Simplexity/Cell Tech/Products not to buy/Scams/Annoyance - again...

Despite the fact that this blog isn't about Cell Tech or Simplexity or whatever else they're calling themselves right now, I get more hits from strangers on my site about this group than anything else. Of course, I'd much rather people read my poetry or my commentary about postmodernism... but unfortunately, my dabbling into consumer protection is much more important.

To review, I had a very bad run in with an employee of Cell Tech (now called Simplexity) at an "ADD/ADHD" workshop. The following are undeniable truths:


1) A man by the name of John F. Taylor gave a presentation supposedly about ADD and ADHD. Part way through he mentioned that Cell Tech algae can cure these problems. I was skeptical and did research during his presentation.

2) During my research I discovered that John F. Taylor was borderline breaking the law in front of my very eyes by peddling a product as an "expert" without divulging that he worked for that company. This is like a Viagra salesperson telling you how great their sex life is because of this drug, and then finding out later that they're paid to sell you Viagra. NOT ETHICAL.

3) Cell Tech algae, as a product, has never been proven to cure ADD or ADHD - but they have suffered through various lawsuits. Consequences of these lawsuits include the banning of selling Cell Tech products in the state of California.

I blogged all about that here: http://demonwilbjammin.blogspot.com/2006/05/attacking-scam-artists-cell-tech-dr.html


Now, why bring this up again? Because someone did me the "favor" of posting (Anonymously, of course) information from the Simplexity web site (remember Cell Tech = Simplexity) to inform all of you that the FDA inspects their facilities.

Thanks Anonymous person for random irrelevant information. Just because the FDA inspects something, does not mean that the product actually works as advertised.

Go to any product on Simplexity's web site and you will see the following disclaimer on EVERY PRODUCT:

"*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. " (Click here for instance.)

The FDA is only checking the facility to make sure that the facility is clean, and doesn't have rats pooping in everything or mold or whatever (like what caused the salmonella break-out in the peanut butter factory recently). If the FDA doesn't evaluate a product, and the only information about the product you get from people who work for the company that creates the product who unethically neglect to tell you that they work for the company... YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO BUY THE PRODUCT.

Some of you will never get it, and are desperately looking for a panacea and will try anything. Well, do so at your own risk. I've warned you about Cell Tech/Simplexity - you can do the rest of the research yourself if you don't want to believe me because that is inconvenient.

P.S. - To the anonymous poster. Thanks, but no thanks, I am deleting your comment. I will leave a comment there to explain why with a link to this post. If you have more to say, make your own damned blog.
