We have never made money with these ML M schemes and I do not trust this one either. If the products are decent, they cost too much and most who get involved with them lose money..do not make money. Money is tight for us and I do not want to get 'sucked' in to some scheme that will 'bleed us' of finances we need. My husband is considering getting involved and I need facts to convince him not to go further with it. Can you quickly provide me any info. regarding this? Would appreciate it if you would not print this..I just need some information regarding this. Thanks! Dear Tracy,

Made with an extract from of all things, <i>beans</i>, most researches feel that the pills might have some effect, but have to be taken in amounts far in excess of the daily recommended dosage to achieve any effect whatsoever. In other words, to enjoy any potential benefit, one must take the whole bottle prior to every meal. The researcher stated that just eating the beans themselves has the same effect, that of binding the carbs with proteins and taking them out of the body relatively undigested. One can achieve the same effect simply by having a bowl of beans. Gas just happens to be a by product. Of course you then need another beano-like pill to counter this gaseous problem. Something indeed does 'stinks' about these Amway/Herbalife/Mannatech pills, potions and incredibly overpriced vitamins. The MLM con men, tracing their history to Bible salesmen, snake oil hucksters and traveling scoundrels of all types, is still very much alive and hopes to continue swindling gullible modern folk the way hucksters of old convinced locals that gout and goiter could be cured by an extract of crude oil.
