    • Is USANA Health Sciences a Fraud? [view article]
      To Alex: You really ought to do your homework before you write articles such as these. First of all, Usana is a network marketing company, not MLM. (Yes, there is a difference.) But in any case, NM and MLM are legitimate business models, not "schemes". It's true that there are some MLM/NM companies that are run illegally and unethically -- but then, that is true of all types of businesses.

      What I have the most problem with is that the bulk of your analysis of Usana relies on the say-so of Barry "The Rat" Minkow, a known felon and scam artist who was hoping to make a killing by discrediting MLM/NM companies and then sell those stocks short.

      To 3rdstreethouse: I have been in Amway, and I am currently in Usana. There is NO comparison as far as I am concerned! In Amway, I found non-disclosure and deception to be the norm, probably due to the fact that it was nearly impossible for the average person to make any money under their compansation plan. Usana, on the other hand, has a top-notch compensation plan, and I've never been given false claims or gross exaggerations by the management or any other distributors.
