Not Worth It
Spent: $5,000 in Overland Park, Kansas, USA
I had been going to Fig. or Aldc as it was when I started. I was told to have 3 certain area's treated. Also told that I did not have to follow their diest plan. I have been treated kindly, I can't complain about that. However I did not notice any weight loss or any positive physical changes. I had bruising, swelling, Nausea, Diarrhea, Sore, Dizzy, Cranky, I have 6 (six) children, I don't have time to be in bed or whatever unproductive for 3 days or so. I thought that when the Kansas Board was putting the restriction on that it was a good thing. I am sorry but they have no clue what they are doing. They tell you they can't do more than an certain cc at a time and then bam they are tripling that on the 5th visit or so telling you that you will get more out of it. The only more I had was sick, sore and cranky. Who does this judge think he is? I mean hello, he claims there is no proof that this is dangerous. What about the people who now are having high blood pressure and headaches constantly after starting treatment? No deaths he says well sir it has only been 2 years give it time I am sure they will kill someone. Why because they don't have a clue what they are doing. They change what they say everytime you go in and they only refund the money in small increments IF they feel you are worthy. Also I never saw this Dr. Heibert ever. I mean come on. I am sorry but this kind of thing just ticks me off. High blood pressure can lead to all kinds of life threatening and life altering problems. Headaches are no fun to live with I have had them since April the month after I started. I have never complained until I read the judges statements. What a joke. I appologize to those this may offend.

The problem here is simple, no one wants to get in the way of business until business harms lives. I cannot encourage you enough to contact your state legislatures, state medical boards, uninformed judges and even those in Congress to share your experience. Send letters to the editor to your local newspapers and contact your local news stations with your story. Take pictures, see a doctor when you experience complications so that this can be medically documented. The bottom line is that nothing will stop the marketing unless the business can be stopped. The business won't be stopped without an imperative -- your story, or so many health insurance claims from the complications, that the insurers join in on demanding this be stopped. You can certainly report complications from "medical products" and "cosmetics" to the FDA in an on-line reporting system. But, since FIG doesn't have FDA approval for the drugs they are injecting into you (and yes, despite what FIG will tell you these are drugs, they are claiming a metabolic change), they technically are not regulated by the FDA. Regardless, file a problem with the FDA, and hopefully someone will take notice. Just visit the FDA site
