It’s supposed to be clinically validated for better sex.”

Both ArginMax for Men and ArginMax for women work in basically the same way—by influencing the body’s production of nitric oxide.

Every few years, “natural” medicine trots out a new “miracle food”. Lately its miracle of choice is a South American berry known as acai. ]]>http://www.lisabarger.com/is-it-a-scam/rss-comments-entry-2727493.xmlLisa BargerMon, 15 Dec 2008 15:59:44 +0000http://www.lisabarger.com/is-it-a-scam/kiiera-viv.html267476:2721662:2671440“Have you done Kiiera VIV yet? If you haven’t, could you take a peek and let me know if you think Kiiera VIV is a scam?”

Sorry, folks. It’s another designer fruit juice. And, yes, it’s hawked through an MLM. ]]>http://www.lisabarger.com/is-it-a-scam/rss-comments-entry-2671440.xmlLisa BargerFri, 12 Dec 2008 19:19:15 +0000http://www.lisabarger.com/is-it-a-scam/herbal-breast-enhancers.html267476:2721662:2688613“Are natural breast enhancers a scam? What about stuff like saw palmettos and Mexican yam?”

Yes. Those “natural” breast enhancers are scams. None work as their proponents claim and even if they did, the risks of using them would far outweigh any benefit gained. ]]>http://www.lisabarger.com/is-it-a-scam/rss-comments-entry-2688613.xmlLisa BargerTue, 09 Dec 2008 15:10:58 +0000http://www.lisabarger.com/is-it-a-scam/coltox.html267476:2721662:2670963“Are you familiar with Coltox? Could you take a look at tell me if you think it’s a scam?”

With ads for “natural” colon cleansers assaulting you from every angle, it’s hard to get excited about a new one. So when a reader asked us to take a look at a product called Coltox we weren’t exactly raring to go, as the saying goes. But you know what? Coltox isn’t so bad. ]]>http://www.lisabarger.com/is-it-a-scam/rss-comments-entry-2670963.xmlLisa BargerMon, 08 Dec 2008 19:27:35 +0000http://www.lisabarger.com/is-it-a-scam/acai-plus.html267476:2721662:2667856“I’m looking into Acai Plus juice company. What do you know about them?”

Acai Plus is the hallmark product of TriUnity—a multi-level-marketing company based in San Diego, California. Like all the other “miracle” fruit juices being hawked door-to-door by you friendly neighborhood soccer mom, this one boasts of some exotic new ingredients and makes some pretty impressive claims. ]]>http://www.lisabarger.com/is-it-a-scam/rss-comments-entry-2667856.xmlLisa BargerMon, 24 Nov 2008 17:55:52 +0000http://www.lisabarger.com/is-it-a-scam/pomegranate-juice-for-prostate.html267476:2721662:2602176“Didn’t you once claim that pomegranate juice killed prostate cancer? So what do you think of the new studies proving pomegranate juice is a scam?”

I’m not sure what study you’re referencing because as recently as September, 2008 new studies were still finding in favor of pomegranate juice for various prostate issues. ]]>http://www.lisabarger.com/is-it-a-scam/rss-comments-entry-2602176.xmlLisa BargerTue, 18 Nov 2008 17:36:16 +0000http://www.lisabarger.com/is-it-a-scam/juice-plus.html267476:2721662:2579932“Is Juice Plus a scam?”
