It's been a real busy week in the MLM business. ASD, YTB, Xocia, and now ITV. Last week The Whole Food Farmacy cut all it's distributors. Who will be next?

Although the infomercial suggests that the book makes specific recommendations for specific problems, it actually does not. In the book, Trudeau claims that the FTC censored the entire chapter titled "Cures for All Diseases."

Trudeau has been the target of several FTC regulatory actions and has served time in prison for credit card fraud.

There's a moral here, If you do your due diligence, and find a 5 pillar company, more than likely, your company is NOT going to end up on the BAD side of the news because the owner is IN TROUBLE AGAIN !!!!!
