Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 It is confusing as to which warnings are real, which hype is real, and what perhaps is just one company cutting down others. I have heard basically good things about the Waiora NCD Zeolite. However, there is another liquid zeolite company making a big splash that may not be good or safe at all - The Liquid Zeolite Company. There product is surely much less expensive, but too many red flags have been waved and I now urge everyone to stay away from it - and apologize for every posting the website to begin with. Too bad the Waiora product is MLM. I have yet to see an MLM product that I do not consider overpriced. oleander soup , " bbanever " <bbanever wrote: > > Tony, > > If I may, one more thing as it pertains to NCD.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Some quick comments about Zeolite. Tony, I have seen the article that you sent in, mostly on sites that sell the powdered Zeolite. ;o) I agree whole-heartedly about the MLM part. My “beef” with them are the high prices and the comments that it “cures” everything from cancer to a swollen big toe. Yes, I’m exaggerating – they do, so why can’t I? Other MLM companies have paid high prices (as in having their business shut down) for using these “emotional” words and it is usually the distributors that get them into trouble. And, what is the BEST type of advertising – Marketing 101 tells us that it is always “word-of-mouth.” This is exactly what the MLM companies know. If they can get real people to sell and continually talk about their products, then they WILL make money. People had rather do what their neighbor suggests rather than researhing a health topic on their own. I did a lot of research about the aluminum controversary and I do not believe that it is valid, except for some to try to make liquid zeolite look unsafe. Certainly if people want to pay $40 for a 1-ounce bottle that is up to them, but they are wasting their money. We have a liquid zeolite, made by one of the most knowledgeable guys on the subject of zeolite and how to make liquid zeolite. In fact, some people tried to make sure that he never did “business” again. He also makes a great molecular silver that we carry in-office. Our liquid zeolite is called ZeoMAX and is bound to fulvic acid as a carrier and from what I can tell is close to the same as Quantum Zeolite. We also do not use chemicals to process our zeolite and use a very good from of structured water. Ok…enough for our spill. I believe that zeolite is a good addition for cleansing and especially heavy metals and many people benefit. Don’t you just love Inernet Marketing? I have worked with some of the “big boys” in natural health marketing and it is surprising what they can do with very simple information. All I can do is shake my head. Sometimes I think that when it comes to marketing and advertising, Big Pharma has nothing on natural medicine. ;o) And what is sad is that when the truth is told, no one believes it!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 so my question is, do I stop natural cellular defense that I paid hundreds of dollars for, and do something new???
