Is that her name? She just introduces herself as the wife of a famous talk show host, no name given, on the radio commercials I've heard.

Actually, I don't even think she says A talk show host, it's more like "I am the wife of world-famous radio talk show host."

One basic I was taught in nursing school was that if it changes your metabolism or chemistry it is a drug. If it does what these people claim, it would be a drug. Since it isn't controlled by the FDA, it isn't a drug. If it isn't a drug, it can't be doing what these people claim. I guess it is circular but it works for me every time.

The product works. One suspects that it keeps the body from digesting some of the food consumed, and some of the other ingredients are garden variety herbal appetite supressors.


90$$$$ ----> Two inches of waist. Far cheaper than Lipo.

There goes a big chunk of revenue for Rush and Hannity.

Rush can go back to that garlic-capsules guy. Was it Garlique?

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

I have a friend who took lots of it and a sister is taking it. Neither one lost any weight.

What's next? Miss Cleo outed as a fraud?

In March of 1989 Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann, chemists at the University of Utah, claimed that they produced a fusion reaction at room temperature.

What is with the University of Utah?

I heard one on the drive to work this morning (on Laura Ingraham's show) and wondered for several minutes what "the Cortislim lifestyle" must be like. Taking a few pills is a "lifestyle"?

[hobbes1]

As I pointed out, I do work out vigorously, and it is possible that the effect of the product resulted in a greater coloric deficit, over the time of consumption, as the product definitely keeps the mail moving.


But as I said, The Pants dont lie.

CortiSlim may have to change its name to CortiSorry after a federal crackdown on misleading ads for the weight-loss supplement developed by a University of Utah part-time professor.

About time. The first time I heard the ads I was yelling at them. And, yes, I am a nutrition professional.

[Clintons Are White Trash]

ROFL!!! He offended me every time I saw those stupid commercials! I've just been waiting for this thing to blow up, now maybe they will go away.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Unfortunately these commercials will simply be replaced by something equally vile. Probably more of that stupid Levitra ad music. Maybe Larry Klayman Matthew Lesko will return to the airwaves....

[Constitution Day]

If she was so psychic, why didn't she know she was under investigation?

[hobbes1]

The FDA???????? (pardon me while i stop chuckling...) You mean the very same people that were going after Ephedra, While the FDA APPROVED Vioxx, was Killing people....?????


(and dont get me started on SSRI's...)

[Styria]

Bump!

[Red Badger]

Trade ya....My wife thinks she's slim and beautiful and I'm overweight.....

[ladylib]

Maybe you're supposed to be on it for the rest of your life?

[Skooz]

Trade ya....My wife thinks she's slim and beautiful and I'm overweight.....

My wife spares no opportunity to poke fun at my middle-age spread. I am 6'1" and weigh about 220 lbs. But, she acts like I'm 5'8" and 350 lbs.

Don't forget the Utah State University professor (Hailey) who tried to push offa shabby analysis of the forged CBS memos. What is with Universities in Utah?

[razorback-bert]

lost 8 lbs

I found it.
