I ordered these books on october 12 and right away I sent an email cancelling my order because I got a bad feeling about this company. I called also to cancel. They charged my account anyways and I never received such books. Be careful do not trust this company. <br />

After watching the Infomercial on this book we immediately ordered it online with our Credit Card. That order was placed June 6/07. June 8/07 the payment was processed against our credit card and to date - Aug. 13/07 - we have not received anything! We have emailed asking for the status and were told it could take 6 - 8 weeks. We recently emailed again and they responded by asking if we wanted the book. We sent an email back asking them to IMMEDIATELY credit the amount previously charged against our account. We'll see what happens. Bottom line -- NEVER order off of an Informercial. This the 2nd time we have tried to order something and have not received what we ordered and ended up being out money!

I ordered the book on Health Secrets this blond haired "Doctor"<br />
and waited 4 weeks, and never received it, so I waited 2 more weeks and then I called on the status of the books. They told me that they had shipped it to me the day before they charged my credit card, and I said I never got the books, so they said they'll re-mail it and I'll get it in 4 more additional weeks (nope, they didn't bother to express the books). But, that didn't happen either. Instead, they gave me back 90% of my money. Why not 100%?!? What company would just give up and forget about the order? I was waiting for those books! But, now I could care less 'cause all sorts of red flags are up..People do not buy anything thru infomercials. Period!

I wish I had known about this site before I ordered anything on line.<br />
These books are a complilation of many different doctors opinions. Some of the advice contradicts what another doctor highly reccomends. So it's a crap shoot. Some advice still tells you to consume diet sodas!!! How outdated can you get? I'm going to send them back and request that the carrier receive a signature that they've been received on their side.

I ordered the book on my DEBIT card from TV. 2 days later I decided I could not afford it and called to cancel my order. They refused to cancel stating it had been processed, which it had not because the money had not been deducted from my DEBIT card. I then made sure there was not enough money on my card but they have a system, I was told by NETSPEND, that they were able to force the transaction and leave a neg. bal. on my DEBIT card! How is this possible legally?

I watched the infomercial in the wee hours and because I'm very keen on Healthy living and natural cures as opposed to drugs, I thought I'd order the book (included were to be 2 other books). The $39.95 price somehow ended up being $85.00. After I hung up, I went online and researched and based on the reporting online, I decided to cancel the order. Even tho' it was only 2 hours later when I called back, I was told that I would have to wait until I received the books then I could refuse them. I said I did not want to pay any shipping costs and asked that they remove my order from the system. They refused so I hung up and promptly called my credit card company and because nothing had been billed yet, I cancelled my card.

These are not secrets the doctors are telling in the book. Amongst other things, the duct tape cure for warts can be an effective method but a little research into the topic on the internet you get the information for free. What they are doing is trying to sell what was a staple in early american homes- a medical guide- and make it sound unique. This is a crock. If you want reliable medical information, google it and get the information you need from a reputable source. Verify it against another reputable source. If they match, you're in business to talk about it with your Doctor. There I have saved you 35USD.

The World's Greatest Treasury of Health Secrets = The World's Greatest Treasury of Scam Secrets. This book is nothing but just some kindergarden tips you can find on the internet anywhere.<br />

I saw the infomercial and decided to order the book; then I got pressured into ordering other books. In the meantime, I visited a friend of mine who had just bought it and had a chance to check it thoroughly. The book is undiluted crap. It is a scam, it tells you basic information. I am afraid now that if I refuse delivery, I will be out of luck in not only not seeing my money back, but not having anything at all. What can we do? How can the well known tv anchor lend himself to this fraud?

After giving them my card number, the phone-clerk began to hustle me for the price of an additional 'addenda edition'. I became wary at that point and told her she had just reminded me of a common street hustler who, after successfully bumming a cigarette, asked for the money to buy a pack. Then, she proceded to hustle me for unrelated magazine subscriptions. I did, ultimately, approve the initial book purchase. I phoned back in less than 60-seconds to cancel the order. I was told to call their customer service number, which was closed on a Saturday. I called the advertised number back twice and was told there was no supervisor to help and my order could not be cancelled. I am still waiting for the charge to appear on my online statement. As of one-hour, it has not appeared. Maybe I'm lucky.

I received my order today, theoretically. What I received was an empty box, marked by the Post Office that it was "unsealed" and "without contents" at the point of shipment. What a great scam. Ship an empty box for $47.90. I am sure that this represents a true "Health Secret" for the publishers, BoardRoom, Inc. For a web-based business, they do not have a web-based solution to this problem, which is indicative of a situation where I may encounter great difficulties in receiving a refund from the publisher. If not, I will be filing fraud, mail fraud and interstate fraud claims as well against the publisher while protesting the payment from my credit card. Thank God I did not use PayPal with their vendor friendly resolution procedures which take days of work, multiple forms, and months to resolve.

The book is a waste of money and also I never received my (2) free books. There was nothing in it that I didn't know already. The book is a JOKE!!

I purchased the Treasury of Health Secrets which was charged to my visa card on August 9/06. I sent it back a few weeks later and I am still waiting for the credit on my visa statement. Now I am having a problem getting to the correct source. The number I had written down said I never got the book from them. I ordered direct from the TV infomercial. I sent the book back as they said you could but so far no money back to me. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

I orderd the books and waited over 10 weeks and never received the book's! I called cust. service and they said, yes my visa had been billed, I said well where are my book's? I never did receive them even after a year and numours phone call's, from what I read on the rating's I guess I would be out my money anyway. But it would still have been nice to get the book's I paid for. And my money had NOT been refunded.

This book was nothing but crap, and they got me for both shipping charges. It took them two months to credit my card. Then in the mail I am getting scam letters about secret societies and how lucky I am to have been selected. These people are horrible people.

I do not want to spend too much time on the computer or writing complaints but I feel that it is important to warn the rest of you out there who may get entice to call the 1-800 as you may be, just like me, be captivated by the great infomercial advocating this book. Warning!!! DO NOT fall for this. Do not call the 1-800 and make a big mistake by giving your credit card number to these people!!! Please. A concern citizen, Solita
