Aloe 'bloomin' Vera

Firstly I am not trying to sell or promote this product, I just want any inside info about it.

My friend has recently joined up with Freedom Aloe Vera and she is now heavily promoting it to all of her friends.
Not only is she trying to sell us the products but she is also asking us to become a distributor, which means you must part with two hundred English pounds.

Has anyone tried this particular brand of aloe vera?
Does it work?
Is it just another pyramid scam?

I tried one bottle of the gel and I didn't really feel any different but apparently I'm supposed to wait six weeks (which cunningly means I must buy another bottle)
I haven't bought another bottle but I am now wondering if I perhaps there were benefits. I now feel tired and achey.

Hmmmm..

better off beconing an Avon rep if you want some extra cash,don't part with your hard earned especially if you can't really spare it.

They are well known as a pyramid marketing brand. Last time I looked, most of their products were about twice the price of the brand I use (an organic top quality one).

I wouldn't use or sell them or indeed touch with a very long barge pole

you'd be better off buying an aloe vera plant, and using that rather than buying special gel.

Ooh very interesting,
my gut feeling is that it's a waste of money.

It is really expensive as well

I wonder if anyone else has any info. I haven't found much bad press about them, perhaps they are hiding it.

Perhaps I should have posted in another category, I couldn't think wot.
