the Vedda people and coconut oil. So by copying the Vedda scam, the scammer behind Kachin Diabetes Solution has proven that he too doesn’t know anything about type 2 diabetes. In fact, the Kachin scammer didn’t even bother to authenticate his claims with citations of medical research papers or even news articles. I searched and searched for such papers or news articles and I found none. That explains it.
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY Kachin Diabetes Solution. It is A SCAM!
Unfortunately you are going to have a hard time getting a refund if you ask for one, because there is no guarantee that these scemmers will ever honor their 60-day moneyback guarantee. The best thing to do is to file a card dispute with your bank if they fail to honor your request for a refund.

If I were you, I would keep my distance from the newest keto supplement in town weirdly branded KetoWeightLoss.com. As at the time of writing this review, the owners of this supplement are aggressively running multiple, expensive Facebook ads to push their supplement … and they are basically targeting everybody, no matter which country you’re in. So pay attention to this important review because it is one of, or if not the first honest review about this product currently existing at this time. So let’s begin, shall we?
KetoWeightLoss.com is a brand new keto supplement that was launched in February 2019. It claims to be the supplement that will help you ‘maintain ketosis’, ‘burn fat fast’ and ‘increase energy’. According to the information on their website, KetoWeightLoss.com’s ‘premium‐grade, natural extracts facilitate healthy rapid fat loss, elevate physical performance, contribute to greater mental clarity, improve mood by boosting feel‐good hormones, reduce stress by suppressing stress hormones like cortisol, and promote general well‐being and optimal health.’ In fact, they even claim that their supplement ‘puts your body into Ketosis quickly and easily.’
Now that’s a problematic claim I’ll address later but first, let’s talk more about this supplement.
What KetoWeightLoss.com can Supposedly Do For You
Here is the list of what KetoWeightLoss.com supplement can supposedly do for you:
Fat Block & Burner
Appetite Control
Metabolism Boost
Detox Naturally & Safely
Revitalize Energy & Mood
The owners further claim that their suplement has already helped ‘over 185,000 happy customers’ lose weight. According to them, Keto Weight Loss’ ‘unique formula’ is ‘100% organic’, ‘vegetarian’, ‘gluten-free’, ‘GMO free’, ‘soy free’ and ‘dairy free.’ It is also supposedly suitable for everyone, whether you are a normal, everyday person or an athlete.
Ingredients of Keto Weight Loss
On their website, we are told that Keto Weight Loss is a system that ‘that merges the synergistic power of 3 natural, plant‐based supplements. ‘ But then they never tell us the names of these 3, natural, plant-based supplements. Instead, in the ingredients section of the website, we are told that Keto Weight Loss contains Beta-Hydroxybutyric acid (BHB), which is the main ketone byproduct of fat metabolism that the body uses for energy. Just as I talked about in my HVMN Ketone review, BHB is naturally produced by the body when it is in the state of ketosis (burning fat for energy). But Keto Weight Loss claims that, by using their supplement, you can bypass this natural step and still reap the benefits. Interesting. Let’s talk more about it below.
How Keto Weight Loss Works
Like I mentioned earlier, Keto Weight Loss works by flooding your body with the three unknown ‘natural, plant-based supplements’ and BHB. Doing this, according to the supplement manufacturers, will put your body in a state of ketosis ‘quickly and easily.’
How to Use KetoWeightLoss.com Supplement
The manufacturer recommends that you take two capsules in a warm cup of lemon water every morning … and then ‘lose weight as easy as 1-2-3!’
As for which diet to follow while using Keto Weight Loss, the manufacturer basically says that it doesn’t really matter, as using their supplement will ‘quickly and easily’ put you in a state of ketosis anyway. However, we’re later told that combining the supplement with a ketogenic diet plan will give you the best results.
Pricing of Keto Weight Loss (Spoiler: Very Dishonest)
One bottle of Keto Weight Loss, the equivalent of a one-month supply, costs $49.95. Other plans include a 3-month supply (‘Buy two, get one free’ LOL) that will cost you $75 total even though a bottle in that plan costs $25. So much for the ‘free’ bottle bonus.
The same funny pricing tactic is seen in their most expensive (and default) pricing plan: A 5-month supply (‘Buy three, get 2 free’ LOL) that will cost you a total of $98 even though a bottle at that plan costs just $19.60.
For those of you who do not understand what’s going on, here is the simple explanation. The Keto Weight Loss owners are trying to give you the impression that you are getting a sweet deal (free bottles + discount) if you purchase their more expensive plans while actually, you are paying for the whole thing. For example, the price of one bottle in the 3 month plan costs $25. From the screenshot above, you can see that you’ll be paying for two bottles and getting one free. This means that you should be paying $50 instead of the $75 listed. See? You are paying for the ‘free’ bottle!
OK so let’s assume that the $75 is just stating the value of the package after the discount but actually, you’ll indeed be paying $50. But the problem is that you’ll never know until you first fill in your credit card information (and possibly get charged immediately). So ask yourself this question. What is stopping them from straight up stating that you’ll be paying $50 before we enter our card info? Why create this unnecessary confusion around their pricing?
Anyway, Keto Weight Loss comes with a 90-day money back guarantee. So if you are not satisfied with the product, you can ask for your money back by calling them on one of their listed phone numbers. In my experience though, don’t keep your hopes up that they’ll indeed honor their refund policy.
Keto Weight Loss and Charity ‘Vitamin Angels’: Don’t Fall For It!
Keto Weight Loss claims that each order you place on their website will make them donate a 6-month supply of ‘essential vitamins’ to ‘a child with malnutrition’ using a charity called ‘Vitamin Angels.’ Well judging from their dishonest pricing plan above, I don’t have any reason to believe that they will ever fulfill this promise. As far as I’m concerned, this is another marketing tactic designed to tug at your emotions and make you believe that you’ll be lending a helping hand to suffering children. This is all designed to make it easier for you to part with your money!
So my advice is this. If you want to help these malnourished kids with vitamins, don’t do it through buying Keto Weight Loss. Instead, go directly to Vitamin Angels’ website and donate there.
If you think that I’m done talking about the issues and red flags concerning this product, think again. This is just the beginning. Here are more reasons why you should avoid Keto Weight Loss:
1. KetoWeightLoss.com is Owned by A Shady Company
At the ‘About Us’ section about the website, here’s all we are told about the company behind Keto Weight Loss:
We are Keto.
It’s as Simple as that! We wanted to find a simple solution to help reach Ketosis and we found a simple way to do so! Whatever your lifestyle may be, KETO can easily be a part of it.
We believe in healthy living, including a balanced diet and an active lifestyle. Whether your new to the Ketogenic diet or not, our team is here to help you reach your goals!
That’s literally it. No information about their CEO or qualifications of the people they employed to manufacture this product. In fact, they weren’t even bold enough to display their company name on the main page, instead, they hid it in their Terms and Conditions page. And of course, they hid their website domain information from the public so we cannot know who registered it.
Anyway, according to their Terms and Conditions page, Keto Weight Loss is owned by KWL Wellness Inc., a company based in Canada, US and India. My investigation revealed that this company is actually registered in Canada. But if you look at the website, you’ll notice that the India presence of this company is not disclosed on the main page, but hidden away in the Terms and Conditions page. Now why is that? Something is fishy here, don’t you think?
Speaking about the legal pages:
2. The Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy are Problematic
Looking at the legal pages of Keto Weight Loss, I couldn’t help but notice several problems. For example, in the Privacy policy page, we are told that the governing law under which the company is subject to is ‘the laws of the country of Weight Loss Keto Weight Loss State.’ No, I’m not kidding. Check out the screenshot below.
From Privacy policy page
Over at the the Terms and Conditions page, we are told that their return shipping address is in one village in India. Again, not kidding. Here is a screenshot.
Wait a minute. Didn’t they tell us that Keto Weight Loss is ‘made in the USA’? How come that if you want to get your money back, you have to send back your product to them in India and not USA?
Again, the Terms and Conditions also state that by buying their product, you ‘waive’ your right to file a class action lawsuit or bring any case against them before a grand jury.
And finally, we’re told that the ‘minimum’ advertised price set by the KWL Inc for their product is $54.95. But if look at the pricing screenshot I took above, you’ll see that this isn’t true. Yet another example of inconsistency and/or dishonesty with pricing. Personally, I will never do business with any company with this kind of pricing inconsistencies!
3. The Manufacturer of Keto Weight Loss Knows Nothing About Ketosis
Like I mentioned earlier, the company behind Keto Weight Loss says that taking their supplement alone is enough to put your body into ‘ketosis.’ According to them, their product works regardless of the diet you’re currently on. Basically, you can eat all the carbs you want and as far as you’re popping two capsules of Keto Weight Loss every morning with lemon water, you’ll ‘quickly and easily’ enter the state of ketosis.
Well if that’s the case, then this company has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that they know absolutely nothing about how ketosis is achieved. It is the same mistake keto supplement sellers like this make all the time – they claim that all you need to do to achieve ketosis is to take their supplement and when your blood or urine ketone level rises, then you’re officially in ketosis. This is outright false … and you should avoid any keto supplement that makes this claim at all costs!
For the umpteenth time, ketosis only occurs when your body is deprived of glucose and its reserve (glycogen). At this state, the body enters starvation mode, resorting to burning fat and protein instead for energy. This state can only be achieved through diet, nothing else!
4. Untrustworthy Testimonials. Angry Customers
The website of Keto Weight Loss features three faceless testimonials that we obviously can’t trust. However, things get interesting when you visit the supplement’s Facebook page. There you’ll see that people are not happy with the product. I spent hours searching through the thousands of comments left on the page, and I couldn’t see a single positive testimonial.
One thing that also caught my attention is that the page admins of Keto Weight Loss disabled the review feature Facebook now has for pages. This means that people won’t be able to leave reviews of the product. I believe that this was done on purpose because the Keto Weight Loss guys can’t afford to have bad reviews on their own page since they know for a fact that reviews left on Facebook pages can’t be deleted by the admins. If they are really confident about their product, then why didn’t they leave the review section active?
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY KetoWeightLoss.com Supplement. SCAM WARNING!
If you have made the mistake of buying this product, the best thing to do is to file a credit card dispute with your bank. I don’t see them honoring their refund guarantee. But hey, you are welcome to try asking them directly for your money back.
Alternatives To KetoWeightLoss.com Supplement
The Ketogenic Diet is legit but it is also an advanced, complicated way of eating that requires expert supervision. Due to its quick weight loss results (consisting mainly of water weight due to lack of carbs), it has become the latest trending diet fad and many unscrupulous elements are now trying to cash in on unsuspecting people by using keto to brand their scam. For this reason, I have not recommended any keto program yet on Contra Health Scam. That may change in future, but for now, here are three weight loss programs that are easier and more pleasant to use than the Ketogenic diet that you can try instead of KetoWeightLoss.com:
This is a program by well-known nutritionist and fitness expert Brad Pilon. He designed this program specifically for women whose metabolism and/or body function has been wrecked by the harsh regimen of keto. It is also suitable for any female seeking to lose weight. Pilon assures that with this program, you will lose weight seamlessly and pleasantly without having to experience the side effects that normally accompany keto. Get the program now or read my review for more details.
This is another weight loss program by Brad Pilon. It is a very famous program that has stood the test of time. Eat Stop Eat is all about how to lose weight and gain muscle by doing the correct form of intermittent fasting. One thing I like about this program is that there is no diet restrictions. You get to eat whatever you want on non-fasting days. Get the program now or read my review for more details.
This program by certified nutritionist Janet Hadvill is designed for men and women over 40 who are struggling with losing belly (stress) fat. This program is all about simple dieting and exercise is NOT required. Get the program now or read my review for more details.
Now unlike KetoWeightLoss.com supplement, these programs are cheaper and proven to work. On top of that, they will honor your refund request. That’s a guarantee. So don’t be afraid of trying them.
They are not the only weight loss options though. Check out my Whitelist for even more legit weight loss programs.

Don’t waste your money buying Keto Pure Diet because it is a scam! This product is nothing more than another version of established scam Keto Ultra Diet (PureFit Keto) which I exposed here in a review last year. But since this latest keto scam is using a different approach to market itself I’ve decided to dedicate a separate review to it. So sit back, grab your reading glasses (if you use one) and let’s begin!
Keto Pure Diet was created in January 2019. Like many other keto diet pill scams before it, Keto Pure Diet claims to make it possible for you to achieve ketosis quickly without doing all the diet work required for it. According to them, Keto Pure Diet will help you ‘lose weight fast without diet or exercise.’ They go on to say that taking Keto Pure Diet will ‘trigger fat-burning ketosis’ which, in turn, will result in weight loss.
How Keto Pure Diet Works
It’s the same old, boring story. Keto Pure Diet supposedly works by supplying your body with Beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB), which is the main ketone produced by the body from fat metabolism for energy. The scammers behind this product claim that flooding your body with this ketone automatically puts your body into ketosis.
To further convince you that their product works, the Keto scammers hilariously attempt to appeal to authority by claiming that a scientific study has confirmed the efficacy of Keto Pure Diet:
LOL these guys are amateurs…
Oh, and by the way, they didn’t even bother to give us a link to the study they are citing. Didn’t expect anything less from them anyway.
Let’s now talk about the reasons why Keto Pure Diet is a scam.
1. The Creators and Company Behind It Do NOT Exist
On looking at the website of Keto Pure Diet, you’ll realize that there is no information about the company or people behind it. There is not even an ‘About Us’ page. All you’ll find is a Contact page that has only one phone number.
Now if that’s not enough to trigger your scam warning alarm, don’t worry. What I’m going to show you next will definitely convince you.
Take a look at the screenshot below.
If you are one of the unlucky few who encountered this fake Fox News page in a Facebook ad and believed what you were told inside, then sorry to break it to you: You were scammed! This is an old-school scam page and tactic often used to market fake weight loss pills. I’m still shocked that this tactic is still being effectively used to scam people.
Anyway, inside this page we’re told the story of two sisters ‘Ana and Samantha Martin’ who supposedly won a Shark Tank competition for discovering ‘the greatest step forward in weight-loss history’. According to the story, Ana and Samantha rebranded their ‘award-winning’ product to Keto Pure Diet (and Keto XS) and ever since, their product has helped countless people lose weight.
The page is complete with a fake Facebook comments section and stolen photo testimonials. Please note that I took this screenshot from the Keto XS version because the Keto Pure Diet version of the fake Fox News page has been taken down.
Well fact is, Keto Pure Diet never appeared on Shark Tank. Fox News never reported on this product, and these ‘sisters’ do NOT exist. End of story.
2. Fake Testimonials With Stolen Photos
All the testimonials used in the Keto Pure Diet website are fake because they are all stolen photos. For example,
‘Ashley R.’ is the stolen photo of a woman named Katie. She reportedly lost weight using Turbo Fire, according to the guys at Team Ripped. Also note the date the post was published: October 29, 2015 – 4 years BEFORE Keto Pure Diet was launched.
‘Isabella N.’ is just another random stolen photo testimonial used to market several keto scams.
So as you can see, fake testimonials. Not good!
3. Similar To Other Keto Scams PureFit Keto, Keto Ultra Diet
Looking at the website of Keto Pure Diet and Keto XS, I couldn’t help but notice that it’s the same as an older scam I reviewed last December called PureFit Keto (Keto Ultra Diet). Before I wrote this review, Keto Pure Diet and PureFit Keto were sharing the same bottle design and even the same website. But now some radical changes have been made to make both products look different after Keto Ultra Diet, the older version of PureFit Keto, was taken down shortly after my review was published. However they forgot to change their favicons (the image present on the tab of your browser when you open the page) … which are still the same:
Both also make the same claims about ketosis and BHB.
From what I’m seeing here, it looks like we’re dealing with the same scam product being sold under different names. I’m not shocked, believe me.
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY Keto Pure Diet. It is A SCAM!
Good luck trying for a refund by calling these scammers’ supplied phone number. You’re better off filing a credit card dispute with your bank.
Important Note: There are several versions of these websites online, but they have the same info in them. The idea is that, in case a particular version of the sites get exposed as scams, they get taken down but other versions replace them. I’ve already seen that done with Keto Ultra Diet, which was taken down and replaced with PureFit Keto. Click here to see the version reviewed here.
Alternatives To Keto Pure Diet
Happily, there are other better, cheaper alternatives to this Keto scam that you can try instead:

Panalean weight loss supplement by ‘George Bridgeham’ is a scam you should avoid. Now on the outside, it looks like a legitimate product, with all the scientific studies and figures used to make the product look well-researched and authentic. But by the time you finish reading this review, you will realize that all that stuff is nothing but a clever way to trick you into thinking that you’ve stumbled upon a legit product. Also, don’t forget that this is the same guy behind known scam GRS Ultra so regular Contra Health Scam readers already know what to expect. So without wasting any more time, let’s dive in, shall we?
Panalean’s website domain was created in September 2017. It claims to have the secret that will allow you to ‘eat all you want and still lose weight.’ Bridgeham claims that this secret is hidden in just two indigenous Chinese herbs ‘Astragalus and Ginseng’. He goes on to claim that these herbs will trigger the ‘master energy switch’ of your body which, in turn, will enable you to ‘incinerate fat just like a skinny person does.’ Now what is this ‘master energy switch’? We’ll discuss that in the next section.
How Panalean Works
To cut things short, Panalean claims to work by activating AMPK (Adenosine monophosphate kinase, aka ‘the master energy switch), and by helping your body get rid of ‘free radicals the body can’t take care of on its own.’ Bridgeham goes on to lecture us on the weight loss benefits of activating AMPK and how it is ‘one of the most powerful molecules in your body’:
It turns on your body’s metabolism. Or turns it off.
It turns on fat-burning. And turns off the building of fat cells.
It turns on glucose absorption in your cells. And turns off resistance to insulin.12
It turns on construction of your cells’ powerhouses – mitochondria.13 And turns off inflammation.
When you activate this enzyme…every cell in your body shifts into a fuel-burning, high-powered, active state.
Sure, sure.
So how does Panalean plan on helping us activate AMPK and remove stubborn free radicals? It’s all in the ingredients, duh!
Ingredients of Panalean
Panalean has two main ingredients. They are:
1. InnoSlim
This in an ingredient made by California-based firm Nuliv Science. It consists of two Chinese herbs Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus. According to the manufacturer, studies they conducted on InnoSlim have shown that the ingredient:
increases adiponectin in normal cells by 103% and insulin-resistant cells by 248%
increases AMPK expression levels in muscles by 52% and fat cells by 300%
increases glucose absorption in muscles by 50%
increases glucose absorption in fat cells by 68% and fatty acid breakdown by 100%
They also claim that InnoSlim has also been found to reduce inflammation and increase insulin sensitivity. However, none of these claims have been corroborated by third-party researchers.
Panalean’s main message is based on these claims about InnoSlim. So we can safely assume that InnoSlim is Panalean’s main ingredient.
Fiit-NS
This is yet another trademarked ingredient, this time by French company Fytexia. It consists of a cocktail of of black carrot, guarana (source of caffeine), green tea, grape, and grapefruit. It also fortified with niacin (Vitamin B3)
According to Fytexia’s website, Fiit-NS is a powerful ‘antioxidant’ that can help slow down the body’s aging process. It also claims that scientific studies have shown that their ingredient increases energy by 339%, well-being by 432% and quality of life by 350% when compared with placebo. Of course, there is no corroborative study from third-party researchers.
Panalean claims that Fiit-NS will get rid of the stubborn free radicals that your body can’t remove by itself. Then they further claim that it also boosts the effectiveness of InnoSlim…and that it also leads to weight loss. I’ll talk more about this last claim later on in the review.
How much does it cost?
A bottle of Panalean costs $59.95. There are also two more plans: a 3-bottle plan ($149.95) and 6-bottle plan ($249.95). All these plans come with free shipping.
Panalean claims to have a 1-year money-back guarantee. So should you decide the product isn’t for you, all you have to do is to ‘send back your empty bottles’ and you’ll be ‘immediately’ refunded. But how can you send back these bottles? Well according to their Terms and Conditions, you need to contact them by creating a support ticket. There’s no information about their return shipping address. Red flag!
Now to the interesting part. Why is Panalean a scam?
1. George Bridgeham Does NOT Exist
George Bridgeham claims that he’s a ‘professional health researcher’. But according to Panalean’s own Terms and Conditions, George Bridgeham is actually a pseudonym:
This is problematic on so many levels. For starters, I haven’t heard of any professional health researcher who is afraid of putting his real name on his own research work. Secondly, it is dangerous to consume a supplement manufactured by someone hiding behind a pseudonym, because should anything go wrong, he’ll just disappear into thin air and you’ll need his real name to track him down or at least, a real photo of him (which we don’t have).
If you noticed, I said that George Bridgeham does NOT exist despite the admission that it’s a pseudonym. You’ll see why later on so on to the next reason.
2. Panalean is Owned by A Shady Company
We are told that Panalean is manufactured by a company named Biogenic Wellness Pte Ltd., located at 616 Corporate Way, Suite
2-4284 Valley Cottage, NY 10989. This is the very same address of Clover7 Nutritionals Pte Ltd, the shady company behind colossal scam GRS Ultra. Also, George Bridgeham is also the owner of GRS Ultra. Do you see what’s going on here?
Just like Clover7 Nutritionals, the website of Biogenic Wellness only has 5 nothing articles written for the sole purpose of promoting Panalean.
3. Its Terms and Conditions are Problematic
Again, just like GRS Ultra, the Terms and Conditions of Panalean are problematic. This is because they both share the same Terms and Conditions word for word – except for the necessary name-swapping.
In my GRS Ultra review, I pointed out that the country under whose law Panalean is subjecting itself to is the law of Singapore, with is problematic when you consider the fact that the company that owns the supplement claims to be located in the USA. Again, according to their terms, you waive your right to sue them if you decide to buy their product.
4. Lies About the Weight Loss Effects of Fiit-NS
As we already talked about above, the original manufacturer of the ingredient Fiit-NS claims that the ingredient has been found to increase energy, well-being and quality of life by removing free radicals. But according to Panalean, Fiit-NS has also been found to cause weight loss. ‘In just 12 weeks, people who took it lost 3 times as much weight as people who didn’t use it,’ claims Panalean. ‘Better yet, much of this weight loss was in the belly!’
Well this is a blatant lie because at the Fiit-NS website it is clearly written that the ingredient allegedly caused improved energy, well-being and quality of life in 12 weeks. Nowhere on their website did they say anything about Fiit-NS causing weight loss.
To further prove my point, Panalean added a citation number to the above-quoted claim, apparently to make the reader think that the claim is backed up by research. But on scrolling down to the references section, you’ll realize that that citation is blank. There’s no actual citation to back up that claim because there isn’t any!
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY Panalean Supplement. It is A SCAM!
This is another weight loss program by Brad Pilon. It is a very famous program that has stood the test of time. Eat Stop Eat is all about how to lose weight and gain muscle by doing the correct form of intermittent fasting. One thing I like about this program is that there is no diet restrictions. You get to eat whatever you want on non-fasting days. Get the program now (also available in paperback at Amazon) or read my review for more details.
This program by certified nutritionist Janet Hadvill is designed for men and women over 40 who are struggling with losing belly (stress) fat. This program is all about simple dieting and exercise is NOT required. Get the program now or read my review for more details.
Also, you check out my Whitelist for more weight loss programs if the ones listed above don’t suit your preferences and/or condition. Don’t worry, they have all been scrutinized by me and will honor their money back guarantee should you decide to ask for a refund.

Don’t even contemplate on buying Ear Clear Plus by ‘Gregory Peterson’ because it is a scam! This product is nothing but the resurrection of an old tinnitus scam called Quiet Mind Plus so don’t even think that you have stumbled upon a tinnitus ‘breakthrough’ that will clear the ringing in your ears. So sit back, relax and happy reading!
Ear Clear Plus, aka Quiet Mind Plus 2.0, was (re)launched in October 2018. It claims to reverse your tinnitus in less than 3 weeks using ‘natural’ ingredients and some B vitamins. It’s the same old story. Big Pharma, in cahoots with doctors, have conspired to not tell you the truth about the real cause of tinnitus because they want to keep making you spend money on their endless tests and drugs. But now through Peterson, with the help of rogue, ‘Einstein IQ’ match scientist ‘Dr Parker’, we now have Ear Clear Plus to the rescue.
Backstory of Ear Clear Plus
The backstory of Ear Clear Plus is no different from that of Quiet Mind Plus. There were just minor changes to the story:
In Quiet Mind Plus, ‘Greg Peters’ tried to kill himself and almost killed his wife on his birthday in front of his family. In Ear Clear Plus however, Peterson did try to kill himself, but this time around it wasn’t on his birthday.
In Quiet Mind Plus, the scientist that eventually responded to Peters’ research calls was one ‘Dr David Campbell.’ But in Ear Clear Plus, it was one ‘Dr Parker.’
I won’t retell the backstory since I’ve already done that in my Quiet Mind Plus review. So you can head over to that review if you want to read it.
Ingredients of Ear Clear Plus
We are told that this supplement consists of the following ingredients:
Hibiscus
Hawthorn berries
Olive leaves
Niacin
Garlic
Buchu leaves
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B6
Green tea
Juniper berries
Uva Ursi
Vitamin C
Well I’m not going to waste my time talking about the ingredients because, given the type of scam we’re dealing with, there is absolutely no guarantee that this product actually contains all these ingredients. To make matters worse, there is no documentation provided on their website that shows the composition of these substances and which one is the active ingredient.
How Much Does it Cost?
One bottle of Ear Clear Plus costs $69. Apart from that, there are two other plans:
A 3-bottle plan at $59 each and
A 6-bottle plan at $49 per bottle.
This product supposedly comes with a ‘180 day moneyback guarantee’ but don’t keep your hopes up that they will honor their refund policy. The best thing for you to do if you made the mistake of buying this product is to file a card dispute with your bank.
Alright. Now let’s go straight to the reasons why Ear Clear Plus is a scam, shall we?
As you can see, this is the very same photo used in Quiet Mind Plus as that of the ‘author’ Gregory Peters. Also notice that it’s literally the same name?
Now that we have established this fact, rest assured that Alliance Health Inc., the supposed company behind this supplement, does NOT exist either. Yes I checked. The company has no physical address or even a phone number.
2. Similar to Other Known Scams
Now even though it’s pretty clear that Ear Clear Plus is nothing more than the resurrection of Quiet Mind Plus, it is also important to note that Quiet Mind Plus is in itself a clone of the following toenail fungus scams:
The first two scams, just like Quiet Mind Plus, met their demise shortly after Contra Health Scam’s devastating reviews went up. But now Quiet Mind Plus has reincarnated itself as Ear Clear Plus and Contra Health Scam will gladly send it back to its grave!
3. Fake Testimonials with Stock Photos
When you click to buy Ear Clear Plus, you’ll be shown three testimonials with three, very bad quality photos. But all of them are random free stock photos!
The use of these stock photos as testimonials is actually an ‘upgrade’ because in Quiet Mind Plus, Facebook default avatars were used instead. So at least it counts for something, doesn’t it?
4. Repeats The Same Falsehood From Older Scam Quiet Mind Plus
Like I’ve already mentioned, Ear Clear Plus is nothing more that the resurrection of defunct scam Quiet Mind Plus. This also means that this product copied the same falsehood about the cause of tinnitus word-for-word from Quiet Mind Plus.
I’ve already explained this flawed scientific basis in full detail in my Quiet Mind Plus review so I’m not going to repeat myself. So head over to that review if you’re interested.
Final Conclusion: DON’T BUY Ear Clear Plus. It is A SCAM!
So as you can see, this review is pretty short. This is because there is nothing about it that I haven’t said already in a previous review. The bottom line is, Ear Clear Plus is the reincarnation of a dead scam called Quiet Mind Plus. So the best thing for you to do is to keep your distance from it!
Also, please note that, at this time, there is no permanent cure for tinnitus. The causes of tinnitus are many…and you need to consult a doctor as he is the most qualified to identify the specific cause of your condition and manage it effectively.
