Kansas Medical Clinic Shekhar Challa Racketeering scam! Possible FDA violations? Topeka, Kansas
I am a slightly overweight man and have tried a handful of diet and exercise techniques over the last few years, in hopes of burning off a few pounds. I saw advertisements for the so-called "natural weight loss" plans of Shekhar Challa and became hopeful that this treatment would be different. Not only was it ineffective, however, but I believe it made me sick, and could possibly have done serious damage to my physical well-being.
I utilized this treatment and saw zero results in terms of weight loss. But more troubling is the fact that I have felt extremely sick ever since taking the treatments. In fact, I believe that the treatment has caused damage to my health and am afraid of the possibility that I may not be able to be fully restored.
Shekhar Challa and this clinic are running a scam that is not only dishonest but highly dangerous! I am thinking seriously about filing a class action lawsuit against them, and hope that anyone else who has been scammed by this will join me!

Dr. Shekhar Challa has been with Kansas Medical Clinic for over 20 years and is its President. He is a Board Certified Gastroenterologist. Kansas Medical Clinic and Dr. Challa do not treat obesity and do not treat patients for weight loss. Therefore, whoever posted this information posted a falsehood with no basis in fact.

I wanted to make sure all of my comments here were clear, simply so as to ensure that the truth is told about this dangerous and irresponsible clinic and that no one else gets hurt like I did. I visited this clinic and was seen by the founder, owner, and practicing physician, Shekhar Challa, who I am convinced is a ripoff artist and a scam artist doctor. My complaint was about the tough time I had had losing weight, and he put me on something called Slim180, which he said to be a powerful and effective tool for rapidly and safely burning calories.
Unfortunately, the medicine made me extremely ill. I took it completely according to the directions and almost immediately had feelings of nausea, followed by intense vomiting. I continued to suffer in this way for a full eight days after taking the drug. I can think of no other reason why I might have gotten sick in this way, and have spoken to others who have used the product and also became very sick-- some of them worse than I was, in fact.
I also wanted to provide the full details of all the clinics where this scam artist doctor, Shekhar Challa, practices, as there are several of them, but all of them are equally dangerous!
