How “Testimonial” Microsites Help Questionable Clinics Dodge Bad Press: The Case of Wellbeing International Foundation Ltd.


Wellbeing International Foundation Ltd.
 operates a network of webpages and “testimonial” microsites that promote a cell-free / extracellular-vesicle (EV) therapy for everything from sports injuries to neurodegenerative disease and “longevity.” Our review finds a growing web footprint that centers celebrity testimonials and sweeping claims while providing no regulatory approvals for EV infusions and offering Bermuda contact details. Leading regulators (FDA/MHRA) warn that exosome/EV injections are unapproved and can be illegal or unsafe. 

What the public sees: a fresh “testimonials” domain

  • wellbeing-international-foundation-testimonials.com — launched as a dedicated testimonials hub. It highlights quotes from NFL players and other figures; lists Williams House, 20 Reid Street, Hamilton HM11, Bermuda; and is “Powered by GoZoek.” Wellbeing International Foundation

  • The site’s About page promotes EV-based “cell-free therapy,” cites “25–30+ years of research,” and positions the offering as pro-regenerative and “ethically sound.” Wellbeing International Foundation

The broader web footprint

  • wellbeingint.com — main site; repeats claims (“30+ years of research,” “1,000+ satisfied customers”), features celebrity testimonials (Jameis Winston, Jimmy Graham, Garrett McNamara) and the same Bermuda addressWellbeing International+1


  •  — satellite landing page funneling traffic back to the main site and repeating testimonials. about.me

  • Independent critical sites have emerged to counter these claims, documenting sales scripts, addresses, and personnel; take these as allegations and corroborate specific details independently. thetruthaboutwellbeingint.org+1


Why the “testimonials” tactic matters

  1. SERP diversion: Spinning up a positive “testimonials” domain can dilute negative coverage by occupying additional slots on brand-name searches (e.g., “Wellbeing International testimonials”).

  2. Borrowed credibility: Celebrity athlete quotes create social proof, yet do not constitute clinical evidence or regulatory approval. Wellbeing International

  3. Jurisdiction arbitrage: Listing a Bermuda address while marketing to UK/US readers may complicate oversight and redress. (The marketing is online; the address on both sites is Bermuda.) Wellbeing International+1

  4. Scientific framing without approvals: Claims hinge on exosomes/EVs. Regulators are explicit: there are no FDA-approved exosome products; UK reporting and guidance flag that injectable exosomes are not authorisedand may be illegal. GOV.UK+3U.S. Food and Drug Administration+3U.S. Food and Drug Administration+3

The evidence landscape (what the science actually says)

Peer-reviewed reviews show active research into EV therapeutics, but also significant gaps and challenges(manufacturing, characterization, safety, trial quality). That is a world away from mass-market, multi-indication clinical promises. Frontiers+3PMC+3isevjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com+3


Red flags we observed on the Wellbeing sites

Important context: The FDA has issued public safety notices on exosome products and taken actions against unapproved “regenerative medicine” marketing; UK reporting confirms human-derived exosome treatments are banned in aesthetics and remain unauthorised clinically without proper approvals. U.S. Food and Drug Administration+2U.S. Food and Drug Administration+2


What patients should ask (before paying a cent)

  • Is this product approved by the FDA/MHRA/EMA for my indication? If not, under what lawful route is it supplied? (In the UK, “specials” have strict criteria and prescribing responsibilities.) GOV.UK

  • Where is the clinic regulated and insured? Who is the named responsible clinician?

  • Show me the trial data. Randomized, controlled, peer-reviewed publications for this product, not generic EV literature.

  • Where is the manufacturing done? Ask for GMP details, batch records, and adverse-event reporting procedures.

  • Refunds and follow-up. Exact terms if there’s no benefit or you suffer adverse effects (FDA/CDC have flagged serious events from unapproved products). CDC Archive
