Consumer Alert: Hoodia Gordonii weight loss pills scam exposed by independent investigationhttp://www.newstarget.com/006016.html Print Link RelatedPage 1 | next page ->Posted Mar 26, 2005 PT by the Health Ranger (Mike Adams) Truth Publishing can now reveal the details of an exhaustive investigation into what may be the largest Hoodia Gordonii supplement scam operating in North America: the Pure Hoodia, Inc. company. (This article has recently been updated with even more evidence, see below for details.) In this exclusive Truth Publishing report, you'll learn how: Pure Hoodia, Inc. is selling counterfeit hoodia as verified by independent lab testing (actual documents revealed below). Pure Hoodia, Inc. is failing to fill their capsules with the promised quantity of powder. Our tests on a digital scale showed that capsules from the PureHoodia.com company contained only 290mg of powder, not 400mg. (Actual digital scale results and photos shown below.) Pure Hoodia, Inc. has sought to steal intellectual property from a competing hoodia company by attempting to preemptively register / steal its trademark and product name. (Documents shown below.) Pure Hoodia, Inc. has stolen Truth Publishing content, modified the text, and posted a distorted version on their own website in an attempt to mislead readers into believing that Newstarget.com solely and exclusively recommends their product, which is absolutely not the case. Pure Hoodia, Inc. operates out of a Nevada corporation set up and run by individuals who operate hundreds of small Nevada corporations, most likely for lawsuit protection reasons. Pure Hoodia, Inc. operates several companies and brands of Hoodia, including the Hoodonii and Slimtron product lines, which are advertised and promoted as separate companies, but are actually owned and controlled by the same people. Pure Hoodia, Inc. operates a series of fake "consumer comparison" websites that deceive consumers into purchasing their "top-rated" products, which are always products owned or controlled by the Pure Hoodia, Inc. operators. Revealing the scam...This story begins in mid-2004, when hoodia was appearing on the scene as an appetite suppressant. At that time, Truth Publishing purchased several hoodia products, conducted interviews, and began listing hoodia suppliers known to offer honest products. At the time, we were convinced this included Pure Hoodia, Inc. To further verify this, Truth Publishing attempted to locate laboratories in the U.S. that could conduct specimen authentication testing, but no such labs could be found (we called dozens). As the popularity of hoodia skyrocketed since mid-2004, the bulk materials hoodia suppliers in South Africa were getting squeezed. Demand was skyrocketing, but the supply of hoodia couldn't be ramped up overnight. In fact, the hoodia gordonii plant requires 5 - 7 years to reach maturity, so there was a sudden shortage of raw material. continues on page 2 ->Beat the bird flu virus with FREE report: download Beat the Bird Flu Virus and Survive the Pandemic Related articles and resources: Diet Pill Supplement Scam: Two-Thirds of Hoodia Gordonii Pills Sold In the United States Are CounterfeitHoodia gordonii is no miracle weight loss pill, health investigation revealsIndependent investigation reveals trusted sources for buying hoodia gordonii pills for weight lossHoodia Gordonii emerges as natural appetite suppressant with weight loss potentialHoodia gordonii helps for weight loss, but isn't a miracle solutionConsumer alert: con artists sell counterfeit hoodia gordonii as bogus weight loss pillsIntellectual Property Gone CrazyYoga intellectual property war over the ownership of yoga posesNote: the above resources are 100% non-paid.
