BloggingStock Calls People Stupid...

Apparently, the author of this blog thinks anyone buying stock in the world leader of Glyconutritional products is stupid. He mentions how the CEO removed himself of his position to focus his efforts on field leaders. At the end of this blog there is a place to leave a comment. I usually leave a comment, but I don't ever get it published for some reason. Hmmm, I wonder why that is? Anyway, this time I saved my post, as I assumed it would not be published- which it wasn't- surprise! My comment is listed following the pasted blog below this. I want to share some of what doesn't ever get to make its way onto the internet. For those of you new to Glyconutritionals. This is but a mere tip of the iceberg.

Mannatech (MTEX): Still making money because people are still stupid

When the XFL failed after just one season, I breathed a sigh of relief: Apparently it really was possible to lose money by assuming that the American public is stupid.

Well Texas-based multi-level marketer Mannatech (NASDAQ: MTEX) has proven that the assumption of stupidity is alive and well as a means of making money -- or at least keeping your stock price from collapsing even more than it already has.

On Tuesday afternoon, founder Sam Caster resigned as CEO to "allow him to step back from operating responsibilities to focus his efforts on working with field sales leaders to transition to Mannatech's new global wellness sales program."

The press release didn't even mention the Texas Attorney General's investigation that has pummeled the stock of late -- a pretty brazen case of corporate spin. Even if Caster really is resigning to work with field sales leaders, isn't that indicative that the company is facing pretty serious problems? And remember, Mannatech's army of associates is its bread and butter. If that's in disarray (it is), the whole company is a train-wreck (it is).

So how did the stock respond? It was up more than 3% on Wednesday, and continued to rise on Thursday.

My personal response to this, which was not posted.

I don’t know if calling your readers stupid is such a good idea. Maybe its stupid to not buy the stock when it is at this low.

I understand the CEO of the company has resigned to focus his efforts in assisting field sales leaders. Remember, he is the founder of the company. So he is going to do whatever it takes to make things run as smooth as possible. It’s like that saying- if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. How much of a difference do you think his undivided attention to this will help the company? I’m sure it will help in an amazing way, as experts have taken this into consideration. So of course the stock was up and continued to rise. We’ll see what happens from here. Is stupidity alive and well as you state?

And by the way. The “army of Associates” is not in disarray. All of this has actually strengthened it like you would not believe. Contrary to what you may believe, the whole company IS NOT a train wreck.

It’s so interesting to see the outside perspective compared to what is really going on. It basically brings into light the sheer ignorance of those (followers) that believe everything on the internet and the distinct few who actually investigate behind the scenes. Of course there are a select few that know what is really going on. It is just a matter of time before one brave journalist comes into light with the truth to expose the big tyrants out to shut down MTEX.

One Soda a Day May Boost Risk for Heart Disease

Drinking just one soft drink a day — whether diet or regular — may boost your risk of getting heart disease, a new study shows.

That is because a soda habit increases the risk of developing a condition called metabolic syndrome, according to the new research, and that in turn boosts the chance of getting both heart disease and diabetes.

Is This About Health Hazard or Threat of Market Loss?

The big news on Glyconutritionals is that Texas Attorney Greg Abbott has filed a lawsuit to stop a company that he says markets nutritional supplements as being able to cure certain diseases, including cancer. The lawsuit accuses related parties of operating "an elaborate scheme designed to promote the sales of Mannatech's dietary supplements."

Documents filed in Travis County District Court allege Mannatech's "deceptive practices" pose a health risk to seriously ill consumers who may forgo medical attention because of the company's claims.

Is this political? Does it have anything to do with an emerging market (Wellness) that will systematically narrow the sickness business for the pharma giants? The case above demonstrates the position the pharmaceuticals have established for themselves in anything to do with health. Preventive nutrition and natural remedies to help the body ward off illness have been around since the beginning of time, as use of these regimens are becoming more and more common. Yet, it is the pharmaceutical drugs that have become one of the leading causes of death and injury, NOT nutritional supplements. Do you think its time for a change? It has already started.

Welcome to the beginning of The Wellness Revolution! Vive Le Revolucion!

NewScientist Article: "Sugar supplement may treat immune disease"

NewScientist Magazine had a recent article on how a "sugar supplement may sweeten the overactive immune cells responsible for autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and type 1 diabetes and stop them attacking the body's tissues."

Hmmm... this is a very novel approach. You think? Actually providing a direct source of necessary sugars available to cells in quicker and greater quantities. I mean really, this is an entirely different approach of supporting and sustaining health and wellness instead of fighting disease. But wait isn't there a company that has already thought of and developed this- say- over ten years ago?

"A large number of proteins in the body are modified by the attachment of sugar molecules to their surface through a process called glycosylation, and altered glycosylation has been implicated in some autoimmune diseases."

BTW, the article mentions info on a specific sugar found in the Glyconutritional blend product.

Angie Rhoads- Deceived By ABC's 20/20

Many of you watched the distorted feature story on 20/20 about Glyconutrients on Friday June 1st. You may already know that the CEO of the Global Leading Company in Glyconutritionals was interviewed and deceived with what aired. There was also another person used in their tabloid media tactics.

Angie Rhoads, with stage III cancer in her brain, was interviewed. Angie had refused traditional therapies of radiation, chemo and drugs. Instead she chose to take Glyconutritional supplements. On the air 20/20 stated there was no change with the cancer brain scan since starting the Glyconutritional products. The reality is that Angie was cancer free at the time of filming. "No change" actually meant there was no cancer since the last scan. Why did 20/20 decide to leave out this information from the story?

Tabloid T.V. at its best is all I can say. A real tragedy for what I used to consider a reputable broadcast show. Now, I personally view the program is as reputable as one of those tabloid magazines you see at a grocery store checkout. Really..... How could you not? Think about this; How many other stories have they done that were manipulated to tell the story they wanted the public to percieve? Makes you wonder doesn't it?

You know what's kind of funny? I actually feel embarrassed for them (20/20). It's like they gave the story to some desperate media student looking for exposure. You have to wonder how many other programs like 20/20 do the exact same thing. Why? For ratings? A great story? What a shame...

Check out Angie Rhoad's blog as she tells her side.
