potassium supplement 06/30/2011 7:02:00 AM
Potassium is a mineral that harbors electrical properties when it is dissolved in the fluid part of the blood and, as such, it is classified as anelectrolyte. It is a nutrient that is critical to life as it is required for the proper functioning of cells, including the cells of the heart muscle. It works closely with its cousin sodium - another electrolyte – in maintaining the body's proper balance of fluids and acid-base. More specifically, potassium controls the amount of fluid inside cells while its cousin sodium maintains the balance of fluid outside cells.

Ok, first of all I am a proud, and dare I say it, healthy Bazi Distrubutor. Although reluctant when I first tried the product and later when I seen the 'plan', I still kept an open mind and eventually became a distributor after actually using it for three months. I researched the product, the company and my upline. I am a Detective by trade so it is in my nature to be very thorough and I could not find anything wrong with any of them. I used to be in Amway for a few years back in the mid 90's and can tell you that even though I did not make any real money I had a friend who did very well, it just wasnt for me. This on the other hand is smoken. Not only do I use and love the product but my wife does as well. I am a competitive martial artist and have been a SWAT team member for years as well as a former U.S. Army Paratropper and as such I have used all kinds of nutritional supplemts and never found anything close to Bazi, I feel great, my wife and kids are great and even my dog is feeling it. It is clearing up his arthritis and joints. Also, the compensation plan is by far the best I have ever seen as well. Basically this business rocks and the best thing I have ever done was to be part of it. Anyone can sit back and say something wont work or they failed at it. Truth is this business works if you work it, I am seeing that in my buisiness now. Jeff

Thank you for the time you put into this article. I was considering becoming a distributor, but something didn't feel right. After reading your article, I am definitely not getting involved with this company.

Years ago, another multi-level company NUSkin promised the same benefits as this company. It too promised wealth and good health to those who joined their rank and file. I watched as many of my friends got sucked up into this scam. Folks, do your research. Don't believe the hype of these people. Companies like this make alot of money fast and then they are gone. This one too will fail. Do you want to feel healthy? Stop smoking. Drink lots of water. Get restful sleep and avoid charlatans like these who sell their snake oils and dupe you of your money.

Steve... your comment: "You recruit 4 people who recruit 4 people who recruit 4 people. There's 12 people you've recruited." isn't quite accurate. I think the rest of your comments are spot on... but to get a sense of the futility of these types of pyramid schemes one must understand that if I recruit 4 people who recruit 4 people who recruit 4 people then we're really up to (1+4+16+64=) 85 people.. not the 12 stated. To involve 12 people would be "I recruit 4 people who recruit 1 person who recruit 1 person".
The truly concerning thing about this whole article is the lady with the gnats breeding in her nasal cavity. This has never been recorded in human history and needs immediate follow-up. Or... she needs her head examined (and not just for gnats).

I'm a MonaVie distributor, yes a distributor, a proud one! No, I'm not making any money yet, but I have faith, I believe in the product and the company. I agree with the last post, you have to look for a company with good people leading it. We were at our meeting last night (200+ faithful) and we talked a lot about this article...in this industry there is too many people who are cheats and this company obviously has one. I looked at this company when I decided to join MLM (proud to say MLM) and this is one of the reasons why I didn't join, I know this guy, I've done business in Denver and why anyone would want to join when they know this guys history is beyond me...but hey, it's your choice. MLM is not easy, you gotta do some work, and you'd hate to do all that work to be cheated by the company later!

There�s plenty of grist for both versions of the story: are these scams for the vulnerable or great opportunities for the enterprising individual who really works at it? You told them both well. Who hasn�t been at least titillated at the thought of quitting their jobs and making a mint being their own boss?
I notice the work involved is one of the things often undersold in these schemes. No doubt it�s possible to make good money here, but even the most foolproof models require the will to work them. For me, when the work involves aggressive selling to the sellers, that can be a red flag. I once went with a friend to an Equinox meeting back in the �90s and the proceedings had a cult-like focus on recruiting, recruiting, recruiting. I took a pass.
On a personal note, I couldn�t help but chuckle at the account of the recruiting session that showed attendees the scenario by which they could make up to $800 a day.
Last week, my client, Richard Schuh of Colorado Book Service, called me from the field, where he was buying textbooks at a local campus. He doesn�t do rah-rah seminars, but he has become quietly successful in a niche almost nobody�s heard about.
Anyway, Richard was telling me he�d had a slow day: $800. He doesn�t do it every day, but he does it often enough to make a good living. It puts affordable textbooks back into the hands of college kids, and he doesn�t need 1,024 people under him to do it. Imagine that.
Thanks for the great story.

I'm a person who believes in network marketing, I have been in the industry for almost 10 years (on and off). I do understand some of the comments made and I agree, to a point. The industry is filled with a lot of "scams". The industry and the concept is not a scam, but there are bad businesses. I do not think people would say Avon or Mary Kay are bad businesses and they are network marketing. However, this article shows you have to be careful in choosing the company. Not in the industry or the product but the people. Bad businesses are set up by bad people. If you have someone who has bad business practices in the past, which it seems this founder has, you may have issues. I appreciate this article, I wish it showed the benefits of network marketing better, but it clearly showed what to be careful in the industry, the people!

If Madeline McFadden, Barry Fey & Vance Johnson endorsed, man, I'd buy some with that triple threat from the 80's. You think Martino plowed money into it?

Schemes, schemes and more schemes. The people behind these schemes are no different than those who walk into a bank and rob it!

The way I look at it, anyone who gets involved in multi-level marketing needs to be prepared to work their butt off. You recruit 4 people who recruit 4 people who recruit 4 people. There's 12 people you've recruited. Out of the 12, half of them don't do anything at all except buy the product(s). After a while, they likely get discouraged and drop out entirely because they aren't selling anything. If you really work it, you might still have half of them as customers but not downline after a year or two. Of the remaining 6, 5 of them got discouraged when they didn't make a grand a week just putting in 5 hours a week of work recruiting. So you recruit 12 people directly or indirectly to end up with 1 person in your downline who is only an average producer(maybe).
There is a lot of smoke and mirrors in MLM. Talk about your best month and hope that no one finds out it was 2 years ago. Mention your best downline salesman who sold 5000 cases in one month, but don't mention that he's no longer active, having sold all he could to his Elk Lodge and Boy Scout troop before running out of fresh meat. Smoke and mirrors, and get as much money while you can from a fish before he gets off the hook and swims away.

The article is solid, well done. It can be summed up in one word though, pyramid!
