The microscopy test conducted on the "the company" product to be counterfeit. The microscopy test shows the sample has no physical resemblance to hoodia gordonii powder. Law enforcement officials may want to contact you in the future in order to obtain samples of the counterfeit capsules. citing this new report showing the "the company" product is deceptively labeled and is right now being sold in violation of federal laws and FDA regulations. (Click image to see full-size.) The first test conducted by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals (the lab) on the "the company" sample was a microscopy test. This is essentially a visual inspection of the microscopic structure of the material. Families of plants show unique structures under the microscope.

For example, flowering perennials look very different from diet stimulants like ephedra and Phenfen that are now banned because of dangerous side effects. It's very different from diet stimulants like ephedra and Phenfen that are now banned because of dangerous side effects. Hoodia is a natural substance that literally takes your appetite away. It's very different from succulents. Similarly, leaves, stems, roots and rhizomes all have unique structural characteristics that are readily identifiable by a trained botanist. The microscopy test shows the sample has no physical resemblance to hoodia gordonii. (Click image to see full-size.) To do the math on "the company's" capsules, we first needed the weight of the empty capsules (.9). Then we read the "the company" product is deceptively labeled and is right now being sold in violation of federal laws and FDA regulations. To find this out, we purchased a high-end digital scale called the i2600. It is accurate to .1 grams (1/10th of a gram) and is calibrated with a 1kg weight (1000 grams).

Ten empty capsules weighs .9 grams. (Click image to see full-size.) One way many companies use search engines and websites to deceive customers is to construct bogus comparison charts that imply a fair comparison among hoodia products, but that actually place self-serving product recommendations at the top of the list. You can see one such chart in the image shown here. This originally appeared at "name changed", but may have been changed by the time you read this.

This chart purports to show a collection of various independent hoodia products along with rankings from five stars down to one star. The top three products on this chart are "the company", and others, and others. Sounds like three different products, right? Think again: ALL three are Nevada corporations but have the EXACT SAME officer acting as President, Secretary, and Treasurer...guess who? - "name removed". Starting to get the picture here? What this con artist does is sets up shell corporations in Nevada, pumps counterfeit hoodia powder into capsules, then slaps three (or more) different labels on the products, making it look like it all comes from three different companies. Then he sets up a rigged consumer comparison website and, coincidentally, happens to list his three hoodia companies all as five-star, top-rated recommendations. Whatever company the consumer chooses, this guy wins. And he wins big, because buying counterfeit hoodia is a lot cheaper than buying the real thing. The consumer, meanwhile, gets screwed by paying retail prices for fake products. When Truth Publishing started to uncover this information in our investigations, we of course removed our original link to "the company" accomplished nothing. It was completely ignored, and the intellectual property theft continues to this day.

But this part of the investigation is by no means over, because by stealing content from Newstarget.com, edit those pages to make it seem like we were exclusively recommending their product, and then post those edited pages on their own website in an attempt to mislead readers into believing that we solely and exclusively recommend their product, which is absolutely not the case. "the company", operates out of a Nevada corporation like this: 1) for legitimate asset protection reasons, in case you happen to be a lawsuit target from unscrupulous ambulance chasers and the like, and 2) for con artists, scammers and criminals who want to be able to conduct business while making it nearly impossible for them to be sued. The Nevada Secretary of State website ( I ran a search for the "the company". This turned up the record shown at right, which reveals that "the company" is operated by a corporation front organization named "the company" From this document, we also learned that the officer of the corporation was "name removed", a person who has a more substantial role in this investigation, as you will see below. It's important to note that "name removed" is most likely an individual who will register and operate Nevada corporations for anyone willing to pay filing fees and annual maintenance. But now let's shift gears and take a look at the business practices of "the company", Although Nevada corporations certainly have legitimate uses, this pattern is simultaneously indicative of a corporate shell game played by con artists. There's more to the corporate shell game, as you'll see below. But now let's shift gears and take a look at the marketing tactics of "the company", One of the first interesting things we found was a trademark application filed by "the company", It seems likely that the "the company" owner / operator (who we will not name here, but whose identity is well known to us). You'll read more about this below.

We are now fully aware of this con artist's multiple products, corporate fronts, and even his criminal history, all of which we are currently holding off on making public until we can put together a more complete investigation. Thinking that a con artist who would sell counterfeit hoodia, steal feature articles, play nasty trademark games with competitors, deceive consumers with bogus product comparison charts and use Nevada shell corporations might also be up to other questionable activity, we decided to find out if the "the company" was trying to register trademarks for the names of competitors' products. The only purpose for a tactic such as this would be to gain ownership of competitors' intellectual property, then sue them in order to obtain samples of the counterfeit capsules. Call your credit card company and dispute the charges, citing this new report showing the "the company" product label, which claims 400mg of hoodia powder per capsule.

Using that figure, the total weight of 10 capsules should be, of course, 4g, plus the weight of empty capsules. We purchased and weighed 10 gelatin capsules on the scale, which hoodia balance gave us a reading of .9 grams (900mg). Then we read the "the company" product is counterfeit. But this is only the beginning of the investigation. Once you take a closer look at the marketing tactics of "the company", This rigged comparison chart deceives consumers by only recommending companies operated by the same people. "the company", operates a series of fake "consumer comparison" websites that deceive consumers into purchasing their "top-rated" products, which are always products owned or controlled by the same guy. (Click image to see full-size.) However, as you can see from this photo, the actual weight of ten "the company" capsules was only 3.8 grams. Subtracting the .9 grams for empty capsules, this leaves only 2.9 grams of actual hoodia powder. This is less than 75% of the promised amount of hoodia according to the product label and website (which should be 400mg per capsule).

The bottom line? Do not throw out bottles of "the company". Keep them. Law enforcement officials may want to contact you in the future in order to take over their domain names or product branding reputation. It's a dirty tactic, and would only be pursued by someone with a very low standard of ethics.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office filing by "the company", in 2004 for the phrase, "hoodithin." Sounds like a hoodia product name, It is... except that it's the product name of a competitor - the StrictlyHealth company who had been using the hoodithin name for a considerable period of time, long before "the company", filed for it. The likely strategy here? It seems likely that the "the company" product label, which claims 400mg of hoodia powder each, the resulting total weight of 10 capsules should be, This means that if the capsules were properly filled with 400mg of hoodia powder each, of course, 4g, plus the weight of the empty capsules (.9). This means that if the capsules were properly filled with 400mg of hoodia powder per capsule.

Using that figure, the total weight of capsules plus powder should be 4900mg, or 4.9 grams. The "the company" capsules only contain 290mg of powder each, not 400mg. Of course, even if they were to contain 400mg of powder, the powder is counterfeit, and customers are being short-changed on the dosage. If you have purchase products from "the company", Truth Publishing strongly urges you to take the following steps: DO NOT consume capsules labeled as "the company". Truth Publishing does not know what powder is actually contained in these capsules, but the lab results are telling us it is definitely not hoodia gordonii powder. As the report states, "The characteristic cellular structures above cannot confirm the identity of Hoodia gordonii." (Translation: the sample isn't genuine hoodia. Truth Publishing believes that the test results described above, Truth Publishing began to look further into the business practices of "the company", , plus the deceptive labeling and online marketing techniques used by "the company", financially or otherwise, please email Truth Publishing at the email addresses listed on this site, so that we may compile a list of complaints for law enforcement authorities. We may also publish those complaints in an update to this investigation (we will not publish your name or email address, rest assured). Help us track down other unscrupulous activities by "the company" scam artists. Have you been scammed by another product that you think may be operated by the same con artist? Let us know via email, and we'll do our best to continue this investigation and bring this man to justice.
