About a year ago I was drawn to the Amway fretenity by a well meaning friend of mine to use supplements which acording to him would lead me to a very heaalthy life and what is more that I could earn tidy bit of money. It would require some leg work contacting some friends to whom I could spread the message. I was given lot of literature including some cassettes which I went through very diligently. It was all very persuasive giving refeence by people who extolled the virtue of these supplements. I was asked to keep my mind open and that sort of worked on my psychology. I did use it for a year spending precious money againt my wifes skepticism. She always insisted that the food we eat is a balanced one and that I am unnecessarily squandering money. I even persuaded her to take it. After I used for a year I felt I have willingly walked into a cleverly worked out PR game and there was no merit in such tall claims or at least it was grossly disproportionate to the claim. Recently, I came across an excellent booktitle 'Vitamin pushers' written by well known doctors who have scientificallyanalysed many such fondly held opinion including highflying gurus etc. Out of curiosity I happened to see the index and it contained reference to Amways whaich contained four paage information and finally my lingering doubts were confirmed. Similarly I know quite few in Mysore have come under this spell. Basically it works like the old ploy like writing to four people and who in turn write four people and we quietly get those money orders regualrly provided the chain is not continued. I have written for myself a detailed experienc about it which Imay share if required. The object is to generate discussion on this topic by people who might have led on the garden path leading to nowhere finally. With due respect to my several friends who are in this game still. it is possible many of them have sincerely believed in this supplement stuff and possibly continuing because they are making money. I can only say it has a palcebo effect , a sort of self fulfilling desire in the efficacy of the stuff.
