I just sent a reply to Mikes latest marketing-email.
This guy really makes me mad.
Here is what I said:
I am sorry, Mike. But your claims sound totally outrageous.
What I will do is research the possibility of your marketing, including the Squidoo-lens you have set up where you encourage people to quit their life-saving medicines in favor of your "cure", being misleading and damaging.
I do not deny that there are ways to combat depression and bipolar depression. I do claim, however, that what you are doing is immoral and can be construed as putting people where suicidal ideation is more common than not, where suicide is often attempted, at severe risk.
I do hope you have a lawyer that is as solid as your account with authorize.net. I do hope you have made a lot of money from your "cure" and from the other online ventures you talk about.
You really ought to be ashamed of yourself, Mike. If it is true that you have lived through and successfully combated Bipolar disease the least you could do is to offer a free review-copy to one of the Psycho-Babble participants under promise of them not revealing the exact nature of your cure.
But I guess losing that money is more important to you than anything else.
Regards,
(my full name).I received a formmail informing me that a reply may take up to seven days from "[xxx]", and am looking forward to Mikes reply.
I may add that I have researched multiple interventions for BP. Many of them have offered me relief, and most of them have been offered by people who come across as generous and compassionate. I have looked at physical therapies, diet, nutrition, various therapies ranging from Reichian Vegetotherapy to group therapy, kinesology (sp?) and more.
I understand that Mike needs to make money. Who doesn't? But he does not come across as any of the practitioners I have met.
The Squidoo-lenses I talk about is at http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/TerriCoolGirl . The claims by this Squidoo-user all leads to Mikes website.
He talks about side effects of various drug-therapies. I am sure that many of us, including me, can relate to this. And this makes it even worse, especially in light of the Terms of use-page of his site ("the information offered here is only for entertainment" or something).
I notice that I am getting more and more grumpy as I write, so I will shut up now.
Be well, all
MerryP
