Dear Jeannine, Thanks, that is sort of my feeling toward herbalife. But not all MLMs. I used to feel that way toward all mlms, but network marketing as it is now called is more legit and has a lot of good things going for it and is now even being taught at Harvard Business School. I have looked for MLM products I could get enthused about for years. AMWAY is too much like a cult as is herbalife. I think they are geniuses at meme generation. Strong parallels to religion. Best MLM company I have previously looked at was NIKKEN and for a while I was a dealer, but their products were too odd for Lynchburg, Va where I lived at the time. NIKKEN primarily sells medical magnetic products, like magnetic beds and wraps and stuff. Lately I have found an mlm of sorts that deals in electrically balanced nutritional products. I am investigating them to make sure they are all that they seem and I will likely go with them THey are certainly straightforward with their marketing, none of this sneaky come on stuff with tons of testimonials of people with rags to riches stories and showing these good looking model quality people standing in front of mansions leaning on expensive custom cars or lounging around pools or sitting on decks with a great view of a beachfront. They play on the emotions, gripes my butt. But this electrical nutrtional compnay says straitup they are selling nutrtional products and focus on that, they only bring up the mlm part of it as an answer to people who say they can't afford the products. IF they work as claimed they are worth it whether one mlm's or not. I am going to I think order their mineral product right away to stop some of my toothloss hopefully.
I am also looking into a firm that is not mlm it is direct retailing, but it deals in financial educational materials and training seminars in asset protection and all these other financial goodies. LEt you all know more on that once I set up as a retailer. Need to scratche together a few bucks to invest in doing that. SOrt of like a franchise fee, but much smaller and better. Anyway, I have always heard vague disquieting rumors about herbalife,but could not recall what they were. I heard some company like them many years ago was shut down as they had some toixen in a diet product they sold that was making people very sick, I can't recall if there were any deaths. I always think of Shaklee or Herbalife when I recall that story but I am not sure if it was one ot them or one that no longer exists. Too many years ago when it happened. I was in my 20's at the time, early 20's as I still lived in Houston I think. ANyway, I will update the group on the electrical nutrtion stuff and the Tax Relief and protection seminars as I learnd more.
