This is just a taste of the 'Prosperity Gospel' bullshit behind 'Genistar Ltd.'

clarinsgirl · 13/02/2016 21:04

That's incredible Monkey. What the fuck is the 'gold standard for scientific evidence'? Presumably not actual scientific evidence...

clarinsgirl

The full fairy story, of which the 'gold standard for scientific evidence' is just one of many impressive-sounding phrases, is to be found here.

Strangely, The JP fairy story doesn't begin with the phrase: 'Once upon a time:'

darceybussell · 13/02/2016 21:26

Hahahaha! That really is the gold standard of bollocks! 'Protects dna' - wtf does that mean! Does it stop people stealing my dna and framing me for crimes?

monkey3691 · 13/02/2016 21:37

Here's another great JP bot post.I know you guys talk mainly about FL but some of the Juice Plus stuff beggars belief

I like how they've made the lettering nice and faint, presumably so that no one will notice they're making ludicrous health claims.

lastuseraccount123 · 13/02/2016 21:47

yeah Juice PLus is so amazing no normal business with normal people could possibly sell it.

Reduces c sections, the ground up fruit and veg in their tablets is so powerful it actually turns breech babies round!

Giriffraffe · 13/02/2016 21:59

Prea clampsia?? HmmShock
I really need to name-change and share my Facebook bot stories soon.

Eyespying · 13/02/2016 22:00

monkey3691 I don't know if you've seen this (unofficial) 'Juice Plus' video. It appeared on the Net at the back end of last year. It's been listed under 'comedy' on Youtube.

monkey3691 · 13/02/2016 22:21

No I've not seen that particular video its unbelievable isn't.But not only all the ludicrous medical claims they actively and aggressively recruit along the FL model

RainOhJoyus · 13/02/2016 22:22

No! Please tell me Bear Grylls is not involved in juice plus? Googled and seemed alot of pictures of him with it. Nooooooo

monkey3691 · 13/02/2016 22:30

Yes it seems that Bear Grylls is endorsing JP but I bet he doesn't fully comprehend the full MLM scam

toriap2 · 13/02/2016 22:32

I have just seen a matched betting thing on FB where the person who refers gets a bonus for referring people. Is this the same kind of thing?

NameChangeDuh · 13/02/2016 22:37

Bear Sad
Wonder what the best way to give him a gentle heads up is.

MrGrumpy01 · 13/02/2016 22:40

That '5hrs a week for 5 yrs' quote annoys me so much, because in reality we all know, as does he, is that it is absolutely nothing like that. It annoys me that people post this nothing it is a load of rubbish and that they are doing much more than that.

I have had thoughts about anti-mlm memes, ones about life/work balance, the benefits of working etc but then I think they are either a) passive aggressive and/or b) would leave everyone else wondering what we were going on about.

MrGrumpy01 · 13/02/2016 22:42

Nothing should be knowing

clarinsgirl · 13/02/2016 22:54

Interesting, could affect some #bossbabes.

Like many celebrities, Edward Michael 'Bear' Grylls can be rented by the appearance, and here's his inflated price.

www.govivaspeakers.com/speaker/bear-grylls/

If it costs up to $100k to hire this over-grown boy scout for one motivational speech, imagine how much he will have charged the 'Juice Plus' racketeers for a full useful idiot endorsement. Bear Grylls will almost certainly have pocketed millions of stolen dollars out of this racket, and he's hardly likely to want to face the truth.

Selling youself to the highest bidder seems to run in the Grylls family, because Edward Michael is the son of Conservative politician, Sir Michael Grylls, who was implicated in the cash-for-questions affair.

BSintolerant · 13/02/2016 23:19

Darcey I can see how Jizz Plus could sort out breech babies. If I were an unborn breech baby clued up about J P and my mother was using it I'd flip myself over and be out of that uterus like shit off a shovel to get away from that stuff.

CubicZirconiaBossyBabe

This would appear to be yet another variation of the notorious 'travel agency MLM' racket.

This video-link, featuring Robert FitzPatrick, gives a very good explanation.
