> I have been supplementing my diet now for about 6 years and have found they really do help. I feel very confident in the products I take. They are 100% organic and contain no fillers.
1) I believe a diet that must be supplemented is not a good diet.
2) If the products are organic, then the active chemical(s) are already packaged in filler (the plant material). Opium is 100% organic, as is the nightshade plant (belladonna).> They are pre-mixed, encapsulated for convenience and carry a full money back guarantee.
3) Under what conditions are these products pre-mixed? Can we assume sterile conditions?
4) How long before processing have were the plants harvested and at what time of day? SJW picked at night does not hold it's potency as well as SJW picked in the morning.
5) How can we be sure of a money back guarantee? Is this 'nameless' company registered with the Better Business Bureau?
> You can purchase them by mail order with help and advice obtainable from a Herbalist who is only a phone call away.6) What is this herbalist's qualifications? Is he/she registered with an association of some sort? Is there more than on herbalist and , if so what are their qualifications? Would this herbalist recommend a competitor's brand if it was a product that was more appropriate for a given malady?
> If you e.mail me your address I will forward you some details.
7) If I e-mail you my address, will I be getting more spam in my box?
8) Is this the "hook" for a high pressure sales pitch?
> Hoping to hear from you soon.9) Are you trying to sell me something?

Chris - I would like to see the efficacy trials that have been done with these products (no anecdotal evidence, please). What kind of quality control does this organization use? How is efficacy testing done? Your posting sounds to me like a sales pitch. Is this an Amway-like pyramid scheme? Would you become my regional sales manager?Please refrain from selling your merchandise on a very serious bulletin board. I find your methods to be very sleazy and to pick on those who are in a fragile state with promises and claims you could never back up is disgraceful and unethical.
Please leave - Cam W.
