USANA Health Sciences: A Bad Case of MLM?

Re: your comment that "the promise of exponential income growth belies reality—the average income for North American Associates in 2005 was $802.62". I joined USANA as a distributor in 1998, after becoming interested in its products. Although I did initially consider developing a business, I was too busy teaching to spend the time necessary to do so. Having now retired from teaching, I have begun to work at developing my own USANA business group. I spent almost a decade consuming USANA's products (we are forbidden by law and company policy from making anecdotal comments regarding, for example, such things as consistently obtaining outstanding results from personal use, such as significantly reduced duration and intensity of colds, et cetera, which might suggest that the high quality of the product's patented components could have had anything to do with such a claim, so I will refrain from commenting on my reasons for paying more for a supplement that actually fully dissolves in your system than I would have for the bedpan bullets you can pick up at any drugstore). As someone who initially intended to develop a business, but did not do so, I am among the many who helped to bring the average income down to fewer than one thousand dollars. The upside of this is that I was never asked to relinquish my distributorship for lack of productivity. Now you tell me this: wouldn't it truly have been a pyramid scheme had I been making money all these years, even though I wasn't doing the business? I take USANA's products for the same reason that you drive what you do, instead of the kind of vehicle that has more vertical miles than horizontal ones. Mr. Phillips, you need to sit down and have a chat with Dr. Wentz and his management team. You literally don't know what you're missing, in more ways than one.
Sincerely,
Terri Estes
