Mannatech?

(scratches head and looks stupid) If we buy the product through your link do you make any money from the sale? Not that I'm against anybody making money... (and no,before anybody asks... I don't own any stock in Caphosol :lol: )

Interesting company, I'd never heard of it before-looks like they have a money back policy in place now, if you used the product previously and were unhappy....

Two weeks after being sued, Mannatech released new sales and marketing guidelines for its associates, including an order to immediately stop using questionable materials. The attorney general had said Mannatech's "deceptive practices" pose a health risk to seriously ill consumers. Mannatech also announced a satisfaction-guaranteed refund policy for customers after the suit was filed.

The company has long employed Web crawlers to search the Internet for new Mannatech Web pages set up by its growing league of sales associates; "but we've stepped it up" in light of the lawsuit, Mr. Persinger said.

"Our associates can not make disease claims, but there are a lot of associates out there and laws are different around the world on what you can say on Web sites," he said.

Yes, why the hostility?! That is not what I was asking for. Gentleheart has been very kind in her exchanges and, to me, has been giving thoughtful information that has been helpful to me. I do not feel that she is forcing any product on us, at all.

I bumped this thread because I wanted credible information refuting what Mannatech claims. Not a witch-hunt. I have read opinions of drs. from Johns Hopkins and other hospitals, athletes, someone from the patent office. Most were "looking" to refute their product, and ended up realizing that it's a good product.

Emma ~ thanks for the thoughtful response. I will look at those websites that you listed.

I can appreciate the good, kind, helpful sharing of information going on here in this thread. After all, that is the whole point of this forum.

My family started on the glyconutrients products back in late 2004 because someone was kind enough to share with us.

After using the products for a couple of months.... I noticed nothing myself, but my siblings and mother had great results. For me, it was not until after using enough of the products regularly for about 6 months before I noticed some difference... in areas that I did not even expect. I love the products.

After a couple of years of being on the products, we started to share them with others. So now, I love the mlm model, because it has not only allowed us to get some incredibly amazing products free (paid for through the referral program) for my whole family, but we have been able to share the gift of free wellness supplements with others for years now.

In fact, I have several friends whom have never referred it the products to anyone...ever, but they have gotten thousands of dollars in checks to their house over the past year which has allowed them to eat the glyconutrients without paying. This happened because of the way that the sharing business model is setup, it allowed me to place my new referrals under customers and friends of mine who were only eating the products. It was fun to have a friend call me up and say, "hey, how did I get a check for $300 this month when I have never referred anybody?"

Even without their "free wellness products for life" program, I would still use and share the products because I love them, what the products have done for my family, and I love the company and the 'heart' that the company has.

That is my 2 cents.

All from my own experience.

I am not familiar with Mannatech or glyco nutrients....if you have a moment could you give some info as maybe others don't know and would want to try this or find that they should be using this, etc.

 

I read some of the link but I always like to hear from the info from the person who really uses the stuff......

 

Thanks...

I have been taking Mannatech products for over 20 years. For me they work.

      Your post doesn't mention if you are seeing Doctors about this and what they had to say, or if you are just trying to manage it by yourself. If you aren't getting medical support, that is the first place to go. On the other hand, if you've been on a diagnostic odyssey with Dr after Dr being perplexed, consider getting your genome sequenced (search for "whole genome sequencing"). It's not guaranteed to get you an answer, but if your symptoms are caused by a genetic condition you might get the answer that is stumping standard differential diagnosis. These days there are quite a few companies offering this service. I wish I could tell you which one was best but I've been out of that field for a decade. Talk to your Dr about this and see what they think. Price is probably ~$500-$1,500 including the sequencing and detailed reports. Sounds like a lot, I know, but consider that 25 years ago just the sequencing (no reports) cost $2.7 B and took 3 years to complete.

      @yellowstone, You poor thing!  I'm not a medical doctor, but it sounds like "Refeeding Syndrome".   I suggest you seek medical attention.   Refeeding Syndrome occurs when your body doesn't have enough of the necessary vitamins, especially Thiamine, to turn sugars (from the fruit, juice, and honey) to turn provide energy.   This can occur in Malabsorption due to Celiac Disease.  Malabsorption prevents the absorption of B vitamins, especially Thiamine. The B vitamins and Thiamine cannot be stored long in the body.  When you run out of Thiamine, your body burns fat for energy which produces the Ketones, hence your weight loss. With medical attention, Thiamine and other B vitamins need to be replaced before giving any more sugars.  Doctors can give you an IV containing B vitamins including Thiamine, called a "banana bag".  Riboflavin  Vitamin B2 causes the yellow color.   Doctors can also monitor your electrolytes which can become unbalanced and cause further serious health issues. I've experienced Refeeding Syndrome.  It's very scary.  Health can deteriorate quickly in Refeeding Syndrome.  It's correctable, but complicated.   I strongly urge you to get professional medical attention as soon as possible.   Our prayers are with you! https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23228-refeeding-syndrome Thiamine Deficiency in Self-Induced Refeeding Syndrome, an Undetected and Potentially Lethal Condition https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4295429/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Due to malabsorption, I have hypoglycemia and I excrete ketones in my urine. I am losing a lot of weight. I don’t know what to do — I drink juice, eat fruit, take honey, but I don’t notice much improvement. Any advice?

      I ate sprouted buckwheat and hard boiled egg last night instead of cereal and got extra 1/2 hour sleep but more importantly feel better this morning. I do sleep in cycles that seems to rotate btwn 3 and 6 hrs but I will monitor next time I make a pot. Bwheat is a complete protein with good amounts of thiamin, magnesium, fiber and iron. High carb but much lower glycemic and much healthier than refined flour cereal.
