Posted 29 April 2012 Does Ultima Fat Away result in weight loss? Well there is certainly not a shred of evidence that it does. Here is an old ASA ruling, which followed an arbitration by Prof Tessa vd Merwe, where she ruled that “After considering all the documentation before her, Prof van der Merwe submitted that these claims could not “be substantiated based on scientific studies.”” And considering that the company is still selling this product years later, with the same unproven claims, suggests that one cannot trust ANYTHING that this company sells. Ultima products, owned by Tim Shead, sells their product in Dischem and other outlets, and online. I think that it is an affront to consumers, to the ASA and to Prof Tessa v.d. Merwe that this company continues to abuse the trust of consumers in this way. Read the devastating arbitration report. The ASA … Read the rest Posted 26 April 2012 Consumer complaints were lodged against a Boiron laboratories television commercial as promoting the product Occilococcinum. The voice-over states, “When flu symptoms appear, take Oscillococcinum immediately”, “Take Oscillococcinum immediately for the relief of flu symptoms” and “Oscillococcinum, homeopathic medicine from Boiron laboratories”. In essence the complainants submitted that the implied efficacy of the product is unsubstantiated and misleading. The complainants explained that this product is nothing more than duck liver and heart, which has been processed, and then diluted to a measure of one part liver/heart extract to 100200 parts water (100 to the power of 200). As such, there are literally no heart/liver molecules left in the final product solution. What’s more, there is no evidence to show that consuming duck liver/heart has any effect on the flu. The ASA ruled in favour of the complainants. … Read the rest Posted 25 April 2012
In a previous posting on StemEnhance, I pointed out how our research found high levels of arsenic and microcystins present in the product. This article highlighted in New Scientist, reports that “ARSENIC is a carcinogen that packs a double punch: cells that it has made cancerous send out signals that in turn make healthy stem cells become malignant.” … Read the rest Here are articles and ASA rulings against the Chris and Jasmine Grindlay

Seems like Solal are simply unable to learn from their mistakes, nor from changing their vexatious attitude to the ASA, or those laying complaints with the ASA.. This attitude and approach clearly reflects directly on the personality, ethics and morals of the directors of Solal, and therefore, can one trust them at all?
