Address is - Institute Equiba P O Box 382 Bedford MK40 1WF I sent for pills fortnight ago but have not heard from them. Are they slow usually?

The address is, I think, correct. I also sent off for these pills, although I don't actually believe in them, otherwise they'd be a dietary revolution! however, I thought �15 was a low-cost gamble, just in case....... I also think that maybe Equiba could be a con-trick, pitched at a low-risk price to get people like you and me interested - and we'll never see either the pills or the cash again! In which case, the Advertising Standards Authority will doubtless get involved at a future date, and we'll read about it in the papers. Keep me posted if you get the pills. And if they actually work - then definitely let me know!

I have also sent for these pills approx 2 weeks ago. I have just tried to get a telphone number for them but there is not one. I have noticed that my credit card has just been debited so I am now unsure what to do. I admit it does sound too good to be true but if it does work and we do actually get the pills, won't it be wonderful!!!! If they do arrive within the next few days i will let you know. If not I will let the advertising people know.

Interesting! Actually, I'm a journalist as well as someone who wouldn't mind shedding a stone with the help of a miracle molecule. So I intend writing about Equiba one way or another. Any other information you can give me will come in very useful. But I won't be doing anything for a week or two, so hopefully more people will respond to this.

After around three weeks you will receive a letter advising that the pills are on their way and that one of their former workers has perfected a product caled Skintite - this apparently tightens the body after the dramatic weight loss, at a price - you can order the product for �13 to �28 depending on how many you want. My advice is to wait for the original pills before ordering Skintite. Apparently our order is being handled by Lisa in the "fulfilment department" and is "in the mail" and we are about to "experience a personal bliss beyond your wildest dreams"

I have not received the pills either - and I am getting concerned. I sent for mine 8th May and have had no contact as yet. Has anyone received them???

Because I'm in the US, I am likely dealing with a different group. I actually did get "the pills" today, but they don't appear to be correct. The advertisement says to take one pill every 5 days. The bottle I received had no mention of weight loss and said to take one pill daily and no other literature came with it. I've searched in vain for a phone number or a web site. To make me feel even more foolish, I've take a really close look at the original mailing with the BEFORE and AFTER pictures ... one of the before pictures is obviously distorted and in another one, the before shows a white woman and the after shows a black man. I guess I deserve this.
