Several terms from your question appear on the Web, but in different
places.  It might be helpful if you could explain where you learned
about this product and what address you sent the check to.  You have
already provided useful details, but any other pertinent details you
can think of might be helpful.

Hi genrljoe
I'm sorry for your predicament. 
I have located contact information for a company called Paraxel
Research located in California. However, the name Gilbert Fournier
doesn't seem to be associated with this company.
Unfortunately, this company does not seem to have a very good track
record, which caused me to believe it could possibly be the one you
are inquiring about.
I also have contact information for past and future matters which
pertain to Paraxel Research in California, including complaints.
If you believe this is the same company you sent a check to, let me
know and I will post the information I have acquired.
Regards,

If the check was cashed in Montreal, it is most probably from a Quebec
company. In Quebec, there is a global registry of all companies and
company names.  I found a company named "Paraxel Research" doing
"Direct Marketing".  The owner of the company is:

BALINT, LASZLO                                          
2270, RUE STE-JEANNE-D'ARC                J4K 3E3
LONGUEUIL, QC

From the Montreal phone book, I found this phone number for this
person:

(450) 463-1042

Good luck!

I am in the process of tracking this company as well.  My check was
sent to Paraxel Research, 3701 Sacramento Street, Suite 1202, San
Francisco, CA  94118.  My check cleared the bank and was also endorsed
by Gilbert Fournier.  According to the BBB, future matters should be
forwarded to:  Ms. Susan Baughan, United States Postal Inspection
Service, PO Box 88252, San Francisco, CA  94188-2528.  The product was
Pectotrim and for some reason, some people received theirs, and others
have not and have no way to collect a refund.  If any one has a more
recent answer, I'd be interested.

Thanks.
