Are You “Suffering” From Dehydration? Do This:

Drink some water.

The latest CorViver Eager Beaver product supposedly helps with the huge swaths of the American population who are unwittingly “suffering” from dehydration. They have a new (expensive!) product with a super cool edgy name…HYDR8! Get it?? They must be paying someone a lot of money for these super cool and hip names.

Anyways, they have plenty of expensive HYDR8 to sell you! Call now! Act fast! Probably cures ADHD, acne and enlarges your penis as well, knowing these hucksters’ usual crazy claims.

Or, you could just pour yourself a glass of free water…but then the huckster makes no money off of you [insert frowny emoticon here]

Here’s a fun fact: the root of the word “dehydrate” is “hydrate” – which literally means “to take up or combine with WATER”. Imagine that! So the easiest, simplest and most effective way to fight all that evil dehydration going around it to hydrate yourself….or literally drink some water, dummy!!

Are people dumb enough to shell out money for HYDR8 rather than sip some water? We shall see…..

Hilarious: Eager Beaver CorVive-er Gets Product Completely Wrong. Twice.

You gotta love it when people with ZERO expertise in a field and who literally joined the MLM cult yesterday start crowing about all the supposed health benefits of the magic beans they have to sell you…as if they are overnight experts in the field. I’ve seen some dumb stuff on Facebook, but this woman takes the proverbial gluten-free cake. To wit:

“I learned about hbh today, then I felt the affect it has on my body! Ya’ll, I can feel the oxygen in my legs! [unlikely – your body closely regulates your blood oxygen levels] No pain, no drawing [drawing???], no swelling! Do you have any of these issues? I know something that will help! Message me!”

The the next day…crowing about “hbh” once again!

“Any of my San Saba peeps interested in life-changing [she joined less than a week ago], cutting edge, nutritional products that’s won’t break the bank? [yes, they will] Look up hbh and see the benefits! Hit me up with questions!”

Ummmm…sweetie? It’s BHB (Beta-hydroxybutyrate) NOT hbh.

Wow.

THESE are the ding-dongs you think have all the answers? THESE are people you are just going to blindly believe making any ridiculous claim they invent on the fly? THESE are the people you trust with your health???

Also, CorVive very much frowns on making ludicrous health claims unless they are taken VERBATIM from their company literature.

Specifically, CorVive Policies and Procedures 8.1 Health Claims states:

No claims (which include personal testimonials) as to therapeutic, curative or beneficial properties (“Health Claims”) of any products offered by Company may be made except those specific claims contained in official Company literature. Such statements can be perceived as medical, drug claims, or natural health product claims. Not only would such claims breach Company Policies and Procedures, but they potentially violate federal and provincial laws and regulations, including the federal Food and Drugs Act.

Also, CorVive Policies and Procedures 8.2 Product Claims states:

Partners may not make any other product claims or representations regarding Company products except those that are specifically contained in official Company literature. Such claims or representations may only be repeated or republished in exactly the same format as that published by the Company and the claim must be republished in its totality.

In particular, no Partner may make any claim or representation (“Product Claims”) regarding the following: (1) the performance, efficacy or life of Company products or services; (2) the testing of Company products or services; (3) testimonials or endorsements of Company products or services; and (4) any matter that would be false or misleading in a material respect. Not only would such Product Claims breach Company Policies and Procedures, but they potentially violate federal and provincial laws and regulations, including the federal Competition Act.

Even Fouts’ trained-seal and dummy carnival barker James West (Cor200!!) knows that! He reads the “health effects” right off the bottles in his Video of Lies – never leaving the script!

For you to come out and make claims about reducing leg swelling and increasing blood oxygen saturation, well…let’s just say the company makes VERY clear that you are on your own and their insurance doesn’t cover you against civil lawsuits…and CorVive themselves may go after your ass. See Section 4.3:

Partners who violate Company intellectual property rights, produce unapproved sales and marketing aids (including Internet advertising), make improper Health Claims or Product Claims regarding CorVive products or Earnings Representations (as defined in section 9 below), or otherwise breach the Agreement may have their Agreement with CorVive terminated (described more fully in Section 4.6 below), as well as expose themselves to civil charges from the Company or third parties or to civil or criminal charges from government authorities.

You’d think all these “Independent Business Owners” [lol!!] babbling away on Facebook who are going to build an empire and get rich quick would at least read and understand the CorVive Policies and Procedures thoroughly. Owning a “business” and reading stuff is, like, HARD ya’ll!! So much easier to just fling handfuls of bullshit against the wall and see who buys it. Unfortunately, legitimate and ethical operations do not work that way.

Congratulations!

CorVive Hucksters Throw Out More Crazy Claims

I recently saw a CorVive huckster make the following claim:

“For those of you who haven’t been feeling so good…if you mix the NRG [overpriced CorVive product] with warm water, a teaspoon of honey, and freshly squeezed lemon it helps. The honey is a great antimicrobial and the energy in the NRG helps loosen everything up!!”

Sounds like somebody has a garage full of overpriced magic beans to try and unload! Wow. Let’s examine this ludicrous statement.

“The energy in the NRG help loosen everything up!!” Not sure how that is physically possible, since there literally is NO energy in the NRG potion. Says right there on the label. Do you see any calories on the list? I sure don’t. Calories are energy. B6 is not energy. B12 is not energy. Caffeine is also not energy – it is a stimulant. Taurine is an amino acid – it is also found in Red Bull and other energy drinks…as are the huge doses of B vitamins and niacin. So – kinda all the same stuff found here in NRG.

Maybe this ~~huckster~~ brilliant nutritional expert meant the STIMULANT caffeine will help loosen everything up? How does it do that, exactly? And if it DOES (unproven at this time), then couldn’t you just do the same thing with a cup of warm tea or coffee, which literally cost pennies a serving and is probably sitting in your pantry as we speak? Pretty sure people have been doing that for hundreds of years.

Ah…but then the ~~huckster~~ caring CorVive expert couldn’t unload the pile of magic potion sitting in her garage at a 270% markup! Now I get it. Truly, they are a benevolent and caring cult. Just ask them! CorVive = love, serve, and care!! (yes, they have been using that line!).

MLM Cult Aspects

It is very funny to watch the MLM members circle the wagons to defend against any dissent, logic, reason or facts. This is EXACTLY what cult members do when someone tries to talk sense to them.

One of the reasons why MLM reps defend their company so passionately is that they use cult-like tactics to recruit and retain people, something MLM campaigner David Brear has long argued. Here are just some ways MLMs are like cults:

Just like a cult, MLMs offer the promise of a utopian-like existence (in this case making easy money working from home doing what you love, and making new friends).
Just like a cult many MLMs are led by a god-like figurehead, or have equally worshipped key figures high up.
Just like a cult they have unscientific, mysterious secrets to success (for example, mindset and the law of attraction). If you fail to be successful you’ll be told you had a negative mindset or just didn’t work hard enough – it’s always your fault, not the flawed model.
Just like a cult they encourage alienation from any dissenting voices, even from family and friends. So if a friend tries to make you see sense, you’ll be told they’re negative or jealous of your success. [ya’ll just jealous haters!!]
Just like a cult they use unnecessarily complex structures to hide the truth of their business model. Hence PQVs and seemingly endless status levels, like ‘Purple’, ‘Diamond’ and ‘Crown Princess’. [or COR12, COR80 and COR200, lol]
Just like cults they use shame and fear to recruit. If you don’t join you’re a ‘wage slave’ trapped in a job you hate on the conventional work-retire-die treadmill.
Just like a cult they use fear to control. When one high status rep left, all her ‘friends’ in the MLM were warned not to talk to her. She was also discredited and slandered through the spreading of untrue rumors.
Just like a cult they have an authoritarian grip over their reps. If you question anything you’re shamed for not ‘believing’ or ‘trusting’.
Just like a cult they use the moral high ground as a cover or diversion – often by associating themselves with a charity or starting their own. [or maybe praying for all the evil, jealous haters!]
Just like a cult, MLM recruits often appear to go through a sudden change in personality. One example is the relentless positive social media posts they make. They are not allowed to be ‘negative’ (or even just real).

And finally, just like a cult, MLMs can only exist with unquestioning devotion. If you examine them using cold, hard facts [like their income disclosure statements – have any of you requested income disclosure statements from CorVive? I did. They refused to send me one] they just don’t make sense as a viable business proposition.

This is why they so often use emotion and deflection to shut down any argument. Just try to have an open, honest conversation with someone in an MLM, or the MLM themselves and you’ll discover how hard it is to get facts out of them!

Indeed, we have no doubt that if you show this to a friend in an MLM they’ll dismiss it as lies, rubbish or negativity. But ask them to factually rebut each point and they won’t be able to. They’ll tell you how amazing their own experience is, or that their MLM is different. But it’s not.

CorVive Clown Con-Man Carnival Barker Spewing B.S. Left and Right

It sure appears as if the carnival barkers at the top of the CorVive MLM pecking order are very comfortable spouting outright lies and also violating their own “Policies and Procedures” as listed here.

I’ll give CorVive one thing: their “Policies and Procedures” was clearly written by an army of lawyers who want to protect the guys at the top from the Federal Trade Commission as well as any civil lawsuits from unhappy suckers.

He also appears to later violate Section 9 “Earnings Representations” – but we’ll get to that.

The offender is none other than a CorVive clown named James West, who carries the title Cor200. Much like the Scientology cult, CorVive members are moved up the ladder with these ridiculous numbers, which seem to denote how many other cult members he/she has recruited – people in town have publicly crowed about being “Cor4” and “Cor12” – so this James “Jimmy” West is obviously high up and got in on the CorVive scam early since he carries the august title of Cor200.

Jimmy West also intimates that he is close personal friends with the slime ball founder of CorVive Jeremy Fouts. In the video, West claims Fouts didn’t feel well and asked James West to do the Facebook presentation on January 15th at 6:31pm.

I will make my best attempt to link to the video or embed here – I DO have a preserved recording of the video on my personal phone in case somebody with an IQ over 85 realizes how bad this is and takes it down to avoid legal troubles.

The very first thing I have noticed about the carnival barker James West Cor200 is that all his videos are shot from a bizarre angle that only shows his head. I think this is because he is probably morbidly obese, and who the hell would buy nutritional supplements from a huge fat guy? Well, a lot of people, as it turns out. This town is full of them. But let’s get to his ridiculous health claims for these miracle products, shall we?

At the 3:14 mark of the video, James claims “68% of all women in the U.S. are overweight, and the number one reason: they’re not passing waste through their system…and that’s what the CorRenew [product] is gonna do it’s going help promote proper digestion…it helps remove toxins, chemicals, impurities, uh, uh, through proper, uh, elimination…uh..it helps support the immune function, guys, and I’m telling you, that product everybody needs, because I’m telling you, we don’t eat the right diets…we don’t have the right digestion.”

Holy christ!!! Can you jam more lies into a single run-on sentence? I doubt it. THIS is the kind of carnival-barking clown you trust with your health? These are all demonstrable lies….lies from a guy who appears to be near the top of this scheme and also good friends with the scum bag founder, Jeremy Fouts! So, tell me again how this ISN’T a giant scam? My god. If you are jumping in with this idiot, you need to have your head examined.

First of all, the leading cause of obesity is NOT “failure to pass waste through your system”. The cause is eating too much and not exercising enough. Period. NOWHERE in ANY scientific literature is the lead cause of people being fat “failure to pass waste” because “we don’t have the right digestion”. It’s not the second or third-leading cause either. It isn’t even on the list of causes. It is fabricated bullshit from a carnival barker and huckster running a nice scam. James West just made his first of many lies.

Luckily, James West the carnival barker has just the thing to get rid of all those unnamed “toxins, chemicals and impurities” – he just happens to be selling it! (I can’t tell you the price! PM me!). Please Jimmy…tell me what “toxins and chemicals and impurities” your CorVive product removes. Then tell me the mechanism of this removal. You can’t. Because it is a bald-faced lie.

“It supports the immune function, guys”. Really? Which part, Jimmy? Leukocytes? Lymphocytes? B-cells? T-cells? Can you even SPELL “T-cell”? NONE of these claims are supported by a shred of evidence…we just have to take Jimmy’s word for this.

“We don’t have the right digestion”. Ridiculous, outrageous and preposterous lie. I guess the human race has been digesting food incorrectly for tens of thousands of years and the CorVive product called CorRenew will correct this evolutionary oversight. Thank God a fat moron on YouTube informed me of this! He seems quite knowledgeable about biology and physics. I MUST overpay for this product…NOW…so I can “get in on the ground floor” of this fine company and join this ~~gaggle of charlatans~~ awesome team!

More Jimmy West b.s. coming soon!!

Just How Overpriced Are CorVive MLM Products? UPDATED

The CHEAPEST option starting out (according to carnival barker James “Jimmy” West Cor200 and his hilarious video of lies) is the Ach13ve kit, which STARTS at $100.

Knowing how slime balls like Jeremy Fouts (founder of CorVive) operate, I’m sure there are additional costs in there, but I’ll give slime ball Jeremy Fouts the benefit of the doubt, and go with an even $100.

**UPDATE** – a CorVive huckster on Facebook just told somebody that “the 15-day package you need with XLR8 is $134”. Holy christ…are people REALLY paying $268 per MONTH for stuff you can easily buy for $96 per month elsewhere?? Please tell me they aren’t.

What do you get for $100? [actually $134] A measly 15 day supply of protein powder (CorPower) and XLR8 (their Ketone goBHB supplement).

See all the slick and clever names??? Ach13ve? XLR8? That’s so you don’t notice you are buying the exact same crap everyone else sells for far less. You are paying for the packaging.

As I’ve covered before, there are TONS of protein powders out there that are very reasonably priced. My example was 72 servings for $53 – or about 74 cents per serving. I’ve personally used this powder for 18 years (no, I don’t get paid to say that, nor do I win trips to Mexico).

So – a 15 day supply of the stuff I use costs about $11. But it’s even worse! CorVive only gives you 22 grams of protein per serving and many other (cheaper) places give you 24 or 25 – which is 10% more. So, I’ll be charitable to slime ball CorVive founder Jeremy Fouts again and call it $10.35 cents for MY 15 days supply of whey protein.

[Of course, if you are a guy lifting weights, you need to take in between 150 and 220 grams of protein per day to actually build muscle – so you would need 6 or 10 of these per day, but we’ll ignore that for now. It’s also only 100 or 130 calories, so it is HARDLY a “meal replacement” item, seeing as the average person eats between 1800 and 2800 calories per day, depending on gender]

[ What is goBHB and exogenous ketones? Click here to learn more. ]

So that leaves $89.65 [*updated $123.65*] to be accounted for when comparing normal supplements to CorVive’s over-priced products. I guess that XLR8 stuff must really be good, to cost over $89 for a 15 day supply!!!

Not really. Go to Amazon and search for “goBHB” – there are DOZENS of choices with the same ingredients as XLR8 – and MUCH cheaper. They even use the EXACT same phrases that carnival barker James West Cor200 does! Phrases like “increases mental focus! Supports weight loss!”

After only 30 seconds of searching, I found a product with the same ingredients in the same amounts as XLR8 for $76 (Ketond Advanced Ketone Blend). That sounds like a lot of money, until you realize that is for a MONTH supply…not 15 days. So we cut that in half to $38.

Add my protein cost of $10.35 to the $38 for the goBHB product and you come up with $48.35. Compare this to CorVive “STARTING at $100” price tag, and you are being gouged for over 100% markup!

Why would CorVive charge you TWICE [*UPDATED – almost TRIPLE] what this stuff is worth? Because in a MLM scam, the shit rolls downhill and the money rolls up! It rolls up right up into the pockets of Jeremy and Candace Fouts…the slime balls who started CorVive. In MLM schemes, according to FTC studies, roughly 99% of participants LOSE MONEY.

MORE GOOD NEWS: On EVERY CorVive product, you will notice a little * next to EVERY claim…and later you will read that “these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease”.

Know what that means? It means you are on your own and Jimmy West (Cor200) the carnival barker and Jeremy Fouts the slime ball can say just about any slippery thing they wish.

They can say absolute crap like “the number one cause of weight gain is the body not passing waste” (yes, James West says this lie over and over)…and that they just happen to have a laxative (yes, it is a laxative, not a ‘cleanse’) called CorRenew. CorRenew has senna in it. Senna is simply a medication used to treat constipation and to evacuate the large intestine before surgery. It does NOT ‘remove impurities and toxins’ – your body does that all by itself.

Remember, there are around SIX HUNDRED MLM schemes in operation right now…and around SEVENTY of those are in the “weight loss, dietary supplements, health supplements” category.

Every one of those MLMS is full of acolytes with eyes full of dollar signs and thinking THEIR pills/potions/powders are special. They aren’t.

CorVive is not a revolutionary product or idea. It’s just another MLM – and, according to Federal Trade Commission studies, between 96% and 99.6% of MLM participants LOSE MONEY.

Before you throw money at a slime ball like Jeremy Fouts (who was previously deeply involved in GenesisPURE – a now defunct MLM that sold – you guessed it – nutritional supplements) ask CorVive for an income disclosure statement. That statement will tell you EXACTLY how much money MLM participants make. If they refuse to give you an income disclosure form, you should run the other way as fast as you can.

In the next post, we will delve into the history of hucksters Jeremy and Candace Fouts...how they used to work for GenesisPURE under a scammer, quack and hustler named LINDSEY DUNCAN.

MLM Cults Explained…

The beauty of these schemes is after people fail (and the vast majority do fail), the scheme members who haven’t yet failed blame the victim for their failure. “You didn’t put in enough hours” “You didn’t do it right” “You’re just no good at this” The most sinister aspect of MLM scams is there is no ‘be your own boss’. You’re still working for someone else. That client list you built up after hundreds of hours of harassing coworkers, friends and family? It can likely be taken from you in an instant with no compensation. The most insulting aspect of MLM scams is they go out of their way to insult people working for a living.

It’s extremely ironic to me how the philosophy of almost every MLM is simply a facade of benevolence to cover up their deceitful tactics. Most MLM’s claim to want to help people improve their lives but immediately put them down and degrade them when they choose to call out the company and its tactics by saying “they didn’t work hard enough” or something of that sort.

The thing about MLMs and pyramid schemes is that they will inevitably implode on themselves, they’re unsustainable as a business model. Of course, by the time the company has collapsed in on itself, the people at the top have either a) retired to a nice island, or b) moved on to start another company with the same business model, often leaving those at the bottom with nothing to show for the months/years of their life they wasted other than debt and sometimes a criminal conviction. But please, tell me again how I can make thousands at home selling vitamin powder in a capsule.

Bottom line: If you need 40 people in your network to make a living, then only 1 in 40 people in that MLM can ever make a living.

Whey Protein = Whey Protein = Whey Protein

Protein shakes ARE a good way to get a lot of protein quickly – as opposed to eating piles of chicken breast or fish. However, whey protein is whey protein – and the stuff with fancy packaging and a price so high it allows people to try and win free trips to Mexico is the same as the stuff you can buy on Amazon for 75 cents per serving. Whey protein = whey protein.

Very delicious Rocky Road flavor – $53 for 72 servings. 24 grams of protein per serving and TWENTY delicious flavors! And I make ZERO money by giving you this information.

Another great option is Muscle Milk (also available on Amazon). This is $2.50 per bottle (25 grams of protein and 160 calories), in case you are too lazy to stir a powder into a drink. Of course, if you are too lazy to stir powder into a drink, then you are probably too lazy to do the large amounts of exercise that will enable you to lose 15 pounds in a month…which is why you believe fantastical tales of magic potions that “melt the fat away” in the first place!!

*Disclaimer: I am not trying to win a trip to Mexico by selling you this. Nor am I trying to recruit you into any MLM cult and who tells you to go out and recruit other cult members so I can make money off of everyone you recruit to sell wildly overpriced whey protein. I am just stating scientific fact that 25 grams or protein = 25 grams of protein no matter how fancy the box is.
