Went to the Mark Patrick weight loss Seminar with my daughter in-law, which also went to the smoking seminar. Both of us feel we were scammed. I went to a license doctor and had hypnosis to quit smoking many years ago and it worked for me. This was a joke! My daughter is so stressed and depressed that this didn't work. She felt this was her last chance. They say they won't sale the supplements after the hypnosis because they don't want to be accused for suggesting it within their hypnosis. It's more like it's not gonna work, so no one's going to buy afterwards. I've been taking the sleep aide and I haven't slept in days. I wanted to give it time to work, but I don't think I can go much longer with no sleep. It hasn't helped me, not one bit. Been trying to reach out on the text they sent us, but all I get is a blank page. What a joke!

Weight loss seminar East Peoria
Weight loss seminar East Peoria, IL July 31st 2022
The seminar leader was Larry, I had a lot of trouble with following Larry, he spoke extremely fast running his words together, did not speak clearly at all, often rattling off and then laughing at what he had just said he was extremely confusing as I missed some of the instructions because of his fast talk, it was like listening to an auctioneer give a monologue, I believe in hypnosis, I wish more time was spent on hypnosis instead of the rambling incoherent monologue and less time spent on selling supplements.
The selling the supplements should be at the end of the seminar this way those of us not buying can just leave instead of having during a break whereas we all have to wait until he’s done selling.
It seemed to be only Larry running this seminar as he seemed to be entirely alone, he was dressed in a dingy cap and a long sleeve tee shirt with printing on it, he could have easily been mistaken for a janitor at the motel. He had a microphone and an easel with a paper display in which he flipped about 3 pages during the entire seminar, it appeared as though it had been used for several years, just seemed he was operating out of the trunk of his car.
With all the advertising Mark Patrick seminars does I expected a higher quality experience in the way of presentation, appearance and material. I expected a speaker that would speak clearly for all to understand, I expected a slide show for educating purposes, I expected professional appearance.
What I experienced was that Larry was very hard to understand due to his rambling fast speech and laughing at what he had said, which I might have found funny if I could have understood what he had indeed said, I found him dressed unprofessionally, found the material to be lackluster, felt too much time was wasted on what I call a weight loss monologue and only about 20 minutes was spent on actual hypnosis, Larry insinuated that we all felt that only 5 minutes had lapsed during hypnosis, no, I heard every word that was spoken, it would take anyone 20 minutes to say all that, so indeed I felt it was 20 minutes. I also feel the selling of the supplements should be at the end of the seminar for those that want to buy them and not in the middle of the seminar.
I don’t know if it works or not, thought it was worth a shot, I just expected a more professional experience.

Complete Scam
My wife attended this seminar in Rochester NY last month. I was very upset when I found out she was sold $399.00 in supplements and asked if she could take them back. She took them back and was told to call the office for a refund. we never received it and they charged our credit card for the second installment. when she called the company they told her they could do nothing for her! It's a scam. Don't waste your time and money!

I went to the seminar to lose weight. This was my last resort since Ive tried everything else. I was really hoping this would help me but as usual it didnt work for me.

Hi Brian,
This is Jennifer from Mark Patrick Seminars customer care team. Thank you for taking the time to review our program, if the speaker didn’t make it clear to you that the supplements are not necessary and just an aid I’m very sorry. I would like to ask if you can do us just one small favor if you could click on this link http://www.generalsciences.com/trim-am/ and watch the video and after watching the video imagine if you were conducted the seminar would you feel not only obligated, in fact, required to share the information that the speaker did?
We tried to make it very clear that it’s not a requirement but at the same time we try to balance it out with the facts, supported by 219 scientific references.
Bottom line, we will do “whatever it takes” to make you happy. What can we do to make you happy? Keep in mind, with the seminar you attended you will receive free for one year physiological and psychological coaching to help you succeed.
The physiological addresses all of the different physical aspects that you need to address in order to be successful and the psychological addresses the mental aspects, very unique and why we’ve had such great success long-term with our seminar attendees.
Thank you so much for your feedback.
Kind regards,

Snake oil salesman
He is a 21st century snake oil salesman! I paid him $50 for the privilege to sit for 2 hours selling me $25 hypnosis CDs and up to $400 dollars in meds. If hypnosis was so effective what do I need the CD or pills? Or if the CD and pills are the way then what do I need him for?
