More ”news” from Lowell Mims at the Bioperformance web site:Â
When Mark Twain read his own obituary misreported in in a daily newspaper, he quipped: “News of my death has been greatly exaggerated.�
So it is with BioPerformance: the rumors reported to us by our loyal IBOs are the stuff fiction is made of, not fact.
One of the most comical denigrates our marketing channel, insinuating that if such an innovation as we have were found, it would be by a major chemical company. But BioPerformance isn’t the first instance of a direct selling company that has had major impact on a single market. A few examples:
- Shaklee helped popularize the importance of “biodegradable� detergents and a revolutionary product for the time: Multi-vitamins.
- At one time NSA sold nearly 1/3 of all water filters purchased in North America.
- PrePaid legal revolutionized access of common folks like us to legal services.
- AL Williams (now Primerica) taught America the benefit of term life insurance, and in the process grew to be largest insurance company in America.
Speaking of AL Williams, Art Williams once said of his early days going up against the insurance lobby: “Every morning, the first thing I asked for was copies of the negative newspaper stories. Virtually everyday someone was calling us a pyramid or saying our product was a fraud.â€?ÂSound familiar? That’s right: BioPerformance is facing the same opposition AL Williams faced, and for many of the same reasons.
What Lowell is not telling you here is that Shaklee, NSA, Pre-paid legal and Primerica were NEVER shut down by an Attorney Gereral. Misinformed people call every MLM, a pyramid scheme, but that doesn’t mean that the Government calls them a pyramid scheme.
Does the product work or not? Show us the independent tests showing it works and I will post the results here for the world to see.

This definitely bears repeating…

I became a distributor under the sponsorship of a couple who are part of the far Christian right. The couple made
$200 when I joined up. When this scam was revealed I wrote them, strongly suggesting that they return at least the
$200 but I never received an answer. The product is really napthalene which is
the prime ingredient in mothballs. It is
very caustic. Our auto mechanic said that if I had kept on using it, then it would have damaged the car engine. Both
my husband and I wrote this very religious couple who live in Jackson,
Mississippi. I wonder why the Attorney
General of Mississippi is not investigating this case. I investigated
$529 initially and another $90 in promotional materials. I also wasted one weekend in hearing all these testimonials. The distributors and managers and upper level people seemed to
be moved by nothing other than greed and
their desire to make millions in order to
buy very luxurious goods (mega houses and
very expensive cars).

In response to:
“Does the product work or not? Show us the independent tests showing it works and I will post the results here for the world to see.”
I believe my company’s products do work. Please let me know what will constitute a satisfactory independent test?
I’m willing to but the stuff up in a ‘Pesi Challenge’. These are housewares mostly.
