“Worked for me.”

townsend s.
3/12/24

I have been on Heal and Soothe for about 14 yrs. It took some loading to start feeling a difference. My knees haven't hurt in a long time. Had not taken it for a long time and had a few bottles still. My shoulder has been hurting for over a yr now. Got back on H&S yesterday. Loaded up and today my shoulder feels a lot better already. I will probably start reordering soon. I didn't have billing issues and they have reached out over the yrs and sent me extra bottles. I have no complaints.

“Sneaky charging unwilling to discuss”

Nancy V.
10/23/23

I used the product during the free trial and did not find it helped at all. November 1,2022, I cancelled and was assured that my credit card would not be charged any more. Looking through my (almost) yearend credit card statement, I discovered I had been charged ongoing $16.03/month. I called them and they told me that I had omitted specifying that I wanted the 'newsletter' cancelled, not just the supplement. I said that is so sneaky, who would want a newsletter for a product that didn't work for them? It shows right on my online account that I cancelled Nov 2022 and now had now active subscriptions. Why am I being charged? I had been told I would NOT be charged any further. The woman said again I must have misunderstood. I got sucked in big time. I hope no one else does. This was a huge waste of time and money.

I have been sending messages since Febr. 12 but without any respons. Still, I've received three messages about shipments. I received the stuff' (LIVINGWELL nutraceuticals) on trial and did not register. I returned the February delivery and expected a $ 49.63 refund. On March 10, about $ 49 was again debited and the 'package' was sent back. I will return the new parcel and will ask Mastercard to stop and reclaim the payments immediately. Can anybody in Customer Service please sort out me?

I made what I thought was a one-of purchase of Heal-n-Soothe. I am disabled and do not work, so cannot commit to long-term or indeed any subscriptions. I received a notification that another order was on its way. I looked into this and the only way to cancel is to go into 'my account' and cancel it. I tried this, but apparently, I don't have an account, so can't cancel further orders. I have tried Live Chat, no one responds, sent messages all day today, no response. I have also filled out two on-line forms. Again, no response. Any further charges to my bank account will be devastating, I am already suffering as the money taken was out of my budget, leaving me without groceries this week. I am stressed that further money is going to come out of my account when no money is there, ending up with bank charges, putting me further into debt. This is not a good customer service at all. Not making it clear this is a subscription, then making it impossible to cancel further orders. Shame on this company!

Jane,
My name is Steve, Director of Client Services, for the Healthy Back Institute (HBI), I have reviewed your order and the communication you have had with us. You emailed us 6/17 12. ​20 PM and 2. ​44 PM. We responded back the same day at 13. ​44 PM letting you know your subscription was canceled and you were provided return instructions.

We are not out to get anyone or scam anyone but you have to read the terms at the time of sale, you have to read the emails we send you, you have to read the packing slip we send with the package, we explain the order and give you our contact info at every step of the way.

We have given you a partial refund but since you are disputing the charges we can not give you a complete refund.

To anyone reading this and has an issue, please contact us directly and we can address the matter one on one but once you file a dispute, it takes months to workout.

Second, Refunds can be held up by weeks or months if you RETURN TO SENDER, don't do that.

Have attempted to reset password on account to cancel order several times. No email to inbox or junk box. Tried to chat. Nobody replied. This has been going on for months. Going to query it on my credit card because the systems are obviously not working.

It seems I am experiencing the same predicament as the others wherein I receive a bottle of Heal-n-Soothe every month ( I have ordered enough for 2018 because I feel good about it), so stop sending me this from now on. Also, you keep sending me Super Joint Support but I ordered only one bottle to try it ( it seems not working for me), so stop sending me this from now on. Stop charging my credit card of this unauthorized orders.

Please reply asap.

Hey jesse cannone, are you a real person or some scam artist who has no moral fibre & sits back without any conscience stealing money from poor innocent people suffering & searching for an honest deal.
Your website is intentionally confusing... is that for the purpose of throwing people off so you can take their money before they actually discover your business is definitely a scam.
Immediately after I provided my bank details I realised from reading reviews that this was a scam & I sent an email advising I did not want your product. I did not get a response so I sent more emails & still no response. That only reinforced my belief that you & your company are DODGY mr jesse cannone.
WTH you went ahead & sent the free bottle when I distinctly advised you I am not interested. So again I sent further emails to you, angry that you had done so without my authority. Again you did not respond. I followed the instructions on your livingwell neutraceuticals letter with your photo mr jesse cannone (looks like the image of a conniving swindler who would steal from vulnerable honest poor old ladies & gentlemen who are suffering & you add to that by ripping them off). The paragraph above your photo states
We are here to support you on your healing journey. If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. You may contact us via phone, email, or postal mail.
Well I did email you several times indicating 'I AM NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR PRODUCTS'. I got no response...& lo & behold you have fraudulently accessed my bank account without authority & taken my money & allowed your warehouse minions to forward an order for tablets I don't want.
I am based in a remote part of Australia & our time clocks are practically opposite each other so its inconvenient to have to call america but since you have stolen money from my bank account & have neglected to respond to my email I rang this number *******977. An erica answered & said cancellations can only been done by phone not email... HULLO... if thats the case why didn't 1 of your minions or you jesse respond to my emails with those details. There is no where on the letter with your face on it that specifies I have to cancel the order by phone. Erica (initially I thought was one of those robot recordings) kept saying sorry maam... which sounded condescending & suspicious to say the least... also we don't call women maam in this country jesse. I requested to speak with someone in a management level. She said someone of that capacity would call me within 24-48hrs. I gave her my mobile phone number as she alluded to having no record, yet... here it is clear as god made little green apples... on the order form you jesse or your warehouse minions sent with the FREE tablets which I threw in the rubbish. Hey jesse I rang on saturday. Its been more than 24-48hrs & I still haven't received the phone call erica said I would from your? Manager.
I am thinking none of you actually exist... erica was a robot recording... the scammers that you are don't understand basic english hence why you didn't respond to my emails... you don't know how to count hence why its gone past 48hrs & I haven't received my call back as the robot advised. Or are you a bunch of blatant lying thieves as I expect.
By the way I have lodged a fraud claim with my bank. Expect your product to be returned & return my money you stole from my account.

I ordered Heal n Soothe but didn't help me anyway. How many months had passed and noticed that they have been taking USD 39.00 from my credit card even I haven't subscribed. I had to close my credit card to stop them. Be careful if you order their product online as they keep on getting money from you.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback about your recent experience with our company. We’re disappointed we failed to meet your expectations as our goal is to provide only the highest quality products, services and information with every interaction you have with us.

It appears you agreed to our monthly autoship service when you accepted your free trial. I’ll explain how to easily and immediately cancel this service below. But first, I wanted to address for your sake and those who will read your review and our response, how our autoship program works.

** How Our Autoship Program Works **

When we offer a free trial, it’s with the expectation that you’ll love the product. Most do. The purpose of a free trial is to give you the opportunity to experience it for yourself and decide before ever paying full price whether you’d like to continue using it.

For that reason, we make it easy to continue receiving the product you received a trial of by enrolling you – with your express permission – in our autoship program.

We always clearly and concisely provide full details of the autoship program in plain, regular size print front and center on the order page. Not buried in fine print. And, because we know some may still only skim the details before placing their order, we require all customers to manually select a checkbox indicating they’ve read those Terms & Conditions before ordering by disabling the Order button until they select that box.

For the benefit of all reading this review, here is the actual text we provide on the Order Form that must be agreed to before accepting the trial offer with autoship service:

Terms & Conditions:

If you're 100% FULLY SATISFIED with Heal-n-Soothe® then do nothing, and in 30 days from your order date automatically receive a Full 30 Day Supply Bottle, each and every month with SmartShip. For the low Trial-Members Only price of Just $49.95 - That's a savings of $9 OFF the regular price of $59.00.

You are under NO obligation to continue beyond your FREE Trial bottle.

If the Heal-n-Soothe® trial doesn't work for you, just cancel AutoShip within 30 days of this order, no questions asked, by simply calling toll-free

1-800-216-4908.

As you see, anyone can cancel their autoship order long before we ever ship and bill for it with a quick toll-free phone call. However, you can still easily cancel your order at any time. Here’s how...

** How to Easily Cancel Any Autoship Order **

Our goal is to send you only what you want, only when you want it. That’s why we give you multiple ways to contact our Customer Service team to modify or cancel any order you place.

Our preferred way for you to contact us is through the “Submit a request” form in our online helpdesk system found here:

https://thehealthybackinstitute.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

This link takes you directly to the form. The reason that’s our favored method of communication is because your request gets entered directly into our system exactly how you want to communicate your need to us. It also notifies our customer support team by email that you have submitted a request.

However, we also provide our full contact information, whether you wish to reach us by phone, fax or regular mail, along with our customer service hours of operation on our Contact Us page found here:

http://www.losethebackpain.com/contact-us/

You are welcome to reach us using any of these methods to cancel, suspend or modify your autoship order or with any other questions you may have.

Thank you again for providing your feedback on your experience. I hope with our reply you’ll consider amending your review.

Best wishes,

Eva Klein

Their products are natureuopathic and therefore will always be inconsistent in effectiveness. There will always be people that it will work for and others it won't. I do have to say, that the majority of reviews I have read on the internet are far more negative and neutral than positive. I do believe that the products are overly touted for their effectiveness. The biggest problems seem to be in their billing and advertising departments. Jesse has written some good books on the subject, but appears to have fallen into the get rich quick atmosphere of the internet.

Ordered the "free" bottle. Then responded to their emails directing them to cancel the next shipment. They sent it anyway. Refuse to refund my money.

BUYER BEWARE! Y... When you order product with credit card they continue to send information for which they bill you each month. Product deserves low rating for effectiveness and i felt that I was not fully informed of ongoing charges which had to be cancelled which I have done. Will see if billing stops. BUYER BEWARE!.

I actually like Jesse Canone. He's written an informative book and has some helpful methods of helping relieve back pain. I chose to try one of his products - a pill that corrects all the pain in your body somehow. It worked a little. Then I noticed I was signed up, through my bank account, to be billed $79 every month for a continuing supply of the pills. My husband and I are retired and cannot afford that kind of debt. I never agreed to a continuing supply. I called their number and they transferred me to Clickbank.com (*******035) where I told the person to cancel the order and refund me. She said, "Do you want to cancel all of these other charges, too?" I asked how many there were. She said "nine." Gratefully, she did cancel the others and I got my refund for the one they took from my account. My son told me that there is a note at the bottom of every form you fill out, in very tiny type, authorizing the company to continue to send and charge for the orders, monthly. What small type? I didn't see it. Now I look for it! It's there, under the box where you've signed up. It authorizes further charges. Don't get taken! Be careful what you order and read EVERY WORD on the form. I think most people don't even see it. You have to scroll up at the end of the order form and look for it. Not easy to see... Good luck!

I couldn't help but review this website. Take a look at these reviews and you will notice all of the positive reviews were written almost all on the same day literally within minutes of each other. Coincidence? I don't think so. You the reader be the judge on what reviews are REAL and which ones may have been written by friends or by the website owner himself. Maybe the next time someone decides to write fake reviews about themselves they Might consider spreading out the positive reviews a little more than 2 minutes apart... On the 19th I noticed like 3 reviews straight in a row all glowing reviews of this site. Hmmm...

Ordered the "free" book. Paid the $7.95 shipping. That's probably about what the P. O. would charge for shipping. Learned some things from the book, but there is an awful lot of "buy this, buy that" in the book. Don't really know if any of it would be truly useful. Sounds good, but - - - I suffer from quite severe sciatica pain hip to foot. Have spent over $1000 through standard medical approach, including chiropractor, with little relief. So I decided to give one of their products a whirl. Ordered 4 bottles of their RUBON RELIEF ($79.90). Have used 3 of the 4 trying to determine if there is any benefit. Opinion - Snake Oil. If I receive any relief at all from this stuff, it is not at all apparent to me. To top it off the bottles come with plungers which are supposed to dispense the cream, but do not work at all. So much for quality.
