Looking for NEGATIVE reviews of Isagenix

I developed a brain lesion on my third day on Isagenix. I started falling down like I was seasick. The isagenix rep told me it was a normal part of cleansing but it was a serious medical issue and I needed to go to the hospital. The attack left me paralyzed on one side for weeks. Lots of steroids and time brought my mobility back but made me gain weight. I was diagnosed with relapse-remitting MS. My neurologist doesn't think there was a link but I've always wondered. I stopped Isagenix immediately and haven't had an attack since

I realize this is a little late but I have been using Isagenix for two months. I have not lost much weight. I could have lost more on weight watchers. This past weekend I went away without my shakes. My hunger and cravings were unsatiable. I couldn't stop eating. I was constantly hungry. I came back today and started the product today and all is fine. My concern is that when I do decide this isn't for me, my weight will escalate.

I use isogenix and Im having good results with their product Im using. I have friends that are using Isogenix and are having wonderful results.

Day 7 ending ...Extremely uncomfortable thirst and dry mouth during the clense. Nothing I've tried gets rid of it. I can't get enough water down.. I'm afraid I'm going to choke in my sleep my throat is so dry. I had a cough when I started. Not sure what's causing what but my body does not like it yet. I also have had a twitch in my leg at night during the clense.

There are many issues that can cause IBS. How is the PH of your body? Have you done a Candida cleanse? What foods are you eating?
What nutrients are you taking? How is you Vitamin D and Magnesium levels? Are you taking friendly bacteria and digestive enzymes? Have you tested your iodine levels? Have you done a detox (Read The Detox Book - how to detoxify your body to improve your health, stop disease and reverse aging by Bruce Fife, N.D. -Piccadilly Books) There is a test you can try for everything you put in your body. Hold your arm out straight. Have someone push down on top of your hand as you try to push upwards. Feel where the pressure is. Now hold the food (or whatever nutrients, etc) in your other hand. Do the test again. If you are not able to push upwards at the same pressure as before (or the person can easily push your arm down) then this is not good for your to take.

I bought this product  about 30 days ago. the first day I was very excited and the shake fills you up but then I started not feeling good in the afternoon, got a headache and then I was extremly sick. If I had the flu, it was the worst one I ever had. Sick for 2 days and lost 4 pounds. Then I waited 2 weeks and tried it again and that day got really sick. I lost 2 pounds.   I waited about 4 days and tried again, SICK again.

I'm not sure if that is the strategy but I am not going to continue taking this. Having said that, many of my frinds have lost weight and seem to enjoy this weight loss program.

Been on the products for 4 yrs rarely missing the 5 pillers .....no flu , no cold , havnt been sick 1 minute and basically at 52 yrs of age feel better than when I was 32 .......Oh and guess what .....I don't sell this product .......that's the funny part and in fact I hate the ones who's only agenda is to make money !! My only goal is to live full of vitality until at least 120 ! :)

Isagenerics places a person on about 1500 calories a day, Women needs 1800-2350 and Men 2400-3000 calories per day (as per health organizations recommendations). This alone explains the weight loss for those using the product. You can achieve the same results by reducing your calorie intact on food without the Isagenix products. However counting calories is a waste of time and has been proven that in the short term, what weight you lost is put back on quickly and at times more, compared to your original weight prior to the program.

Once off the Isagenix program your body goes into shock when you start eating again. It believes it will be facing another famine and starts storaging food in your body in the form of fat. What I have forgotten to add is that, by reducing your calorie intake your metabolism slows down as well, once you start eating normally your metabolism is barely operating to fight against the fat.

Isagenics is a waste of money and time

Since using Isagenix in the past two weeks I have expereinced two major acnce breakouts in that time, brought on by using the products. The product is stacked with sugar!!

IsaLean Bar has 25g per 100 ml and the Shake is 18g and Chocolate Snacks is 41.7g.

Do you know that you can purchase Soy Milk 2g, Musseli 7g, Granolla Bar 12g and Coke is 40g per 100 ml, Tim Tm (1 biscuit) equals to 23g?

Isagenix is laced with suguar

Obviously prior to using the product your eating habits were terrible hence why you signed up to isagenix. All isagenix offered was force you into a control diet the same could have been done without the product if you wanted too. With better eating habits comes better health theirfore it's not product but the practise of being health that did the trick

You receive good results as you have finally decided to follow a strict diet. You could easily do the same things without using isagenix, by eating only 1500 calories (same as isagenix), take multi vitamins, D, Mag and Zinc. As yet to see any value in the product under receiving a blender! But for $600+ it's an expensive blender.

Reading through the comments I keep seeing negative posts countered by positive posts for the product with the following statement - your body is detoxing from all the chemicals in your body (mind you isagenix adds non natural chemicals into you body if you use it), the cleansing helps remove all the toxic chemicals (you take a cleansing powder 4 times a day, you don't eat at all besides chewable chocolate lollies full of sugar might as well eat licorice)....don't get con with the hype it's a low cab diet with vitamins and detox (you can buy that off the shelf).

You body was probably in the process of alkalising which is why you were feeling "sick", I've been on the products in combination with a healthy whole food diet and I have never felt better. The company is a network marketing company, which is a legal business model. Pyramid schemes are illegal on the other hand. I would suggest that all the haters do a bit more research before bagging a product that is changing the health of thousands of people around the globe! It will become a household name due to it's success within the next 5-10 years!

Isn't that interesting nobody mentioned "Pyramid Scheme" but you did.

Definition from wiki about pyramid scheme - "in which the sales force is compensated not only for sales they generate, but also for the sales of the other salespeople that they recruit. This recruited sales force is referred to as the participant's "downline", and can provide multiple levels of compensation. Other terms used for MLM include pyramid selling"...ouch!!!!!! this is Isagenix hence why its being bagged...As for household name err dont think so! if you bothered to complete research the $650 (presidential pack) a month you pay $7800 a year. I can purchase a whey powder, multi vitamins and a detox program that is going to cost me $1000 a year AND still get the same results....The remaining $6800 can be spent going overseas, gym membership, yearly health insurance and whole new wardobe. Yep money well spent! ....you just got conned.

Yeah I know your product very well and you facebook cult like following you have. Have ALL your web site links, product samples, social media stuff, youtube movie production videos, know where all those weekly seminars are occurring, the training of sales teams (that is you) to build the hook (yes you have special little seminars for that) and of course literature that associated with the products.

Its another pyramid selling product just like Tupperware, Avon, Nutrilite and Amway remember them?
IsaGenix is clever they are playing on the emotional card
