Do you really need Cortislim? - Page 3


Results not typical. Your results may vary. Results dependent on diet and exercise.

There are some very interesting changes from the testimonial that appeared last year and this one that is currently on the site. I wonder what prompted the Cortislim people to make these changes, perhaps prying eyes at some governmental agency?

First and foremost look at the disclaimer in bold print – this time I didn’t have to highlight this –and notice the phrase “results DEPENDENT on diet and exercise.”

DEPENDENT = contingent on something else.

So right here folks the makers of Cortislim are telling you that not only is Richard’s “success” not typical, but this alleged “success” wouldn’t have occurred at all if it weren’t for Dick’s newfound portion control and his Sears-bought elliptical contraption.

And when you go back and read this guy’s “success” story a couple of things jump out. First there’s the ham-handed attempt at being clever/sneaky by use of the phrase “the Cortislim approach.” Not just “Cortislim,” but “the Cortislim approach,” since the Cortislim folks can’t tell you that Cortislim is responsible for weight loss and stress reduction.

And really, how dumb are people that they fall for this? I'm sorry for being blunt here, but come on people!

Richard never mentions how much weight that he has lost, doesn’t have any “before” pictures to show any indication of his weight loss and we have to take him at his word that he would have never fit into his racing suit before Cortislim. Oy vey, again…

So no matter how many little Cortislim pills that you take and no matter how much Vitamin C, Calcium, Chromium, Magnolia Bark extract, Green Tea Leaf extract and Banaba Leaf extract you ingest, YOU WON’T LOSE WEIGHT UNLESS YOU EAT LESS AND EXERCISE!

And for your review, here's a list of what's in Cortislim;

    Also "Dr" Greg was never a real psychologist. 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

    I am so tired of being deluged by SNAKE OIL SALESMEN in every form of media. How many repetitions of a lie make it the truth? Enough, already!!! Dr. Greg is a boob who only the naive could believe. I look forward to the day I don't hear him on the radio, see him on the TV, or read him in print. Where is the Federal Trade Commission when we need them??? Can you say CEASE AND DESIST?

    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.

    Personally, I have never tried Cortislim or heard of Dr. Greg until a few days ago. 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.
