The old Herbalite was sued and found fraudulent in practices and products about 20 years ago. They settled the lawsuits, took the caffeine out of their "vitamin energy boost" product and they now are online as www.IncomeAtHome.com.
The online program supposedly endorsed by Micheal Medved (shame on him if it's true) is still fraudulent in their practices in my opinion.
In order to find out who the company is you have to pay $10 non-refundable (and it turns into $39 more if you keep the cheap motivational DVD you just heard for free online. And after listening to an hour's worth of over-hyped motivational videos online and then on the phone with your assigned "mentor", you have to pay another $39 to receive sample products and company information - before they answer any questions you may have!
I asked Yavone Carson Burger, who, (if I paid the second $39 for the information packet) was going to refer me to the company guru, John Beale, for some straight information. My questions were: "what is the total cost to start?" and "how successful have you been, how many customers a month do you land?" and "how many years have you been in the company?"
I couldn't even get my quesions asked before she got very disturbed and defensive, cutting me off several times and not letting me finish my questions. She refused to tell me anything more because she "has other contacts who were more willing" than myself, and that she was also interviewing me to see if I was right for the company.
It sounded more like a religious cult than a company with worthwhile products.
Herbalife has, in the past, been regarded as low-value vitamins at inflated prices. It's more of a pyramid scheme where hype is the key, and adulterated facts are mixed in with their pitch to hook the unwary seeker in hopes of a real product to sell.
Like the Mafia, money can probably be made, but you may have to violate some of your morals to do it.
I suggest to find a legitimate company that offers true products, rather than a company full of liars of their real income who make suggestable stretches of the truth and then become defensive, and abandon you as soon as you ask a few legitimate questions. It will be good money kept in your pocket instead of thrown away to a hardened seller.
I would rather have given my money wasted on Herbalife to a homeless person than a slick salesman.
