I would like to know what happened to the Mannatech thread where I was posting yesterday. I didn't write anything vulgar or inflammatory. Maybe someone else did while I was away?

I don't know what happened, but maybe the original person that started it was spamming/advertising?
It seemed genuine to me, but I'm always a little leary of people (especially brand new people that have never posted before) coming on here making claims about how wonderful they are doing after using a particular product.
Sometimes they even list a website where 'you too can buy this wonderful product'.

Hi John:

Bill had four requests to take down the thread. People were complaining that it was a solicitation.

We section off the sponsors. They apply through the administration and we have to approve them.

Thanks,

Jeanne

Mannatech is a huge scam anyhow. I'm glad they took it down.

Allie,

Have you taken the mannatech products? I didn't think so. Stay off the thread unless you have used the products. You're opinion holds no water. As for the suit, Mannatech is a multilevel marketing business. I don't like it and others don't like multilevel marketing, but that has no bearing on whether the products work, or what it's independent associate's say about the product. That's the bottom line. It's not necessarily mannatech's fault that one of their associates told lies and acted unethically.

Their are hundred's and probably thousands of people who would claim that mannatech has helped, them. For me the benefits were minimal, but I certainly don't think they are intentionall trying to scam people. Multilevel marketing stinks to high heaven, but I sincerely believe this product has helped some people. I have a close friend who believes it has helped him beat cancer.

If you want to know the truth try it yourself, but be forewarned that products are ridiculously priced. Sometimes the only way you can afford to purchase them is to sell them.

I for one, don't think this sounds much like a sales pitch.

I don't have a reason to use the products. Why would use something so ridiculously overpriced, that has no bearing other than testimonial?

The reason I posted the suit was for this handy little tidbit:

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Mannatech, several of its officers, and a chiropractor who was a major distributor are being sued by the mother of a child who died of Tay-Sachs disease whose photograph has been used to promote Mannatech products. According to the complaint:
1)Mannatech distributors circulated a nude picture of the child and claimed that he had benefited from their products.

2)The child actually died in 1997, shortly after using the products.

3)The marketing campaign persisted until 2004 despite requests by child's mother to stop it.


</end quote></div>


Try and tell me this isn't a corrupt campaign. It's sick that they would lie about something like that. Just to prey on people desperate for a cure, or for help. I didn't comment on the original thread because this arguement has gone around time and again.

I wish Michelle would comment on this thread, as she has a degree in this sort of thing and can tell you exactly WHY it doesn't work.

I do have a confession to make. I, desperately, bought some this stuff for my husband a few years ago. It was insanely expensive, and guess what it helped? NOTHING. So don't tell me I have no say in this, I hope I can keep people from forking over thier pocketbooks in desperation. I'm ashamed of myself, deeply, for ever even THINKING that sugar could help.
