If You Bought a Secret Cure Disease Ebook, Any Selmedica or Increase Media Product, or Are a Victim of Perry Belcher, The Police Want to the Hear From You

Friday March 28, 2008
Important Note: If you believe you are a victim of Selmedica or Perry Belcher, or any of the "Secret Cure to..." ebook/site membership scams, you are asked to call the Shelby County Sheriff's Office at (901) 545-3268 or email them at selmedica@shelby-sheriff.org.

I have been active in trying to expose the scams of Perry Belcher whose network of companies produce a series of ebooks, as well as overpriced vitamin supplements that promise to cure a host of diseases and conditions.

Now, internet scammer Perry Belcher has just been arrested, on charges of, according to the Memphis Eyewitness News website, "computer fraud, deceptive business practices and imitating a licensed professional."

According to Eyewitness News, the complaint against Belcher says that he has done business in the names of: Selmedica Affiliates, Selmedica Healthcare, Increase Media, HealthyRightNow.com, Spring Time Herbs, Perry M. Belcher Companies, Gotcha Marketing, and AMI, Inc.

In addition to the supposed thyroid supplement Alvidar, some of the Selmedica products consumers have been victimized by include: Zymelite, Dr. Chong's Oolong Tea, ColonDTX, Cabbage Soup Diet Pill, Diavad, Vacitia, Zetinol, Candisil, Botisol, Valbien, Defamox, Episyl, Thymusil, Dexoprin, Flexoprin, Peritol, Celestrin, DiatrinH, Alvidar, Amberoz, Digestrin, Enzara, Erostat, FungRX, LiceX, Ovulex, Sumactin, Veinocal, Welatonin, Zynoxin, Avprin, Leucatin, Puricil, Zetacap, Myocil, Hyprava, Lacitrex, Viranol, Epitrex, Paravex, Aceium, Amloxin, Lexoprin, Palorin, Equitab, Rybolin, Thermoderm, SonaRX, Kryoderm, Lantrasil, Nexoprin, Altoxin, Livadone.

Belcher also has a number of websites (most begin with www.secretcureto..., www.secretcurefor... and www.thecurefor...), and they offer a $17 Ebook from "medical expert Pat Harper" (who is actually a clipart stock photo of a woman in medical scrubs). After downloading the short brochure, which typically offers information you can easily get for free anywhere on the Internet, the company then continues to charge your credit card a monthly fee. A list of the "Secret Cure" Reports From Increase Media / Perry Belcher / Selmedica's / Fake Expert "Pat Harper" include the following:

  • Secret Cure For Acne
