Mannatech investigative report on this week's 20/20

[Guest guest]

This week on " 20/20 " [Friday night, 10 Eastern, on ABC] …

 

" We also report on Angie Rhoads, a 22-year-old college student diagnosed

with brain cancer who opted to take megadoses of the food supplement

Ambrotose instead of undergoing radiation and chemotherapy after

surgery. Ambrotose sells so well that Forbes magazine named Mannatech,

the company that makes it, one of the fastest-growing companies of 2006.

Jim Avila leads a three-month undercover investigation, attending

Mannatech sales meetings around the country, to see firsthand if sales

associates are falsely selling their product. Avila also confronts

Mannatech's founder and CEO Sam Caster to find out what the sugar pill

really does and to find out what the company does to stop its sales

force -- who are not employees -- from making false health claims. "

 

Could be interesting.

Oh yeah, real interesting I bet! Just the thing that the natural

health advocates need while the government is trying to seize control

of our access to supplements and alternative treatments - some MLM

and/or scam operation that will allow them to label all natural

supplements and manufacturers as suspect.

 

I wonder where they got the idea for their investigation? Certainly

no one would touch the story I sent them repeatedly about a bogus

Cancer Drug operation that cost at least one person his life.

 

I do not trust any supplement that is marketed solely via MLM and via

massive sales efforts, hyped claims and testimonials.
