Complaint Review: Purity Products

I heard the infomercial on the radio for Everstrong. I sudder from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, so this product, which is supposed to provide energy, endurance and muscle tone improvement sounded pretty good. I called for my "Free" bottle and I asked about its effect on the kidneys because I have only 50% function. I was told that their had been over 50 clinical studies done on this product with no side effects on the kidneys and that I would be able to tell within five days if it was helping me.

I paid the shipping cost and received a 2 week trial bottle. After 1 week, I saw no improvement so I called again, talked to another agent who told me that the first agent was wrong and that it takes 30 to 45 days to see improvement, and that most people order a second bottle when they make their first order, which I did not. I decided it was worth a try since nothing else has worked to lesson my daily fatigue and lack of energy. I continued to take the product. 2 weeks later, I was sent to the lab by my rhumetologist to take a kidney function test for another medication that I was taking taht doesn't effect the kidneys per se, but if my function goes below 50% , then I have to cut way down on the use of the medication that I take for Chronic Fatigue syndrome.

I received a call from the doctor on a Saturday, so I knew it was going to be bad news. He told me that my kidney function had diminished significantly down below 39% and my creatinine levels had gone from 1.2 to 1.7 which in terms of danger is like an earthquake going up each tenth of a point. He asked me if I was taking anything new, and I told hime about the Everstrong. He told me to stop immediately and go back in three weeks to take the lab test again.

I called Purity and reported this, and a third agent said she was sorry to hear, but she could sell me another product for a lot more money that would detoxify the kidneys. Are you kidding me! I hung up and called back asking to speak to a supervisor and told her the whole story. She said they were not medical professionals and could not take any resposibility for the negative effects that their products might have on their customers. If I hadn't been lied to by the 1st agent regarding the possible effects on the kidneys, I wouldn't have even started the product in the first place.

They just want to make a sale and will say anything to do it. The supervisor was as uncaring as one could be. I did further research on the product and found out the main ingediant can cause kidney failure and even death. They should know this about a product that they are pushing on infomercials and programs on the radio touting the safety of this particular product. If I hadn;t gone for a kidney test when I did, I could be on dialysis now or even worse.

The discalimers put on the bottles saying that the supplements are not regulated by the FDA allows them to sell potententially deadly products to unsuspecting consumers and take no blame for the consequences. I should have read all the complaints and poor ratings of this company before I ever ordered anything, but they brag about their great ratings and reviews and I believed them. You might as well buy something off a street drug salesman for all the good it does to buy from a company that doesn't seem to care about their customers and just want to make money. Don't be fooled by the testimonials and lies perpetrated by this company. Some produicts may be innocuous, but some of them can be deadly, and they don't seem to care!
