USANA Health Sciences: A Bad Case of MLM? [view article]
I am a Usana associate and I am extremely annoyed with Barry Minkow, and anyone who writes comments about Network Marketing in negative form. Because of this company, I have formed a very successful Usana business with TEAM members in my downline who have done well, also. Becasue of this business, we have become close friends. It brings people together, to do something good, spreading the news about a health lifestyle and creating a stream of income to fit one'ss needs. I am not financially free by any means, but the residual income I earn every month, due to my OWN HARD WORK and WORKING TO BUILD A BUSINESS gives me the comfort I worked hard for. 92% of people who join companies like this fail because they don't work it. They don't have the mentality to be a business owner. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme! I worked my business 14 hours a week for 1.5 years before I started having success. If it was sooooooo easy to be financially rewarded, the percentage rate would be a success of 92%.If you associate yourself with good, honest people who truly care about helping others which is what this is suppossed to be about....then it works and it does. Usana has cancelled associate memberships of people who have been quote behaving unethically.!
People who make negative comments about the network marketing industry need to better educate themselves. There are bad apples in EVERY business! It does not mean that whole thing is bad. If you eat a meal at a bad restaurant, does that mean all restaurants are bad? If you meet a few bad people, does that mean all people are bad?
A second reason for the point requirement is all real businesses have start up costs and overhead to operate the business. Our autoship every four weeks is part of our overhead to operate the business. The good news is you get to eat your overhead.
Berry Minkow is a man of low character and a convicted felon. He spent 8 years in prison for defrauding a lot of people out of $26,000,000 dollars in a stock investment scheme for a carpet cleaning business that he started in California.
As you know he bought "put" options before releasing a bunch of half truths and some outright lies about Usana Health Sciences to the Wall Street Journal. He was paid by a third party to gather and release this information. As a result of his actions, Usana is suing Berry Minkow for defamation and his attempt to manipulate stock prices for his own personal gain. Funny how people never seem to change. Once a crook, always a crook.
Dr. Wentz's has dedicated his entire life to science and helping people overcome sickness and disease. He developed over 40 viral test kits that are used in hospitals and doctors offices all over the world, including the first portable test kit for Epstein-Barr Virus which made him internationally famous in the scientific medical community.
He built the premier health and healing center in the world in Baja California called Sanoviv and brought in some of the best doctors from around the world to staff it. He built a medical center for diagnosis and prevention of disease in Africa with money out of his own pocket. He is building a second such facility in Cambodia with his own money because he sees a need. He has personally donated hundreds of thousands of his own dollars to the Children's Hunger Fund. He donated 10 million dollars to the University he graduated from. He recently won the Albert Einstein Award for outstanding achievement in the life sciences for his vision and commitment to the critical advancement of vital life-saving and life-enhancing technology to benefit mankind. He has never drawn a pay check from Usana. How many CEO's do you know who fall into that category? The bottom line, Dr. Wentz is a real man of global vision dedicated to helping others.
When you compare Dr. Myron Wentz and Usana to Berry Minkow, which one would you want to be associated with and follow?
Have some more sense, all of you and research both sides of the story. Better yet, ask a real Usana associate. Nov 29 02:33 AM
