Feds bust herbal bust and penis kingpins Body Part Enlargement Scam Shuttered May 30, 2002 - A Scottsdale, Arizona company that sold what it claimed were penis- and breast-enlargement pills over the Internet was raided by state and federal agents who said they seized more than $30 million in assets, including cash, jewelry, luxury homes and automobiles including eight Mercedes, a Cadillac, a Rolls-Royce and a Lamborghini. Herbal breast enhancers - dubious and potentially dangerous Consumerlab.Com Finds 'Breast Enhancement' Pills Lack Evidence of Efficacy - April 17, 2002 ConsumerLab.com announced today that it found no hard evidence to suggest that current dietary supplements marketed for breast enhancement are effective. Its findings appear in a Review Article on its site, in which scientific literature and product information were analyzed. Unlike ConsumerLab.com's typical Product Reviews in which supplements and nutrition products are subjected to laboratory testing, ConsumerLab.com found no basis to proceed with testing of breast enhancement products as none could be recommended. Playing to Our Vanity - Los Angeles Times - Jan. 14, 2002 Can pills containing a special blend of natural herbs increase a woman's cleavage, making breasts firmer and more attractive, without the need for surgical implants or a breast lift? A host of ads and infomercials beckon with claims that such products can transform a woman's breasts, enabling the user to "gain back the firmness you had as a teenager." Canadian radio personality hawks bigger breasts On Thursday, February 24, 2000, Rebecca Powley a spokesperson for two natural herbal products appeared on a highly promoted edition of "McLean on the Line", on CKGL NEWSTALK-570 radio in Kitchener. As a result of that show, the following complaint was filed. The Grobust show made it perfectly clear that you can fool all of the people some of the time. "McLean on the line" demonstrated that even the most gullible among us would not only purchase herbal remedies to do wonderous things, but that a talk show host would again be willing participant in that effort. Rebecca Powley of POW Products, and Wayne McLean gave away two bottles of the magic herbal formulas, and answered questions from many in the listening audience who were interested. There were a few skeptics. There were no experts. The show was a fine example of what the health fraud industry is all about. But, it's par for the course for AM radio in North America. So, led by our trusty quacksniffing dog, Herby, we tracked down the principles in the companies involved in the promotion, and who really owns the marketing rights to sell and distribute the herbal products. The major player, Mountain Top Herbs is actually based in Utah, with web sites hosted in St. Louis, Missouri. It seems that there are dozens of natural food, MLM, and now herbal companies that are apparently flocking to Utah.

See if you get the gist here of what she is saying. This woman says she was ripped of by a company to the tune of $1700. Seven held over breast-enlargement scam Six employees and the boss of a Japanese company selling "breast- enlargement" pills have been arrested for a scam which deceived 100,000 women. The cosmetics firm, Sepia, sold tablets that contained herbal extracts and claimed swallowing six a day would encourage hormone production and make breasts bigger. It's amazing folks - it answers the simple question: Are women more obsessed with breasts than men are? It's not a pill, it's not a cream, it's not a gimmick!!! - but boy does it suck big time. More ingredients with pictures and wild and unsubtantiated claims. GroBusted links Complaint Parl Johnson's history of GroBust and other tall tales Grobust busters Bustin' Out - The ABCs and DDs of breast enlargement - Karen Olssen - A Body Parts - The Breasts This is a story of a call made to the home of someone who obviously didn't like what she heard on the other end of the phone. It was from a company who thought it was a good idea. "She told me that all small breasts are the result of some sort of snafu in the growth process, be it a bad diet, hormonal irregularities, or any number of other possible breast-arresters. "Mmm-hmmm," I said. (That's yeah right, bitch translated into phone language.) I felt insulted. Our conversation deteriorated. She went on about how some really pricey creams or pills (I don't remember which) would kick-start the natural growth process and "restore" me to my bulbous natural state." Bigger Breasts or Your Money Back! - Carolyn Strange - A Women's Body Q: I've been searching the Web for information about natural ways to enlarge my breasts, and I found some pills advertised to do this. You take them for three to six months and they're supposed to increase your breast size by one to three cup sizes. I'm wondering if there are any negative side effects. A: The only 100-percent-guaranteed effect is indeed negative. It's not physiologic but economic: Money will leave your pocket. There's no scientific literature regarding breast-enlarging concoctions. They don't need you or anyone else to get results. All they need is an ever-renewing cycle of suckers. If it actually does seem to work every so often, so much the better. Back to Herbal News
