I've been told there was a website named drnaturesalternatives  - I
want to verify this and find staff members or owners who were connected with it
I have a screen shot of the site if you want to see it.

Dear ds1234,

A link to that screenshot might prove very helpful indeed. And are you
absolutely sure about the site's name?

Regards,
Scriptor

There is a site for just "Nature's Alternatives", which provides
"natural healing alternatives through colloidal silver" and other
methods.  Is this what you're looking for?

scriptor - tried emailing you via your hotmail acct - mail was
undeliverable 2x. Screen shot image is only 33k

Hi there,

I believe that the website drnaturesalternatives.com has never
existed, based on the following:

The address does not currently work:
http://www.drnaturesalternatives.com

A Whois search says the domain name is available:
http://searchenginez.com/cgi-bin/acewhois.cgi?fqdn=drnaturesalternatives&tld=.com&submit=Do+the+search

The Internet Archive, which stores historical copies of websites, does
not have it:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.drnaturesalternatives.com

LocalWhois, which has a database of previously registered domains,
does not have it listed:
http://www.localwhois.com

No websites currently indexed by Google link to it (usually dead
websites will still have a few links here are there that point to
them):
://www.google.com/search?as_lq=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drnaturesalternatives.com&btnG=Search

So that I can complete my answer, which requires looking at your
screenshot, I have set up a new Hotmail account purely for the
answering of this question (it has no other purpose, and will be
cancelled afterwards). Please send it to escf1f2@hotmail.com

I'll be happy to look into this further if you have any more questions
about  drnaturesalternatives.com

Best wishes,
robertskelton-ga

Thanks for the screenshot.

The list of products have a perfect match at ThinkNatural.com:
http://www.thinknatural.com/superstore/dept.asp?dept_id=120

This site has an affiliate scheme. My educated guess is that the site
the screenshot comes from belonged to this affiliate scheme. Although
the site would appear to be a seller of herbal products, eventually
all links would lead to Think Natural. Often an affiliate site like
this would be hosted for free, like at Geocities or Tripod, and would
not have their own domain name.

The affiliate scheme is run by Trade Doubler, which is based in Europe
- so it is most likely this is where the site was based.

I checked the availability of the drnaturesalternatives domain name
for every country, and all were currently available. Unfortunately
there is no such thing as an "historical whois" for checking up on who
used to own a domain name. A few services that specialize in expired
domain names do not have drnaturesalternatives.com listed as expired.

Excellent research. Went the extra mile.

you might try
 http://webdev.archive.org/
Unfortunately their server was overloaded when I tried it, but you
might try later
You didn't specify ".com" or what the ending of the address was, cut
".com " is most likely

They have archived copies of many sights from past years, and the data
may be there!
