Renua Medical Michael Bianco, Mike Bianco, Gary White, Gary Michael Bianco, Health First Technologies Inc. Mike Bianco at Renua Mediacal is a Fraud - BEWARE!! Carson City Nevada

Mike Bianco's real name is Gary White.

After getting a permanent injunction from the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) against him and his company at the time - National Electronic Healthcare Corp. and Electronic Healthcare Products, Inc. Mr. White changed his name to Mike Bianco and he is at it again ripping off unsuspecting medical reps. In order to sign up with them you have to buy 2 pieces of equipment for thousands of dollars, only to find out that the units are not FDA approved and that Renua knocked them off from a previous vendor, who is suing them.

Do not fall for this multi-level marketing scheme. Renua is about to go out of business, reps will have no recourse.
