Another post said it best when it called these people snake oil salesman and asked where the Federal Trade Commision is when you need them. All I can say is, it's on the way, my man..it's on the way. Cortislim is about to go down big for fraud. Cortislim is marketed by Window Rock Inc. The president is a guy by the name of Stephen Cheng, whom I did meet a number of years ago. Once I heard Stephen's name attached to Cortislim, I knew the product was bogus. Before there was Napster and file-sharing, there was CD bootlegging, which still exists on a much smaller scale than it used to. At it's peak, in the mid nineties, the Cheng brothers,(Stephen and Thomas)were making money hand over fist importing recorded concerts that had been pressed onto CD and selling them through trader magazines like Goldmine and through their store in Orlando, Fl. This sounds all fine and good, except there were breaking almost every copyright law known to the government, as well as a number of customs laws. When they finally got busted, Stephen Cheng did about nine months for his bit, although he was sentenced to 15 months. Just though it might be of some interest to anybody who is actually still considering buying some of these sugar pills that it was developed by a guy that has lied about his professional credentials and the main guy in charge of sales is a convicted felon. If you need to lose weight, there's only one thing that'll work and that's diet and excercise. There might be pills out there that will psyche you up for your work outs, which in turn will make your workouts more intense and burn a few more calories, but in the end, it's the excerise that does it, not the pills....nobody loses weight while watching TV and eating as much pizza as they want....Have a nice day and take care. 172153@blogcritics.org Sat, 25 Jun 2005 01:17:59 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/03/08/155706.php#comment-170070 The FTC & the FDA have been decorticated for years. Most of the persons therein seem to spend the bulk of their time doing nothing to earn their salaries, just putting in time until they can reach retirement; the few times either one has moved to restrict a product or vendor, however lame, the lobbyists have screamed so loudly the agencies have backed off at the speed of light, assisted by the authority of our good representatives on Capitol Hill who are heavily under obligation to these same lobbyists and industries, don't forget. These agencies exist so the government can claim they are actually making efforts to safeguard US citizens from such con artists, but it is the government itself that has emasculated them and rendered them ineffective if not absolutely negligible. 170070@blogcritics.org Tue, 21 Jun 2005 11:20:18 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/03/08/155706.php#comment-170046 I am so tired of being deluged by SNAKE OIL SALESMEN in every form of media.

All he was was a psychological assistant" which he is now required by the California board of psychology, to announce in his ads. Now what kind of a "doctor" works as a psychological "assistant" and not as a psychologist? Something mighty fishy here 160944@blogcritics.org Wed, 1 Jun 2005 11:53:40 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/03/08/155706.php#comment-126532 Sounds wise to me! Eat less, eat better, exercise more. DUH! 126532@blogcritics.org Tue, 8 Mar 2005 21:05:34 EST
