This is a big waste of money. Ken Mears has been selling snake oil his entire life.

I took this junk for three months just to be fair and give it time to kick in.

Nothing changed. Before you buy this junk you should check *** ***** background. You should also look into the history of the Doctors that back this junk and how much the Doctors make on this junk. Please people do not put more money in the hands of these scammers.

Meats is famous for his get rich quick games. I am sure he is looking for his next scam when this one is shut down.

I know someone who walked at snails pace on mornings and later on, she started using a cane as things got progressively worse and literally struggled to move. (I used to see her walk to work in front of my house almost every morning).

I used to say to myself... "poor Mary, she wont be able to walk just now".... what a sad thing to see. Lo and behold, it's been some months now and I did see her again.....

walking without cane and briskly too !!!..... I asked her what had happened and I was expecting to hear her say.. "a miracle from God"... or something like that!...

instead she said.. OMEGA XL did the trick for her.... she took 18 capsules per day for WEEKS and now she is down to six per day.....

seems like it worked for her.... i personally never used it.....

Another Preacher for Profit ... when are people going to wise up and start reading the word of God and standing against False Teachers like Dorothy Spaulding and her corrupt "36 Club" ...

The only thing you need is Jesus Christ ... She should be giving bibles away not selling pills ... Did your hear what Mears says? "This is the safest pill you can take" what a JOKE!!

what he is really saying is buy this junk and I'll get richer....These corrupt, greedy, deceitful players will one day be ceased ! God doesn't need a pill He is mighty and sovereign and is the only one who can save you....listen closely to the careful words of manipulation they use...These FAKE TV EVANGELIST should be outlawed!!!

With fish oils, you do get the Omega-3 s that you need but you also run the chance of gtinteg any of the bad things the fish have in their flesh, such as mercury, pesticides, etc.I would recommend Flax Seed Oil, you not only get your Omega-3 s, but also your Omega-6 s and Omega-9 s in the correct ratio.I use on from Barlean's which is all organic and after doing research has the best source of what you are looking for and in the correct ratios.

Omega-3 fatty acids are excellent for heatlh and lubricate the skin from the inside out. Many heatlh experts are advising against using oils that are high in omega 6s because they believe that the imbalance of omega 3s to omega 6s increases the risks of getting chronic illnesses like cancer, heart disease and several others.

They recommend that the best way to stay balanced with omega-3s and omega 6s is to get omega-6s from whole foods like nuts and seeds and to get omega-3 from fish (in moderation) and fish oil. Other foods like walnuts and flax seeds also contain omega 3s but are not quite the same as the omega-3s in fish and fish oil. Health advocates are recommending avoiding the use of omega 6 oils such as sunflower oil, soybean oil, and several others.

I've learned that the 3 major steps to get clear skin from the inside are: Detoxification (especially the liver and colon), Super Food Nutrition (raw super foods and raw fats like avocados, coconut oil, fish oil, olive oil), and Hydration (water, juicing, raw fruits, and drinking aloe vera gel/juice). Hydration and raw oils will clear your skin and moisturize it from the inside out.

Well, it sounds you need further help. You didn't state what kind of pain you have, but perhaps you should see a good chiropractor to start with.

They can really help.

Omegas reduce inflammation, but if you continue to have pain it sounds there are issues that aren't yet resolved.

#407820

Well, I just wanted to write a couple of things. First, let me say that I have never taken this product, but have some observations to make based on my knowledge of omega 3's, pain and advertising.

Any omega 3 fatty acids will have anti-inflammatory properties. You can take fish oil, eat olives, have dark chocolate, or eat nuts, and the inflammation factors go down. This is probably a legitimate effect of this product, and it is also likely that the effect varies with the type of inflammation, the amount and type of omega 3's an individual incorporates into his or her routine, and the individual's general state of health.

But, the infomercial appears to be a really hard sell, and I have to question the "protein removal" process that makes this product safe for those with shellfish allergies. I am betting this is partially or primarily regular or concentrated fish oil, though I can really only speculate because it would be unethical to test it on my human friends that do have this allergy.

On the site, they refer to it as a fish oil complex; they are probably legally required to do so if it is fish oil. After all, Krill oil is made from krill, and does not have to be labeled as fish oil.

I believe that this is probably just as good as most of the other vitamin products available in this country. The price is one problem, being pretty exorbitant. Another problem is the claims some people are making. This would be an anti inflammatory, and not an analgesic. It is going to possibly reduce swelling and aches that result from that, but it is not going to cure every and all kinds of pains.

Fish oil or krill oil is probably just as effective as this would be, though I can't say for sure. If the price ever drops to a reasonable amount, I might actually give it a try.

Do not be fooled by this product's marketing. The active ingredients in fish oil that are shown to reduce inflammation are EPA and DHA.

The other 28 "fatty acids" they talk about you do NOT need, and do NOT help you in any way. Many fish oils out there are based on research and contain 1400mg of EPA and DHA per serving. Whereas OmegaXL contains somewhere in the neighborhood of 30mg. Don't be ***.

Don't buy this... you're wasting your money.

If a product has dozens of testimonials, vague scientific claims and doesn't disclose their ingredients - it is a marketing tactic aimed at dumb consumers. Sadly, it works.

It is expensive but it did cure my arthritis and for that I am eternally grateful --

It is expensive and for many people it may be too expensive to continue to take, and maybe what you say is true but all I know is I used to have to go to the arthritis doctor every 5 months for injections in my knuckles because they would lock up and it was soooo very painful. I kept praying for a miracle and one night when I was praying, I turned on TV to a christian station and saw they talking about this product so I tried it. All I can say is thank you God, I haven't been back to the arthritis doctor in 2 1/2 years. I am telling you guys the truth. I never tried salmon oil because I cannot swallow large pills, these are easy to swallow for me so I am very grateful.

Hi everyone! I've been using the Omega XL for 3 months.

I've been having constant pain for over 30 years due to several ailments but since the use of the Omega XL the pain has lessened. It is expensive but it is worth it. You must continue to use it for the best results.

If you have a lot of pain it may take longer to take affect but gradually you will see results. I thank God for Omega XL which I first saw on the Word (Christian) network.

If it is so great like you state then why aren't all of us that have these problems cured by this Omega XL? And if it cured me, I would put my name and phone number so people could call me and I could be honest!

Come on, right now there is NO cure for RA, but eating right, exercise and taking vitamines, deleting stress, swimming, etc.

I've had it since 1993 and have done all of the above because I had juvenille RA and 10 yrs ago, I am not 10 x's worse, so I do not believe in anything put prayer. Stephanie Taylor

Omaga XL advertizes on TV about how great a product it is. It isn't!

It is suppose to fight inflamation but I developed tendonitis while on the drug for over 3 months. It has no effect at all on inflamation of the joints or tendons or any other area of the body. I do believe in taking omega 3 supplements but not Omega XL. It cost way to much and offer no benefit that a much cheaper product would give you.

I tried to get my money back but they say that since I waited past the 90 days that I could not get it back. Save your money and stay away from Omega XL.

I called to try and find out what else is in the Omega XL. On the ccompany's little add posted above the complaints, they actually say this is FISH OIL.

Meanwhile they advertise that it is NOT fish oil but some "green lipped muscle" oil from New Zealand!

They are BUSTED! plain ole fish oil that you can get wAy cheaper and with non of this auto ship *** they try to force you into or else you pay more money.

I plan on telling eveyone i know not to buy this product and the few who do to save their money.

I noticed after reading these comments that the only people that complained or had something negative to say about this product were people who did not try it. I came on here because I wanted to read the comments before I tried this product.

I'm on disability and I only get 450 dollars a month. 1 of the comments talkd about Christians pushing products...nothin wrong w christians tryn 2 help peep. Anothr guy said IF the product works, hes not goin 2 giv testimonial bout it in churh...why not? If it helps u, y wudnt u spread the word (that u were blessed enuf 2 even find this product in the1st place btw) to help others?

Made Absolutely no sense at all. Why look at it like you're pushing something at church... Who cares. The point is, the Lord blessed you and it helped.

WAY Too much negativity. I needed a lil advice from people who actually tried this product. To the people who did try this product, and left their comments thank you!! :) I dont wanna sound loud or abrupt, I really say these things respectfully, to some of the people that wrote these comments.

It's just so hard... I guess I'm just so frustrated with my health and my headaches. I suffer with severe chronic headaches for 23 years and I only turned 30 in April. Unfortunately my insurance only covers in state, and what I really need is to be able to go outside of Nevada and see some really good doctors in California or somewhere wher they will be e able to help me.

I cant work bc of these debilitating headaches, and I no longer hav the money to go out of state. My grandmother tried to help me by purchasing private insurance, and that was a lot of fun! Pre existing condition they say... insurance companies always finding loopholes after you have already bought the insurance after they already said they were going to pay for your bills, to make u pay the bill.

Then the rest of the other insurance companies like I said just wouldn't take me because of my pre existing problem. Thankfully I at least have Medicaid...but unfortunately that only covers in my own state, and like I said, I've seen every doctor you can think of Nevada including holistic medicine and homeopathic medicine. I was really hoping that maybe a doctor would take me pro bono, but I just don't know if that's going to happen or who's willing to do that. I have to have faith that the Lord will come through for me and find the resources.

just the fact that I can even say that, that I even have hope again is a miracle within itself, bc for a long time I gave up hope, and I was actually going to just give up on my life, sad as that sounds, because I jus couldn't handle the pain. But yhe Lord gave me hope again. I wrote to the Mayo Clinic to take me on like sort of a charity case, but that didn't happen. there is a headache clinic in Chicago that supposed to be really good that I would love to go to but can't afford.

Nobody nor anything has been able to help me...

I'm trusting in the Lord that somehow someway I will be delivered from these headaches...and I know the Lord has thee answer on the way. If there is anybody out there that has any information or anyone that could help me I would really appreciate it thank you and God bless :)

Drink lots of water as that helps headaches when your body is properly hydrated. Drink half your body weight in water.

There is a great book on Amazon which shows you very simple moves to "live your life pain free -- Intergrative Positional Therapy". He has helped people in pain (even tension headaches), pain that they 'be battled with for decades, which no one else could help them with.

The author is Lee Albert.

He helped me in two minutes, with sciatica pain that I had for over a year, and several physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists and even an acupuncturist could not help me with.

They are called charities.

They don't charge people for the things that are beneficial to their well being. If this product is so beneficial for people explain to me why the only time its on tv is 5am when everyone but elderly people are asleep?

but, at the end of the day, if you're going to be in business you better make money or you're not in business. If I'll make it XO interested in helping people, then they should reduce the price so the people who cannot afford this product can benefit from it.

I am one of the people that you probably called at one point. I too am now a former employee.

I will say that the product itself is not horrible, but it is a total rip off.Tthe amounts DHA/EPA is VERY low compared to fish oil suppliments that are MUCH cheaper. Many of us asked about this, as some inteligent customers asked this question of us. I could not believe the answer... "Just tell them that it is proprietary information and you can not give that out"! Says on the bottle 100mg. Company says to ignore that....it is the perna cannuliculus that makes all the difference......BS. All employees are given the product monthly, (we were give the products that were returned!) but they were still sealed bottles, kinda *** though. Most employees didn't even take the product. They give it away. That is how much Great Healthworks employees think of the product they are selling every day That alone speaks volumes.

It is true that we only made money if we twist and turn whatever we have to to get customers not to cancel. Defer your order for up to 6 months! That way 6 months later you are not going to remember and you get shipped again. EVERY call is recorded, so that will be thrown in your face if you say you did not agree....yes you did.

Prices went up a few months ago for all customers by minimum of $5 per bottle. Little postcards mailed to let customers know. Most didn't get the postcards till after the fact, and we were not told it was happening till after the fact. So, customer's bought one day at $49.95 per bottle and we tell them the next orders will be only $39.95 going forward when they are on auto ship, they are locked in to that lower price. BUT, next day the price went up. We are now liars, the customer is pissed and calls to cancel and it's the rep that takes the hit.

The employees that work the phones are also not treated very well either, if that makes customersthat feel ripped off any better. Monday and Tuesdays only 1/2 hour lunch, with 1/2 hour mandatory OT. There are NO 15 minute breaks to be had on that floor, and you had better not have a small bladder that makes you need to use the restroom more than maybe 2-3 times a day.

They will even scam their own co-workers. If you call in and order from me and then callb ack even if it is just with a question, the next rep you speak with will bump up your auto refill schedule just by a few days so you get it sooner. This counts as them "upgrading" you, and they now get hte comission for the sale. Back stabbing is a company culture there.

This is a great product. If you have joint pain and you haven't tried it, I suggest you do.

The worst that can happen is that you will try it for one month, and if it does not work for you, you discontinue the use.

Within 3 weeks of taking 4 capsules a day my pain was completely gone. I highly recommend Omega XL.

Here's the naked truth I worked there, the agents are PAID to talk you out of canceling OR THEY MAKE NO COMMISSION!

Every word is a lie. They take OVER 4 weeks to process a refund and much usually longer to inflate their balance sheets.

When they run out of product they charge the account anyway and ship it 3 weeks later by BULK MAIL. So add another 10-14 days.

If you send the product back and dont call to follow up THERE IS NO REFUND!

Stay far far away. The CFO is the business manager from the Broward County billion dollar Scott Rothstein Scam.

Product
Omega Xl Pills

Omega XL advertised anti-inflamatory pills for sale.

I did not purchase any but they still charged my bank account %19.95.

I only gave them my name and address no other info?! How'd they get the

other info?

How can I get the charge taken off and stop any more such charges?

The product involved is Omega XL anti-inflamatory pills. They are being

sold by a christian ministry organization on TV Channel HLN arround midnight or on late night TV.

I cant remember the name of the man or the lady on the program I'm truly

sorry! Could you please try to help me??????

They had a lady and a gentleman also on the program as guests.

I cant believe the comments that I've been reading why do you people continue to allow these people to go into your checking account? CLOSE THE DANG ACCOUNT geesh if that's the only thing you can do to stop them, then do it and open another account.

Just let your bank know why you're doing it. Plain and Simple

I was considering ordering this Product but with all the negative comments, I think I will pass. I have had those same experience with company's and that tells me all I need to know.

I know that the People on the other end of the phone are there to sell sell sell and keep you ordering but when the Company has a hard time refunding your money or canceling your order then that's a BUYER BEWARE enough for me.

Thank you to those of you that posted the comments to inform the general public.

Reducing or eliminating sugar products will control or eliminate pain in many parts of the body, especially jount/arthritis pain. Also, eat more raw/fresh fruit and vegetables and drink alkaline water. Amazing how dietary adjustments will turn disease into wellness.

Easy solution: Get a prepaid CC with a limit, to be used for these types of "free trials." Then thay CAN"T hurt you financially, even if it's your fault.

I tried the product and....had horrible headaches. I cancelled, returned the product and was told my refund would take 30 to 60 days????

Such a (what else than a rip-off) bunch of baloney. I accused them of possibly using my money and other customers also. I was then told (manager) that I would receive my refund in 3-5 days. That didn't happen.

I turned it over to my bank.

Good luck to you in resolving your issue with them. By the way, the price is now 59.90 including shipping.

Omega xl is a scam. I called their 1-800 number to ask the exact ingredients, specifically what is the exact amount of the touted "PCSO-524." Read closely. The back of the bottle says 

"Omega Fatty Acids containing PCSO-524

(green lipped mussel oil extract)"

A highly touted exotic miracle ingredient with no FDA evaluation is a dead giveaway of nutrition supplement scams. A well conceived scam will creatively hide the lack of true ingredients on the label; omega xl doesnt even go that far. It specifically says that each 300 mg serving "contains" PCSO-524. 

When I asked their customer service exactly how many mg of PCSO-524 is contained within a 300 mg serving, they first said "Im not sure." She placed me on hold for two minutes to find out. She came back to the phone and said 

"we dont have any literature or product info that says exactly how many milligrams of PCSO-524 are in a 300 mg serving, but we believe its the full 300 mg."

I reminded her that listed on the ingredients is olive oil which is a source of omega fatty acids. I told her with all due respect: youre unable to tell me exactly how much active ingredient is contained in each serving, I think you guys are putting trace amounts of actual active ingredient into an olive oil pill. 

She assured me that was not the case and said its definitely all active ingredient and the olive oil was in trace amounts and for easier swallowing.

I finally got her by bringing up marketing 101. I reminded her that her product has at least 100,000 dollars of marketing behind it. She agreed that they are well-marketed.  Marketing 101: communicate bankable selling points.  

There is no statement on the label, website, box, or a sales packet on the desk of their 1-800 operators that says "Pure PCSO-524." 

If each capsule were pure PCSO-524, that would be by far the most important selling point. She was speechless, and she knew she was caught BS'ing me.

Don't buy it, and please quietly  inform your unassuming friends and family who approach you with this scam so they can avoid further embarrassment.

The Omega XL website does not reveal anything about the actual ingredients or research sources - the FAQ section is a joke. There is only one patented prescription Omega 3 that doctors prescribe for heart patients - and most of those heart patients could do without it if they were willing to change their diets, learn to heal relationships and manage anger, sorrow & other stressors, and exercise 5 days a week for an hour.

Omega XL might have a patent but they do not give the patent number on the site. Looks "fishy" to me. You can easily get plenty of Essential Fatty Acids from your diet if you give up junk and processed foods, start eating nuts, vegetables, and certain fishes including sardines and anchovies. Omega XL is making "too good to be true" promises and the people on the infomercial are all very large and obviously don't eat well or exercise.

They may claim joint pain and stiffness limits their ability to exercise but the fact is they could go to the local YMCA and take water aerobics for people just like them. I personally know a 93 yo woman with terrible RA who does deep water aerobics 3xweek and stretching for older people in the water 2xweek. Look up the studies on how the "placebo effect" works - that is what is happening w/the starry eyed people you meet who claim they have found the "magic bullet" for health. THERE ARE NO MAGIC BULLETS EXCEPT FOR A VERY CLEAN CAREFULLY PLANNED DIET, PORTION CONTROL AT EVERY MEAL, AND VIGOROUS EXERCISE -PERIOD.

Although many of the infomercial and multi level marketing pills and juices actually HAVE certain essential oils and anti oxidants or whatever, they are outrageously expensive and cannot deliver what they promise any better than a good diet can. At the drugstore get a bottle of fish oil on a buy one get one free and MAKE SURE it breaks down the exact amount of EPA and DHA on the back of the bottle - if it does not, don't get it, just because the capsule is 1200 mg does not mean it is 1200mg of fatty acids. Also - DO NOT EVER ever ever ever - give your bank check card number to anyone over the phone for any reason. It is the same as writing a blank check made out to "Cash" and leaving it on a busy street corner.

If you are too young or do not have good enough credit for a credit card then you have no business buying anything by phone or online. This includes airline tickets, car rentals, hotel reservations etc because they will hold a deposit against damages and can cause you to bounce a dozen checks x $30 per bounced check. Credit cards have protections if a company charges it without your permission. The check card attached to your bank account has no such protection.

You can be wiped out and your friendly local banker cannot help you. Just because your bank check card says "Visa" or "MC" on it, it is simply not a credit card. If you give it out to a company like Omega XL or any other infomercial, magazine, email etc, etc, you will regret it. Be smart.

Most infomercials over-promise and under-deliver - so do emails form companies you never heard of. They make things sound special and different which actually can be bought at the drugstore or made at home. No matter who it is you are talking to, emailing, web site ordering, etc do not give your account number, birth date, SS# etc to any one for any reason unless you know for absolute certainty who it is and why they want the info. Some people fall for it when an "official" sounding person calls them to "confirm" their address and SS#/credit card# by giving the wrong # and will actually say "No, the correct number is....." to a perfect stranger!

I can't tell you how many people, 18 yo to 88 yo on limited incomes have ended up financially ruined because they used their bank check card as if it were a credit card or gave out personal info to a scammer on the phone or email. If you have limited funds, give yourself a weekly allowance from the ATM. Limited income and Low income people (and even some higher income people) who use the bank check card to buy a $4 coffee and muffin at the convenience store every day eventually lose track and end up overdrawn and end up paying $40 for each $4 coffee after the overdraft charges. Again, the only magic bullet for health is good genes to start with coupled with self control, daily physical activity, and a smart clean diet.

Good luck! :)
