"Chron writer Moises Mendoza has an excellent article on the Houston Chron about CieAura and ex-Rockets coach Tomjanovich pitching the CieAura sticker, and about critics voicing their opinion that the sticker is 'nonsense'.

An excerpt:

...Supporters CieAura has its own experts, including at least three Houston-area physicians and a slew of chiropractors, who say people with serious injuries and illnesses have seen their pain disappear — the testimonials are outlined in audio recordings on the company's Web site.

“I see a lot of degenerative illness. A lot of osteoarthritis and hip problems, knee problems, shoulder problems and tendonitis, those sorts of things,” said Pasadena family physician Dr. Milton “Bo” Kirkwood, in one audio recording. “I see very good results. We see results that are better than any of the prescription anti-inflammatory pills that we use. And I'm not exaggerating that number...

...Placebo effect An expert the Chronicle showed CieAura's products to reacted with skepticism to the claims, saying the chips appeared to be nothing more than stickers.

“What do I think of them? I think they're worthless,” said Dr. John Rodgers, a professor in Baylor College of Medicine's immunology department, who attributed positive testimonials to a placebo effect. “I think they're a gimmick, a product for a company to sell.”

Dr. Stephen Barrett, who runs Quackwatch.org, a Web site debunking questionable health-related claims, called the chips “total nonsense.”

And Coker, who teaches a course called “Pseudoscience,” said, “They're selling just a sticker that you buy anywhere.”

In a written statement, FDA spokesman Tom Gasparoli wrote: “I do not know, at this time, if this product has come to our attention yet or whether we have received complaints. The agency is looking into it...

FHTM in the Lexington-Herald Leader

Source: Npros.com

"FHTM Founder Paul Orbeson was interviewed in the Lexington-Herald Leader:

"In Lexington, where Orberson lives and runs his firm, Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing, he keeps a fairly low profile. The most recent exception was his January bid of $100,000 in the Hoops for Haiti fund-raiser to have dinner with University of Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari and actress Ashley Judd — a gathering he says he might not even attend.

But in Nashville, and in multi-level marketing meetings across the country, he is not just a star, but a legend. He's the high school basketball coach turned multi-millionaire, a man who could see no future, but found one.

Multi-level marketing is sometimes known as using a pyramid sales force because of the triangle shape of the hierarchy of people who are both a recruiting force and a sales force. It usually requires a sign-up fee (in the case of Orberson's company, $299), a lot of energy, and, at least two marketing experts say, a willing suspension of disbelief."

"IN the 1880s, David McConnell, a door-to-door book salesman in upstate New York, thought that he might have better luck if he presented potential customers with a gift of perfume. By 1886, McConnell had formed the California Perfume Company, and within 20 years, 10,000 representatives were selling 117 products in 600 styles. In 1939, the company changed its name to Avon Products.

Today, direct sales make up 1 percent, or $29.6 billion, of consumer sales in the United States, according to Amy Robinson, a spokeswoman for the Direct Selling Association. In the cosmetics and personal care market, Avon dominates with more than 5.8 million representatives worldwide.

Even in a sluggish economy, Avon is calling. Its sales last year were estimated to be $10.4 billion, nearly double what they were in 2000."

Only about 10 percent of plastic surgeons have the training to operate on cleft lips and cleft palates, which means that few children in the developing areas get the surgeries.

"iJango continues to generate buzz and stir controversy - NBC Chicago posted a news piece on the company on September 25, 2009:

Ijango Comes to Town With Critics Close Behind Browser beware.

That's the message the Better Business Bureau wants to spread about Ijango, a self-described "online community" which is recruiting marketers in face-to-face sessions across the country.

In pitch sessions, Ijango "directors" promise potential members that if they pay $149 to sign up and $20 a month thereafter, they'll make money when people they recruit search and shop online. The BBB says Ijango's plan has "red flags" and could potentially be a pyramid scheme, since its revenues may rely mostly on signups of new members.

Since Ijango launched in August, the Bureau has received 3,400 inquiries about the company. It gives Ijango an "F" rating. And Internet critics have lobbed savage reviews of its business. Here's what company cofounder Steve Smith told us about those bad notices on the Internet: "Mainly it's just been one guy named clicksniper and he's made an awful lot of money developing an awful lot of traffic from an awful lot of people who like hearing news that's not as good of news as you might like to hear."

Smith and other Ijango representatives have strongly disputed the Bureau's claims. "

In an enterprising move, a 'sinful' snack food – chocolate candy – that is typically loaded with empty calories and fillers has been transformed into a tasty product packed with antioxidants and other health-promoting ingredients.

Xocai (pronounced 'shoss-eye') combines the popular appeal of chocolate with the healthy properties of the cocoa bean – boosted by a special cold-processing process – and the acai berry, known for its high levels of antioxidants. And unlike some natural products that claim to have health benefits but provide no hard scientific evidence to back up those claims, Xocai is the result of extensive research and development by a large team of experts and carries the Brunswick Labs seal of quality assurance.

Silpada Designs on ABC7

2009-10-03T15:12:00.001-07:00

"Between the economy and unemployment, more people are taking the direct approach. Direct sales translate into selling products to customers without having a retail store and the large inventory that goes with it. And while the potential for big profits are there, so are some pitfalls if you don't do your homework.

When Shannon Bambara was laid off earlier this year, she polished her silver and her sales pitch. She became a direct seller with a jewelry company called Silpada Designs, selling their products at house parties, then taking a cut of the proceeds.

"An average Silpada party retails about $950, which means I take home 30 percent of that, which would be around $285. And typically, that's only in a two-hour period," Bambara said. History has shown that in bad economic times, more and more turn to home parties as a way to fill in the income void. "

Scentsy Mentioned in Idaho Statesman

"It's an interesting concept: wickless scented candles that don't use flame, but rather melt from the heat of a 25-watt bulb in a decorative candle warmer. Even without a salesperson's insistence that "scents bring people together," you might be inclined to make a purchase, just to see what all the fuss is about.

This reaction is largely responsible for Meridian company Scentsy's explosive growth.

Four years ago, Scentsy operated in a 40-foot, air-conditioned ocean-freight container on a sheep farm. In five years, it has grown more than 300 percent annually. Its revenue was $109 million in the year that ended June 30. "

Janell Driscoll is using the site to make money after she lost her job selling building supplies in January.

"It's just a great way to spice up your love life, and it's a great way to have a really fun girls' night in," says Driscoll.

Passion Parties are like Tupperware parties but for adult toys and other products for the bedroom. She started doing it for fun.

"Now, I hope to do it a lot more for extra cash because I am actively seeking employment, but haven't found anything yet," says Driscoll.

With her commission, she makes about $200 for the average party. This month, she has four parties scheduled.

MonaVie Mentioned in Acai Berry Article

2009-10-03T15:00:00.001-07:00

Source: Npros.com

"Rising U.S. sales of acai, a purple Amazon berry promoted as a "superfood" on Oprah Winfrey's Web site, are depriving Brazilian jungle dwellers of a protein-rich nutrient they've relied on for generations.

U.S. consumers are turning a "a typical poor people's food into something like a delicacy," said Oscar Nogueira, who specializes in the fruit at Embrapa, Brazil's agricultural research company.

"Our granddaughter is turning 3 and we're going to have family coming to our house," said Neves, 68, as she paid 20 reais ($9.40), or about 7 percent of her monthly household income, for 2 liters (2 quarts) of the thick mush at a local street market.

Acai grows on palm trees and looks like a blueberry. In the Amazon, it is beaten, diluted in water and eaten with manioc, meat, fish or dried shrimp.

The pulp provides more protein in relation to its weight than eggs and milk, and has high levels of anthocyanin, an antioxidant, as well as vitamins E and B1, potassium, iron and calcium, according to Embrapa.

The Para government recommends its consumption. The berry is popularly associated with bone and muscular strength, longevity and a healthy immune system, said Lucival Cardoso, the state's chief health inspector.

"We encourage families to give acai to children as young as 6 months," Cardoso said. "It's also very filling; that's why it's traditionally associated with low-income family diets."

"We are happy that people on the other side of the world are able to enjoy our acai, but we don't want to have to go without it," Neves said. "Why should we suffer so people who don't even know anything about the fruit can have their acai pills?" "

"As the summer months approach, Isagenix®, the World Leader in Nutritional Cleansing™, reminds individuals of the importance of cleansing the body and maintaining one’s weight as part of a long-term wellness regimen.

Nutritional Cleansing is the process of removing environmental impurities that can clog and damage cells. While there are many cleansing approaches, Isagenix is unique in that its systems replenish the body with vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Nutritional Cleansing, in conjunction with exercise and a low-calorie diet, can also assist in weight loss.

“We are exposed to an overabundance of impurities during our daily routine, such as pollution, fatty foods, pesticides and heavy metals,” commented Isagenix Chief Science Officer Dr. William Wheeler. “When the body has too many impurities, its ability to eliminate them is weakened. You then can store the extra waste in fat cells leading to weight gain. Nutritional Cleansing can be a safe and effective way to recapture your health, vitality and waistline.” "

Passion Parties in the Las Vegas Weekly

"Passion Parties is one of the largest companies of its type in the country, and its headquarters are located right here in Las Vegas. Last month it hosted a large convention at the Hilton (yeah, you missed out) and this month marks the company’s 15th anniversary. For women like Mason, working as a Passion Parties consultant full or part-time has become a lucrative and fulfilling career.

Mason claims that consultants can make an annual salary of $75,000 to $400,000. While the parties are free to guests, the consultants earn a 40 percent commission from every product they sell.

A former Nordstrom’s employee, Mason met Passion Parties founder Pat Davis at the store where Davis was a frequent customer. Through her, Mason learned about the company and decided to join the team.

“If I could sell furs, I could sell sex toys,” Mason reasoned. After switching jobs, Mason shed over 200 pounds and enjoyed a corresponding influx of self-esteem. “I want to go out there and share my experiences and help girls feel good about themselves and enhance their relationships.”

For 18-year-old Liz, the hostess of tonight’s party and the woman whose apartment we are all invading, the incentive is more mercenary. Liz is trying to earn enough money to attend Pima Medical School’s veterinarian technology program, and her current job, as a spa attendant at a hotel, doesn’t pay enough.

“This is the perfect thing,” Liz says of the Passion Party, although she isn’t a fan of the toys. “I don’t own a single one. I prefer the old-fashioned way.”

Thankfully for Mason, Liz is in the minority. "

"A 5-year-old Orem-based network marketing company is struggling under the twin challenges of financial losses and a legal attack by a vendor that is turning itself into a competitor.

ForeverGreen Worldwide Corp., a seller of natural food, nutritional supplements and personal-care products, lost $1 million in 2008, had a deficit of $1.8 million in cash available for daily operations and ended the year with a deficit of $18 million accumulated over its five years of operation, according to its annual report filed this month with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, Wellosophy of Folsom, Calif., has sued in federal court alleging ForeverGreen has failed to pay it about $75,000 for supplying a weight-loss product. The suit also claims the Utah company is violating its contract by continuing to market the product and it asks for an injunction.

Paul Frampton, ForeverGreen chief financial officer, said Wednesday the company has sufficient backing to weather the financial strains. He acknowledged there had been a disagreement over invoices after the weight-loss product called Form began piling up in the company's warehouse because it has not been selling well.

"We're happy to work it out," Frampton said. "Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the intent of the suit." "

Following the model so successfully developed by Costco, efusjon will not use traditional marketing techniques. The say that social networking will be the key to their success. Similar to a wine club, members will join up and receive four cases a month. If members end up bringing more people on board, they will be compensated on a monthly basis. Essentially it is a referral based social networking model.

Everything will be handled out of the corporate headquarters which will utilize their website to manage and track their growth. “We want people to market for us, and we’re not going to have a fleet of delivery trucks so our model allows us to focus on managing our core business,” explained Towles, “and we needed to be somewhere where a healthy energy drink fits in.”

We have a stripper pole, we have a love swing, we have a pillow, a passion pillow because sometimes you have people with back problems and knee problems."

"Gazette Reporter Tatiana Zarnowski wrote a detailed account of ShopWurld Founder David Silipigno's business history in her January 28, 2009 article.

"Local businessman and philanthropist David Silipigno has started a new online business venture that he says has taken off like wildfire.

Silipigno calls ShopWurld a viral marketing opportunity that is spreading as fast as social networking sites Facebook and MySpace, with one important difference.

“With those programs, nobody makes any money. With our program, everybody makes money,” he said.

“At the end of the day, there’s nobody who can lose any money through this.”

She goes on to reference Silipigno for his "checkered past":

Silipigno is known for his checkered past, which includes convictions for felony wire fraud and lying under oath in 2003. He was charged after his first company, National Finance Corp. in Halfmoon, closed suddenly in 1999, leaving 300 employees out of a job just before Christmas.

Silipigno was sentenced to three years of supervised release and fined $100,000, plus he had to make $5.6 million in restitution payments from money his company fraudulently kept from investment banker Bear Stearns & Co.

He paid the fine and completed his sentence, according to federal court records.

Silipigno later founded and worked as a consultant for First Guarantee Mortgage in Saratoga Springs, which specialized in bad credit and subprime loans until it dissolved about a year ago.

Several First Guarantee customers were irked enough to file complaints about the company with the Better Business Bureau.

The bureau got 53 complaints about the mortgage company in the last three years, mostly for selling practices and service issues, according to a BBB report. Of those complaints, 24 were resolved. "

Zrii in Meltdown Says Salt Lake Tribune

"According to the Salt Lake City Tribune, MLM startup Zrii is in a meltdown…

A Utah-based nutritional drink company that started last year is reeling after its top distributors failed in an attempt to oust its CEO and co-founder and then were fired. Other co-founders of the company and top managers, including at least 35 top employees, also left the company amid allegations of personal enrichment made against CEO William F. Farley.

The sides were huddling with lawyers Friday to discuss options after the meltdown at Zrii LLC of Draper, which launched its juice just last May with the endorsement of the popular author of mind-body wellness books and seminars Deepak Chopra.

Farley terminated the top seven distributors in an e-mail Thursday after they had sent him a letter on Monday demanding his resignation, said Jason Domingo of Sacramento, the company's master distributor, who was at the top of a web of what he said were about 70,000 independent sellers at the multilevel marketing company.

Domingo cited personal and professional behavior by Farley, his relations with distributors and company staff, as well as his decisions altering payments to distributors in ways not in accord with the Zrii's compensation plan.

The letter, which has been circulating among lower-level distributors, demanded Farley "immediately remove yourself as the CEO of Zrii." "Your behavior both in your person and professional life, neither represents the ideals and principles of our team nor our brand," said the letter. "To continue our association with you would not only represent a severe compromise in principle but would also put every IE's [independent executive's] family at great risk."

Farley refused to resign.

While researching the concept, he looked to Europe where facial care is far more important than here.

"French women have been babying their skin for years," said Zimmerman, 38.

He partnered with a family-owned lab outside Paris, France, which now serves as manufacturer. The French laboratory boasts more than 80 years of research and development expertise, creating formulations in small, artisan batches. "

Melaleuca Issues Voluntary Recall on Peanut Products

2009-02-20T10:46:00.001-08:00

Source: Press Release

"Melaleuca, Inc., of Idaho Falls, Idaho, has issued a voluntary recall of select lots of Attain® Nutrition Bars Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor, ProFlex15™ Protein Bars Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor, and ProFlex20™ Protein Bars Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor in response to an expanded recall by Peanut Corporation of America ( PCA ). The FDA is investigating an outbreak of Salmonella linked to PCA’s Blakely, GA peanut and peanut product manufacturing facility.

Melaleuca has always taken seriously its responsibility to safeguard its products against contamination from bacteria such as Salmonella. Salmonella is not to be taken lightly. Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. It can cause flu like symptoms in healthy people. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections ( i.e., infected aneurysms ), endocarditis and arthritis.

"The Doctors, a daytime talk show delivering up-to-the-minute information from a panel of four practicing medical professionals, featured the acai berry and MonaVie in a segment on the top 10 health trends for 2009. The segment, which aired January 7, 2008, touted the benefits of the acai berry, ranking it No. 7 on the list of most talked about health trends. Calling it a “miracle berry” from the Amazon, the hosts said acai is made into a juice that is high in antioxidants.

The MonaVie formula is a blend of 19 fruits, including the antioxidant-rich acai berry as the foundation ingredient. Acai contains concentrated levels of anthocyanins—a family of antioxidants that assists in neutralizing the harmful effects free radicals can have on the body. Unsaturated fats found in the acai fruit at unusually high concentrations facilitate the fruit’s antioxidant compounds.

"Once a household name and reputedly the key to fortune for modern salesmen hoping to live out a Horatio Alger myth, the Amway brand faded from the American market years ago, tarnished by legal and regulatory problems.

The direct seller of everything from health and beauty items to household cleaners repeatedly fought allegations that it was a pyramid scheme. The company also paid $20 million in fines in a Canadian criminal fraud case in 1983.

In 2000, after Amway become part of an umbrella company called Alticor Inc., the Amway name was dropped in the U.S. and Canada. The hope was that the company could emerge remade in the world of online sales under a new moniker: Quixtar.

Now, as Amway's 50th anniversary approaches in May, Alticor is retiring the inert Quixtar label and pouring millions of dollars into reviving the Amway brand in North America with market research, national TV commercials and ads in newspapers, magazines and online. The company will use a transitional name, Amway Global, before reverting in about a year to Amway. "

People's Music Store lets you set up your own online storefront to sell up to 50 DRM-free albums from a decent range of high-quality electronica, rock and other music. The store won't earn you money, but it could earn you respect, plus ability to download free music from other people's stores.

"This sounds peachy keen, but I was trepidacious because some of it sounds familiar. The most notorious "build your own storefront" music store was BurnLounge, which went offline in June after drawing negative attention from the FTC during the previous year for allegedly running a pyramid-type scheme that defrauded storefront owners. Good riddance; BurnLounge storefront owners used to drive me nuts, showing up to online music hangouts urging me to shop at their stores." "

"Many high-priced fruit drinks are trumpeting claims of health benefits from drinking recommended amounts of their bottled juice, instead of eating fruits and vegetables.

Some of those drinks include exotic ingredients like the acai berry which comes from the Amazon region of Brazil. One of the popular drinks, called MonaVie, is not sold in stores but by private distributors who host prospective customers at tasting parties.

A 25-ounce bottle of MonaVie retails for $45. But Victoria Zinser, a Valley distributor, says there are discounted prices for distributors and preferred customers. For example, those who pay a one-time $39 fee can order a four-bottle case for as little as $120, plus shipping. Other discounts are available for bulk and monthly orders. "

"So you're feeling a little thick around the middle and you've heard enough about abstinence and exercise. Wouldn't it be nice if you could pop a pill, stretch out in the BarcaLounger and incinerate calories like a long-distance runner? That's the idea behind a hot herbal supplement called Metabolife 356. Americans are downing it like candy, and some are claiming remarkable results. "Metabolife has been absolutely amazing for me," says 43-year-old Anna Hamersly of Woodbridge, Ill. Hamersly says she weighed about 270 pounds when she started using the product last year. She's now down to 200--and expecting to drop an additional 20 pounds by New Year's. "I feel like a new person," she says.

Launched four years ago by a former San Diego cop with no formal medical training, Metabolife is now one of America's best-selling herbal products. Enthusiasts peddle it from living rooms and kiosks, as well as retail shops. And Metabolife International, the privately held company that produces the stuff, says its sales will approach $1 billion this year--a figure that places Metabolife in the same league as such blockbuster pharmaceuticals as Prozac and Viagra. The catch is that the stimulants it contains can be dangerous: the Food and Drug Administration has warned that products like Metabolife can cause "cardiac arrhythmia and death." Several states have moved to ban or restrict their use, and a few users have filed lawsuits claiming injury. Yet consumers continue to down an estimated 225,000 pills every hour. "

"I've noticed just feeling better day to day, but what's really striking is what other people have noticed.

At first I didn't belive them but it happens so often now that I believe them, it can change your physical appearance".

Dr. Bartlett's children also took the test. "They love pizza and fast foods, they were scanned and it was at a sports shop and they came home and said, dad our score wasn't great. What do I need to do? Which is amazing because we started having the talk about fruits and vegetables". "

"A company, which coincidentally manufacturers "radiation shields" has issued a statement claiming that mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos. The company, BioPro Technology is citing a a study by a neurosurgeon and cancer writer, Dr. Vini Khurana.

"It is anticipated that this danger has far broader public health ramifications than asbestos and smoking," says Professor Khurana. He believes that the three billion people in the world that now use the phones worldwide are at risk and that their death and illness from cell phone use could exceed the harm from smoking.

Noting that malignant brain tumors represent "a life-ending diagnosis," he adds: "We are currently experiencing a reactively unchecked and dangerous situation." He fears that "unless the industry and governments take immediate and decisive steps," the incidence of malignant brain tumors and associated death rate will be observed to rise globally within a decade from now, by which time it may be far too late to intervene medically."
