Herbal Magic

Hi,
I saw a Herbal Magic add on T.V. and it just screamed pseudoscience and BS to me throughout the entire commercial. I was just wondering if this "Herbal Magic" holds any water.

Thanks,

Scam.

"Herbal Magic" seems to be some sort of MLM scheme. After a $1000 initiation fee, and a $300 per month for the supplements that you are required to take, it seems that you would definately lose weight after having spent all your grocery money on pills and powders of dubious efficacy.

Sorry, I just can't come up with a pithy pun using the phrase "holds any water".

Fnord I'd nominate you again, but the mods would think I'm stalking you. I may need your sarcasm services in an upcoming book

The CBC consumer TV program did a pretty good job on Herbal Magic this Spring. A bit of Googling will get you the details.

Maybe they should switch to Homeopathy. That's the only woo-woo business that holds any water.

Perhaps the only way "herbal magic" pills would hold any water would be if you hollowed them out and used them as tiny bowls?

You're welcome. Having being directly involved in perpetuating similar MLM scams, I believe that I may speak with some small degree of authority on the subject.

There's basically two kinds of substances you can put in your body: drugs and foods. If the thing you're being sold is not regulated as a drug, then it's just food. So it's not going to do what the seller claims.
