    My husband and I went to a weight loss hypnotist and spent $400.00 on a 7 week supply of the supplements they recommended. The hypnotist (Mark *********************** claimed that all these famous athletes used the General Sciences TrimAM, TrimPM and carb blocking supplements. They made claims that there was scientific research proving their effectiveness and purity.I just used AI to research their claims and it couldn't even locate any studies that were done and/or any of their claims about these products. The General Sciences web site looks like someone's grandmother attempted to design it. Obviously, we were ripped off and God knows what we've been putting in our bodies. Scary.********************************************************************

    I attended a workshop in Virginia just for fun. I have been hypnotized in the past so it was intriguing. First, the positive, the "trainer" was quite skilled at hypnosis. On the negative side: I immediately saw red flags when he told us that we should use a tanning bed or go outside at noon without sunscreen to increase vit D. The NIH does NOT recomend this. The presenter said he had been a nurse for over 40 years. I truly doubt that to be true. The second red flag was telling a participant who said she has kidney disease that it is fine to drink protein shakes daily (no disclaimer to check with her physician). Then when he presented the fact that he was selling supplements, he introduced it by saying he found this great company and that just this week they gave him a deal to pass on to us. Then under the influence of hypnosis which he assured us is real, and based on my previous experience probably is, he placed the suggestion we should buy his supplements and not worry about the cost because it's for our health. No wonder their BBB rating is F. I did NOT buy their supplements so I can't speak to those other than to say the trainer assured us that if we take them we will lose all kinds of weight.

    i attended a mark patrick stop smoking seminar on 1-7-24 in covington la. the whole thing is a scam. they sold me vitamins before the hypnosis and i did not get hypnotized and left with a stronger craving for a cigarette than when i arrived. i would not have purchased afterward. they know that, that's why they sell them to you before hand. i have not received any e-mails or anything from Mark Patrick seminars. but received e-mails from the vitamin co. to order more vitamins. i am now out $250.00 dollars and still want to smoke. what a joke. i got scammed. any one looking in to this- STAY AWAY

    Mark Patrick seminars guarantees weight loss through hypnosis and a money back guarantee if not satisfied with the results. They have a support hotline you can call if you need help. They then refer you to an e-mail address you can use to describe your problem. The address comes back as undeliverable. I call back and they give me another address with the same result. While at they seminar they also tried to sell me a line of vitamins as part of their program, which was never mentioned prior to the seminar. Since the seminar not only have I not lost weight, but have gained 10#. Glad I didn't waste money on the vitamins, but I want them to refund my $50 and honor their guarantee. As far as I'm concerned, this is just one big scam!

    Biggest ripoff going!. They push buying pills, that are ineffective and very expensive. I have actually gained weight after attending and taking the pills the narrator insisted would be very effective. Don't waste your money!
