Forever Products and Aloe Vera - MLM/Pyramid?

heartbreak_star

Do you have a local garden centre? Even if they don't sell the plants they might be able to advise a stockist?

Aloe Vera plants are not hard to come by. A garden centre or plant shop would have them

(Or if you know someone who's got a plant already they might let you have a clipping?)

Thanks guys will look into it!
Also could I grow them indoors? I don't want to plant one in the back because my dog would eat the heck out of it.
And another one, I have seen people online give conflicting info about the rate of growth for Aloe. Some say that you won't use up leaves faster than the new ones grow while other say you will and that it takes months for a new one to grow.
I know FLP people say that their aloe takes 7 years to reach maturity...

Hi
I see many posts here about Forever Living, or rather scathingly against it.It is advisable to check the facts before posting - if you did- you would find out that FLP did do clinical trials into benefits of Aloe Vera for IBS and related conditions and had excellent results demonstrating significant improvement on cellular level. On top of that there are thousands and thousands of happy customers and their testimonials, and I have experiences benefits and improvements in various conditions myself and in my family. Secondly, animals do not know of placebo effect and thousands of dogs, horses, etc have healed wounds, improved mobility, injury etc thanks to FLP. This company is highly ethical and has a reputable advisory board of experts.
Forever Living UK is the bearer of Champion Status for Investors in People, a highly regarded award given to companies for outstanding training - look up and see who elese holds it! Further more FLP is the only Network Marketing company in the UK holding that status.
Fnally, please look up Wiki or similar for defintions of Pyramid Selling and Network Marketing - you obviously have no idea.
Forever Living has accreditation by DSA (Direct Selling Association) in the UK and many other accreditations, but that is irrelevant to people who are narrow minded, distrustful and always see negatives in everything. It is your loss indeed.
PS Distributors never make claims of CURE, they provide testimonials of people whose conditions have improved due to Forever Living products. Expanding your team is indeed part of network marketing and enables all parties involved to develop their coaching and management skills and teamwork. Most network marketing companies products are of superior quality, but if you prefer to pay peanuts to get monekeys from high street stores, then - enjoy!

It is not a pyramid scheme and all network marketing efforts take time to yield - some people go up the marketing plan faster than the otehrs. If you expect riches overnight then you are wrong - no one promises that anyway.
I have just bought a ticket for success day - it is £18, is that a fortune? Lots of training is for free and sometimes it costs £15 or £18 to cover admin costs. I would not think that a fortune! This is a business and when you develop a business you need to invest into it - no? Investment in to FLP is absolutley minimal compared to any start up on your own. Hope this helps

I would just say that there is a distinct difference between a pyramid scheme (against the law, not accredited and asking ofr memberhips fees, regualar minimum investments, etc) and newtork marekting which is a reputable and growing industry

Two very good sales pitches from two "new" posters. Both offering people to contact them for advice. Or in other words add more poeple to the team. Very good!

Seems standard for a thread on MLMs or network marketing - they always attract desperate MLM sheep looking to build their downline to increase their pathetic earnings from the scheme.

Both posts reported for touting for business etc.

You could have posted your propaganda (or links to it) on the forum - no need for people to email you for details.

The only reason I can see for you wanting people to contact you by email is so that you can badger them into joining your downline if they are naive enough to show an interest in your "business".

I'm not interested in your research or crappy book and have any intention of giving you my email address so you can spam me with your pathetic attempts to recruit me.

I have reported your original post for containing contact details - so you can either edit the post and remove them or the Forum Team will likely delete your whole post.
