More Dispatches From the Colon Blow Frontlines
Here's another multi-level marketing page for colon cleansers, which appears brought to us by the same folks who own (or at least designed) the Colon Review Board site.
"The Colon Cleanse Test" site sports an embedded six-minute CBS News video with celebrities, including Morgan Freeman, Diane Keaton and Jimmy Smits, talking about colon cancer. This site's blind-registered (of course) through some anonymous service in California. It sports a link to Bromalite, which we debunked in an earlier posting. There's also a link to Acai-Pure.com, a site boasting something that looks like an endorsement by Rachael Ray, but isn't. Acai-Pure's 14-day "free" trial pitch, which actually costs $4, will get you a $39.95-per-bottle monthly charge billed to your credit card.
The acai site is blind-registered in Arizona, where the parent company, Central Coast Neutraceuticals, is based. You'll find the usual chain of complaints here and here. Central Coast Neutraceuticals has what might be called a minimalist corporate Web site. It also has the lowest possible rating from the Better Business Bureau, and a particularly devastating complaint report. It also peddles hoodia, which we're going to look at in future installments.
Finally, Colon Cleanse Test links to ColoFlush, which is also blind-registered in Arizona. That's an Advanced Wellness Research product, which we'll talk about in a minute.
