A skeptic finally believes the reviews!

Never had roaches before - turning on the kitchen  light at night and seeing those suckers running made my stomach flip and my knees weak. I'm not the neatest person there is, but I'm not a pig either!
Followed directions and after two weeks ALL ROACHES GONE !!!!! I brought this in April 2016 (now 9/17) and used one syringe full. Have never seen another roach since those first two weeks, and I live in an old house! I almost forgot I ever had a problem until I just saw it listed in my previous Amazon orders. Store remedies don't work! Be at peace in your own home, try this product. 20 bucks is not a lot compared to the effect this has. You don't have to believe me - try it yourself, because what have you got to lose? I'm sure you've spent a lot more than twenty dollars before you found this site.

I am skeptical of devices that seem too good to be true, which is what I thought about this product. And it's pretty much why I left it sitting in my kitchen for a couple of months (and not trapping any mice at all, because I detest snap traps more than anything). I flat out didn't believe that this trap would be effective. Well, after getting very tired of hearing a couple of mice scurrying through the house over the past couple of days, I finally baited this trap and put it down where I knew mice were traveling in the kitchen. Lo and behold, last evening, when I got home from work, there were two mice in the trap! I promptly took them for a ride and released them. When I returned home, I cleaned the trap, baited it again and returned it to where it worked before. I am completely pleased with this trap, and recommend it to anyone who would prefer to avoid snap traps, glue traps or other methods of trapping mice.

Total skeptic but it actually worked! My couch hasn't looked this good in years

At first, I thought someone was finally onto something and I knew I would find an answer! But, the more I read, the more I felt I was being duped! Not the first time that has happened. Probably won't be the last. I'm afraid that desperate people will desperately fall for the scam. If damaged brains are the problem, most of the world has damaged brains.

I was a huge skeptic but was rather desperate for anything that would help. Have had multiple foot fractures, surgeries and ankle reconstructions and it had become painful to walk. These actually do what they say - relieve pain. I'm impressed and it takes a lot to impress me with things like this. I am a medical professional so by nature a skeptic of things out of the mainstream practice.

I just received my copy of Behe's new book and am now working through it when I get time inbetween classes and lab work. It is already clear to me that many reviewers on Amazon have not read it very carefully, if at all. I have not yet checked the omnipresent claims of "errors" and "taking quotes out of context" claims but I did spend much time checking about a dozen similar claims made about Behe's last book, and found all of the claims were, without question, wrong. It appears that either reviewers are making claims about Behe without checking their facts or, more likely, are repeating claims that they have heard from others and irresponsibility assuming that these claims are valid. Judging from my experience, I am skeptical about the barrage of claims made about this book and, so far, my reading has supported this supposition. In addition, in my experience all nonfiction books contain mistakes (I know mine have) and my concern is "are Behe's main points correct"? As I have taught at the college level for several decades now I have found it very interesting to compare new editions of cell biology textbooks with the older ones. An example, only one of many, is the number of genes in humans was commonly once given as 100,000, and in all cases this was stated as empirical fact (one text, I believe by Watson, gave the number as 200,000). Then the number was usually given as around 32,000 and, more and more often now, as twenty some thousand. My concern is much material in, not only textbooks but other books on science, is presented as unassailable fact when it is not. For this reason, I stress in class that all textbooks (and all books) have mistakes and many statements given as fact are only our best current estimate. Many of the criticisms against Behe are irrelevant to his main argument, and many are a matter of opinion, As soon as a book comes out in favor of Intelligent Design the character assassinations flow against the author. One reason I became interested in this subject is the poor quality of the arguments against ID. A good example is the statement "Ken Miller has brilliantly refuted Michael Behe's mousetrap model of `Irreducible Complexity." He has done no such thing, and such a statement indicates the poor quality of science education in America. In my judgment the quality of education in Europe has now far surpassed that in America. It is also free to qualified students, as is medical care.

So typically I avoid, or at least look askance at any product that has a "cult" following.  So often this cult is compromised of some folks so convinced that the extra money they spent equals quality or value that they are blind to obvious shortcomings, and of course there are also the followers that don't want to admit to a mistaken outlay of cash.  SO, I end up very skeptical.

Now I didn't buy this Vitamix here at Amazon, I was pretty convinced that there was a likelihood of a quick return.  SO instead I found the 5200 at Costco for $379.  Great big stack of them available too.

Well, lets get on to the review,  Cliffnotes, it's AWESOME go buy one now.  This may come as no surprise to Vitamix owners but it's so rare that a modern product lives up to the hype that I was just floored. The YouTube videos and online reviews were helpful but so overwhelmingly positive that I simply shelved them as "fans" and had to find out for myself. Glad I did.

First thing I did after washing the container was crush some ice, and just like on YouTube, I had snow in little time.  Then it was time to make the first smoothie.  Ingredients, Apples with seeds, pear with stem, pineapple with the core, fist full of spinach, and some ice.  Stunned, in about a minute I had one of the best smoothies I've ever had, clean up was another 1 minute affair and done.  Smooth as could be, amazing taste and consistency, all with little food prep, and super easy clean up.  As a bonus, it was nowhere near as loud as I was expecting.(I know the Blendtech sounds like a router)  Make no mistake, it still sounds like a vacuum cleaner on your counter top, but not as bad as I thought it would be.

So far, Smoothies, Salsa, and blended adult drinks(awesome), all came out great, though the ice cream failed, clearly I did something wrong.  But being able to toss in whole foods, seeds and all and have a perfectly smooth tasty product in just a minute or so is wonderful.

So, my final verdict.  If you're on the fence between one or the other (Blendtech VS Vitamix) there's no competition, this based on a series of reviews on YouTube, (just search for Blendtech VS Vitamix) and first hand verification of results with the Vitamix.  If you are dragging your feet on shelling out a stack of cash for a Vitamix VS any other standard household blender then stop.  Go ahead and take the plunge, it is head and shoulders above the Breville, Kenmore, etc. brands found in the department stores.  I had gone through 3 other blenders over the last few years, and nothing worked like this.  To top it off, this is actually made in USA, and has a 7-year warranty, nice.

In Summary, I'm not a "raw foods", Vegan, or Vegatarian zealot.  I'm a skeptic who wanted a way to increase my intake of fruits and veggies to round out a diet of Sushi, Steaks, cheeseburgers, etc...  Typical "eat what I want" kind of guy.  SO I am able to think clearly without bias, and say that even in a normal healthy household, without the specter of Vegan/Vegetarianism this thing kicks butt, and will help me increase my intake of greens and fruits without question.

5-stars.

For all of the unbelievably amazing reviews, I'd expect *some* results with my dog. Nothing. Sure, results may vary.

Some things to note before possibly wasting your $ and (more importantly) your pet's health:

See anything unusual about these raving reviews? Notice how VERY DIFFERENT they are from all across Amazon? Just about every one has a long, dramatic story, compete with photos. I find that very suspicious.

Some reviewers truly do have long posts, incredible stories, and pictures, of course. But nearly every reviewer?! Those stats aren't realistic.

If this product were truly that much of a miracle...
1. It would've had SOME impact on my arthritic dog.
2. It would be available someplace other than here. In fact, every vet & pet store would be clamoring to carry it.
3. Vets and other professionals would be raving about it, too! In person. Not just these mysterious reviewers.

After trying this for a month, I discovered another supplement - Missing Link. I knew Missing Link was sold in the stores, but my dog is allergic. :-( Turns out they have other varieties sold by Amazon. 3 days with Missing Link, 2 wks without GlycanAid... I was so shocked to see him jumping to greet me at the door that I forgot he's not allowed to jump. He hadn't been jumping for months. He's still not allowed to jump, but now he tends to forget why.

I'm a verified customer of both products. This was a waste of $40 and a month of my dog's life. I'm so thankful that I quickly discovered Missing Link. It's hard finding supplements for dogs with allergies!

There is a review of this book which, in my experience of Amazon reviews, is unique.  The reviewer refers to a review by arch-debunker "A. Gibson" (note - some people refer to those like Dawkins, Dennett, Randi, etc as "skeptics" but i think this gives skeptics a bad name. When it is clear that someone is only interested in fining means of defending materialist/physicalist views - it is proper, I think, to call them a debunker rather than 'skeptic', which has the implication of the individual being thoughtful)

I agree with the reviewer, and suggest to all, if you want to understand what Sheldrake is writing about, look at A. Gibson's review.  It will give you a very deep sense of what Sheldrake has been battling for years, and will even help you understand the irrationality behind the recent TED banning of Sheldrake's TED presentation (one of the world's most fanatic debunkers, Jerry Coyne, is one of those behind the TED banning).

"clap" "clap" "clap" "clap" x x x x x x x x x x x x @#$#$@#@#@@!!!$$$$

Look at Gibson's review then read Sheldrake's book

(and please, be skeptical - of this review, of Gibson and of Sheldrake - "skeptical" that is, in the sense of having an open mind)

OK, so I am pretty much a skeptic about everything, and honestly, pretty cynical. This book has been free for a few days so I downloaded it, back on the first day. I figured it'd be more of the same crap you see a lot of in ebooks: heavy on typo-laden endless success stories and light on actual methods of how to get there.

I can honestly say this book is really good at helping you figure out goals and working your way toward them (and kudos to your editor). This is NOT a "get rich quick (or even slowly)" book, but more of a "set your goals and achieve them" book.

Much respect to you, Michael Marani. You did a great job!

I have only been on this diet a week but am quite happy with the results. I'm not looking to lose a ton of weight but it's hard to lose in general for me. 5 days on this program and I lost 3 lbs. I was ecstatic. (Decided to only weigh once a week)

The negative reviews are very misleading.. one says something along the lines of eating bagels and losing weight won't work.. but it's a very specific type of bagel! It's not the ones you get at your bagel shop. And I also felt skeptical until I actually tried it. My mom was making fun of me for saying I'm on a diet and eating so much until she noticed the slight change in my legs/face within the week.

There is merit to the costliness of switching to organic foods. But if you're going to spend money on anything... shouldn't it be your health? This program pushed me to look at ingredients and research some of the items I commonly eat. I'm actually disturbed that there are things in my food that are illegal in other countries.

Don't try this if:

1) you're looking for a magic way to lose weight without putting work into it
2) you don't believe your health is worth the extra dollars
3) you're someone who can't commit

I've already decided that I'm going to probably extend the 28 days and to incorporate this into a regular routine for the rest of my life.

You shouldn't knock it until you try it. I'm glad I didn't! Whats the harm of trying it for one week? I initially told myself to only do two weeks and it surprised me. I feel like I'm losing weight healthily and got the book at the library after a coworker said she wanted to try it. So that initial commitment didn't cost me.

I was very sceptical about this product being able to do what it says - however, I am excited to say that it does indeed deliver what it says it will do!  I am a fan of this charger!

Since I was educated and worked in the scientific field, I was very skeptical about this book. But, the book does what it says, my PAIN is gone! Despite the naysayers citing reasons based on lack of scientific method, proof, etc., the bottom line is: NO MORE PAIN! "The proof is in the pudding."

Just read the book.  It makes sense and explains what is behind most types of PAIN and how to rid yourself of your PAIN. It is a "nobrainer". No pun intended.

WHETHER ITS A SMALL TOPIC, OR LARGE, PEOPLE LIKE ME ARE SKEPTICAL AT FIRST, ESPECIALLY AS THIS GIVES US TIME TO MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHAT WE REALLY BELIEVE REGARDING AN ISSUE OR IDEA. I BOUGHT THIS BOOK BASED ON REVIEWS. AND I MUST SAY THAT I REALLY LIKE HOW MIKE GATHERS ALL THE INFO REGARDING PHYSIOLOGY, NUTRITION AND METABOLISM ALL IN ONE. AND IT MAKES SENSE TO ME AS I AM A REGISTERED NURSE AND UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC. I MUST SAY THAT THIS INFO MIGHT NOT BE CONVINCING FOR ONE WHO IS NEW TO BODYBUILDING, DUE TO MANY VARIABLES, e.g. EXPERIENCE WITH SUPPLEMENTS, WORKING OUT FOR YEARS AND TRIED DIFFERENT THINGS, ETC. SO FAR, I AM CONVINCED THAT MIKE'S PLAN DESCRIBED IN THIS BOOK WILL HAVE AN IMPACT IN MY LIFE AS WELL AS MY WIFE'S. I AM EXCITED TO SHOW MIKE MY BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES.
-THANKS MIKE.
