I came across an ad while on a website for a book called Tomorrow's Cancer Cures Today by Allan Spreen MD. It was subtitled 25 secret therapies from around the world. I am very into learning more about alternative medicine and have read quite a few books in the area. I paid 39.50 for the book, which I realize is insanely high but sometimes these books contain awesome information. I was shocked when I received the book by how small it was. It had the basic information that anyone can find out by doing a little research- nothing new or secret at all. 


I'm writing this so people will not get suckered by this scam and waste money if they come across this ad. At $12.00, the book would be worth it, at $39.50 it is a big ripoff. I checked and the company is in Baltimore and use 20-30 different names and puts out many worthless publications. I will contact my credit card and stop the charge and return the book. I felt compelled to put the word out on them so no one else gets burned.

Our reviewers comments are not in relation to the books content so much as they simply expected more in volume for the money they paid and 

May have judged a book not by it cover but the size of it !

This book will not impress by its appearance, but by its content.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS YOU HAVE BOUGHT THE RIGHT BOOK.

IF YOU ACTUALLY HAVE CANCER....YOU HAVE THE RIGHT BOOK  NOW FOLLOW THE RECOMMEND COURSE OF ACTION OF FOLLOWING UP WITH ONE OF THE INCLUDED DOCTORS WHO CAN RECOMMEND A MD / HEALTH PRACTIONER IN YOUR AREA THAT PRESCRIBES LIFE.....NOT DEATH.

Yes with a lot of searching one can come across the offerings of the book online but this compilation provides some convenience and peace of mind THAT THESE OPTIONS ARE IN FACT ENDORSED BY PRACTICING MDS, with RESULTS UNHEARD OF BY MODERN ONCOLOGY'S OFFERINGS OF KILLING CANCER BY A MEANS OF SATURATION OF THE PATIENT WITH  CHEMO AND RADITION - KNOWN CARCINAGENS !

I GIVE THIS BOOK TO ALL OF MY PATIENTS WHO FIND THEMSELVES LOOKING AT THE OPTION  OF BY DEATH CANCER OR DEATH BY CANCER AFTER SUFFERING FROM HEALTH CARES BARBARIC OFFERINGS OF CHEMO, RADIATION AND SIDE EFFECT INDUCING MEDICATIONS.....THERE IS ANOTHER WAY !

The book needn't be any larger to cure the worst cancer ..."bigger is better" is so American.

If you have cancer this book is priceless at any price. I buy them of Ebay for pennies on the dollar.

THE OTHER BOOK YOU MUST LIVE BY IS " LESSONS OF THE MIRACLE DOCTORS " by Jon Barron which should be owned and used by everybody. Again not a large book but every page provides a moment of sobriety, packed with information that's  impowers the reader to over come all health related setbacks, offering hope if simply followed.

Every patient who has recieved this book cannot stop speaking of its life changing power !

I equate these books as allowing the reader to "Look behind the curtain" if you will and see the potential that exists if the human body is properly equipped.

 

THE COMMENT " the company puts out many worthless publications" IS WAY OFF BASE CONCERNING THIS PARTICULAR BOOK !

As to the rest of their offerings by this publisher I WONT PRESUME TO KNOW AND HOPE THE PRIOR READER speaks with some authority without no other agenda.

 

CHOO

He's still up to his old tricks at sites like http://moneymorning.com/ .  Doom and gloom, selling survivalist crap, still making unauthorized credit card charges.  His motto is still "Fear sells"...and it works better when you lie!  His stock and trade is a sidebar advert on a respected website about how "Russia's Attack on the US Currency", then actually shows you a story where "Russia may be...", and it's obvious they aren't- cut to the pop up selling survivalist gear.  These people need to be publicly hung by the balls and flogged.  Their rebuttals really show how much simply looking someone in the eye and lying is what they do for a living.  WOULD YOU GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD? Never, if you've an ounce of sense.

"I find these kinds of complaints useless."  Says it all.  Forget old style customer relations, this is the gen X age where customers exist to give you an income.  Pure solipsism.  "I find these kinds of complaints useless."

I'm writing this because I was researching all the incredible crap published by William Bonner, Jason  Great (the aforereferenced "Jeet"?) and Jason Pell.  Pell's about to retire, started the business, Agora Publishing Inc., and what they do is engineer IT solutions to pump out online rags- except they've never printed a worthwhile word.

Stupid conspiracy theories, bad logic, discredited theories are their stock and trade.  Today one of their rags is cackling about the US economic "death spiral".  Oh, and they have some stuff to sell you to deal with that.

Total freakin' internet crap.  

Age isn't an issue.  These guys might as well be gen X.  They think the world owes them entertainment, a cushy living, and their major skill that they're going to market is the ability to look you in the eye and lie.  These guys have never done an honest day's work in their live and you're not going to inspire them to start.  Avoid!

The comment about HSI, Health Services Institute, was dated Jan. of 2010.  It is Dec. of 2011 now, which is almost 2 years since this report.  What is the latest word on this group and is it possible to find out particulars about the research they claim has been done, rather than just the unsubstantiated claims?

I find these kinds of complaints useless.  I read some glowing reports on Health Science Institute so I decided to go on line to do some research.  This scam report was the first thing I came across.  The scam the writer describes concerns the price he paid for a book, a book he says would be worth $12, not $40.  If the info it contained was bogus, the book would not be worth $12 or 12 cents.  He sates he has read many books and the knowledge in the book is standard that can be had by doing research.  But to one who is extremely well versed on the topics, as the writer claims, might find the info ordinary, a novice may find the info extraordinary.  Maybe the writer should have done some research to find out what the book contained instead of bellyaching over the price and discrediting the organization.  I plan to write a follow up after I get to do some more research.  I am going to research every doctor that is part of HSI and will be back with my discoveries.  However, for now HSI - one; crybaby scam writer - zero.  As a footnote, this kind of post makes me wonder if it is written by someone involved with the drug industry that will lose if natural cures are allowed to supplant their products.
