Kevin Trudeau Claims FDA is Hiding Positive Benefits of HCG Hormone

February 19th, 2011

HCG Hormones and Kevin TrudeauIt seems like everybody likes a little scandal and controversy and what with all the tabloids and entertainment/celebrity tv shows like “extra” and “tmz” focused on just that it is made readily handy to us. And when it comes to diets and diet fads there definitely is no lack of scandal and the gossip about it.

The HCG weight loss program has no lack of such things when it comes to how and if it works. But the controversy in the HCG program has taken on a new face and that face belongs to Kevin Trudeau.

If you take a look at Trudeau’s past it seems scandal and controversy follows him where ever he goes nowadays with many lawsuits due to misrepresentation of products on his infomercials. The interesting part is that the controversy that Trudeau has brought to HCG has been more beneficial than not.

Comments about HCG Hormone Diets

The first aspect of the controversy created by Trudeau was how he rocked the boat a little bit with statements from his book “The Weight Loss Cure “They” Don’t Want You To Know About” in which he has made claim that the FDA and drug companies are secretly trying to keep people from knowing about the HCG hormone and it’s help in weight loss in order to benefit themselves.

Be it true or not, Trudeau’s book has brought a bit of a revival to the HCG weight loss solution. Unfortunately, the controversy has not stopped there. It seems some of Trudeau’s skeletons have returned from the closet and, once again, he is being brought before the law for deceiving statements made about the HCG diet plan.

Tyler, Texas Drywall and Texturing: Your Contractor Knows His Stuff

August 18th, 2010

There are many things you should consider when choosing the type of drywall that is best for your Tyler, Texas home, but how to hang it probably shouldn’t be one of them.  Consider the different thicknesses available, how much fire resistance is offered by each, and even the amount of thermal insulation one thickness will provide compared with another, but leave the process of installation to someone who knows what they are doing: your contractor. You may call professional drywaller and texturer Javier at 903-248-7227 for a free quote over the phone. Drywall is heavy and drywall is fragile.  This does not make for a user-friendly installation, particularly on ceilings where one must strain against gravity to position the drywall just right without losing balance or grip on the drywall itself.  Start cutting out sections to fit around windows and electrical outlets and you’ll soon discover why wise homeowners leave this job to the professionals. Since you are going to hire a contractor to install your drywall, why not have them go ahead and finish the job while they are there will a little bit of drywall texturing.  Texturing can add a great deal of beauty and visual interest to your walls and ceilings and is relatively inexpensive.  Talk to your drywall contractor to see if this is a service he can perform for you. You may call Javier at 903-248-7227 for a free quote over the phone. Javier is a professional home remodeling contractor who has worked on several Tyler, Texas home remodeling projects at very affordable prices.

Fushigi Ball, Is it Amazing or What!?

July 24th, 2010

The Fushigi Ball infomercial actually is very controversial among the hard core contact juggling artists that do this on the street, sidewalks, subway, etc.

They feel as though an infomercial guru and large manufacturing plant in China is attempting to rebrand their art form known as “contact juggling” to “Fushigi”.

They also believe that they are hoping for these commercials to create the new Hackie Sack phenomenon among emo and wolf pack teenagers in highschool.

This fad would than spread throughout the world as Fushugi instead of it’s proper name, “contact juggling”.

Wow! The controversy has me dumbfounded as I would have never imagined there was a pist off “contact juggler” out there crying fowl.

Has anyone in Tyler seen the Fushigi Ball on TV? There is an ad spot on kids TV channels showing this amazing ball.

They say things like “Gravity Defying” and other amazing language.

All it is is a metal ball incased in a transparent bouncy ball type inclosure.

There are several adults and kids on the commercial moving these balls around on their arms and hands and exclaiming how amazing they are.

What the commercial doesn’t tell you is that these people are all skilled “contact jugglers”. I don’t think I could roll a basketball down my arm very well and definitely not a rubber bouncy ball with some metal in it.

The balls seem to have a little bit of a gyroscope type of movement.

Is this ball worth $19.99? Heck no! I don’t think the infomercial is going to make any money although when they use the infomercial to launch their product in local Walmart’s as well as our very own Tyler Walmart I think they will make some serious money on this.

For whatever reason people love new and different ball creations. I gave personally been the recipient of those balls that have goo and smaller balls inside them with netting on the outside.

I have broken a couple of them in the process of playing with them. I think I only paid 99 cents for these balls. I don’t think I would have paid $19.99 for the experience of squishiness.

Would I pay 19.99 for the therapeutic feeling of defying gravity on my hands and arms? I would not but I might pay 99 cents for it if I saw it on the “as seen on TV” section at Walmart in Tyler.

These infomercial guru’s may very well create a whole new hackey sack type of phenomenon and we will see these things everywhere.

Tyler TX teachers will be taking them up in class along with hackey sacks, yo yo’s and the all new glow in the dark Fushigi Balls.

Jack O’ Diamonds in Tyler

July 2nd, 2010

When shopping for cars the most annoying thing about the shopping experience is definitely the salesmen. I hate that the moment you drive into the Jack O’ Diamonds parking lot you are immediately bombarded by men trying to get you to buy a car before you even have a chance to park.

We have been looking around for a car lately, and decided to hold our breath and deal with the annoying salesmen at Jack O’ Diamonds. They have cars in all sizes. It is a great place to look if you want a car for your family that gets more than 15 gallons of gas per a mile.

The car lot has many different makes of cars for sale. You can buy Lincoln, Mercury, Honda, and even can find a few Fords there. Personally I love the look and make of a Honda. We came looking for a car that was able to fit more than two car seats and that would not empty our wallets because of the horrible gas mileage.

Not to our surprise we were immediately approached by a salesman before we were able to park. They asked questions before we were even able to get out of the car or get our children out. Once we really explained that we wanted all these things at a price that would fit our low budget, the salesman was extremely helpful, and surprisingly was not pushing us to get way over our budget.

He showed us a few cars that were exactly what we were looking for, but we needed to discuss the purchase a little bit longer before we went ahead and bought the car. We were very impressed by how the salesman was not extremely pushing to make the decision and respected our need to sleep on it.

Although we did not purchase a car that day we will be going back in hopes that we get the same car salesman and find the car perfect for us. Finding a car is extremely stressful and I think that sales men should help you make a choice and not put more pressure on you that are unnecessary.

Sadly, usually the salesmen are more pushing and frustrating at Jack O’ Diamonds. Even as we were leaving, another salesman yelled after us, asking why we did not find what we were looking for. Hopefully if you are looking for a Tyler car you will have the luck we had!

Davis Green Auto Body and Paint Shop

I recently had the unfortunate incident of backing up my car into a red stationary poll over at Andy’s Custard in Tyler while backing up to turn out and on to Broadway. My all time favorite icecream in Tyler is Marble Slab but sometimes the convenience of a drive through that Andy’s offers is much better. So I put a little ding on my car’s bumper that caused it to have a little bit of an outie. This ding was messed up plastic and gave a really ugly mark on what I consider to be an awesome looking car. I had to do something about this right away as it is just too nice of a car to let that stay. bmw Crash Needs Auto Body Work

I know how much auto body work costs and have taken a few cars to an auto body and paint repair shop over the years and listened to the estimates. The estimates can be pretty brutal. I actually have never been to an auto body place where the estimate was under $2,000. My ding on my bumper was about one square inch but my estimate came to around $800. I decided to pay them out of pocket rather than file an insurance claim. I really don’t want my insurance going up over a stupid thing like this. I told Davis Green auto body paint and repair in advance that I would be paying for the body work out of pocket and not from insurance. I recommend anyone considering paying for the repairs yourself to mention this at the beginning like I did.

I assume auto body repair places are not supposed to adjust the price based on if you have insurance pay or you pay yourself but it is always good to let them know. My estimate ended up being right about $800 and they offered me a full auto detail for $26 extra which I decided would be worth it so I added that to the final price. $800 is a whole lot of money but I have a nice car I saved up for over several years and I really wanted to keep it in tip top condition. You can imagine how bad I felt when I slowly backed up into a pole protecting a trash can box at Andy’s. It was not a good feeling. I did not see it and by the time my car alarm sounded that I was getting too close it was too late.

Now I am $800 shorter in change but Davis Green did an unbelievable job. You cannot see any damage or discoloration after they finished with my automotive. Davis Green auto body shop had to remove the bumper, melt the plastic, sand, prime, and repaint over the damaged area and you cannot tell that it had gone through any of this. If you need a good auto body shop in Tyler Texas I would strongly recommend you try Davis Green. They are certified in BMW auto body work which is the car I had to take in to have fixed.

Some Tyler Texas auto body shops I have been to are not the most honest people and in my case I have seen some outright insurance fraud when I was younger with some of the things these places were doing. Davis Green body shop never indicated any bad behavior or potential for insurance fraud. This auto body shop in Tyler TX is honest and professional in how they operate which you will notice as you first walk in the door. The facility from the outside is remarkable as this place has recently been built in a new location over the last 5 years and has had another addition added on during this time. Davis Green continues to get bigger and better over the years and with the knowledge that I am dealing with certified BMW auto body work and repair I feel more than comfortable taking my car there next time.

Davis Green is certified in several car and truck brands in regards to auto body and paint work. We have not been paid to refer their services on this site but simply had a very good experience with them. If you would like to give them a call their business address and phone number is listed at the top of this site.
