I listened to a very long infomercial presentation where they promised a FREE book many times - maybe 50 times or so. Then at the end they said I would have to subscribe to a newsletter with an automatic annual renew so its the worst situation. It struck me as a bait and switch. My feeling is if they resort to such misrepresentations during the infomercial, then I suspect the book is full of them as well so I would advise caution. Maybe the book has good remedies but maybe people get better thru the action of the placebo effect. . They mention some studies, but without knowing the cite, its hard to determine if they are accurately representing the study conclusions. I also am uneasy about them saying that the medical community only wants to sell drugs and that that Rothfeld is the only one who can help cure people.. it just seems to be too self serving.
I am reminded of the saying that if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. I hope this helps.
I read this all. I'm surprised that so many were negative but not when one realizes that people would rather boo and hiss than appreciate concepts. One-the book is worth having for people who want to learnn and then research even more through the internet(google or WEB-MD) for a start. Two- To have it free is to join for ANY dollar amount and then cancel. Three- Of course this is advertising. Selling at a profit is the World's way-or you die of hunger. If you have a job you're selling yourself-at any level. Four-If the receipt is worth the fee-do it. All of you who believe that $37 or $19 is a lot , rethink. I was charged $3.25 for a glass of iced tea at lunch ( a teabag,water, placed in the refrigerator). All the information received is hundreds if not thousands of hours of input.Five-go to a Dr's office and see what 3 minutes of his/her time is charged out at. Do you earn $500 to $1000 per hour? And you think this is costly? Learn ONE good thing and this can be a blessing.
This commenter speaks the truth!
I am a heating & air cond mechanic what if all the heating & air cond business would start charging the same rate per minute that the doctors & mark up the parts that we use 3-4 times as they do their killing pills.if u take those pills they soon kill u. without heat & air how long would they be in business?
When you ordered iced tea, you don't authorize them to do automatic glass refills and charge you again and again, and you don't have to phone in to a help desk to have your extra iced tea ordering cancelled.
If you place your payment on a National credit card and have trouble canceling the subscription you can call the Card company and stop all payments to the Offending Dr.ofice. Cancel the card and getting a new card number for it is a positive way to stop the subscription I do not believe you
do not charge me i do not want this subscription
I'm having a second thought of canceling the subscription I just did today. It seems too much for me to deal with my poor vision.
Please cancel my subscription and please do not bill my credit card.
Thank you.

I clicked on this because of the shampoo statement that it causes alzheimers.
Never got that answered after listening for too long.
Anyone know?
I listened too but nothing about the shampoo.
Lintended until it got to the "sales" agenda to order the monthly subscription and get the book cured "free". No mention of the original "hook"about which shampoos cause Alzheimer's not even a mention that the info was in the book! Just another marketing sham as far as I am concerned.
I also watched the whole video for it seemed like hours!!!! Wanted to know about the 4 shampoos. Not aa word was mentioned! Another scam site. So many these days, Don't watch many anymore, as 2 of my friends with stage 4 cancers were trying to heal themselves naturally with all sorts of naturual cures they bought on the internet. It's only when they had to be hospitalized because they were desperately ill, and got surgery, chemo, and radiation, that they got better.I was so happy that they got terrific treatment and now 4 yeats later for one friend and two years later for the other they might make the 5 year mark. I am not a big fan of big Pharma, but I do think when it comes to cancer, you can't waste too much time on alternative medicine. Don't be scammed into buying expensive potions, pills, and vitamins,books or newsletter subscriptions from these money grabbing website companies, You are being taken for an expensive ride. Been there and got the tee shirt. Sicerely M. Beirne.
Comment above
I am going to get the "free" book and pay for the subscription to get it... There's a satisfaction guarantee on the subscription, so what's the risk? The book deals with I think 81 "cures", dementia being just one, but also contains remedies for cancer and other autoimmune diseases. I have studied the cancer issue for years because of multiple friends getting the cancer diagnosis, and I have suggested they consider a different route than the standard surgery/radiation/chemotherapy route. So far, all have opted for standard. Far be it from me to judge - if it were me, THEN I would know what I would do. For now, it is just my opinion. However, with standard treatment for four of my friends, one died, one found their quality of life radically diminished and 3 years later now is dealing with a return of the cancer and more treatment (lung), one after 2 years is still under the specter of death and still undergoing treatment (brain and then prostate), and the other (breast lump) seems to have recovered fully after 1 year. But the survivors all "live" under the 5 year "it will come back" expectation. Of course it tends to come back! That's what expectation does, plus the CAUSE of the cancer was never addressed so it continues working in the body. Five years! What a terrible way to live! One of those friends of mine also has a spouse diagnosed with dementia and standard treatment says there is no cure, but I heard (google search) of a study at UCLA where 9 out of 10 participants had a reversal of dementia symptoms to varying degree through application of diet, exercise, and other non-standard methods. Reversal!! So, reversal and even cure is out there for dementia, and so, yes, I am getting the book to glean what I can, and if I am not satisfied, I will return the subscription if not satisfied. Also, the book comes recommended to me from a source I respect in the Alternative Medicine field, so it sounds like I will likely get my $37 worth (as a senior). Good luck!
How can anyone fall for this bullshit. Don't be a fool and waste your money. The email does not exist.
l listened to the end – I have a high tolerance for bullshit and good sales resistance – and the word "shampoo" was NEVER used again in this merciless pitch!
Yes, I'm afraid I fell hook, line and sinker. I might have subscribed IF they had answered the shampoo question, but this omission raised the red flag for me.
I could not find the answer and gave up. This is a red flag. I am finding most of these ads are just scams to sell their products or to sell you a newsletter. I am disappointed with these folks who claim to
t be someone they are clearly NOT!
Head and Shoulders, Pantene, Clairol and Suave.
It is all a joke they just taking money
Where can I get the vitamin G? Anybody know? montana1@freemail.hu
Vitamin G is also named Vitamin B2 or Riboflavin. Should be easier to find rather then Vitamin G.
IS THIS TRUE HOW DO YOU KNOW AND WHAT ARE THOSE SHAMPOOS
You don’t
I think that the "G" stands for gullible!
G is the same as vitamin B2 also known as Riboflavin.
Get it at the drugstore; no prescription needed.
Unknown publisher. That means it is self-published. The book is priced here on Amazon for $155+, but you can get it free if you subscribe to his newsletter $74 a year ($37 for seniors). He has plenty of fans who review the book & his newsletter, but who they are and whether they are paid???? I just listened for 15+ minutes to one long winded sales pitch which kept promising to tell you something (every been trapped by a time-share salesman) only to find out you had to buy a subscription. I also did a search to see if any reputable expert has recommended this book. I found a dozen promoters, but no credible reviewers. Check out the You Tube review by someone who would have you believe he is doing an independent review--it is pure promotion. I did NOT find an article about Rothfeld or his book on Wikipedia. I'm sure Rothfeld is a genuine good guy, but this approach to sharing natural methods to good health smacks of snake oil sales. Freedom speech and free enterprise forever, but let the buyer beware.
Down to earth and forthright . Thanks !
I agree with your comments Mr.M Kuhn. The all sales pitch is exaxtly it. Full of holes and no supporting data by any reliable source.
After listening to a 30+ promotional email video ad of the book CURED, which is supposidley not available anywhere except through this offer.....30 minutes later leads you to a promotion of his newsletter 1 year $74 or $37 for seniors, the 500 book is complimentary. I accepted that offer and then they wanted to offer me an upgrade to "lifetime subscription" and would immediately cancel first subscription for one year, if I would accept. I declined the upgrade. I received an email that unsubscribed me. I couldn't go to somewhere to correct anything, no provision for that. Continued on....found the process cumbersome, lengthy, no recipe promised given in the video as it said in the beginning. Misleading.....would actually like to read the book. Untrustworthy from my experience so far......caution and complaint.
how dare they give such false hope to people who have such serious illness..having cancer myself im constantly looking for things to "cure" or help or shrink...i dont have the money to waste on bullshit..shame on this doctor who claims to cure such terminal illness...hes making money off of peoples hopes and dreams of being "cured"
Yes beware, the pitch is so long and as the previous comment say, you oly get free after signing up for subscripton to their newsletter. Don't be stung, delete as I have done!!
I saw book under $40 on EBay
Please try Sour Sop also known as Graviola in addition to your doctor's advice. My associate had stage 4 plus colorectal cancer and along with her regular treatment, she used the Graviolla and is now thankfully cancer free! It was very cheap and u can probably get 4 bottles for the cost of their senior price of $37.00!
Dr Rothfeld's phone number please?Send to England 01652 654226, Pamela Jacklin
It's 443-353-4204.
All I want is to know the recipe to cure alzhemers which it promises to give you, and the lady waffles on about loads of things unrelated and it NEVER gives you the recipe. All these videos are just advertising and put people off, if they really wanted to help people why not just give the recipe?
It would appear that ol' "Rothy" has an intense desire to leave his heirs a huge fortune ..... & guess who gets to pay for all of that ?!
Sounds like that's true, I listened to the video, that claimed to give you a free book, well not so, took forever to finish the video
At 20 minutes it says they will tell you have to apply for the free book in 3 minutes them bumble on for 9 more minutes. Smoke and mirrors and very disrespectful marketing. Out right lying is not a good practice to help earn your future customers trust!
I agree to much waffle
OMG it goes on and on and then on and on to other things unrelated to the orig. subject. I stopped.
of course how do we know it isn't the bug pharma telling us all this stuff so we really do not find out there is a cure. Wow which way to go. Eat healthy, use Chia seeds, but it is a bad rap when you do get older and gain weight by eating less.
Why doesnt anyone care that theres been a cancer cure for 40 years, but the FDA wont release it because they are making too much money?? BILLIONS A YEAR? Why do you think the GOVT shut this man down? Because he was causing waves fore them. He knows theres a cure for cancer. Im SENIOR AND THAT INFO IS only $3.00 a month.. Two cups of coffee.. AND if i find that things in the book/ newsletter is helpful, i can cancel at anytime. I know that there HAS been a cure for cancer for 40 yrs. Do you know why your DR. cant tell you about the cure? HE WILL LOSE HIS LICENSE..
Testimonials from unknowns might as well be made up because untraceable. Lengthy ramblings not related DIRECTLY to lead in hooks smack of mental entrainment common to sales. Not encouraging. If you posit then back it up, do not keep us hanging while mesmerizing without direct backup of original hook. It only justified continued cynicism. Disclaimer of materials from other providers as not approved by Dr. Rothfeld gives one pause as to legitimacy. If you cannot vouch for it, why is it next to your name?

Mike hit the nail on the head! And for Ms. Powder Puff, or whatever it is you are going by, you are obviously not all there and should not have sole control over any credit card!
It would appear that America has finally been blessed with the genius of yet another 'Magic Potion Barker'. The unfortunate consequence of such a ruse is the effect it will have on the family members who so desperately wish for a cure for their loved ones. How do we expose these charlatans without government intervention and liberal democrats, in particular..?
You're gullible to fall for this scam. Or were you paid for this review?
There is a "cure" for cancer Google Dr Truitt He has been helping cancer patients for decades.
every one that's in business that serves big pharma charge them about 10 times the price for your service. also start charging the doctors the same rate per minute that they charge u my doctor charges me $120.00 for about 4 minute's plus $20.00 co pay I am a heating an air cond mechanic at $120.00 for 4-5 minute's of my time they would soon drop their prices but u cant get anyone now days to stick to gather just like the Goverment they suppose to work for us but took over and now we work for them. every one is scared to stick to gather. .
I must say that I find the formula for all of these things terminally tiresome. I can't bear the long wait while they plod through all the problems, all the good things the good doctor is doing, all the "they're going to shut this site down' stuff or "doctors won't tell the truth to you because they'll lose their licence or be assassinated" stuff. If they would reduce the splab to four minutes and get to the point, I'd be prepared to listen; but the sight of those guys setting up for the long haul of blabbing condescendingly on and on and on, is enough to make me switch off immediately. I think they realise this because they now produce a printed version quite quickly, though it's only marginally less painful.
For goodness sake, get a short, clean, sales pitch and dump this endless condescending blabber! Ain't nobody got time for that!
And, PLEASE just say upfront: We ONLY send this shit to people in the USA. Not Canada or South Africa or anywhere else, though we'll take your money and send the online "newsletter" to spam you. I've paid for a book in South Africa and never seen it, though I think I got the crappy newsletter.
I don't like the bait and switch tactics either, but Yes, the oil works, so does the Coconut oil from which it is the active ingredient. Ionized water helps your brain also there are many things out there.
PS. what you DON'T want is sugar. Remember Ronald Reagan's love of sweet jellybeans? There are natural sweet alternatives.
The FDA has controlled the medical profession and medical schools for Years.. I have had retired DR.s tell me the continuing education course that is required are conducted by the Pharma industries. The medical schools do not teach Nutrition and I was told by a dr. that they had one hour class per week on it once and it was Monday Morning when most students skipped it . A biochemist knows more than any Medical; dr. about the Nutritional needs of the body
after reading the "come-on" of a cocktail for dementia, I started the video long enough to delete it to get the printed version, and of course, it's another scam to get us to buy something totally worthless and a big-time RIP-OFF! I really appreciate all these postings which just confirm what I knew before I even started the video. To all who see this video, DO NOT fall for this scam!!!!!!! Find a reputable naturopathetic dr. near where you live, or google to get much of the information free. Oh, and they never do give the cocktail recipe for dementia that was their tag for getting the reader to watch the ridiculous video in the 1st place.
In this age of bumpf and fortune-seeking emailers, I have developed a simple trick for survival: If the presentation of this new 'marvel' takes the form of a long-drawn presentation that keeps telling you about something marvellous, but not yet, I'll tell you in a minute. I turn it off immediately. These peddlers are generally selfish, greedy, deceitful louts who think you owe them all the time in the world to let them spiel on about - basically - nothing or something they want to sell you at a oh, wait for it, a once off discount price. And then, if at the end of it (if you stay that long) they want to sell you a book with many secrets within, unsubscribe immediately from whomsoever you got started with in the first place.Sometimes you try to search what they are about on the internet to find other people's opinions. There are dangers there too. You'll find many links to many sites that will speak about the miraculous nature of the product/book. Don't pay them any heed, they are mostly fake recommendations put up by the very scammers or their associates. Caveat emptor.
Ditto here. If there is prolonged rambling, it sounds like a marketing scam, which usually is. If there is really such a cure, it would have been publicized and not kept a secret. This type of scam feeds on humans being hopeful and their hopes of being gullible.
I agree. Don't be ripped off and don't waste your time listening to such a long rambling waiting for the recipe which never came!!!Big con.
Lion mane mushroom - google it....that is the recipe
It's a scam. Call the Attorney Generals office this person needs to be locked up
Agree!
Second that
have you gone to purchase a car with a 5x5 warranty you ask the salesman what is the 5x5 warranty, he tells you it is 5 years or 5 yards whichever comes first.
from what I have read about Dr Glenn S Rothfeld books that I have recently purchased I may have just purchased a car with the 5 x 5 warranty
Thus far, all of the one star reviews are not helpful BECAUSE they fall into the latter of two categories: 1. Those that ACTUALLY got the product and can tell us what they ACTUALLY think of what it ACTUALLY contains ... or 2. those that, simply, did not like the marketing pitch and judged it all a scam, without knowing what it contained. I did not like the standard scam-like pitch, either BUT I know the difference between an informed opinion and an UN-inforrmed one.
I would prefer buy the book for a sensible cover price. Then if I liked the book I would subscribe to the newsletter for more good stuff. if I found it good. The problem is that this way around milks the customer of cash.. You pay for the subscription then forget to cancel it or have to go through plenty of hard work to cancel and get a refund. Maybe if you forget, you also get stung for the auto-renew.. Perhaps yo think its not worth the bother of canceling. What it boils down to is that a marketing operation ensures they first get your money.. then you have to decided whether what they promise is worth it. if not YOU have to do the work to get your money back. That is the hard commercial times we live in.. very few operations provide genuine generosity and in some ways who can blame them for being commercial and not a charity. The annoying part is that modern 'marketing' is no longer about offering a genuine solution to a customer problem: It is about meeting sales targets by getting 'punters' to part with more of their money than they really need to part with, while still just about staying on the legal side of telling actual lies.
I agree I just ordered the package for $37.00 US and hope I don't get dinged any more. I just want the book after listening to an hour video. My wife and I am almost 80 and thought it might be worth it, I neglect buying a lot of things and for the very same reason stop because the after purchase pitches to get you to purchase more. Hope I am not tricked into paying more, do not have extra cash at our age. Always have problems in finding a way to cancel your purchase and refund if you decide to. Hoping I enjoy the book and not regret my decision. md
They will put you on auto-renewal. The information that is provided in the subscription is not worth the cost of the subscription. It is all information that you can find out elsewhere. I am on the phone right now trying to get through to cancel the subscription because they charged my visa.
Contact your Visa Card source and ask them to reverse this charge and cancel all future billings . I then request a new card number to ensure I can not recieve another charge. Works for me. Usually very easy and fast service. Good Luck
I've done that, too! It works for me, too.
The book is available on ebay for $37.
how about the book he has that names of all the doctors that are on the take of thousand of dollars from big pharma to push all of their pills that will kill u it names all the names & the address of the doctors that's on the take I want to get that book to see if my doctor is on the list.
Fake company
You, negative people, are the fakes pretending to be real. What big Pharma do you all work for?
"I would prefer buy the book for a sensible cover price. Then if I liked the book I would subscribe to the newsletter for more good stuff. if I found it good
The problem is that this way around milks the customer of cash.."
TRAVIS! ... The book is $155+ on Amazon. The yearly cost + free book is $74 or $37. If I didn't like the free deal, I could get my card company to, at least, process a call back against one or two months of subscription ( the amount of time it would take to read the book and two months of newsletter) On the other hand, if I just bought the book, I would have less time to read it and process a refund if I did not like the book OR risk smoking $155 +. In case # one, I would not have to bother mailing the book back
I understand people are concerned about being scammed. I also
understand the points that were repeatedly made, hopefully by
multiple real people.
I hope these negative reviews were not all concocted.
At any rate, I have researched Dr Rothfeld, his clinic in Waltham
MA, and his newsletter.
The older issues in the archives were written by a
Dr. Wright, who was an MD who pioneered starting in about 1973 researching nutrition and more natural approaches to illness and prevention by visiting the library in Seattle. He graduated from Harvard with his BA and graduated from medical school at, I think
if I recall, U of Michigan. In 1975 opened his own clinic in Tacoma WA.
So if you were to pay for a membership to the journal of Dr
Feldman, at some point (I think around 2007 but I'd have to
check again to be certain) the author is now this Dr Wright
instead. I don't know whether Dr. Feldman purchased the website and
company that Dr Wright originally founded, but it looks
legit As far as I know, this is a legit company.
I joined as a senior for a six month and paid 19.00. They sent
me the book in the mail, which I have yet to read but it
looks interesting. As a member I also have access to all the archives so today I started to look through them. They are interesting.
I'm not sure whether they are worth 19.00 for six months,
at this point, and if you are not a senior, that would be expensive.
I think you could find much of the info for free online by searching.
But I think Dr Feldman is legitmite, as was Dr Wright,
and I do recommend searching the alternative health field
even though it's annoying in that there are people out there
who only want money or promise miracle cures.
Actually Dr Feldman is the one who authored a breakthrough course at Tufts Medical School on Alternative Medicine. So he knows
something about it.
The field of medicine is very complex and there are minefields
on both sides, both alternative and traditional.
The point here, is that the method or info ad that the company
is choosing to use with the very long message is probably
up to debate. Whether you want to spend that much money
for only a newsletter is up to debate, especially now with so much
free info on the internet. Also the co puts you on auto renewal
which I object to. Make sure if you pay, you call them immediately and ask them to take you OFF the auto renewal.
This is a real company, real doctors, not all bad but their method
of advertising and the auto renewal feature are not good ethics
in my opinion. Not saying they are doing anything wrong or illegal, but not the highest and best to put people on auto renewal if they
don't cancel and charge this much for a monthly journal....however
the info itself and the people seem to be legit.
So who is DR. Feldman ?
Maybe meant Dr. Rothfeld?
rambling. The points could have been made clearer and shorter.
Yes, you are right. Check out who you are dealing with. I was doubting HSI but now beginning to turn in their favour again as I feel Rothfeld and Stengler have much to offer.
The lengthy "private videos" are ad nauseam that say "...we'll tell you more in just a few minutes." An hour later...they still yak on.
I'm ready to jump off the wagon. Way too much hype for me. But that's only my opinion. They mention a free something for one particular thing and then do a video on a plethora of diseases. Annoying and irritating to me.
Adios
Kay I agree with you 100%. They ramble on and and saying the same thing over and over only to tell you you have to buy something to get a "Free" item. I stop listening and wait for the printed version to scroll to the end and see what they actually offer.
It just rambles & rambles on that video, says you will get a free book, that's a bunch of BS
Wow Joy Glory in Maine,
Who is Dr. Feldman? I certainly agree with the negative comments now since you don't seem to have a clue.
Jana, seriously. You are the one with no clue. She actually represented this group truthfully. The newsgroup actually was owned by a Dr Wright. His newsletters had good info, but he steered the consumer to his own supplement sources. There seem to be lots of ads in his newsletters, but an experienced natural health consumer knows how to extract the good info from the sales pitch. This person took lots of time to write down this info. You appear to be a spoiled, intellectually lazy ingrate.
I love it...truly laughed out loud.
:D
Mrs. Glory, if you can't do everything right then it's not right and can't be trusted. In fact, all the things that you yourself claimed were wrong should have convinced you that it can't be trusted.
Timothy E, all human beings are fallible and not one of us does everything right, including you. Your comment reflects brittle legalism, an unhealthy perfectionism, a critical spirit, and the destructive inflexibility that is inevitable when we fail to maintain a balanced perspective. Not everything in life is black or white, and we fail in both wisdom and humility when we act as if it is. By your own reasoning you should not be trusted since you have not done everything right and--worse, are apparently blind to your own imperfections.
I read the long review above and The doctors name is Dr. Glen Rothfeld not Feldman. Why would you buy the subscription and get the book and not read it is beyond me. ..
this is yet another Dr set up on the money grabbing marketing machine.
The way too long, sell, sell, sell. The 'deadly' shamphoos are never revealed.
The information compiled in the book may very well be, important information..
However the marketing is ruthless and soulless.
It seems as if the world has to feel that trying to market and sell products is a crime. This man is a legitimate doctor with a practice in MA. The book IS free, after you meet the criteria. (Would it be better if they, for example, offered free cigarettes to all and then shipped them to elementary-school aged children?) I don't like the advertising of phone sex lines, but it's legal and I'm an adult so I ignore it.
I cannot help but feel all these negative critical , people pulling this man down have never been ill or have someone close been ill
.I for one have had a breast tumour and been in a car accident and if someone is offering an answer that is natural and not for their own profit I thank God for their help. It really is cheap a trip to the doctor.....cheaper than a naturopath.AUSTRALIA needing to know how I can get the book.
They prey on ill people, Deborah..no matter where u live. Good luck staying away from these scammers!
Just like the ter “Fake News “
Cure e book for free
Having been sucked into various other long-winded pitches that have an attractive title only to find out much much much later that to really get some answers that might be helpful you have to subscribe to a costly newsletter....this experience has FINALLY cured me of taking the bait and wasting over an hour of my time.
I agree, so many of these sites must just like to hear themselves talk! If they really would like to sell their products they should keep it short and to the point. If they did I might actually be interested in making a purchase. But they insist on boring you to death thinking all the while they are convincing you to buy something and actually because of it have lost any prospect of making a sale. I don't think they'll ever learn!
Yes, keep it short and simple and QUIT PREYING upon the fears of the reader!!!!! When you have something legitimate,as you may have here, it is totally unnecessary to go on and on and on! If your desire and motivation is to help people THEN help them. It is so sad and tragic to hear such a long litany with the bottom line being MONEY once again. Is there anyone out there who is truly legitimate and caring????????????? If you have been in business for so long, I believe, you can well afford to share your knowlegde and expertise'gratis' for the sake of humanity. Are there any 'humanitarians" remaining???????
I totally agree. Long-winded videos with NO indication of how long they are or ability to fast-forward are a complete and highly irritating waste of time. On principle I no longer listen to them, as they are all just sales pitches trying to sucker people who are desperate for natural cures. I'm becoming increasingly wary of internet health sites punting natural or alternative cures and signing you up to newsletters that are frankly all trying to sell pills and potions. Their motivation (profit) is no different from 'big pharma', which they routinely criticise. Roll on the post-capitalist age.
I agree about the irritating long videos. A few seconds after one starts I click to close the web site tab. About 20% of the time the tab closes and I go on to other e-mail. About 80% of the time the website presents me with a window that asks if I really want to leave of stay. If I click "stay" the text of the video is presented and I can quickly scroll down past all the sales pitch to the bottom line. Thus I never watch these videos.
I agree. Somebody somewhere devised a 'template' which is the most ridiculous waste of time. And they all folow the pattern... Each promises that watching THE VIDEO will give you information. IT DOES NOT: It only suggests that the information is in whatever the video asks you to subscribe to. OK, so they want to make money. out of the information, but as the first bit is a con, the odds are pretty overwhelming the next bit is a con too ! If the information was really as good as they say it is, the word would surely be spreading by now?
The infomercials are all way to long!
I totally agree with John. Since they already started as a con, I'm sure somewhere along the line, if you keep following, you'll (probably) hit the minefield. I spent 35 minutes watching, hoping to hear a sound answer to the problem they suggested but got nothing except the blah blah blah... tactic trying to scare an old man like me. It took me less than 1 minutes to get the answer from google.
Gotcha! I agree with John and Daniel.
Well put, Charles!
I totally agree!

Like everyone here, I am nauseated by these typical American time-wasting promotional videos, script written by copy-writers who only have sales hype in mind. Just give me the "FREE" info and if I think it is interesting then I might be tempted to subscribe to a trial period. The total video time and fast forward buttons should be mandatory on all videos of this type.
Yes yes and yes to fast forward this endless sales pitch
I believe that if you have something legit to sell you don't need a 1/2 hour pitch to sell it. You just need proof and official statements from reputable sources that people can contact and a money back guarantee.
True statement!
Never judge a book BEFORE you open it's cover
I'm 52 years old. So now I have to wait 3 more years before I can pay $37 (the Seniors rate) to get these miracle cures? I agree that the cures are likely true - I know the flu shot is very toxic, and that megadoses of vitamin C (C-22) can cure cancer - so I'm pretty sure the others work as well. But I object to being held hostage for an hour to discover that I have to pay $74 for a supposedly FREE book!!!!
Also the video said that Emperor Salt from China cures Diabates?? Because it works better than Metformin? Well 2 things i gotta say - Number 1 - I cant find anything specific about Emperor salt, Not online. What colour is it anyway? and Number 2 - this salt, if it works, would only work on Diabetes Type 2.. Metformin is usually only given to Type 2 patients. Now since 90% of Diabetes patients have Type 2, it makes sense to concentrate on the bigger portion right? But what about the remaining 10% of Diabetes patients who have Type 1 (previously called Juvenile Diabetes)? Their pancreases are destroyed, No amount of any salt is going to fix that up!!! So in one respect they dont tell the WHOLE truth!!! Just like Big Pharma.
I listened to the presentation only to find at the end that they won't ship to Australia or New Zealand. Now thats 1 hour if my life I will never get back
WHY WILL THEY NOT SHIP TO NEW ZEALAND??
also will not ship to australia perhaps the kiwi,s and aussie,s are awake to perhaps another scam
I was about to delete after clicking on the offer and a coupon came up for me to get it for a 6-month Trial for $19. Still deciding.
Book is on eBay for 35!
As a senior I got the book for $37. There's lots of good stuff in it, I just can't believe they didn't give an index!!!!!!
I wrote to them about their interminable "short" videos and they wrote that you can back out of it, and get the message "Stay on page or leave page". So if you hit stay, then you can get it all as a transcript you can skim as fast as you want. Just wish they'd said that in the beginning.
I opted to leave the page and it went straight to the order form. It also offered the subscription for $19.99! Thanks for this tip.
Did you get the recipe (looked like toffee) something went wrong with my computer and lost it.My email is ermerkosky@sasktel.net ,would really appreciate this receipe!Let me know!
When the video was over you said in 3 minutes this receipe would be on and didn't receive it .Could you please email it to me Thankyou
send me the receipe ,thankyou1
The only thing I'm interested in is to try the recipe for Alzheimer's , my brother -in law is suffering and I would really like see if it will make any difference. I would buy a book if I knew it is working. Would you be so kind to send me a recipe to misspositive2010-wellness@yahoo.com ? Thank you!!!
Me too. The only thing I wanted was the recipe that the blabbering idiot kept saying was free at the of the "presentation" - yes "free" in the book - that is "free" too after you pay $74.00 ( $37.00 for seniors) for the newsletters!! They will 'not' send you the recipe. Just another scam.....
Oh my God... That seem to be the scam of scams! I'm sorry for your wrong experience on it, aunt Sammie, but I thank you very much for helping us yo avoid it!
Sorry about my bad writing, I live in Spain.
WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM SOMEONE ...SOON Lewis Rockwell@yahoo.com or phone me 902 3930097.
I'm extremely interested in Functional Medicine / Alternative Medicine, so I listened to the long winded sales pitch and ordered the "Free" book with a "bargain" $19 for 1/2 year newsletter subscription. There was a niggling at the back of my brain that it sounded similar to another offer online by a Dr. Wright. I should have checked!!!
I never received a single Newsletter, but I did have incendiary and very right wing emails sent to me by Nutrition & Healing and wondered how I got on this list, never making the connection.
Today I called investigating a VISA charge, and discovered that it was for my"subscription" to Nutrition and Healing. The best satisfaction I managed to get was a pro-rated refund.
While searching my email account for the "Newsletter" I found that in 2014 a "Jonathan V. Wright, MD" used EXACTLY THE SAME Nutrition and Health name, website and email address, for exactly the same book, He sent out hard copies of the Newsletter, which also offended me and I unsubscribed immediately.
Geez, I got scammed TWICE!! But fortunately only ended up a few dollars out of pocket. Needless to say, considering their tactics, I wouldn't put much value on anything in the book, although I did check through it and some of the recommendations are OK.
Does anybody know of any further action I can take to stop this SCAM? It's obviously working for them, or they wouldn't have run it twice using different names for the doctor.It's a good reminder that just because it say DOCTOR in print, doesn't make it true.
This is such unethical selling method, no phone number to contact to get answers to unaddressed questions of concern! Send me a phone number to ask questions.
Thank you!
Thank you. I was suspicious when she started slamming Obama specifically. I was annoyed that the narrative was sooooo long and when I tried to leave it part way thru discovered I could skim read to the bottom. I almost clicked order but decided to google Dr. Rothfeld -- and thus found these reviews.
Won't accept orders from Australia for some reason and NO "Contact Us" information anywhere.
They start talking about Alzheimers Cocktail cure with recipe "here" Read article but no recipe - LOOONG video presentation that only repeats what is in the written dialogue - try for free Atlas of Natural cures - Can't subscribe because Australia is not listed as a destination. Sounds scammy!
Found the same thing when I tried to order from New Zealand. At the bottom of the Order page I discovered a line listing Australia, New Zealand, Austria, Germany and Uruguay as countries where the offer is not available. In the information above I found an address for enquiries, http://www.newmarkethealth.com/nahcontact/nah_contact_form.htm.
I sent a message asking them to stop wasting the time of people in these counties by telling them up front that its not available there.
Report to Better Business Bureau?
Yes, you ABSOLUTELY should report them to the BBB. They ARE SCAM ARTISTS, just as pernicious, as Big Pharma's toxic drugs that they so sanctimoniously are condemning.
My answer to avoid scams is to never order anything online. If it's in the vitamin shops, I'll buy it and try it. If not, it probably hasn't been tested and approved by the FDA (not that I trust the FDA either).
I agree. I'm tired of the long entrapping infomercials and scleezy auto subscription techniques. This is my LAST time...from now on, it's webMd or Mayo clinic. Hope they promote more from a nutritional perspective.
Speaking of WebMD, they don't seem to think too much of DR. Rothfeld.
Like 2.5 stars.
All these negative reviews help us all move questionable tactics into the sunlight.
I am a firm believer in all the practices that seem to underpin this approach, but, my God, why can't we find actual professionals that want to help at a reasonable and up-front fee?
I'm still waiting for some one to claim that it works with some proof attached.not just words. .
I agree, let us hear from some patients whom the book truly helped.
I paid for a year, got the book and receive emails every day. There is always a link for you to click so you can find the cure. So you click on the link and now you have to sit through another long winded video that goes on and on but they don't say anything. They have the ability, kind of like politicians and modern corporate executives, to talk and talk without saying anything. To me it seems like a waste, but there must be some kind of science behind it or they wouldn't do it. Then when you get to the end you have to buy some more pills for $50. And for sure you know if you buy them, they won't do anything but make you poorer.
I was scammed into watching an hour long video promising a free book at the end. I ended up paying almost $80 for this book of old nothing new bullshit that you can find for free anywhere on google. In my opinion this Dr is nothing more than a shyster crook preying on sick people. Everything he does is one big SHAM! STAY AWAY!
The VAST majority of Doctors I have had experiences with are no different than CAR SALESMAN,LAWYERSand once MOST people get a few xtra dollars they CHANGE,and u cannot stop them from feverishly chasing money by all and every means no matter the lying needed,the cheating,at times signing affadavits and other notarized documents certIfying the lies,etc.I am diabetic,type 2,and was so 4 several years b4 a GOOD DR.(DR Timothy Doberstein MD,Temple Univ. Hosp.,Philadelphia Pa.,now practicing in State College Pa.,where Penn State Univ. is located.Consequently,my Diabetes has destroyed my leg blood vessels/veins,and I have now SEVERE diabetic neuropathy and bi-lateral vascular insufficiency.I am so terrified of losing a leg,or both legs.Regardless,I am going to try 'her'(if the Dr is a her!?) diet and exercise regimen.As far as I can tell nothing in the information is dangerous,and without more information firsthand I will continue with my metformin,reluctantly as it is not (4 me) a pleasant med 2 take 2x daily for years.I use 2 think Diabetes was a 'pretend' disease as u cannot generally see it.Boy was I mistaken,it is such a horrible think 2 struggle 2 walk with tremendous leg pain ,also from the pain of having hundreds of sores on both legs from my ankles to just above both knees.Please pray for me,and consider assisting me on my Go Fund Me page as I cannot even buy bandages and have to tear up clothes -sheets-etc.,to use as bandages,also I am not allowed to get a drivers license as I have a $2100.00 lien against me for a past accident,now until that is paid in full I cannot even apply for a license,and as I cannot walk well at all,I am not able to use the public transportation system,so am basically homebound.I have no family 2 help,and my life is very restricted,even the little $733.00 that SSI has blessed me with just does not allow me 2 use a taxi,as i have $47 dollars left after paying my bills each month.God Bless You all,if u r able 2 help,it would b greatly appreciated,if not I understand,most people r also struggling as I am.Take care,God Bless,I hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving.I 'earned' a free turkey where I shop for groceries and get my meds,I donated it to "CHOICES RECOVERY PROGRAM,REAR 307 LAIRD ST.,WILKES BARRE,PA.18702,,,570-408-9320. These are people who go there working on putting a past troubled life back together,if u r able to help them,please do.Again,GOD Bless You,happy Thanksgiving,we all have much 2 b thankful 4,I know I surely do!Have a nice day,sincerely and with great respect,john m zimmerman
Have u tried the Banting diet to help with the Diabetes?
You mean that, the subscription amounted to $80 - all toll?
But how would you know what to search for on the net without the label identifying the particular intervention QC -4, for example. Would YOU know that label without the book? Please, make sense.
I give them a Zero Rating
I do not know about many things in their book, BUT I DO KNOW ABOUT CANCER.
They never mentioned the SCIENTIFIC FACT that NO CANCER CELL CAN LIVE IN A BASIC PH ENVIRONMENT.
Nor tha it is not difficult for a person to make the PH of his body BASIC & thus KILL all cancer cels.
In addition, It is very INEXPENSIVE to do so, with items that can be purchased ot the local grocery store.

Yes a cheap way to balance Ph is to make and use Sole. It's just water and real sea salt. It cured allot of things in my body that doctors never found or labeled.
It did fix my depression/ anxiety, arthritis, ED but along with taking my grass fed and raw cow liver pills that are high in all amino acids. I have so many things fixed in my body from this method and it's so cheap and completely organgic.
The healing seems to go one step at a time and more is healed and cured as time goes. Doing this for six months and I'm still getting die offs Herxheimer effects. There is so much I can say and teach of but this would turn into a book.
Hope people hear me hear and become set free from the medical system as I have. I research and experimented on myself for fourteen years because fourteen year ago my Dr. Eugene Escow gave me a year to live back then after my two years on intravenous antibiotics and two more years following on an oral cocktail of them without any success to cure my Lyme/Bartinella. Well here I am alive and well from what I all learned on my own but with God at my side to teach me. Best to all of you. Oh and my fibromyalgia is also cured. It seems to me that it can cure absolutely anything since I have helped many others cure things also with this. There is so much to fully teach but it's too much for me to put it all here. I wish I could legally be a doctor to guide people to true health freedom that I was given to find. I love that even poor people can do it.
Thank you Charles,it is a fact that FEW DR.s try to cure diseases,it is not in their best interests 2 have fewer patients monetarily enriching them.Greed is such a terrible disease,it affects so many once they get a taste of 'the goodlife'.Again,thank u Mr. Ruzic,have a beautiful Thanksgiving and following holiday season.Gods richest blessings on u and your family,sincerely, john m zimmerman.
hi Jon you are saying sole is just water and real sea salt how much of each and do you drink it ... how does that cure you
I just wish the cure for dementia was that easy, :(
Could u plz give more info how to keep our body in basic ph. And I hope the same Michelle, my dad had both dementia and cancer. I read a lot about the effect of cocunt oil effect but unfortunately response of my dad was not good :(
Lemon . Alkaline foods. I think you want slightly alkaline urine ph but maybe iit is 7.2...Google it lots of articles.
I would love to think so BUT! your research is as superficial as mine WAS. TRUTH: You cannot cross the blood barrier to effect the PH level in your cells, which is in the gut. Therefore, disease cannot bee impacted
The book took a long time to arrive (approx 3 weeks) - but it's the U.S, so I accepted the delay. The book itself is very cheaply produced in the thousands - but the content was the main interest - and that was by far and away the largest let down.
Considering the massive amount hype the web-video gave both the content & Dr Rothfeld - they set themselves up for a fall. Note to the marketing folks at 'Nutrition and Healing'. The golden rule of selling: Under-promise & over-deliver (not the other way around)!
By creating a video that was WAY too long, one that made the same points WAY too often - I expected the revelation of the second coming - performed by the same crew that parted the Red Sea (at least).
What I got was a cheap book - that was remarkably content free in parts (consult my doctor). Hey - wow - thanks for that! Other 'tips' are really a collection of things the internet (and many old wives) have been serving up a very long time.
If you want to know about natural remedies - 'The Fragrant Mind' by Valerie Worwood. If you want to know about your food 'Swallow this' by Joanna Blythman are MUCH better reads (cheaper too). I hope this is constructive feedback for the marketing team. Cut it shorter (MUCH shorter) with the hype and be more honest about the content.
Thank you for your very detailed feedback and alternative suggestions!
WHY are scams like this allowed? I fell for The Unbreakable Brain scam, but my money was refunded. How are these people allowed to give false hope to people with critical health problems? They feed off the old people.....of which I am one.
Ditto
Richard, Is there any information about an Alzheimer's cocktail Cure in the book? jackruth@westnet.com.au
I too am interested in the cure for Alzheimer's my aunt has it and it's destroying her and my uncles lifes, she and he are both in there 80,s and are physically fit and healthy apart from this cruel disease which is in fact killing my uncle faster than my aunt as he struggles to deal with her now. franklester@btinternet.com
I heard worm-wood and iron helped shrink cancer cells. Just my 2 cents.
is there anything "real" about curing alzheimers?
Now that was a good review. It told me something. I'm not buying it, if there is no proof.
I agree, Frank. Thanks for not ranting and actually giving us some alternative options for natural remedies!
"By creating a video that was WAY too long, one that made the same points WAY too often - I expected the revelation of the second coming - performed by the same crew that parted the Red Sea (at least)."
Well put... I know the pattern, too. When the pitch keeps promising to share a secret (AT THE END OF THE FILABUSTER-speech) it tells me the seller is fishing for suckers. I don't know why they all so THICK as to use the same mold
I think your presentation was misleading. I was enticed to listen to your very long presentation to find at the end that I had to pay $37.00 to get your FREE book Atlas of Natural Cures (not so free)
I want to verify that you did not sign me up for an automatic renewal.

The presentation began with a promise to provide the ingredients for a 'cocktail'. This was never happened. The only thing recipe given was for a subscription to a newsletter and a warning not to let the opportunity pass you by.
I listened to this very long presentation as well, waiting for the miracle cocktail too. What a farce this was...shame on you for preying on people who are seeking help. You just want to sell us membership into a product that is most likely more hype and worthless blah blah blah! Here's another one for "American Greed."
I found the Book extremely Disappointing and request a refund.
Charles....
P.T. Barnum is apparently alive and well. He offers the secret of eternal life for free. All he needs is your bank account number. LOL
Did anybody watch this piece of crap long enough to find out what the miracle "junk food" is?
They never said what the miracle junk food is. I had a problem with that too. I even watched it twice and didn't find it in the video either time. A real "come-on" with no delivery.
My mother has Alzheimers and as we know that means that I too may fall prey to this terrible disease. Looking for options, cures which this provides which in reality it is a sales pitch.
Using peoples problems and fear to sell. As a Doctor you take a oath to do no harm....did you forget. I have no doubt that some are falling prey to your pitch...why stalk and prey on the ill and care givers?
I am saddened as I see society falling into the pits of hell as we continue to deteriorate as a nation. Just one more piece of evidence we are becoming a self-centered, narcissistic nation-where we once stood tall and helped others and now we are not even helping ourselves.
This is wrong on many levels.
I thought that it had to be a scam to be free .money to be made from member ship colactions . just think about how much can be colacted from $37.00 from every one that joins Please forgive my spelling ok
How about rating the protocol instead of a rant about something you don't seem to have tried.
Yes - have you tried the cures in this book and they failed. Not a helpful review at all.
Robbie, If you really want some good honest help with alzheimer...I find the website and the info is free called cancertutor ..it is info from the Independent cancer research foundation ,They don't take any money from big pharma so they can do and say what they find out....Great cancer help they will describe what you need to do to fight cancer .They have been doing some changes to the web site ,when you can find their search box just type in alzheimer ,I just read about it last week fort my mother ...Great for many diseases ,even diabetes .
Thank you. Will check out cancertutor for a friend with aggressive prostate cancer.
Dr, Rothfeld is not board certified.
I wrote this earlier in a reply and am saying it again because i am sure people won't search through stuff for a reply. i am in the process of reading it and so far i like it a lot.
that said:
everything is about money. anyone who expects something for nothing not only is fooling themselves, but they are actually falling into the category of the people who think the world owes them something. a worker is worthy of their hire. anyone who puts their lifetime work into a book is worth paying.
the fact is that the book is a compilation of all of the posts you will read on his site. it is what is known in marketing as a "loss leader" - a product given away or sold at a low price to get you to subscribe or buy something else. that is simply how marketing works.
to call the book a scam is really unfair. to expect marketing to be altruistic is also unfair. you certainly don't mind if a bank gives you a toaster or a gift card for signing up. you don't mind when you get a nice bag from AARP for subbing. Nor would you complain if walmart offered an incentive to buy- like a half off sale or a two for one or even market basket and other grocery stores with big sales on one product only if you buy $10 of other groceries.
I have seen the coupons that offer your milk for free if you are buying bread and eggs- or other such offers. people love them. so why should information be any different?
and there is the right to cancel. if i decide to cancel instead of getting all 12 months, i will simply write to the guy who sent me the confirmation email
also: there actually is a way to get it without listening at all. they just didn't send that in our emails because a marketing firm is doing the marketing on this. Someone named Troy Sawyer answers you and brings you to a website he actually admins. it is filled with every-day common suggestions about things like coconut oil and apple cider vinegar- which we all know about if we research holistic health at all.
he has a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Dr-Glenn-Rothfelds-Nutrition-Healing-853057521470753/
and to the person who said he went to prison for scams - absolutely not. no he never did. there have been others well known to have done that but not him.
in fact at his clinic he got rave reviews:
https://www.demandforce.com/b/346001240/reviews
http://nutritionandhealing.com/about/
You cant believe any thing on here at all can you ?
are you sure they are real people and not people he hired to write rave reviews?
$5 or $10 for the book sounds reasonable . A free book with a subscription fee of $74 or $37 is beyond ridiculous. That subscription fee gives you what, email newsletter that you should be getting for free from the get-go for subscribing. Now a days, bloggers will send you free email newsletters and even give subscribers freebies just for subscribing to their email list. "So many people expect it to be free", nice try on your review but it doesn't work in the real world. A lot of things you mentioned can be rebuttal. The website you link the readers to, received rave reviews from fictitious people who got paid to do so. Bread and eggs don't cost that much. At least not the outrageous $74 or $37. No one said the free book was a scam. The reviewers said the subscription was a scam. The free book was actually not "free". The word free was only a sales pitch. Atlas for Natural cures is jam packed with information that you can get for free through Google. You can get free stuff by doing something for it, NOT paying something for it. Sending an email back to the original sender to cancel your subscription is not easy. Sometimes you really have to fight the whole nine yards to get your money back. So far, every reviewer thinks this whole shabang with the atlas of natural cures is a scam except for yourself because either you are that Doctor himself, OR you got paid to write this obnoxious review.
I even tell my Doctor that I visit Dr Google and Dr You Tube to get information, not necessarily to self diagnose but to get an insight to problems like Alzheimers. Anyone with information about this so called Cocktail to reverse Alzheimers please contact me on jack41@westnet.com.au
I've had zero response to this request.
Wow thank you
Well since you seem to know - WHAT is the mineral in water - Lithia Spring in Georgia ... blah blah blah - why doesn't she ever just SAY what the great natural element is that helps against Alzheimers - I watched too much of this before realizing she was NEVER going to answer it. I thought they were of higher integrity than this ....................
Its in the book.
I believe in the topic but to be held for another "minute", in a "moment" is very frustrating. Fyuri, in the examples you gave for loss leaders we know before an hour what our options are.
A big rip-off and I am going to the BBB and the attorney general. You better give me my money back ASAP you bunch of thieves.
I agree
Totally agree.
The whole book is a sales pitch.
