Dude came to my door and tried to get me to start my own "business" with Tahitian Noni. I asked him straight up if it was a pyramid scheme and he said, "no, pyramid schemes are illegal."

If it's not a pyramid scheme, then why do I have to pay $200 for dvd's and four bottles of Noni Juice to get me started?

I had to google what it was.



Sounds like your run of the mill bs diet scheme.

its not quite a pyramid scheme but its close, at least they have a real product to sell
my dad was involved and believed that noni worked
but of course in the end it was a waste of time

ive been involved in pyramid schemes where you start your business by sending $5 to your recruiter then he tells you how to run the business
you basically send emails to people to send you $5
now thats a pyramid scheme
fortunately for me i was the brains of the business, my friend was the investor
so he was out $5, lol, because we didnt get any buyers
worse off we had tried to email as many students in Harvard law school as we can
at the time we didnt know pyramid schemes were illegal or even that we were involved in one
so all we got out of it were threats of lawsuits and harsh emails from pricks in lawschool
good times

"Although the most significant nutrient feature of noni pulp powder or juice is its high vitamin C content, this level in the noni juice blend provides only about half the vitamin C of a raw navel orange."

lol, I'll stick to oranges.

it has supposedly high levels of powerful anti-oxidants, and has potential in cancer treatment.

only terrorists care about anti-oxidants

^^ It also says

"These macronutrients evidently reside in the fruit pulp, as noni juice has sparse amounts of macronutrients."

So you should skip the juice and eat the pulp

1/7/2009 11:21:10 PM

That's probably why it's considered famine food.
