Lonny, Thanks for the response! Thanks for all the info as well.
First off, let's clear the air on a couple of these issues.
I haven't ruled out calling you, I just prefer to have this conversation out in the open. I find the whole thing interesting and based on the emails I've received, others feel the same. And thanks for posting my original email to you. You might have noticed that it is pretty much the same as my first post.
So when you say "what are you afraid of?" that seems more like name calling than anything else. I was discussing your product and company, but if you aren't comfortable with that, we can talk about me instead. Frankly though, I don't think that would be very interesting. As for the criticisms I've received, they can all be found under the comments section for each post. Don't get paranoid. Check it out. They're all there. Oh, and your comment that I should "be a man?" Now that's just down right juvenile. Let's keep things on a professional level. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought I was.
I guess I just don't understand why you won't make any claims as to the health benefits of your juice. This is why I keep asking about it. I understand that you want to follow the law and all, and I'm not suggesting that you make claims that you haven't proven first, but it seems a little like you want to "have your cake and eat it too." I can tell you are totally committed to this product because of what you have seen it do. I don't blame you. Can't you imagine how well your company would do if you would simply prove all of the things that you imply with your testimonials?
I suggest that you make some claims. Stand behind your product! Send your it to a lab and have it tested. Get it reviewed by the FDA! It seems that a lot of other companies that sell products I find in the grocery store don't have a problem with it. My milk says that calcium is good for my bones and it doesn't have an FDA disclaimer at the bottom. Even my yogurt talks about the benefits of "live active cultures," without any disclaimer.
So what gives? Is it too expensive to pursue these claims? I'm assuming that is the case. You seem like a good guy, so I couldn't imagine that you aren't pursuing them because you are afraid that some of the testimonials are actually only due to the placebo effect, or some other factor.
Please help me and my readers understand. It seems like a trend among MLM juice companies, to fly under the radar this way. It gives the impression that something unethical is going on. What are your thoughts?
