Are you Thinking About Starting a "Cleanse" like the Hollywood Stars? Read my story before you do....

Cleansing diets are popular among the Hollywood-set, and wouldn't we all like to lose a little weight while we cleanse our bodies of toxins? Yes! BUT, be careful....not all companies you buy from have your health at heart. I know firsthand. You've seen them, pretty "pitch pages" of colorful and attractive advertising designed to suck you in and not let you go until you've bought their wares. I wanted to see what the hype was all about on some of those "pitch pages" that show before and after photos and sell Acai and Cleansing Detox herbs. So to see what our "competition" was selling I signed up for a "free trial" of their "fabulous" products and tried them myself.

I was most interested in how these "vendors" treated the customer; the person they spend so much time and so much money advertising to. So I signed up for the free trial and received the product. As suspected, the ingredients listed were no different from products from more reputable supplement sites, that can be found just by searching Google.

Now came the fun bit - canceling my "subscription." And I use the term "fun" loosely. First off, you will not be able to cancel online. They make you call an offshore operator who would be better labeled a "retention specialist." So I called, told them I wanted to cancel, and faced another 35 minutes of retention tactics designed to keep me paying $70 per MONTH for products that can be found for way less.

I got transferred to multiple departments, "sold" and resold the same story over and over about how great their product was and "for just 50% less than the monthly subscription, we can offer you..." blah blah blah... I finally DID get the subscription canceled - on my 3rd phone call attempt. What happened next angered me. Within a few days, they proceeded to hound me and called dozens of times over the next several weeks until I threatened to report them!

I feel sorry for anyone who gets coerced into this ridicule. It really doesn't have to be that difficult. If you want to buy quality cleansing formulas (even Acai) from a reputable company and not be badgered after doing so, try EdibleNature.com (online since 2001) We offer the best quality brands without all the hassle... it really can be that easy!

Supplements Prove Beneficial for Diabetics

Jon Benninger, president of the DSEA board, said, "We weren't surprised to find that people who have diabetes and use dietary supplements report they're in better health than those who don't use dietary supplements. We controlled for variables, so we're confident in this result." To read the complete article, click here.
