i do have several more statements i need to clear before diet doc sues me. or at least that is what they are saying if i don't cease and desist. i wrote her back and said: "even if i wanted to remove it, ripoffreport.com won't allow anyone, even the authork to remove their post." she wrote back saying to the effect: i'd better do something by monday morning, 'cause i'm gettin' sued."
so to clear up anything that might be used against me: the statement i said about inquiring as to why the "diet didn't work," i said they will tell you, "you cheated." actually they will not tell you this, because this would be bad for business...they told me many times that was what the customers did when being unsuccessful on their diet. i'm sure they say something nicer to the customers than that, where they intimate exactly that. but i apologize i should have said they told me, when i asked them what should i say "if customer complains they lost no weight?"
addtitionally, i did my research as far as debunking the hcg diet, and wrote copious notes. one page had opinions of the mayo clinic when asked is it safe and effective? their answer: no on both counts. that websites notes were right next to notes i'd made from a nutrionist on the gutlessinseattle web site. they are the ones that said: "run don't walk away from this diet." so i apologize for any confusion. owner may argue that they are not using the hcg diet. they are using a "modernized version" by their "team of doctors." it still is only 700-1000 which is still considerably less than the recommended caloric intake to stay healthy.

follks, i'm being ordered to take down my post or i will be sued. i would take it down to avoid legal issues but ripoff report won't allow that. so all i can do is apologize for any false information i wrote. but i would like to state it was not done out of malice, it was done by mistake. the owner, julie wright, wrote me and basically said everything i wrote was untrue. well that is categorically false. i wrote what i saw, and heard to the best of my recollection.
but to clear up any falsehoods, i will start with doc nishant rao. according to a california website for naturopathic medicine, nds can prescribe hormones, vitamins and herbal remedies. i just wrote hcg. so i should have written "hormones" instead. julie wrote in her email that he can prescribe the same as any md. i was not aware of that. perhaps he is an exception? anyhow, i'll give julie the benefit of the doubt. secondly: even though vitamins and herbs are not considered "prescription meds" a doctor can still prescribe them in higher dosages. thirdly, julie stated in her email to me that they did a poll and ninety-five percent of her patients expressed satisfaction with the product. well, maybe that is true. but from what i extrapolated from speaking with patients over the phone, many were not happy. many had to quit for health reasons. many quit because it was just too hard; they claimed they were hungry all the time. a few admitted cheating. many had some success, but also claimed they quickly gained it back, and hence, therefore, ergo, were ordering more and more, going off and on the diet. i'm pretty sure all the research i did said going off and on a low calorie diet and hcg was not a good idea. the fact is the overwhelming majority of experts do not think hcg works and that the diet can even be dangerous. that i can say--with relative certainty--i did not mistakenly report that. julie thinks i wrote this because i was a "disgruntled employee." so? any customer that gets ripped is disgruntled. i never lied and said i was a customer. just because i worked there, automatically means none of it is true and i merely wrote it for revenge? yes, i was fired. but believe me, i was planning on quitting anyway. the work environment was hostile and i did not feel that they cared about their customers. many customers complained to me about this. i did my best to assuage their frustrations, feeling frightened the entire time that i would "get in trouble" because i was "not selling."
the rest i wrote is my opinion. i'm sorry if the owner thinks it was untrue. my opinions are not untrue to me. i was even accused of exhortion by her attorney. what? i thought that meant money was somehow involved. i don't want any money. i know some ex-partner is purportedly "blackmailing" her, but that is not me. i do not want to ruin anyone's life or do anything illegal. i was just expressing my dismay, like the many patients i dealt with the short time i was there. i was also accused of stalking. i did not know writing a report on ripoff report.com was "stalking." or to write an email to julie expressing the pain i suffered by her was considered stalking either. i mainly continued to work there to see how much stress i could take. kind of a way to toughen up since i had not worked in awhile. that i did get, but it almost broke my spirit as well. thank you, and good day.
