NEW MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGH!

In a major medical breakthrough, the scientific community has at last
developed a powerful, fast acting weight loss compound that virtually
eliminates fat, flab and cellulite!
The powerful bio-active ingredients in NEOFORM-3000 work by "short
circuiting" the fat building process before your body can turn excess
calories into figure destroying fat.
Now this amazing weight loss compound is available to the public without the
necessity of a doctor's prescription. No matter how man times you have tried
to lose weight and failed before - you will reach your weight loss goal this
time!

ever thought possible. More than you have ever lost with any other
product or program, just return the empty bottles and we
will promptly and cheerfully refund 100% of your money.
GUARANTEED 100%
NEOFORM-3000 LETS YOU..
Eat all you want and still lose weight
(The formula "bonds" with food, preventing aborption of much of your caloric
intake.)
Lose weight whether you exercise or not.
(Because your body is absorbing less, it "burns" fat, flab and cellulite for
energy)
Keep your pep without getting jittery.
(The formula has no dangerous stimulants, no harmful side effects, no
chemicals)
Melt away flab... and keep it off.
(Most diets fail because they require ongoing discipline and will power.
This formula does't.)
PLEASE NOTE: Because NEOFORM-3000 is so effective at removing ugly deposits
of fat and cellulite and because NEOFORM-3000 has absolutely no harmful side
effects, some people tend to over do it. Do not allow yourself to become too
thin. If you start to lose weight too rapidly, reduce your tablet intake or
skip a day or two. Also, before starting any weight loss program you should
check with your physician to be sure you are in normal health.

I would assume that MBE lawyers might want to investigate this company that
uses one of their company's MBE locations in our nation's capital area.
It also may be of interest to the Competition Bureau and Health Canada's new
Natural Health Products Directorate. The NHPD is in charge of regulating the
natural health product industry. This product, even though it has a secret
ingredient(s) has to prove that its claims are true, even for weight loss.

A new diet scam is advertised in Smart Source, the coupon insert usually
distributed on Saturdays as an insert in major Canadian newspapers.
This one was an insert in the Calgary Herald, and features a product called
NEOFORM - 3000 with cheques and money orders being directed to 1769
St.-Laurent Blvd, Suite 118, Ottawa K1G 5X7.
There are no ingredients listed anywhere in the advertisement. Usual
pictures of a model, this one is eating french fries with a glass of red
wine.
No phone numbers, no other ways of contact other than the address which
looks like a mailbox.
