You can't so much as scratch an itch without her telling you that if you took juice fucing plus then you wouldn't have an itch.

Today we got told that some people ignored Mark Z when he wanted to set up FB...we are all going to feel like them when we realise we haven't bought in to JP like she has :(

Really viking ? I can't see how replacing 2 meals a day with shakes would be remotely healthy during pregnancy .

I think the crux of it is she knew I wouldn't be interested in trying to lose weight at that time.

Mrsjayy · 10/02/2015 09:13

I bet the selling kits for this guff costs a fortune . There is a cosmetics 1 that keeps popping up on my fb a friend shares a friend s page daily

ToffeeCaramel · 10/02/2015 09:15

How are the people using their kids to sell it?

GertyD · 10/02/2015 09:15

It's probably only a matter of time before they are sluicing out their arse holes with it any way, in some colonic energize and detox fuckery.

One of DH's relatives messaged me on FB on the weekend about 'an amazing business opportunity', and asked for my number so we could arrange a face to face. Bet my right kidney it is something to do with Forever Living or Juice Plus. It is a shame as I quite liked her until I got that message....

KeemaNaanAndCurryOn · 10/02/2015 09:22

We don't get much juice plus or the other stuff out in the sticks. Thank god.

Just eat a fecking apple.

Juice plus cures typos

It's flim flammery. Surprised DH hasn't fallen for it. Anything new food wonder stuff written about it his men's health / fitness magazine finds its way into the house. Beetroot, walnuts, coconut oil - every month something different. Supplements as well. I keep telling him if his mags told him to eat his right bollock fried in unicorn blood he'd be asking me where the sharp knives are kept.....

Letmeeatcakecakecake · 10/02/2015 09:33

A friend of mine recently had a baby and within weeks she, along with some other recently post partum mothers were being tagged in a post by someone trying to sell them juice plus to lose the baby weight!! RUDE!

Forever living is aloe vera just googled it hasn't aloe been an in thing before

grumbleina · 10/02/2015 09:56

To be fair I've had an Aloe plant for about fifteen years that I basically don't do anything to at all except occasionally batter around, snap bits off or drop things on accidentally and it's still alive, so maybe 'forever living' isn't such a bad term.

Unsure how to make my aloe's immortality transfer to myself though. Am I supposed to eat it?

Mrsjayy · 10/02/2015 09:59

Has antioxidants apparently just suck on a leaf

Eminybob · 10/02/2015 10:02

Oh is that what forever living is? Do you drink it, use it on your skin? I'm sure I've seen people peddling it for weight loss/detox, but also as a some kind of skincare?

I was in lanzarote last year and every other shop/market stall was an aloe Vera shop

wasabipeanut · 10/02/2015 10:04

Aloe gel is amazing on burns. It just seems to arrest the burning process. My MIL had an aloe plant & when I spilt boiling coffee on my arm she cut a bit off and squeezed all the goo on my arm. It stopped hurting and didn't even blister.

This juice plus stuff sounds shit though - not even heard of it before now!

DropYourSword · 10/02/2015 10:06

*want to tell my friend to shove her juice plus up her arse?

Does it work better if administered rectally? I reckon you could probably convince her so!

Zucker · 10/02/2015 10:09

Juice plus is "the next best thing to fruit and vegetables".

I love this. For some reason I imagine the peddlars of this crap to illustrate their point using the homer Simpson method of juicing.

"You mean there's another way?"

Mrsjayy · 10/02/2015 10:10

Its a range of products skincare drinks blah blah yy to every second shop in the canaries being an aloe shop I got after sun use it after a bath its lovely

Gemzybelle · 10/02/2015 10:14

I have a juice plus cult member friend who has started making comments about losing baby weight now that my due date is getting nearer.

I told her I intend to be holding new baby in one arm and a massive tiramisu in the other.

Rude bastard

Staywithme · 10/02/2015 10:16

wherethefuck
I'm so sorry you're going through this.

I had someone, who I really liked up to this point, preach to me in the local park about alternative meds. She rattled on to me how I should try this shit (can't remember the name) as it could cure my husband's terminal cancer. I explained that NOTHING will cure his cancer as it's in nearly every bone in his body, but the fucker she kept going on about how it really worked as there was evidence that it worked. Asked her if she knew the people it worked on? "No, but it really works" feck of you twat! Guess that friendship is over.

kinkyfuckery · 10/02/2015 10:20

It's like frigging cult!

Zucker · 10/02/2015 10:22

I'm trying to find it on the web but can't see it now. But isn't there something dodgy about the big range rovers/ cars they get through Forever Living? They don't own them or they're rented to them or they only have the car so long as the sales are pumping in.

askyfullofstars · 10/02/2015 10:22

toffee...This lovely product, along with smiley smiley photo's of her DS, and messages about how she is doing the best for his future.......

wherethefuck I'm sorry you are going through this.

to want to tell my friend to shove her juice plus up her arse?

Zucker · 10/02/2015 10:22

Juice Plus not Forever living in post above D'oh

askyfullofstars · 10/02/2015 10:23

Oh and staywithme , I don't know how you didnt punch her.

Staywithme · 10/02/2015 10:23

Sorry, that should have been "feck off you twat!"

Staywithme · 10/02/2015 10:25

I don't know how you didnt punch her.

I couldn't leave go of the dogs I was walking.

wasabipeanut · 10/02/2015 10:39

I really can't fathom how people believe this shit can cure cancer. God it's so sad.

I have huge sympathy for anybody who has had bastard cancer or a loved with one with the disease who has been subjected to this hurtful, stupid, ill informed shit.

If anybody had tried this when my dad was dying of lung cancer I'm not sure I would have been able to stop myself telling them to fuck off out of my life.
