All products sold on infomercials are a scam. I can’t understand how people can fall so easily for them. The cost of the product is ALWAYS less than 2 x “S&H”. This way they make sure that even if you return the product, they’re still making some money. Don’t call. It’s that simple.

I ordered it and have been using it for 2 weeks, then suddenly my lower right abdomen began to hurt, especially after I ate. I googled about side effects. Im off of it now and feel so much better. Be careful. A week seemed fine. I actually thought it worked. Beyond a week is just too much.

I just recieved this product in the mail with a bill for $59.90 and I have no idea how it got ordered. There must be some kind of convoluted way they have of charging people for ordering it that is buried somewhere in an online order form. I’m going to track down where and how it was ordered and blow the whistle on them.

I know there is only 30 days to return the product and luckily I am within that limit. I also found another online site that has an entry stating a person received it without ordering it and couldn’t get their money back. Here’s the link:

I sincerely hope you were being sarcastic in your remarks Martha. Kevin T. should be considered a fraud because most of the stuff in his books is widely available for free elsewhere, not nearly as easy as he claims, or maybe you should also consider the fact that he has a criminal record, involving of all things… fraud.

RE: Half-hour infomercials in general…….

Every time you view an infomercial for anything, no matter how tempting the offer or straightforward the pitch, the FIRST thing you should do is go on the internet, type in the name of their product or website, then put the words “don’t buy” in front of that, or the word “scam” or “rip off” behind that.
That will usually get you past the first two or three pages of phony websites, constructed to blindside you with glowing comments and testimonials. You will then get to pages like this one, and get a real eyeful of what that $50K production is all about, and eventually learn what virtually all half-hour infomercials are all about.
Their objective is remarkably simple. They want nothing more nor less than to pry your credit card number away of you, in return for as shoddy little as they can get away with. This gives them license to get into your pocket and steal as much as they can, as fast as they can – before you are put through some very frustrating and time-consuming steps to cut them off.
And you should also know that, as things stand now, you have almost no hope of recovering what they’ve already taken.

Video professor is another shipping scam. He says its “free” but charges up to 5 times the what the actual shipping cost really is. You can send a disk by media mail for almost nothing, but this scam artist charges #6.95. And blank recordable disks are only a few pennys, do the math.

Colon clense is a scam for the weak minded. Ask a REAL doctor and they will tell you the inside of your colon looks like the inside of your mouth, pink fleshy tissue. No **** stuck to the walls. Dont be so easily fooled.

Bob, your a moron, an idiot, and a jerk. You are part of the problem. “Its okay that they rip me off cause I rip them off” is insane. You should seek medical help. I cant believe how stupid you are, and how willing you are to display your stupidity.

I used this product several years ago after being tired of being tired and overweight. The product worked wonders just using the two bottles in the package. They do suggest other products to take with it if you want to maximize results, but there is no need. My system became regular, I felt awesomely energized, and of course lost weight after my system started working like it should with the help of this product and I only purchased one time. As far as Kevin Trudeau, I am thankful we have such a caring human being advocating for us consumers. Why is someone who puts himself in the line of fire with all kinds of organizations in opening our eyes to hidden information be considered a fraud? You should be thankful, unless, of course, you are part of what he exposes.
