[@foreverhomepetrescue]

For the "fake strip" social media stuff... anyone with ANY marketing skill would have provided either a bunch of photos for "reps" to use - or mailed out fake strips and empty boxes pre-launch to the "reps." There are parchment type papers that are partially transparent (like Listerine strips) and could easily be cut and distributed for these pre-launch SM posts. I mean, c'mon. If you gonna cheat... at least cheat well. Oy.

Exactly. The photo with 2 girls showing their strips is awful. They are not only different sizes but different shapes.

[@danistuart6677]

She is not correct on any of it. She's showing partial information and went into this biased, My response to this video: First off, I don't know how this bashing comes from 8 hours of "research". You are clearly biased going into this and you must have a lot of time to waste. And I'm sure you know that there is a difference than a "pyramid scheme" than an MLM, right? You must have tried or know someone who has tried an MLM and were unsuccessful with it, or had a bad experience with a bad MLM. I agree that bad MLMs exist but you can't say they are all bad. But there's absolutely no reason to hate on all MLMs. There are some wonderful, legitimate MLMs out there. Pampered Chef for example, I own many, many Pampered chef products that I have had for over 25 years. They have a lifetime warranty and they have been selling great products for years. Same with Tupperware and many others. As far as Elomir, you are way off track. Elomir didn't launch until July 5th. They purposely waited until they had an exceptional product that they were very happy with that provides great results. The Brand Partners placed their orders on July 5th and we received them within a timely manner. The reason for the first phase or the "soft launch" to only brand partners was to prepare for the customer base by ensuring that everything worked correctly (the website, the ordering, the packaging, the shipping). Nothing that any other business wouldn't do. All businesses do a "soft launch". They were also waiting for the arrival of their largest, most efficient machine that had to be carefully and engineered specifically for the production of the product to arrive at the manufacturing facility. Their estimated time to be open fully to the customer base was the middle to end of August. However, things were running smoothly enough to open up to the customers on August 12th. This strip is not a drug, definitely not acid (LOL)... it's not illegal (NAC is NOT illegal), it doesn't make you high. It has three main natural ingredients: NAC, Curcumin and Thiamine. Now, let me tell you what Axis Klarity has done for me... I have been taking Axis Klarity for 63 days now... the first day I noticed I was in a much better mood. Not only did I notice, so did my husband. Now, he's an attorney who specializes in Criminal Defense and Family Law. That's NOT an easy job and it drains him and makes him a little moody and some days it's hard to stay on task. He noticed on day one that he was able to FOCUS and get stuff done. In fact, his legal assistant had to ask him that afternoon why he hadn't had lunch yet. No back to me... three days into taking the strip, I was no longer clenching my jaw and teeth. I've been doing that uncontrollably for at least 15 years. To the point that I have four cracked molars and my dentist had me try valium - which didn't touch it. Valium scares me so I wasn't excited about that. Next, about three week after beginning the strip, I went to one of my regular massage appointments. At the end of the massage, my therapist always stretches my neck to the right and then to the left. We were both in awe with the ease and range of motion when she turned my head to the left. It kept going! I haven't been able to look over my left shoulder in at least 20 years! (I suffer from autoimmune issues that affect my joints, tendons and ligaments in addition to arthritis in my neck, back, shoulders and hands.) Now, this is is just MY testimonial. There are plenty more to be heard... a good friend of mine who is diabetic (and has the Dexcom G6) has been taking insulin since a child has been using significantly less insulin because his levels have been mostly normal. He has even had days where he hasn't needed ANY insulin at all! As far as your "scam word salad", you are clearly not a scholar of science. All you had to do was google some of the ingredients and words used. They are real words and make perfect sense when you are talking about the combination of the ingredients and the delivery method. Encapsulation is one of the best methods to extend the shelf life of the ingredients. To do that, you need an optimal carrier that's appropriate for the application or delivery method. This allows the product to start working as soon as it's activated by the moisture (saliva) and gives it a little time to sit on the tongue to be absorbed directly into the blood stream, rather than the conventional method of taking a turmeric pill, an NAC pill and a vitamin B1 pill - in which case you MIGHT absorb 10%. It depends on the person. Some people with irritable bowel syndrome, hiatal hernias, diverticulitis, and those who have undergone bariatric surgery (including gastric sleeve or bypass). Let's talk about NAC... you jumped the gun on that one. NAC is NOT illegal and was NOT illegal and WILL NOT become illegal. When a supplement works well, BIG PHARMA wants their hands on it. They want the control of it because it's a money maker for them. NPA (Natural Products Association) filed a lawsuit against the FDA and won (August 1st). It was determined that NAC is excluded from the dietary supplement definition of the FD&C Act because NAC was approved as a new drug before it was marketed as a dietary supplement or as a food. Let's get to the delivery method, a substance will only take effect if it can be absorbed by the body, so bioavailability is the key to creating a supplement that delivers proven benefits. Bioavailability is a measure of how much a substance is able to access the circulation and reach the target area, and it depends on absorption (how much we get it) and secretion (how much we get out). Again, 85-90% of pills aren't absorbed into the blood stream at all. And in many cases, they don't even disintegrate by the time you empty your bowels. Elomir is definitely about the product and about helping people.

That anecdote about how the manufacturing equipment “can’t handle“ the formula gave me deja vu. Someone I know in Isagenix said that one of their products messed up a machine that was producing it… and I was supposed to be impressed by how potent the product is 🙄 I guess that’s classic mlm bs.

If something destroys a machine why would I want it in me 😳

[@willtroy1986]

I have worked on extractors and molecular stills. This comes across as an attempted anthropomorphism of distillation equipment; if a machine(or group of them) cannot process a formula, it’s usually because the operator hasn’t figured out how to calibrate the machine to the specific formula, or the technology to synthesize the components doesn’t exist yet, OR (and what my vote is) the operator is not running the machine to specifications with regards to the specific formula, causing damage and/or loss of efficiency in cycle time and/or throughput. And no shame here actually, dialing in equipment to new formulas can take time, and also, machines can run into unexpected problems down the line with new formulas as well, and can need time-consuming maintenance and even repairs during production runs. The fact that they have delays is not intrinsically alarming to me for this reason. But saying a formula can’t be processed because it’s so awesome is not the same as saying chuck norris can’t get beaten up in a fight because he is so awesome at karate. That’s the tone of the announcement; formulas and distillation equipment don’t have egos.

This enrages me for so many reasons, but mostly bc an ESA awards you no special privileges unless you're a veteran, but people just let it slide or they're not savvy enough to know it's not a SERVICE animal. But it's not an MLM, so probably better suited for a different channel.

They seem to be mlm-hoppers and I'm sure it's a matter of time before their names will have disappeared from Elomir's website...

[@danistuart6677]

It happens. Not necessarily a bad thing. Some companies change and not for the better. There are times where they may no longer align with your needs, changed your favorite products or life happens. Elomir is legit. This video is biased and not exactly truthful. This is my response to it: First off, I don't know how this bashing comes from 8 hours of "research". You are clearly biased going into this and you must have a lot of time to waste. And I'm sure you know that there is a difference than a "pyramid scheme" than an MLM, right? You must have tried or know someone who has tried an MLM and were unsuccessful with it, or had a bad experience with a bad MLM. I agree that bad MLMs exist but you can't say they are all bad. But there's absolutely no reason to hate on all MLMs. There are some wonderful, legitimate MLMs out there. Pampered Chef for example, I own many, many Pampered chef products that I have had for over 25 years. They have a lifetime warranty and they have been selling great products for years. Same with Tupperware and many others. As far as Elomir, you are way off track. Elomir didn't launch until July 5th. They purposely waited until they had an exceptional product that they were very happy with that provides great results. The Brand Partners placed their orders on July 5th and we received them within a timely manner. The reason for the first phase or the "soft launch" to only brand partners was to prepare for the customer base by ensuring that everything worked correctly (the website, the ordering, the packaging, the shipping). Nothing that any other business wouldn't do. All businesses do a "soft launch". They were also waiting for the arrival of their largest, most efficient machine that had to be carefully and engineered specifically for the production of the product to arrive at the manufacturing facility. Their estimated time to be open fully to the customer base was the middle to end of August. However, things were running smoothly enough to open up to the customers on August 12th. This strip is not a drug, definitely not acid (LOL)... it's not illegal (NAC is NOT illegal), it doesn't make you high. It has three main natural ingredients: NAC, Curcumin and Thiamine. Now, let me tell you what Axis Klarity has done for me... I have been taking Axis Klarity for 63 days now... the first day I noticed I was in a much better mood. Not only did I notice, so did my husband. Now, he's an attorney who specializes in Criminal Defense and Family Law. That's NOT an easy job and it drains him and makes him a little moody and some days it's hard to stay on task. He noticed on day one that he was able to FOCUS and get stuff done. In fact, his legal assistant had to ask him that afternoon why he hadn't had lunch yet. No back to me... three days into taking the strip, I was no longer clenching my jaw and teeth. I've been doing that uncontrollably for at least 15 years. To the point that I have four cracked molars and my dentist had me try valium - which didn't touch it. Valium scares me so I wasn't excited about that. Next, about three week after beginning the strip, I went to one of my regular massage appointments. At the end of the massage, my therapist always stretches my neck to the right and then to the left. We were both in awe with the ease and range of motion when she turned my head to the left. It kept going! I haven't been able to look over my left shoulder in at least 20 years! (I suffer from autoimmune issues that affect my joints, tendons and ligaments in addition to arthritis in my neck, back, shoulders and hands.) Now, this is is just MY testimonial. There are plenty more to be heard... a good friend of mine who is diabetic (and has the Dexcom G6) has been taking insulin since a child has been using significantly less insulin because his levels have been mostly normal. He has even had days where he hasn't needed ANY insulin at all! As far as your "scam word salad", you are clearly not a scholar of science. All you had to do was google some of the ingredients and words used. They are real words and make perfect sense when you are talking about the combination of the ingredients and the delivery method. Encapsulation is one of the best methods to extend the shelf life of the ingredients. To do that, you need an optimal carrier that's appropriate for the application or delivery method. This allows the product to start working as soon as it's activated by the moisture (saliva) and gives it a little time to sit on the tongue to be absorbed directly into the blood stream, rather than the conventional method of taking a turmeric pill, an NAC pill and a vitamin B1 pill - in which case you MIGHT absorb 10%. It depends on the person. Some people with irritable bowel syndrome, hiatal hernias, diverticulitis, and those who have undergone bariatric surgery (including gastric sleeve or bypass). Let's talk about NAC... you jumped the gun on that one. NAC is NOT illegal and was NOT illegal and WILL NOT become illegal. When a supplement works well, BIG PHARMA wants their hands on it. They want the control of it because it's a money maker for them. NPA (Natural Products Association) filed a lawsuit against the FDA and won (August 1st). It was determined that NAC is excluded from the dietary supplement definition of the FD&C Act because NAC was approved as a new drug before it was marketed as a dietary supplement or as a food. Let's get to the delivery method, a substance will only take effect if it can be absorbed by the body, so bioavailability is the key to creating a supplement that delivers proven benefits. Bioavailability is a measure of how much a substance is able to access the circulation and reach the target area, and it depends on absorption (how much we get it) and secretion (how much we get out). Again, 85-90% of pills aren't absorbed into the blood stream at all. And in many cases, they don't even disintegrate by the time you empty your bowels. Elomir is definitely about the product and about helping people.

There is actually a lot of research that investigates the neuroprotective properties of NAC and other more broader uses. It is very promising in the treatment of several psychatric disorders. I agree, that one should generally be careful when taking supplements. But NAC basically is the artifical form of the aminoacid L-cysteine. We as humans eat this everyday, because cysteine is essential in the methylation process. That makes it totally safe to use in amounts of several grams per day. Heck, one study even showed that 30g of NAC per day for half a year had no side effects at all. NAC supplements usually contain 500mg. So, very far away from any risk. The dissolvable amount of NAC in a ELOMIR strip is even way smaller than 500mg. Maybe a few mg only. This has absolutely no effect on the human body and could be considered homeopathy.

So this product will apparently cure my damaged hip joint, cure chronic gastritis which makes getting nutrients difficult, and cure my ADHD and severe OCD. And here’s me going to doctors and hospitals for help and treatments! I’m so stupid I should just take this instead!!😳😏🧐🤔🙄😬😟🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😝😊😊

Aaand of course, 8 months later and the Texas Attorney General didn't do anything at all and the MLM is active & now selling their shltty product. Despite getting quite a few complaints at this point, I bet, and they didn't do jack. What a laugh, but also sad and pathetic

[@dwightschrute2323]

Someone in my family just posted on IG about this MLM, having just joined it, so this video is perfect timing. Wow!

I once made the mistake of chugging the dregs of a tumeric latte, I'm imagining that same taste/graininess in strip form 🤢

Hey, I got sick a few days ago and found you while actually searching for a documentary on Mlms a week or so ago, to pass some time, and I really love your content. It's obvious that you are very passionate about the topics and that you do your research and take a serious approach. I like that very much. But actually, I decided to comment cause I have 2 cats of my own and I love to see you interact with your cats it's just so loving and adorable it's really nice to see someone so caring and loving with their pets. Mine are like my babies they are absolutely spoiled and I couldn't be more in love with them than I am. And to see someone so casually interact with their animals is just beautiful.

Did anyone else notice that the “cheese hun” has what looks like a young living/doterra oil rack on the wall behind her and to the left?

[@stephaniewagner6715]

Lmao the woman that photographed the full size Post-it note 😂😂

[@ScarlettKay494]

Serious question - Is anyone still joining MLMs? I feel like everyone I know is either already in one, has left them and would never go back, or would never join one in the first place. At this point, I feel like the only people who join a new MLM hop over from another one. I’m very interested to see what happens with Elomir because of that.

[@gigi2k326]

Idk.... my Facebook time-line is still full of mlm post from new ones as well as the more well known ones. I alway felt like these were scummy & scamy I just didn't realize there was a name for it all.

[@Ryanneey]

It can feel like that sometimes, but just last weekend I mentioned MLMs to a group of friends at a dinner. Nobody knew what I meant and I had to explain it to them.

[@Alyse_bell]

Unfortunately yes, there are still people that have never heard of MLMs and have no clue how dodgy these companies are. Was warning someone in my chronic illness group to avoid MLMs as a source of income and had at least 10 comments asking me what the heck and MLM was. At least I was able to explain how predatory they are so they don’t fall victim to the scams.

[@kkhasthoughts2712]

I just went on a reddit deep dive on this MLM! It's insane! Someone posted a funny picture where every time they see that yellow strip, they're going to photoshop it with SpongeBob, lol. Thank you, Hannah for this really timely video!!

[@danistuart6677]

Reddit is not a reliable source. Just like Wikipedia, anyone can publish links to the site. However, unlike Wikipedia, what is published doesn't have to be accurate, truthful or even real.

[@ms.annthropic6341]

@@danistuart6677 The same can be said about the claims of MLM huns - they don’t have to be accurate, truthful or even real!

[@mariauga3377]

The fact that these distributors are ok with blatant false advertising is very telling....even more for the owners. How can you be ok with telling your distributors to just use anything an pretend it's the strip

So I work in a medical lab that specializes in acid fast bacilli culture. Think Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We use NALC, the N-acetyl cysteine to break down mucus in patient samples. It's a granulated white powder, if anyone was curious.

To the “cheese slice lady”- respectfully, don’t attribute your scammy photos to being an Aries, thanks.

[@msfondue]

OMG I just noticed. The second picture you showed from the girl who used a piece of cheese?? When you showed a close up, it is so CLEARLY the previous "post-it" note picture with the sharp shadow just photoshopped and rotated onto her fingers. That girl is literally holding NOTHING

[@tegansecura4357]

Yes! Thank you! I was wondering if someone would point that out! It’s so clear in the close up that Hannah showed that it’s obviously (and poorly!) photoshopped 🤣🤣🤣

[@arianamauery9281]

That lady who keeps mentioning the 30 day money back guarantee conveniently forgot to mention that any refund within 30 days of purchase results in a six MONTH suspension of your brand partner account. Also, the picture from 26:47 seems to be photoshopped from the previous picture. She’s not even holding it.

[@marlenekristin6730]

This reminds me of the 1961 Rock Hudson/Doris Day movie, “Lover Come Back.” The premise is hyping a product that will solve all your problems and change your life - the only problem is, it doesn’t actually exist. It’s hilarious. But that was a movie; this is real life and real people at the bottom of the pyramid are getting screwed. This video was excellent. Thank you for bringing some klärity to this scam!!

[@SindyJ37]

Awww i couldn't even be bothered to listen to the scammy lady babbling about that weird product once kitty came to say hi...he's so sweet and clearly loves his mama ❤❤

I looked up the hashtag and now I’m just laughing because anti-MLMers have taken it over and are being very creative 😅😅

[@Kayehardy]

This has been trending in r/antiMLM recently and it is so funny how they tried so hard to photoshop the strip (and some didn’t even try at all)

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

your videos are such a good way to fill the silence as i WFH lol. they've helped me learn to be more compassionate toward those who have been taken advantage of, and have shown me that some of these tactics might've worked on me at one point. i feel a bit less judgmental toward those who get sucked into MLMs as a result of your calm, caring demeanor.

Awesome seeing an MLM in the making, definitely helps prove the scam behind the business. $1M in product sales with no customers and a brand partner already ranking with no team...oooook. Um, didn't they say a 30pk is $89? So the "retail" price is inflated. WOW

ALSO you can't try something exactly once and claim its benefits(in this case). And you're quantifying those results how exactly?
