Herbalife is a scam.

Sure, distributors will tell you that they have great quality and even
better prices, but if you actually look at either... no. Run far away from
this one.

I can assure you that if I were willing to buy into a scam like this, I
would at the very least find a distributor that could spell the name of the
freaking product they're selling...

Here's a news item about the death of the founder of
Herbalife, at age 44. Those herbs sure did him a lot
of good!

http://www.mlmwatch.org/04C/Herbalife/herbalife06.html
http://www.rickross.com/reference/he...erbalife9.html

And here's two link pages to lots of information about
Herbalife -- information that the Herbalife salespeople
don't want you to know:

http://www.rickross.com/groups/herbalife.html

And here's a ton of consumer complaints about Herbalife:

Warning -- this is a 97-page PDF file.

2-8lbs worth of cash out of my bank acount, possibly :-O

What's even scarier is that even though most folks realize MLM when they see
it, there are still a large number of really gullible folks to line the
"upline" pockets ;-(

One would think that Herbalife had already penetrated every
nook and cranny of the world. Last month I came across an
old piece of street spam (aka bandit sign) for Herbalife
in Van Horn, Texas -- a pretty small and remote town in
west Texas! If the spammer here really is an Herbalife
distributor, s/he has to be one of the last people in the
world to fall for this scam!

Than again, there are a lot of people who make a nice living through MLMs.
Remember, they are completely legal and ethical as long as the full details
of the business are clearly disclosed to prospectives.

I went to an Herbalife internal seminar once a few months ago as an invitee
of a friend of a friend. This was a seminar to tell Herbalife distributors
about new products. It was not a sales effort and no one made any effort
to get me to be a distrubutor, although the acquaintance who invited me
did try to sell me some products, but the sell was pretty light handed.
It was odd though because many of the people there (almost all Herbalife
distributors) looked like they were in a cult with sort of glazed over
eyes and going through a canned mantra. I was given some samples of stuff
and most of it tasted artificial. There is no way I could maintain the
diet that they proposed and the products are also expensive if you're
not a distributor.

.... except that he died from a combination of alcohol and Doxepin (an
antidepressant). His blood-alcohol level was 0.21.

No no no, it works like this... spend all your money on Heralife and you
will starve. If used right you will find that you have lost weight.

sure...if you gotta HERD a LIFE each week...sure yule lose that much weight.
but, everyone knows, if you lose that much weight in one week's time, you're
sure too gain it back before you lose all the weight you wanna lose.

if you want to make money, learn how to type or spell first.
