I commented and corrected her. Post now deleted.

The illegal health claims absolutely baffle me. The ones who don't realise they are not supposed to be doing it get mega defensive when someone points out they are doing something illegal. They get angry and aggressive and think people are out to get them. Even though their own company (supposedly) doesn't allow it, they somehow still manage to get it into their heads that it's ok and they are helping or saving people by making illegal claims.

I feel so sorry for my Bot, she just keeps trying and despite the apparent awesomeness that is JP less and less people are liking her posts and her up line has stopped posting sparkly pictures and "way to go hun"s at her. In fact her up line is absent entirely... Still on the bright side she is now posting pics of her children who have been newly invigorated by the JP Kids Chewables "and they're totally free huns" ❤💋👍💪👫

Well she's now said the post was deleted "so as not to cause offence". Damn those neg ferrets for pointing out she was making illegal health claims. However her partner is busy crowing that they are able to afford to have £100K of work done on their house PLUS go on a cruise thanks to their new "business". What's that about illegal income claims?

I have reported another solicitor to the SRA for using the fact they are a lawyer to add credence to their dodgy MLM recruitment. SRA took it very seriously. Please report to them if you see anyone doing this. (Am a solicitor)

fitgirl26 · 20/08/2017 11:26

And he's now posted how he's "apparently not allowed to make health claims" (no apparent about it mate - you're not) but here's some stuff about Reishi mushrooms curing cancer - oh and guess what's in the coffee. First Bot comment is from the lawyer. Shame that thread where she used the fact she's a lawyer to promote illegal health claims has been deleted.

fitgirl26 · 20/08/2017 12:04

And from the study the Bot has posted:
Authors' conclusions: Our review did not find sufficient evidence to justify the use of G. lucidum as a first‐line treatment for cancer. It remains uncertain whether G. lucidum helps prolong long‐term cancer survival.
Plus I suspect the concentration of the ingredient in the coffee is minuscule. Didn't someone post some research they had done on the coffee?

fitgirl26 · 20/08/2017 12:08

And he's posting photos of a car he's "shopping" for which retails from £140K upwards. What a loathsome couple they are.

fitgirl26 · 20/08/2017 12:33

And now he's had to rephrase his post because people have called him out on his bullshit as he was implying he could afford that car after a week in the "business" 😆

Jonsey32 · 20/08/2017 12:49

fitgirl
Take a deep breath!!
But yes. They are loathsome!!

fitgirl26 · 20/08/2017 12:50

Ha ha! Signing off for now as having a Bot free afternoon at a BBQ 😂

GoldenKelpie · 20/08/2017 13:07

fitgirl, yes there is an article I have read recently whereby the author did a detailed study of each ingredient listed in the coffee and how much is necessary to ingest to have any of the benefits claimed.

He came to the conclusion that the amounts as listed on the ingredients in the coffee were far too small to make any difference whatsoever.

I'll try and find the article and link it on here.

Tw1nsetAndPearls · 20/08/2017 16:33

I have lost days looking up these bots and getting lost in various wormholes. Having suffered from ill health myself it makes me very angry when bots prey on the fears of people who are scared and desperate.

TheRealBarnbot · 20/08/2017 17:13

You are welcome

Spongebobette · 20/08/2017 17:26

Great stuff

Part 2 please!

DoratheExplorer17 · 20/08/2017 17:42

lasagnefortea · 20/08/2017 17:42

Fantastic - look forward to Part 2. I like that you don't mince your words!

darceybussell · 20/08/2017 17:48

I love that TheRealBarnbot is one of us now. I'm also a tiny bit star struck if I'm honest Grin

CurlsandCurves · 20/08/2017 18:17

Flipping awesome work @barnbot!

cozietoesie · 20/08/2017 18:21

'technically' Grin

TheRealBarnbot · 20/08/2017 18:49

That 4 mins wasn't even the worst bit.... she then went on to tell everyone to go "under the radar off social media" and keep selling. Vile company Vile people

GavinFromTradingStandards · 20/08/2017 18:50

Barnbot-you are my favourite bot ever. You're the saviour of bots everywhere Smile

HAHAHA..... what a difference a year makes ;)

darceybussell · 20/08/2017 19:25

Hmm it seems their lawyers are after you, some MLM lawyers went after us once too - Timeless Vie pieced together bits of a famous top leader's videos to show that she contradicted herself over and over about how many hours she worked.

The lawyers did not like that one bit. They managed to claim copyright and get it removed by YouTube in the end... Shame.
