I agree that some people will give a testimonial for placebo, but it's the repeat customers that make or break the company. And to themselves, their opinions are subjective but not worthless. I'd like to point out that we also have the opinions of health professionals who have the experience of a one-to-many relationship and so can observe trends of data, unscientific though that may be it's still clinical experience. > > It's also possible that someone may have a significant > deficiency in one nutrient.

More than possible, probable in my view... Body Balance will be superior to solid supplements, according to the doctors' text " Harper's Biochemistry " , so perhaps better able to provide the missing component in bioavailable form. regards, Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 > Usana looks good but it is still MLM which is NOT. Why is it all these > MLM 's are from SLC Utah?? > Direct marketing has been proven to be a viable way to promote a product, so many of the best products out there are sold this way rather than in stores. But many of these products can be retailed as well. An issue for some people is the company's marketing plan, which means very little to the beneficiary of the product. In other words, who is in a position to criticise the company's business model? Products don't necessarily cost more by MLM; Immunocal fetches double US retail in countries with retail but no MLM, and you can get it for 60% of retail here, or even lower. And Body Balance can be purchased for substantial savings if a person puts larger orders in. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
