Stimulife 750 Essay - 2936 Words

Stimulife 750 Recently, another weight loss supplement has stepped into the ever-increasing market. This drug, called Stimulife 750, is a supposedly all-natural herbal supplement that promotes weight loss without any effort from the client. Both the parent company – Stimulife International – and various distributors of Stimulife 750 make bold blanket statements such as â€Å"Stimulife 750 has everything good and nothing bad,† which set the success of the pill far higher than is possible. Furthermore, these individuals attempting to sell the product use a variety of marketing techniques to encourage purchasing the supplement; however, they provide no scientific evidence to support the claims they†¦show more content†¦Following the link to â€Å"The Stimulife Story,† one can read of the founder and origins of Stimulife 750. (Again, it is interesting to note that the main image on this page is a thin, exuberant woman standing on a scale – assuring the v iewer that s/he, too, could be so happy and thin if s/he were to purchase Stimulife.) The company first assures the viewer that the product is a safe and healthy â€Å"herbal† alternative as compared to the other weight supplements on the market. The company supports this statement by describing Stimulife’s founder, John Fike, as a hard-working, knowledgeable fitness-expert who wanted to deliver both his parents and the world from weight problems and from the evils of weight-loss supplements. Fike supposedly applied computer technology, fitness expertise, case studies, knowledge of herbal medicine, advice from numerous chemists, and a true compassion for those suffering from weight problems to create Stimulife. One must really wonder how one man, who was not a doctor or scientist but a man with a career in â€Å"weight training and kickboxing† could accomplish such a staggering financial and scientific feat. Surely, there is more to this story than the com pany tells. The website continues on to say, â€Å"Two Stimulife 750TM caplets provide the nutritional equivalent of four servings of fresh vegetables.†
