HGH Product Rating Web Site Scams- page 3

How Do They Obtain Their Product Ratings?

There are now numerous human growth hormone supplements on the market. Proper comparisons would cost $100,000's and would require many months of preparation and then years of actual "comparing". Even if they compared only 5 products, the cost, paperwork, time spent, etc., would be extensive.

Proper comparisons would require that each product be compared the same exact way; under the same exact guidelines and circumstances.

Also, any sort of comparison would not be seen as legitimate if it did not include measurements such as IGF-1 blood studies because it would not contain any solid evidence. The comparisons would only be based on the different test subject's perception of their benefits, and since every person has a different perception, any such comparison could not properly reflect the true effectiveness of the products compared.

Just think about it, how did they come up with the ratings they give the various HGH products?

What did they do, just ask people who have taken different HGH products how they liked the product? How could they find those people? The only people they would know about are their own customers. I am sure the sellers of the other products did not hand over their list of customer names, phone numbers or e-mail addresses, so a competitor could contact them.

Surely they wouldn't just allow anyone who visits their web site to write a product review, since anyone can write anything, whether they have taken the product or not, and of course sellers would be able to write reviews on their own products, and also on their competitor's products! Surely this is not the way they came up with their ratings. After all, we are talking about health products that are ingested into the body, not household items.

Lets say the people who own the consumer-like and product rating web sites somehow obtained the names and contact information of people who have tried their competitor's products. What could they do, ask each person how they liked the product? Is that all there is to their comparisons and ratings? What if the person didn't take the product as directed? Obviously they would not have received good results and so they may give that product a poor rating, but no product can be effective if it is not taken correctly.

Since thousands of their competitor's customer names and phone numbers probably didn't magically fall into their hands, lets say the owners of these web sites did the product comparisons and ratings themselves.

What could they do, buy one bottle of every product and have one person try every product, and then ask that person which product he liked best? That's not very scientific, is it? They could not have one person take one product and another person take another product due to the difference in people's bodies, their health, their perceptions as I mentioned above, and the way they would take the product.

To compare different products, first of all, the study would need to be done independently, and not be done by anyone who owns any HGH products. Each person in the study would have to take all the products one at a time, and the study would have to be controlled and monitored, to make sure the person took each product exactly as directed.

The person could not know which product he was taking, and he would also have to take a placebo without knowing it, to make sure he was not just receiving placebo effects, otherwise, the studies would not be fair and accurate.

Most importantly, blood measurements of the amount of human growth hormone in the body just before and just after taking each product would have to be done. Such a comparison would take several years to complete because each person would have to wait several months in between taking each product to let the effects of the previous product wear off.

Of course the people who own the product rating web sites won't give you any specifics about how their comparisons were done or how they came up with their ratings because it is all just hype.

It would be much easier and much cheaper to have proper independent randomized double-blind placebo-controlled IGF-1 clinical studies done on their own product, then they wouldn't need to claim that they have done comparisons on many products. Clinical studies measure patient's blood IGF-1 levels, which are used to measure the amount of human growth hormone in the body.

They won't have their own product properly tested with double-blind IGF-1 clinical studies, which is the only testing method the medical and scientific communities recognize as legitimate, yet they expect you to believe their web site that claims they have had many different products compared and rated.

So, a more believable explanation regarding the product rating, review and consumer-type web sites is this; sellers have made these web sites to help them sell their own products. They give their sites independent sounding names and URL's so visitors will believe that some independent source has compared different products and chose their product as best.

Some sellers even purchase ".org" domains so they can make their site appear to be an organization. Of course anyone can put up a .org web site, even if they are not an organization. I myself own the domain name www.hgh-pro.org. I bought it to keep others from using it.

These days they can purchase a web site domain name for about $28 a year, and they can host that web site with a virtual hosting company for about $4.95 per month or even less. Considering the fact that the cost for search engine pay-per-click advertising for HGH keywords can be up to $5 per click, building such a web site that appears to be an independent consumer site, and having that site say that your product is ranked #1, is really a very cheap way to advertise. That is why so many of these sites are popping up.

If you are wanting to know which human growth hormone supplement you should choose, don't fall for such an obvious scam, look to see which products have had legitimate IGF-1 clinical studies that are independent. You should also make sure the names of the doctors who did the study, and the facility where the study was done, is listed in the study report (names that are legible). Independent randomized double-blind placebo-controlled IGF-1 clinical studies are the only medically accepted way the effectiveness of human growth hormone pharmaceuticals and supplements are evaluated.
