Hi, I’m Henry the Health Hound. My job as the internet’s official Health Watchdog is to review the companies and business practices behind health products sold online and tell you whether they’re bogus or not. Plain and simple.

I first came to life in 2009 on a crusade to rid the internet of it’s worst scammers – the ones who take advantage of people who are suffering from a health condition. My job is to review these companies to determine whether or not they’re a scam, guilty of deceptive marketing practices or demonstrate poor business performance and ethics.

And I also give my two cents on product effectiveness!

When I investigate an online health product, I ask myself the following questions:

Is the product or company an obvious scam?

Is the company guilty of deceptive marketing?

Does the health product live up to it’s claims?

Does the product have any dangerous side effects?

What does the Better Business Bureau say about the company?

What are people saying about the product or company on blogs and forums?

Does the company sell any other “questionable” products?

After my research is complete, I then grade this information to determine whether or not the product and company behind it is worthy of the Health Hound Seal of Approval. This is my personal guarantee that protects you from bogus and potentially dangerous health products online.

And just so you know and there is no misunderstanding, I do find products that pass my test every once in a while – those are the ones with the Five Bones! I do get a paid a commission on these products to support my bone habit (actually so I can continue work on this site).

It does not affect my judgment because I was not an affiliate for any product when this started, when I find a good product – I then sign up to be an affiliate. There is no way I can prove that to you, but I think if you read really carefully and look at the comments that it is clear that I am on your side.
