\u201cA very great read seeing how me and my friends have witnessed some of the same promises and tactics. I am doing my own research for my own expose’ that will be posted in the future for my friends that followed us in the name of helping children. I have been forced to do this as I have been questioned by friends of how many kids we have helped and to date Visalus has sent a total 0 contributions to help kids. When asked where the donations are my uplink as well as her uplink and the corporate offices have given me the run around. This article seems to explain a lot. So beware and be weary of trainers supporting them. As a trainer myself the first thing you are taught is to stay away from these types of programs that are more harmful to your client but fattens your trainer\u2019s pocket. This is simply one of many scams in a 52 billion a year industry, promoted by unqualified self-named health specialists. I have always taught that you need to exercise and eat right bottom line, no Gimmicks required!! I got sucked in for the kids because I was promised as a CEO of a Nonprofit, so heed my warning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Did McDowell use this Multi-Level Marketing Company to promote to get people to join in to pay for life style in a huge house and BMW in the garage and not live up to the promises made by her as a Regional Director of ViSalus?<\/p>\n
