A site that is supposedly dedicated to helping people avoid so called online health scams but it would seem that there is a personal vendetta of some sort underlying the motif of the site. Sites like this are very dangerous because they masquerade as an informative helpful source of information when in reality they are there simply to fulfill their own bottom line.

What about the liquid product called "ZANGO" ??

Chris O. Well, he/she/it certainly isn't "the internet's official health watchdog", nor is that his/her/it's "job". That's just baloney. But there's nothing wrong with wanting to be anonymous, or to make money from alerting people to scams and pointing them in the right directions. And there's nothing wrong in principle with wanting to help people who might otherwise be likely victims of many of the scams out there.
It seems apparent that some good advice is being handed out here, and some readers are being helped by it. However, it's important that we differentiate between medical and non-medical advice; the former should not be accepted or acted on if it doesn't come from a medical professional, and there appear to be no medical professionals here. This is all personal opinion, and should be treated as such, however accurate it might be.
As long as people understand that, and are happy with "Henry" making some profit from sales of his recommended products, and don't mind him being anonymous and not having to declare his finances, then that's fine. Any allies in the war against online scammers are always welcome, as long as they don't turn out to be scammers themselves. I can see why you'd be concerned, though, and thanks for bringing it to our attention. It's certainly an unusual site and one I'd want to approach with my eyes open to what I'm reading.
Bobby K. I will agree that a site without real medical authors evaluating other health products is not very useful. That said, it does seem like it is for a good cause. I will admit I am as guilty as the website owner in think I have an "internet MD" because I know how to google CLA and read WebMD :P
