Would like to hear fm anyone who has sent money in to find whole thing is Five Finger Fraud...
-misrepresentation
-of a material fact
-intended to induce reliance
-induces reliance
-causes damage (loss of money)

if want to get real technical, the promo messages that ask for email in return for report that promises cure but in fact is just more promo meets the above criteria...giving up value as in your email in reliance of phoney promise can be argued to be in violation of wire fraud (ever see Tom Cruise in The Firm...Grisham tale...uses simple law to take down big time operators...)

so anyone also who has sent email address to this fraud also could meet the above criterion...

> Sorry - I haven't sent the CD back yet

Fred Potter: Did you sign anything stating that you would not share the information from the CD? If not, why not share with us the bottom line of the "3-minute Cure" ?

If you still 'own' the information, and it's not 'top secret', this is a good opportunity for others to save their money by telling us what its all about. And the author would NOT gain future income! I'm curious if he is providing THE 3-minute 'cure', or telling people about a 3-minute medical procedure.

I DID visit the website, read all of the babbling, and still had no idea of what he was offering. Several days later, I received an email from him to 'reconsider' purchasing his 'cure'! I don't remember that I GAVE my email address, but he had it.

Hi Cindy,

I am sorry for your pain and difficulty. You may want to try EFT (an acupressure-based technique)to work with your depression symptoms; it is free to learn, and some people have had excellent results with it.

You can watch an introductory video and learn the procedure here: http://www.emofree.com/

Best Wishes,

My trauma started about 33 years ago, but within the past year alone: I was in a vehicle accident with a semi-truck causing health complications; I then lost my job of 15 years as a legal secretary; I then lost my 26 year old daughter the day before her birthday, a mother of 4 small children in a fatal one car collision/rollover; being trapped on the outskirts of the aftermath of a tornado that another one of my daughters', a mother of 5 children, was directly in the middle of (needless to say I walked through the debris to get to her as officers would not let me through); accusations of unfaithfulness by my husband, severe enough to result in my leaving the house and having to cash in almost all of my retirement for living expenses and a vehicle. By the way there is more, but I won't bother you with the di minimus details.

I bought the CD, and found some of it interesting; I think some of the material is related to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

The advice or techniques are probably useful as part of an overall toolbox to help deal with depression, but in my opinion, it doesn't qualify as a "3 Minute Cure", especially for biologically-based depression.

"3 Minute Depression Cure" is certainly more marketable than "Useful Advice to Help You Manage Your Depression Alongside Diet, Exercise, Supplements, and Medication".

I don't consider this a scam, because they refunded my money when I returned the CD, and because it may be helpful for some people, but I didn't think it was worth $97.

Noddy, Thank you for an interesting perspective; would you have kept the CD if it had sole for, say, $25? And, as with most things, there cannot be a 'CURE' unless we alter our behaviour - would you agree that that is an important ingredient? Thanks in advance. Kaffy.

Hi Kaffy,

It was less about the CD being $97 and more about it not being a "cure" (in my experience); if the CD had been advertised as a useful addition to existing treatments for depression, then sure, I might have been willing to pay $25 for such information, though I probably would have gone out and bought a book instead, since I can at least browse it before I buy.

Now, did I REALLY expect that something advertised on the Internet for $97 would be a magical cure for depression? No, not really, but I figured I'd risk it on the small chance that there was something new and wonderful here, and they did issue me a refund --- no questions asked --- so I can't complain.

As for your comment on altering behaviour, I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that altering behaviour is a necessary part of effecting a cure, or that a successful cure will result in alteration of behavior?

Thanks,

Noddy

Noddy,
Thank you for your explanation of your experience; I can understand same. I also would rather peruse a book - or many books prior to deciding which one, if any...
My comment: I guess I was 'thinking out loud' - and am thinking that our approach to finding 'cures' are a result of any/all of: medical, mental, physical input/thought processes, practice, etc., all of which in my experience have had the outcome of a change in behavior. My behavior changed with medication - some good, some I just needed to live with; mental, either due to self-realization or with assistance of a professional who knew HOW to help, and physical, either by stopping a bad habit, or doing exercises, changing what we can do for ourselves, either socially or other input. Not very well put, but it's the old "action-reaction" put in other words. So, yes, I believe that SUCCESS, or the REACHING for it does make for a change in behavior...and vice versa - it is WE who must CHANGE or ENDURE a change to obtain that hoped-for cure. I did not intend to make my words seem that they worked both ways, but in writing this, I think it is so. We pay a price even when we are NOT heard (NO CHANGE)- that is the saddest part. I am so tired of not being "heard", or needing to tell my story to too many people before I find one who can relate, and also is in a position to help - then does, with as much commitment as I have, in needing to be well. Sorry about all of that "stuff".

Hi Kaffy,

Everything you wrote makes sense to me. I think there are so many different factors involved.
I too get tired of not being heard or of not finding someone who can understand or relate.

I used to hope that I could overcome everything and be "normal" (whatever the hell that means). Then I felt there was no chance for me to overcome this, which made me feel even worse. Now I think that this is something I must live with, but maybe I can learn to live with it and still have good and useful things in my life.

Depression is bad, but to me, feeling helpless about depression and powerless to change is worse, so I think it is best to keep working on change and healing, and even if I'm fooling myself, at least I can give myself a goal in the meantime.

All the Best,

Noddy

Noddy,
WOW, My sentiments exactly!
Re: "Depression is bad, but to me, feeling helpless about depression and powerless to change is worse" That *helpless* feeling is horrible for me, because I can be a 'control freak', and have always expected, or set goals possibly too high. ...but then, my parents also expected near-perfection (from my viewpoint) from me, without understanding my restrictions of depression, which they did not pick up on, and my attempts at telling "a little" was attributed to "growing pains", etc. So, since around puberty, I've 'lived with it', and managed to have a successful career - but I certainly would have enjoyed it much more had I not needed to work so hard to overcome the 'demons'. I'm now trying to put some of this on paper for social security people, but they want doctors' documentation, etc. ...yeah, like every complaint, although consistent, has been documented?! It took 20 years for someone to finally test me for sleep apnea! And the response I get when I tell my doc that I find myself holding my breath during the day is "why?" - as if I do it on purpose, for the non-high from lack of oxygen. No, I think I'd choose another form of suicide, thanks. She knows that I 'think' about it, and asks periodically, but I tell her I'm too nosey for 'tomorrow' to do anything - that I'd fumble anyway, ha ha. I think the idea of suicide is more of "stop the world, I want to get off", until I can get myself and my environmet squared away - then I'll take on the problems awaiting me, but please, take a number!
Wow, am I lying down on the imaginary sofa or what? thanks for listening, and letting me get this OUT! I am Kathleen in PA, and glad to know you, Noddy. I welcome responses/impressions/remarks to my rantings...I think we have more insight to this shared present from Hell than those without it. But answers? No, just a day-to-day struggle to be what we know we can be.

I just sent a reply to Mikes latest marketing-email.

This guy really makes me mad.

Here is what I said:

I am sorry, Mike. But your claims sound totally outrageous.

What I will do is research the possibility of your marketing, including the Squidoo-lens you have set up where you encourage people to quit their life-saving medicines in favor of your "cure", being misleading and damaging.

I do not deny that there are ways to combat depression and bipolar depression. I do claim, however, that what you are doing is immoral and can be construed as putting people where suicidal ideation is more common than not, where suicide is often attempted, at severe risk.

I do hope you have a lawyer that is as solid as your account with authorize.net. I do hope you have made a lot of money from your "cure" and from the other online ventures you talk about.

You really ought to be ashamed of yourself, Mike. If it is true that you have lived through and successfully combated Bipolar disease the least you could do is to offer a free review-copy to one of the Psycho-Babble participants under promise of them not revealing the exact nature of your cure.

But I guess losing that money is more important to you than anything else.

Regards,
(my full name).

I received a formmail informing me that a reply may take up to seven days from "[xxx]", and am looking forward to Mikes reply.

I may add that I have researched multiple interventions for BP. Many of them have offered me relief, and most of them have been offered by people who come across as generous and compassionate. I have looked at physical therapies, diet, nutrition, various therapies ranging from Reichian Vegetotherapy to group therapy, kinesology (sp?) and more.

I understand that Mike needs to make money. Who doesn't? But he does not come across as any of the practitioners I have met.

The Squidoo-lenses I talk about is at http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/TerriCoolGirl . The claims by this Squidoo-user all leads to Mikes website.

He talks about side effects of various drug-therapies. I am sure that many of us, including me, can relate to this. And this makes it even worse, especially in light of the Terms of use-page of his site ("the information offered here is only for entertainment" or something).

I notice that I am getting more and more grumpy as I write, so I will shut up now.

Be well, all
MerryP

Welcome! And please remember not to post anything here that could lead others to feel accused or put down or to disclose without permission information that identifies them. Even if you disagree with what they're doing.

But please don't take this personally, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person.

I encourage anyone who has questions about this or about posting policies in general, or is interested in alternative ways of expressing themselves, to see the FAQ:

It seems that deceptive practises are being used to market the $97 3 min depression audio CD.

There are half a dozen hubpost pages by "JR_King" that don't ring true and all point to the 3 min cure selling page.

Other posters have said that he tries to create urgency by claiming that the page is in danger of being removed.

If you have a lazy $97 it might be worth a try. I did read that he honours the money back guarantee.

I am suspicious, not of people who are selling something, but people who are not upfront that they are selling something and/or secretive about what they are selling, and although I was curious, his site set off all my caution alerts.

I'd be interested in hearing some positive feedback.

I sent his mail to him:

Hello Mike!
I´ve read a lot of posts in different forums against your cure, and almost
all of them are complainig about the high price. If you really want to help
somebody, why only the richest of us? I believe you would have been much
more popular and that you can sell 100 times more if you set down the price
to 30 - 40 $ which is a normal price for a self help cure. There is a reason
why cheap supermarkets sells more than others and make billions of dollars
very fast. I think your high price only will hurt your reputation.
There are millions of depressed people in the world, but only a few of them
have enough money for this cure. Do you want that only rich people shall be
happy? It doesn´t make sense....

I didn´t get any answer and he kicked me out of his mailing list.... Only rich people who are willing to pay are welcome in his party...

I will for that reason encourage people who know what the cure is, to reveal it here. Let us show this person that we don´t like this kind of bad business.

I have actually bought Mike Freeman's The 3-Minute Depression Cure. I live in South Africa and it cost me approximately ZAR750.00

I have been suffering from depression for 7 or 8 years now and was on anti-dpressants (Effexor & Paxil) for over 30 months. I no longer take anti-depressants - stopped about 75 days ago. Rather, I have been taking the following outlined approach:
1. Supplementation, diet and lifestyle in alignment with Patrick Holford's Optimum Nutrition for the Mind;
2. Working with a 'Life Coach' since end October 2007, and
3. A number of personal endeavours in developing self-awareness & actualisation.

It is within point number 3 above that I came to purchase and am using Mike Freeman's The 3-Minute Depression Cure.

I wish to validate (in terms of my understanding of life) that the content and approach that Mike Freeman has taken in The 3-Minute Depression Cure is truthful and accurate. I feel that I have received a fair and equitable exchange of value and would recommend it to anyone who feels that an improved understanding & self-awareness can help them.

Mike Freeman's approach to marketing may be a little overzealous, however, I do not believe that alone warrants such negative posts as made by some of the people in this regard.

How does one really put a price on ones happiness and wellbeing anyway?

Thank you, my Best Wishes & Life's Blessings for each of You... DMV

DMV, you have not answered the request for *more detailed information* on the 'approach'. This Forum is meant to SHARE information & help one another. Would you please take the time to do that? In doing so, someone else just might give it a try.

DMV also said: "How does one really put a price on ones happiness and wellbeing anyway?"

DMV, included in the *price* is the opportunity to discuss, one-on-one WITH our PHYSICIAN, who explains issues and treatments to us, and we also have the opportunity to ask questions until we are both satisfied with the best course to take.

I am willing to pay 'whatever' for that! I do not purchase anything in a brown paper bag, not knowing what is inside. Even Cracker Jack (tm) "prizes" give you some carmeled corn, and you know you're at least getting that.

If you are here to add significant information, please do so. Thanks.

> I think DMV is a "friend" of Mike or in worst case maybe Mike himself who want to promote this product on this site.

Please don't jump to conclusions about others or post anything that could lead others to feel accused.

But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person. And DMV, I'm sorry if you felt hurt.

I encourage anyone who has questions about this or about posting policies in general to see the FAQ:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforce

Follow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.

Thanks,

Bob
