Liquid Zeolite Scam?

I've been keeping up as much as possible on the whole Liquid Zeolite debate in attempt to separate the fact from the fiction.

I really have tried to keep up on both sides... There is a plethora of good news about Zeolites and their effect on Cancer, Autism, Detox, general health and even pet health. There have also been reports of scams and various people debating whether it is real or not.

I've recently found a few sites that talk about the distribution method of Liquid Zeolite. There are many retailers of Zeolites and I've found that the most popular producer of Zeolite is a MLM company called Waiora.

Let me first explain a bit about MLM. There are many names for MLM.... Multi-Level Marketing, Network Marketing, Direct Sales, Home business, pyramid selling... and I'm sure there are more.

Network Marketing is a way to distribute a company`s products directly to an end line consumer by cutting out the middlemen. Instead of hiring a sales force, regular customers are able to refer other customers to the company and earn a commission check to do so. There is usually a membership or distributor fee involved, but it is usually quite small (around $30) and you should receive a marketing kit, distributor website and backoffice (sales tracking and training). Oftentimes, there is also a discount on the product from the retail price.

Having said this.... The fact that the company chose the MLM distribution method is not enough reason to avoid the product. Typically the products in MLM are VERY VERY high quality and provide instant and distinct results very quickly. Otherwise, they would not be able to continue selling the products.... As we know, bad news travels much faster than good news. If the product didn't work, you would see far more negativity than positivity.

As for the "business" or "pyramid" aspect of it. The company will always encourage you to promote the products, however, this is a personal choice and NEVER let someone pressure you into promoting the business. If the product works for you.... Just opt out of the "business". Simple as that. I suggest that when you find a distributor for Zeolite that you ask to be excluded from the "Business" side. You can still get the membership, but you can opt out of all the "harrassment".

I hope this helps!

Zeolite a cure for Autism or a scam?

I was introduced to Zeolite originally because if my interest in detox and because of it's effect on people with cancer. However, upon further investigation, I discovered that there is a lot of evidence that seems to point to Zeolite being very useful in children with Autism.

I understand that Autism seems to have some links with mercury (I found this article at PubMed that supports this assumption). I also understand that there is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study evaluating the effects of a specific Liquid Zeolite product. There are more details about the dosages/etc in a free ebook written by Shelley Penney... Here's the link if you are interested... Liquid Zeolite Ebook.

I'm very excited to see more of the results... I hear that there are many more studies to follow. Very exciting stuff since I know that Autism is becoming more prevelent these days.

Zeolite, Shelley Penney, Robert Sopias and Cancer

There is so much information on the Internet about Zeolite and even though I've been researching for quite a while now I still get confused. Here's a breakdown of the major players that I keep coming across.

Shelley Penney is a retired Registered Nurse that has written a free Liquid Zeolite eBook on the subject. I suggest downloading it. There is a lot of very useful information. She seems pretty down to earth about the information that is presented. She also seems to have done a lot of research and makes recommendations on what product you should use depending on the purpose.

Robert Sopias is all over the internet. He runs a site called cancer-fighting-strategies.com and has written a report entitled "11 Natural Therapies to Conquer Cancer". He admits that he has no health background, but he calls himself a "health consultant". Although I do find that somewhat conflicting, I suppose it's possible that he knows what he's talking about. One thing to keep in mind is when it's all said and done his "health regiment" will cost thousands of dollars. It might not be apparent right from the start, but be careful.

I think that the key is to do your homework. There is no doubt that there are alternative health products that could help cure various ailments such as cancer, autism, etc. However, keep in mind that it's not the product that cures it... It is your body that heals itself when given the proper tools (ie: nutrition). Zeolite is a detox product. Zeolite will pull toxins out of your body. It is up to you to add some good nutritional habits and exercise to be sure that these products have the best chance at success.

To your health!
