[10/30/05] Dr. Richard DeAndrea has an informercial for a product called Colon Flow. It looks like he was also the founder of another program called 21-Day Detox which has had its critics and was featured on CBS' 48 Hours.
[10/14/05] Here's another infomercial that I watched on 7/31/05. Dr. Lorraine Day was pushing her product BarleyGreen. QuackWatch responds.
[9/16/05] Kevin Trudeau's Natural Cures has been outsold only by Harry Potter. Trudeau, well-known for his infomercials, is not a doctor or scientist, and has had some run-ins with the law.
[8/29/05] With Trudeau banned from doing infomercials (except for his book), what's to become of Robert Barefoots of the world. Well, I've seen the future as I was scanning the ALIFE channel late at night. There was a guy that looked sort of like a young Tom Snyder interviewing a guy who sort of looked like a young Ken Patera. It turned out that the Tom Snyder guy was Donald Barrett interviewing Scott Kennedy pushing a product called Sea Vegg, a seaweed product. Kennedy made it sound almost as good as Barefoot's coral calcium. Like Trudeau, Barrett is under fire from the FTC. Nothing on Sea Vegg at quackwatch yet. Waddayaknow? Here's an article on Barrett that apparently came out today.
