I have just received one of the flyers for Atkinsons Dead Sea Patches. The return address is:- Dr. Atkinson Bodycological Research Centre Freepost CCRI no. 4400 8570 VA Zurich The Netherlands. If you are planning to use them, i would be really interested to know if they work.

I received a mailing about it as well but someone threw it away!!!! AHHHHH! if anyone finds the website let me know as I can't find it nether!!!

Many thanks and shall let you know if they are the right ones.

If they were serious, effective and not another Equiba-style operation, I imagine they would have a website. Therefore I would treat this whole thing with extreme scepticism. Or am I just being cynical about a flyer-led marketing campaign that promises extraordinary results for little effort on your part -- except laying out the cash...?

izzy_duranie, read your last comment back to yourself and imagine it was posted by someone else. Then decide whether or not to pay good money for this product!

I have just obtained the Dead Sea Patches and will see if they really work. I have done some research into the active ingredients and there appears to be some evidence that it can increase metabolic rates through treating the thyroid. It remains to be seen. Still sceptical - no website

Hi there. I have received a mailing out about these with an address which follows. If anyone has taken these please let me know if they work as I myself am keen to find out about them.

I recieved the information on th Atkinson Dead Sea patches yesterday. Is there anyone out there that has ordered them, and are using them, if so what were/are the results.

Hi Amy,

I am also from Australia and also recieved the info in the mail yesterday.

I am very tempted to try them, my brother is a natropath and says that the active ingredient works well. It is only that I don't know the company and it is all Singapore based.

I am Sydney based and was thinking of ordering 1 mth, if you are local and interested, would you like to split 2 mths supply - much cheaper.

HAS anyone tried this - what results?

There are lots of negative items out on the web about the advertising of this company - but nothing about the results or clinical tests.  If you were brave enough to part witht he money and get the patches DID THEY WORK?

Atkinson's dead sea fat-burning slimming patch does not work at all.  I have used it for 2 weeks and nothing happened.  The advertising is very cunning.  Firstly, the flyer said you could lose up to 6 kgs a week without diet and exercise.  Once you have ordered the patch, it came with another flyer saying that it could only work with diet and exercise.  I have been on a diet and exercise everyday for months so I can't see that I have to exercise more or change to a stricter diet.  I used the patch for 2 weeks, not a single kg has been lost.  I have been thinking to ask for a refund as the flyer promised, but because this product is from overseas, Singapore, so it doesn't look optimistic.

I have been game enough to part with my money and received the patches today. I will keep you informed as how they work. I also have more contact details if anyone wants to look further or ask the company questions:

Email: [email protected]

Phone No's: (Malaysia) 02 6743 3816, (Australia) 001165 3743 3816,   (New Zealand) 0065 6743 3816.

I hope this helps some of you. I will keep you updated.

Hi there, I just got the mail out for the dead sea patches too. Very tempted - Especially as it is Guarenteed or you money back!!! No risk really... but why no more info or website? I'm going out on a limb and ordering today. Has anyone any feed back yet on if they work or not?

Hi all,

I just got the Dead Sea Patches forms in the mail. Was wondering if those that bought it were brave enough to do so by credit card??? Also, for those of you who have it, is it working, or is it a scam???

I'm from Sydney, Australia,and would really appreciate anyone who has bought it letting me know the results. I'm very tempted..but wondering if its just too good to be true!

Hello all , well my wife was keen on this Dr. Atkins 'Dead Sea Patches' to help her lose wieght and asked me dig into it a little for her. Here are my findings on the subject and 'good doctor' found in as little as 10 mins googling and searching.Whilst the ingredients(though only one was listed, that being Kelp) are indeed found to be beneficial to a persons health and metabolic process , i would take issue with the pamphlets highly dubious claims that once using these patches , that absolutely no special diet or exercise need be undertaken by the user! This of course flies in the face of common sense and both medical and scientific fact!

During my quick investigation into this i found the following item.

Complaint (misleading) from a UK consumer to the UK SRO, ASA, concerning a direct mailing from the Netherlands featuring slimming products, �The Atkinson Dead Sea Patches�.  The mailing  offered slimming patches, guaranteed to make the user lose 28 pounds in 4 weeks, and stay that way for the rest of his or her life, or their money back.  The complainant considered the claims misleading and doubted their veracity.  The ASA transferred the case to the Dutch SRO, SRC, according to the cross-border procedure.  The SRC found the advertisement to contravene  art. 7 (misleadingness) of the Dutch Advertising Code, and the advertiser was instructed not to use the advertisement again.  Complaint upheld, case closed.
