A Little About Me Part 2

I had my plan in place. I was either going to convince my boyfriend how insane he was, or I was going to torture him.

I proceeded to do a little investigative work. What better way to tear down an MLM than to look for law suits? I spent many hours over several months scouring for dirt. There are literally thousands of law suits against MLM's and their distributors, but not one against this particular MLM. This one seemed to be clean.

I then tried a different focus. I searched for BBB complaints, FDA complaints, FTC complaints. I found something!!!!! I found awards and recognition.

Feeling frustrated, I decided to go to the people. We often have complaints that we don't make public. We often have situations where we could bring a law suit against someone, but we either don't have the money to do it or we simply chalk up the negative experience to a "learning experience". I jumped on anti-MLM message boards, anti-MLM chat groups, anti-MLM forums and asked what they thought of this company.

The replies can be categorized in three headings:
1 - the products are great, I buy them
2 - the company is solid and honest
3 - All MLM's are Baaaaaaad, I can't tell you any specific negative experience because I don't have any, but all MLM's are Baaaaaad.

Just a note here - I expect specifics not generalities. Visiting one state in the U.S. doesn't let you know what to expect from other states. One bad MLM doesn't make the entire industry bad. So I reject, out of hand, what my attitude was displaying. (That's a woman, and I'm darned proud of it)

My boyfriend decided to get me a gift set of facial products for a Christmas present, with an ulterior motive of trying to convince me, I'm sure. I couldn't admit it immediately, but I loved it all. It far surpassed the effects I was getting with my store-bought facial care items. After using these products for a few months, I notice a very strange thing...

I had three scars on my face from chickenpox when I was a child. One of those scars had a little bit of nerve damage, it tingled when I touched it. After a few months the tingles went away and the two smallest scars had disappeared!

A few months later, I told my mother about it. She took a look at my face and laughed. She said, "NO! You haven't healed two scars! You healed all three!"

I figured that I'd better go to one of those meetings and find out more about this company.

Frustrated and defeated, I joined my boyfriend at one of those meetings...
