Is Isagenix a Scam?

Is Isagenix a Scam?: when people first hear about Isagenix, probably someone with an interest in selling isagenix, it is described in a positive way.
However the details may begin to sound suspicious...the claims are outlandish, the cost is expensive, and um....well....to put it simply, it looks like pyramid scheme. Of course, that is because isagenix is a pyramid scheme. See our post "Is Isagenix a Pyramid Scheme?" for more on that.

Not again... another "Christian based" MLM gig ....

Heads up: another "Christian based" MLM gig .... is yet another thread about something I find incredibly ironic and sad.  Even thought MLM seems to contradict the teachings of Jesus as I understand them from the bible (e.g. though shalt not worthip false idols, though shalt not steal,....)....MLM programs seem to appeal so many evangelical christians...apparently the wrongness of bringing evangelical zeal to the sale of overpriced and sometimes dangerous junk to loved ones is overlooked....

I have to ask you again:  would Jesus have approved of Isagenix, Herbalife, or Multi-Level Marketing in general.  A sane and thoughtful person would probably say no....

From High Energy Clubs to Dashed Dreams: Herbalife Tales

From High Energy Clubs to Dashed Dreams: Herbalife Tales: From High Energy Clubs to Dashed Dreams: Herbalife Tales

A pretty damning investigative report from CNBC about the destructive impact of MLM on the lives of hard working people.  Must watch if you don't know enough about why MLM businesses are a scourge.

Why did Consumer Affairs call Isagenix the "Worst Diet" based on their research?

I'm trying to piece together the marketing and sales messages from Isagenix with this from the a consumer-protection organization, Consumer Affairs.

Consumer Affairs Magazine slammed Isagenix for making what they consider the "Most Outrageous Claim" in marketing the IsaCleanse product and concept   


....and continued by saying:


"Isacleanse The detox idea is seemingly the perfect scam -- it sets up a problem that doesn't exist, then provides a solution.

Ads for Isacleanse warn of toxins building up, clogging organs and deteriorating the body -- unless regularly detoxified. (This doesn't happen, as the human body is naturally self-cleaning.)

A 'healthier, leaner body' is promised in 30 days through ingesting a medicine chest full of Isagenix cures including IsaFlush for 'regularity,' diuretics, aloe pills, vitamins, ionic trace minerals, electrolyte drinks, Isalean Shakes and herbal teas.

For those who are frankly more interested in wealth-building, Isagenix turns a neat trick; on the same web page it alternately pushes a get-rich-quick scheme for deceiving others about the need to detoxify.""
