Speicher Health Products... any experience, info?

Post by Jazman »

I work in marketing and one of our vendors is the PCBE (Plain Communities Business Exchange) I was glancing through the latest and and 1 pg, printed both sides mini 'catalog'/order form for Speicher's Heath Products, Harrisonburg VA, fell out. I don't have the time right now to go into great detail about the products... but hmmm, eye-brow raising, concerned wrinkled brow - all around. I also google-mapped the address given and again... hmmm.
Just wondering if the community here has any info before I go back to digging.

At least they have their legally required disclaimers at the top. "No Guarantees, but certainly worth a try." and "All health claims are medically unproven".
And then they say this: "If you eat bacon or ham, 100% certain you need this!" and 'I can see everything without Glasses.'

This stuff always reminds me of the snake oil salesmen from Mark Twains stories.

That web site looks like someone's Geocities web site from about 1994.

They did manage to get themselves captured in person by the Google Streetview photo car. Not very plain looking bunch: https://goo.gl/maps/VR1n3XWZU5rqnHk88

We didn't have internet until the very late 90's, but yet I somehow know what you mean :mrgreen:

This reminds me of the colon cleanse material my MIL used to get.... we all have 40 pounds of undigested red meat built up in our intestines that only *this* exclusive product can flush out 8-)

Ha, you did what I did with the address given on the order form... that google streetview reveals something almost diametrically opposite of what their flyer/order form conveyed... Part of me wants to be surprised that an outfit like this could even operate... but in this day and age I'm sadly not surprised. If I lived near this address, I'd really be tempted to try to meet them in person and find out what they really are, behind the business charade. Do their family/friends know they live off conning real plain people? (If this google streetview is actually revealing the people behind this stuff)

This reminded me of the Sam Girod case. Depending on when the sentence started, his 6-year maximum should be up in a year or two. It is interesting how the little warning labels make the difference between a profitable business and a prison sentence.

My bet is that they have plain background.
