Calli, there's an article here:

Sounds like it's a big Pyramid scheme. Also, the shareholders are suing the company: [link]

Thank you, Sue. That's exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for. Now I'm thinking that my cousin might be selling the stuff.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Not to mention your blood relatives'. Yeesh. Don't they have an ethics board in medicine?

I've called my dad. When I told him it was a scam and why I thought so, he said he had thought it might be. But my cousin is my mom's nephew, the only doctor in the family, and she dotes on him. In between Dad, me, and Mom's doctor (who, I expect, will not be on board with her diabetic patient taking sugar pills) I'm thinking we can talk Mom down from this.

Oh, if I find out he's continuing to push this I will do my best to get him censured in some way. I don't care if that side of the family disowns me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Anne!
Jeez, Calli, that's so sketchy.
I finally had to open my bedroom window last night because I was hot even without the covers on. That's BANANAS. It's not like the super isn't here. Other apartments must not be so hot.

Oooooh, it gets better and better. The distributors of the pricey sugar pills are being sued for fraud and invasion of privacy. [link]
