HCCC drops bomb on curries

HCCC drops bomb on curries

The myth has been debunked! The Health Care Complaints Commission has made it clear that, contrary to Mr Cohen’s misleading claims, it never confirmed the existence of any curries or herbal extracts in IHRB’s topical solutions. For five months, my lawyers and I had been liaising with the Commission, to delve into Sam Cohen’s insistence that […]

Only Sam Cohen can toast ice

Only Sam Cohen can toast ice

In my opinion, Mr Sam Cohen of IHRB is the Lance Armstrong of the hair-loss industry. We heard how Armstrong kept denying everything for years; until he spilled the beans to Oprah. Mr Cohen seems to operate within the same kind of delusional framework. His fanciful explanation of what happened, seems to know no limits. […]

Commissioner Rod Stowe

In this radio interview, Fair Trading Commissioner Rod Stowe tells 2UE Radio that Mr Samuel Cohen not only lied to the Tribunal, but also tried to mislead Fair Trading investigators in an attempt to throw Fair Trading Investigators off the track.

Catch me if you can

Catch me if you can

Despite being told to stop publishing those unlawful, misleading, and unverified advertisements, IHRB has accelerated its claims through bolder statements that are worse than ever. What’s more amazing is that IHRB was told to publish retractions. Instead, IHRB plays a game of cat and mouse. Let’s review the latest ads that appeared in ‘Spectator’ magazine. […]

Client suffers weeping scalp

In August 2012, a new victim came forward, claiming to have suffered a weeping-scalp at the hands of Sam Cohen. The former IHRB client said that he saw the TV ads on TVS and called Mr Cohen. The two arranged a meeting in March 2010. The client says that Sam Cohen’s sales pitch centred around […]

IHRB’s confusing radio ads

IHRB’s confusing radio ads

IHRB can’t make up its mind. One minute it can grow hair, and the next, it is telling the authorities that it is not in the business of hair growth. Let’s compare what this radio advertisement says, with what IHRB officially told the Complaints Resolution Panel (CRP). First, permit me to remind you that I […]

IHRB avoids digital fingerprints

IHRB avoids digital fingerprints

  It comes as no surprise that Sam Cohen of IHRB has removed his email address from his home-page and from his advertisements. It would be my guess that he is trying to avoid putting anything in writing, because it invariably comes back to bite him. Any legal battle with Sam Cohen comes down to […]

AFR: Hair loss therapy linked to impotence

AFR: Hair loss therapy linked to impotence

The Australian Financial Review reported about a 30 year old man who ‘claims his life went awry after taking Propecia to treat his hair loss.’ The paper added, ‘Kevin Malley says a hair-loss treatment his doctor recommended has brought on debilitating sexual side effects.’ Propecia and Proscar are brand names for the medication called Finasteride.

What’s your number, duckie?

What’s your number, duckie?

In 2007, the Complaints Resolution Panel reminded Mr Sam Cohen of IHRB that all advertisements for therapeutic goods must first be approved, and must display the APPROVAL NUMBER. Mr Cohen never sought approval, and he ignored the law. Then in 2011, the Panel found IHRB in Breach of the Act, and told him to stop […]
