Does anyone know of people selling Nature's Sunshine products? Everything we bought was about $15-20 a bottle.
EDITED: Okay... after reading it four times I see it's a 40% markup.
How much would these supplements cost her if she's a part of this business opportunity?
I know people won't understand why I'm not kicking and screaming about going back...
I don't quite understand it myself.
I think it's mostly because I'm afraid to go to a LLMD and get on abx AGAIN.
Not because of myself, but for my son's sake.
I had been well for over a year after being on Flagyl.
Now LD has come back full force.
My son on the other hand never really improved.
Every kind of treatment made him worse in the end.
I'm afraid to do any more abx. because it can always be worse.
He could go completely non-verbal. I'll take the daily episodes
of a two year old in a teenager's body over non-verbal any day.
I know herbs aren't harmless either... I suppose they could do this to him, too.
I guess it's just more comfortable because it's not what we've already done to him.
So there's my story and my excuse...
EDITED TO ADD: I am still doing the RIFE machine and taking some other supplements for LD... it's not just her stuff.

i was referrred to someone also, a vitamin store. she tried to sell me over 500 dollars worth of vitamins and wanted my credit card to do it monthly.
i said no way and walked out. i have not heard of her "curing" or even having high success rates.
vitamins adn supplements are good but they won't cure and in some cases do more damage than good.
only a good llmd can help. some have done buhner and cowden.
personally i would not go back.

I dont know anything about that specific company, but just FYI, 40% percent mark up on supplements is normal for most supplement companies. But why would she say she's not making anything on them?

Why is an honest profit so demonized these days?? Your grocery store makes profit. If they didn't, you'd have to grow all of your own food.
Don't like oil companies? How would you like sitting in the dark all day/night? Most of our household products are made from petroleum.
But I digress.
and yes, a 40% mark up is average
Our local health food store is a Nature's Sunshine franchise or whatever it's termed as. The naturopath who owns the store has been very helpful and is quite knowledgeable.
No one says I have to buy anything there. I buy some items there and even more online.
If your lyme has come back full force, I would get after it .. and not with natural stuff. Just my opinion and what I would do for myself.
Good luck with your decisions!

I totally agree! The odd thing here is that either was a miscommunication or the woman out and out lied.
If it were me, I'd call the practitioner and ask for clarification rather than assume she lied. She might have, but it never hurts to double check. I doubt she is making the commission and the mark up, probably one or the other.

My friend sells supplements from natures sunshine. She is a cnhp. She makes a 40% cut on her products but for me she gives it to me at cost. I have found the products I do get from her to be of good quality.
