 Posted: 10/12/07 - 15:20 Post subject: juice plus |
  |
|
| You know as I read everyone's comments - juice plus is an individual choice. I have been on and off of it several times. The longest I took it was for 3 years while I lived in a Third world country where it was very hard to get any fruits and veggies... and then recently when I was pregnant and veggies made me sick, and now with breastfeeding. For me - it has been great. I can tell a difference when I take them - not so much in energy or anything, but I don't get sick. Usually I battle sinus infections and such all year, and when I'm on juice plus - I don't get them at all. But as with all things - what might be great for one person may not be so wonderful for the next. But in my opinion, it's worth investigating to see if it's a life changer for you. It can be costly, but when I calculate how much I've saved on antibiotics and over the counter meds... it's been worth it. And this is from a customer, not a distributor! |

Of course it is ultimately an individual choice but all indications are that this product is a scam and that many misinformed, financially-motivated people are trying to influence our personal choice with deceptive and/or illegal marketing practices – that is the problem. Falling under that category are claims that juice plus can keep people from getting sick or that it can replace antibiotics. If you want to use juice plus as a substitute for antibiotics then go ahead, but anyone who tries to convince others to follow suit should expect to get a lot of flak in response. Anyone who has a serious bacterial infection and forgoes antibiotics in favor of juice plus is running a high risk of seriously hurting themselves or dying. |

|

Juice Plus+ killed my dog.
Whatever you do, do not let your dog eat both bottles in one day. I am so sad now that my dog is gone. I am currently in talks with my lawyer about how much of a settlement we should be pushing for. I think Juice Plus+ knows about the hazards to dogs and I think they will pay.
Please do not lash out against me. I have enough to worry about with my trip to the pet store this weekend. Wish me luck on my replacement pet! |

Well I did a search for Juice Plus. According to National Safety Associates refers to juice plus as “the next best thing to eating fruits and vegetables” and describes the products as containing the “nutritional essence of 17 different fruits, vegetables, and grains”.
But I don't think anything can replace natural fruits and veggies. |

|
|
| juice plus has helped my asthma tremendously, I have had asthma since I was 12 years old and got really bad the last year. I have been told I have GERD, and everything else in the book and have been prescribed every medication known to help asthma and allergies. I started taking juice plus a little over 2 weeks..I did not think it would help me at all. But the past week I have barely had to take my inhaler at all. This is not coincidence. This product has helped me. It may cost $40.00 a month but all my prescription cost well over $100.00 even with insurance. If you have asthma its worth a try... |

| We have heard these testimonials before. juice plus distributors seem to make a hobby of spamming chat rooms with these kinds of illegal miracle cure claims. They just scream SNAKE OIL and SCAM! |

 Hey Congo Jim what is the answer? I bet you have a better one than taking Juice Plus. What product are you promoting? What does it matter if people take juice plus or not? What is your angle? If people do get help and feel better regardless if it's a pyrimd scam--so what. Hey people are feeling better. So what if the research is 50/50 for or against it. No matter what you say the poeple that give the product a chance and see the results will keep taking it. Your babbling is useless. Let's hear your story- did you ever take Juice Plus- was it bad? Do you yourself even know if it works? Tell the truth...is your mom a distributer that drove you crazy with her ranting about the product? |

The “answer” is on the table but if it needs to be repeated, so be it -- juice plus is a scam; a very deceptively marketed product with little if any value, sold by a shady company at an insanely high price to support an inefficient and cult-like multilevel marketing network.
Consumer warnings against juice plus are rolling out monthly. Most recently, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSIP) and KATU-TV in Seattle both issued negative reports on Juice Plus.

One of the many problems with juice plus is that pushy uneducated distributors are spamming the internet with misleading information, relentless sales pitches, inane stories about how it cures everything from the common cold to cancer, and blanket denunciations of anyone who criticizes the product. These are hallmarks of a snake oil scam. And trying to distract people from legitimate criticism of juice plus by calling it “useless babbling” is plainly dishonest.
I don’t have a problem with people taking juice plus per se. However, I do have a problem with people who lie and talk smack in their attempts to con people into buying Juice Plus. I also have a huge problem with the many dishonest distributors who are fraudulently promoting juice plus as a prenatal supplement and as a cure for cancer. There is a special level of hell for such ruthlessly exploitative people.
If I were promoting another product (and I’m obviously not), I would have promoted it already. It’s apparent that that this silly accusation is nothing more than a diversionary tactic; the last resort of someone who has absolutely no ability to defend juice plus against the unanimous criticism it has received from independent experts. There is a slew of products (made by various manufacturers) that are much better alternatives to Juice Plus. They cost a fraction of the price, list their ingredient amounts on the label, and they aren’t marketed by cheats and liars. If I thought the request for advice on alternative products was sincere, I might even offer a few suggestions, but it seems that it is coming from another irate juice plus distributor that doesn’t want to lose sales but who has nothing substantial to add to the discussion.
And let’s leave the moms out of this, shall we. That’s clearly just another lame diversionary tactic that desperate juice plus distributors are told to use when they run out of ammunition, and it’s another black mark against the product. Is it possible to sink any lower? Shameful! |
