The FTC has moved against one of the people recommended by Tony Robbins in his "Greens" business. Alejandro Guerrero (a.k.a. Alex Guerrero). (A "Dr" of Chinese Medicine).
Robbins recommends Alex Guerrero, and also says "Alex is the closest thing to a genius I have seen" in his current program called "Get The Edge".
What a relief. These guys are finally feeling the arm of the law.
Its good the FTC acted against them.
Robbins also sells his own "Greens" product.

Preliminary injunction bans "Supreme Greens" infomercial.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has won a preliminary injunction
[
www.ftc.gov] against Donald
Barrett, Direct Marketing Concepts, Inc. (DMC) and ITV Direct, Inc.
(ITV), as part of the FTC's case alleging that defendants deceptively
marketed their dietary supplement product, Supreme Greens with MSM. A
U.S. District Court judge found that the FTC has demonstrated that
Barrett, DMC, and ITV likely made numerous false and unsubstantiated
claims in an infomercial promoting the product and probably made
unauthorized charges to consumers' credit or debit cards. The
preliminary injunction, which prohibits the challenged disease claims
and any asset dissipation, will remain in effect pending the outcome
of a trial on the FTC's allegations. [FTC obtains preliminary
injunction against marketers of bogus cancer-cure "Supreme Greens."
FTC news release, July 1, 2004]
[
www.ftc.gov] Last month the FTC charged
that Barrett, DMC, ITV, and their business partners had deceptively
marketed Supreme Greens through a widely aired infomercial, claiming
that the product can cure, treat, or prevent cancer, diabetes,
arthritis, and heart disease. [Marketers of "Supreme Greens" and
"Coral Calcium Daily" come under fire from the FTC. FTC news release,
June 3, 2004] [
www.ftc.gov] The preliminary
injunction prohibits these claims. Five additional defendants --
Healthy Solutions, LLC and Health Solutions, Inc., and their
principals Alejandro Guerrero (a.k.a. Alex Guerrero), Michael Howell,
and Greg Geremesz -- have signed stipulated preliminary injunctions.
In April, the FDA sent a warning letter to ITV.
