Posted By: dale In Response To: Not a review but a question of my site (Richard Fentiman)
Sunday, 13 November 2005, at 5:24 p.m.
on your website...I am sorry that you had a heart attack and I wish you the best health, but as one in the medical profession, I can not sit idly by and not comment on the content and claims on your site...
As an aging person, it sickens me to see so many of my fellow baby-boomers willing to believe anything and everything when it comes to "alternative" medicine...
Are we so desperate to live forever?? But I digress...
I have taken quotes directly from your site and have posted my comments below each statement...
Lastly, I would ask what your qualifications are that enable you to give medical advice on the internet???
Dale
Secret cures and legendary solutions to total, natural health and longevity
Secret cures and legendary solutions???Legendary???If they are so legendary, why haven’t more people heard of them?
We are offering you an opportunity where you can purchase one product at a bulk rate that has been used actively since before World War One to help folks with heart problems. It has several very interesting side benefits..Like a better mental attitude—
Oh, yes, let’s throw out all the knowledge that we have gained in the past 100 years and go back to something that was used before World War One!
One product that works almost instantly to open your arteries
“Almost instantly”- exactly how long is “almost instantly”? And how do you know if you’re arteries have opened? Do you go to the doctor for an ateriogram and then ask him for a follow up???
Look there are "things" that mainstream medicine and the big pharmaceutical companies hope you never hear about
Oh, yeah, the favorite whipping horse of the lay person…those big, bad evil people at the pharmaceutical companies and those mainstream medical types– of course we should forget the millions that they spend on research, development and clinical trials, right? They shouldn’t be able to recoup that cost, right?
I have added all of this so you can begin to figure out that most heart doctors believe that they know what is better for you than you do.
Gee, maybe they are just trying to offer you their best advice, based on years of schooling, training, journals, research???
I for one am not real happy with most heart doctors because their goal in life is to put me on Satin drugs forevermore.
Their goal in life is to put you on statin drugs???Their GOAL??? How bout maybe they are trying to help you the best way that they know how???
People who follow the standard medical advice generally find that their heart disease gets worse
Where are these people???Are you going to have stats from surveys in your e-zine that will back this claim up?
Perhaps you are\were like me?? Never been ill or sick or other wise indsposed with anything more than the flue or a cold.
So you want us to believe that you had no risk factors? Or was it the fact that those evil, drug pushing md’s forgot to tell you about the snake oil that would have prevented that attack in the first place!
150 yrs ago --heart disease almost non-existent in our society
Gee, could that be because a lot of people didn’t live long enough to have heart disease???? People were dying from all kinds of contagious diseases, many didn’t survive past childhood – a great example of twisting a possible truth to suit your needs
naturally occuring vitamin B4--one of the few substances on the face of the planet that does so. This product is also used to improve the sexual drive in individuals yet it works hard to remove extra fat out of our body... The List just goes on and on.
Oh, yes, Sex Sells so let’s make sure that we mention the sexual benefits! And a fat reducer to boot! Lord have mercy! Where can I get this stuff??? And the list goes “on and on”…I’ll bet it does!
Richard, you seem like a genuinely nice guy that really wants to help people...unfortunately, I feel that your efforts are misguided and I will have to count you as just another plyer of snake oil!
P.S. Don't forget to add the FDA disclaimer on your site like all the others...you know, the one that says, "these statements are not meant as medical advice, these products make no claims regarding curing or treating any disease, etc., but you should buy them anyway...after all, what do those FDA ninny's know??

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
