Don’t waste your time, energy, and money trying Fungus Eliminator by ‘Joseph Owens’ of Pure Health Research because it is a scam! In this review, I’m going to tell you all you need to know about this product and why you should not bother using it for your fungal infection. So sit back, grab your reading glasses, and let’s begin!
Fungus Eliminator was launched in August 2019. Its owner Joseph Owens claims that he used this supplement to cure his wife of her fungal infection. He claims that his formula is so effective thanks to ‘a special extra herb’ used by marshland farmers in Bangladesh. He even goes further to claim that these Bangladeshi farmers usually get rid of their frequent fungal infections ‘within a few days’ just by adding this herb to their diet. Specifically, he claims that his supplement can get rid of your fungus ‘in just 12 days.’
Well, we’re going to discuss these claims later but first, let’s find out how Mr. Owens managed to cure his wife of her debilitating fungal infection, shall we?
Backstory of Fungus Eliminator
Mr. Owens tells us this sob story of how his wife almost died from her fungal infection. In fact, he says that his wife was literally put on life support … all because of what started as a toenail fungus infection.
Now while in the hospital, Owens was supposedly informed by doctors that the fungal infection had ‘overtaken’ his wife’s immune system. He even claims that the doctors wanted to take her off life support because ‘they said that once the fungus takes hold as it has like this, there’s not much chance of survival.’
Understandably, Mr. Owens wasn’t having it. So that night, he ‘threw’ himself into research. Then he called up his old friend ‘who was well traveled and had practiced medicine in different countries across the world.’ This old friend then informed him that he had seen marshland farmers in Bangladesh getting their feet covered in fungus because they spend ‘hours’ walking through the marshlands. But then these farmers usually get rid of their fungal infections ‘in just a few days’ by adding a ‘special’ herb to their diet. This special herb is actually some ‘very special turmeric mixture’ that is ‘difficult to find.’
Somehow, Mr. Owens was able to find in the USA all the ingredients his friend recommended he gather, as well as the ‘very special turmeric mixture’ supposedly unique to Bangladesh. Miraculously, he was able to have the ingredients ‘dosed out right’ by himself. Then he mixed them all together and then brought the mixture to his comatose wife to drink.
A mere 5 days later, Mrs. Owens was already out of coma. A few days after that, she had fully recovered. Of course, word got out about the miraculous recovery in his native Trinity, Florida, where ‘the vile toenail fungus’ was terrorizing the locals. Soon, people were trying and ‘not getting enough of’ his amazingly effective miracle cure. So he decided to partner with a company called Pure Health Research … and that was how Fungus Eliminator was born.
Interesting.
Science Behind Fungus Eliminator
Mr. Owens claims that the real root cause of fungal infection is a weakened immune system. According to him, ‘your immune system starts to degrade after about age 35’ and that this system ‘is largely based in your gut.’ So the idea behind Fungus Eliminator is to boost this immune system ‘based in your gut’.
Now how does Fungus Eliminator achieve this? By supplying your body with ‘a handful of specific anti-fungal, health-supporting ingredients’ that will boost the health of your gut bacteria, apparently. So we’re basically dealing with a probiotic masquerading as an antifungus remedy.
How strange.
Ingredients of Fungus Eliminator
Speaking of ingredients, here is what we’re told Fungus Eliminator contains:
- Wild Oregano Oil. Mr. Owens tells us that this ingredient ‘has very strong antifungal and antibacterial properties that can kill toenail fungus, athlete’s foot, ringworm and nail bacterial infections.’ However, there’s little evidence to support this claim. [WebMD]
- Garlic
- Apple cider vinegar
- Wormwood
- Olive leaf extract
- A combination of Turmeric and Bioperine. This is the supposed ‘very special turmeric mixture’ that is ‘difficult to find’. But a simple Google search quickly shows results of this same combination being sold at Amazon.
Overall, I’m not impressed with this list of ingredients. Most of them do not actually work directly against fungus, and those that do are only known for being somewhat effective against fungal infections of the skin, not toenail fungus (the type Mr Owens’ wife supposedly suffered from).
Anyway, time for the fun part. Why is Fungus Eliminator a scam?
1. Author is Unverifiable (Does NOT Exist)
Mr. Owens never tells us who he is or what makes him qualified to manufacture antifungal supplements. However, we’re provided with a video and stills of him and his ‘wife.’ But I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I know a stock video when I see one. Sure, I was unable to trace where the scammer bought the stock video from, but I’m pretty sure that the man in the video passed off as Owens is just a stock video model. If you disagree with me, then you’re welcome to prove Mr Owens’ identity in the comments section.
2. Pure Health Research, LLC Is A Shady Company
In the backstory, Mr. Owens says he partners with a company called Pure Health Research, LLC. At the bottom of the Fungus Eliminator website, we’re given the address of the company as 5501 Merchants View Square, 804 Haymarket, VA 20169. When you look up this address on Google Maps, you’ll realize that it points to a building complex housing a shopping center, some fast food restaurants, and a UPS store. From experience, I can tell you that the scammers just gave you the address of the postal office they work with, not the actual address of their company.
However, on further research, I discovered that Pure Health Research is currently registered in the US state of Wyoming since 2019, but was originally registered in the state of Virginia in 2014. You wouldn’t know about this if you visited their company’s website though.
Its founder is a naturopathic doctor named Eric Wood, and he reminds me of the known fraudster and fellow naturopathic colleague Ryan Shelton. Just like Ryan Shelton’s Zenith Labs, Pure Health Research has miracle ‘natural’ products for conditions usually handled by health specialists.
So what is the bottom line? Pure Health Research is a shady company run by someone whose profession is notorious for often selling scammy supplements to unsuspecting people. Red flag!
3. Untrustworthy, Unverifiable Testimonials.
Good luck trying to verify if the testimonials are featured in Fungus Eliminator. This is because there’s simply no way of verifying them. For you to trust those testimonials, then you’ll have to believe that Mr. Owens is not lying to you. So far though, Owens is doing a very bad job!
4. The Scientific Basis is Nonsensical
According to Mr. Owens, the real cause of toenail fungus is a weakened immune system that is ‘ largely based in your gut.’ Well, that’s laughably false. Everyone who studied biology in high school knows that blood cells make up your immune system … and these immune cells are NOT made in your gut. Even if you give Mr. Owens the benefit of the doubt and agree with his claim that gut bacteria contribute to the immune system, that still does NOT mean that the immune system is ‘largely based in the gut.’ That’s just ridiculous and a claim only ignorant hacks make.
Secondly, gut bacteria are mostly known for aiding digestion and nothing else. For years these friendly bacteria have been used by sleazy capitalists to push food and diet fads in the weight loss world. It’s kinda strange seeing a scammer using it to target people with fungal infection but hey, a scammer’s gotta do what he has to do…
5. Makes False Claims to Scare and Deceive People
Mr. Owens did not disappoint when it comes to making false claims and scaring people into buying his scam. Right from the beginning, he showed us a photo of a man with giant warts growing on his toes … then he claimed that those warts are caused by fungus. However, the truth is that those warts are NOT caused by a fungus, but by the Human Papilloma Virus. Specifically, the man in the video is most probably suffering from a severe form (Warning: Disturbing images) of Lewandowsky-Lutz dysplasia, which is an inherited disorder, not an infection. So as you can see, Mr. Owens is using scare tactics to grab your attention and make you buy what he’s selling!
Secondly, Mr. Owens makes the same claim the likes of him always make: His product will completely cure your fungus infection ‘in just 12 days.’ This is just false. As I’ve said time and time again, fungus infections are difficult to treat because fungi share the same similar cell structure as human cells, thereby making it difficult for the body to get rid of them. That’s also the reason why most anti-fungal drugs are used topically, and why the few ones taken orally have side effects. It takes at least 3-6 months to completely cure a fungal infection. For toenail fungus, it will take much longer than that to get rid of them. You just need patient and expert services from an actual licensed medical professional.
