There are none, it's a sales tactic handed down at one of their sales rallies. Their reps are unlicensed and untrained on the topics they speak of, but claiming to fight cancer will herd lots of sheep

My question was more rhetorical in nature because that's exactly the point. If a miracle pill, shake, fruit extract, recycled toilet water, etc. cured cancer, the FDA even with its immense power, wouldn't be able to stop it.

If the FDA or Advocare had the slightest inkling that this could fight cancer, it would be approved as a prescription medication, and then they could charge through the nose for it

You seem like a good poster,and a great communicator. I'd like to sit down with you and discuss a business opportunity that will make you rich and independent. Are you interested?

I almost worked doing that type stuff one time. The guy that was recruiting me told me he was making all this money and so could I. Then I saw he drove a shitty old Acura and figured out he was full of shite.

I forgot to mention, it also cures the mudbutt. That should be enticing to you. Are you afraid to make money and be rich?

One of the girls I went to high school with does the itworks thing. It's like some kind of creepy cult shite. Every Facebook post is about it. The funniest part is the "wraps" they sell for $25 a piece that are basically Saran Wrap and aloe Vera.

Is Goji juice still being sold as a miracle cure?

Not even close. Read the posts.

You seem to know a little about advocare ... Would the below chart be anywhere close to accurate ?? Just curious
I honestly have no clue but wouldn't be surprised. My only interaction with a "higher up" was one who called me and told me about the great opportunity when I bought the initial order. She seemed a little bummed when I told her I'm way too busy with my regular job and business I run to worry about that. I just wanted the discount because my NFL buddies are way too busy to worry about my spark habit during the season. I have signed up exactly 0 people and made exactly 0 profit selling any of it.

I am not sure how Amway is today, but one of my mom's sisters & her husband (my aunt & uncle) got involved in Amway. I think I was in middle school at the time so this would have been the early 90s. Anyway, they were in it for several years and during that time it was their life outside of their jobs. You couldn't be around them without them bringing up Amway. If anyone had products that Amway sold, they would give a spiel about how you can buy Amway's version & get a much better quality product.
Their sons & I grew up more like brothers than cousins, even today we are still really close. When they joined Amway, every product they used that Amway offered, they had the Amway version of it, which included food. I don't know what it was, but there was not a single type of food product I ate that was good. Even things like potato chips sucked. I am not sure why they eventually got out of it, but the several years they were in it, they lived & died that shite.

Fedgov has been running Social Security successfully (on paper) for a while now.

Here's a little secret I'm gonna let you in on buddy. EVERY job is a pyramid scheme.
Posted on 1/11/16 at 1:48 pm to tduecen
I can assure you that anyone doing it is going to say they made more money than ever and anyone not doing it will say it is a sham. Good luck.
