BEWARE!! It’s Almost Beaver Season!

No, not those adorable, furry little semi-aquatic rodents!

Jeremy ‘Meatball’ Fouts offers some high-priced fiber

I’m talking about the Eager Beaver CorVivers! The ones who appeared en masse (look it up, Monica) last December with promises of getting super rich while losing 50 pounds and annoying all your Facebook friends!

It’s about that time of year when the pyramid lovers emerge to prey on everyone feeling fat and broke after the holidays. The acolytes of Jeremy ‘Meatball’ Fouts may try and push overpriced laxatives and protein powders on you while promising riches and ‘being your own boss’.

This is, of course, all bullshit. Like the 600 other MLM pyramid scams currently in operation. Do yourself and your wallet a favor this year – and don’t fall for their nonsense. Remember that (according to Federal Trade Commission studies) 99% of MLM participants LOSE MONEY.

Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts Back on Facebook Pushing Overpriced Laxatives

As I watched Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts pushing laxatives (CorVive CorRenew product) and lying with almost every breath he took on his latest CorVive Facebook video, it occurred to me he might have made a great politician. If he wasn’t so short and fat, he might have had a chance to be a world-class, government-paid liar and maybe U.S. Senator instead of a sad, lumpy clown who pushes overpriced laxatives to suckers via Facebook video. It takes a special kind of scumbag to spout such absolute nonsense with a straight face. Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts is just such a scumbag.

In his latest video, Meatball Fouts not only tells everyone they should take his laxative every single morning because it removes all those pesky “toxins and chemicals” (lie) but he also intimates that it can probably reduce colon cancer as well! Wow. Meatball will stoop as low as he needs to in order to get your money.

Here is a transcript of his latest lies (8:32 mark in the video):

“Everyone today is struggling with their diets…with stress….they are struggling with going to the bathroom on a regular basis, that’s why colon cancer is so much on the rise…“

Stop right there for a moment. See how casually he throws out these lies and unfounded statistics? That is why you shouldn’t trust this scum bag and it is why any grown adult who is selling this garbage should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves. He just makes up complete lies on the fly without batting an eye. I don’t know how any of you sleep at night – even P.T Barnum would be ashamed to go this far with his hucksterism.

Colon cancer is NOT “so much on the rise”. Colon cancer has been DECREASING STEADILY for DECADES. Nice try, Meatball. Even if colon cancer WAS an exploding epidemic, your shitty, overpriced laxative isn’t going to do anything about it, except line the pockets of Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts and dirty the toilets of a lot of gullible suckers.

This is how Meatball Fouts, the midget snake, operates all the time: FIRST he throws out a ridiculous, demonstrably false claim (“colon cancer is on the rise” or “the leading cause of weight gain is failure to pass waste from your body”) THEN he offers his shitty, overpriced pills and says they will solve this fake problem – even though there is ZERO evidence of that. He REPEATEDLY claims that the CorRenew laxative removes “toxins and chemicals” from your body. This is absolute bullshit. I have repeatedly requested by email ANY studies that have to prove any of these wild claims and they refuse to respond.

In fact, ALL “cleanses” and “detoxes” are absolute, unmitigated bullshit. Of this, there is no question or doubt in the scientific realm.

The midget makes up a fake problem then offers a fake solution. This is the very definition of a scum bag and a snake oil salesman. Look up “huckster” in the dictionary, and you should see a photo of the scumbag Jeremy Fouts there staring you in the face.

Never ONCE does Meatball Fouts utter the words “exercise” or “proper nutrition” or “see your doctor before taking our snake oil” or “get a complete blood workup” or ANYTHING a normal person would do if they were serious about improving their health.

Anybody who believes a word this slime ball says has a pea brain.

How Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts Can Prove He is Not a Snake Oil Huckster

People ask why I have such vitriol for Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts and his snake-oil schemes. What do I care if a bunch of chumps get suckered by a huckster? No skin off my back, right?

To some extent, I don’t care. If somebody stays up late, sees an ad for an obvious boondoggle on TV like “The Thigh Master” and blows $40 then realizes it is a piece of garbage….well, they learned a cheap lesson and it ends there. Plus, you kind of brought it on yourself – the Thigh Master is more of a passive screw job.

Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts is a different kind of animal, however. A snake, to be exact. He makes wild promises of riches and being an “independent business owner” who badgers everyone in their social circle with outlandish and demonstrably false claims. He wants you to go and recruit other people into his scheme – not just buy a product from him. It’s all about the recruitment, not the product.

If Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts had actually invented revolutionary new products that led to incredible results, he could sell it like a normal person on a store shelf or Amazon or a health food store – where it would compete and presumably dominate the inferior products. The fact that he doesn’t do this speaks volumes. The “product” is mediocre, overpriced and secondary to his true aims – which is recruiting more suckers.

So this is an ACTIVE scam instead of a passive scam, like the Thigh Master.

Don’t believe me that it’s all about recruiting instead of product? Here is a snap shot from a meeting right here in town last month – sure looks like they are pushing the recruitment thing to me…it also is shaped very much like a pyramid:

Four people each recruit 4 people…then those 16 people recruit 4 people…etc, etc, etc. The people at the bottom of the pyramid will definitely get screwed – and the bottom gets bigger all the time. Which is why the FTC studies show that 99% of MLM participants lose money.

Google searches turn up loads of stories about poor suckers who get into MLMs and ruin their lives. Elderly people and single moms who believe slime balls like Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts and mortgage their homes, run up $20k in credit card debt, and have piles of unsold products in their garage – all because they believe the b.s. coming out of the mouths of a slime ball who told them they could make millions.

Meatball Fouts has been in the MLM game for a LONG time. He HAS to know that it ends badly for a majority of people…yet here he is, pushing b.s. stories about untold riches.

So….back to why I care. If I was in a crowded HEB in my small town surrounded by strangers and a rattlesnake came slithering into the store, I would feel the strong urge to yell “SNAKE!! Watch out!” even though I could just as easily walk away and keep my mouth shut. I mean, why would I care if a complete stranger gets bitten by a rattlesnake? I guess I’m just a big-hearted fool….plus it is totally normal human behavior. Only a complete pyscho WOULDN’T warn the strangers around him they are about to get bitten.

There are a few things Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts can do to prove he is not a snake-oil huckster preying on the gullible:

FIRST: Release an income disclosure statement for CorVive salespeople. I have requested one (twice) by email and gotten no response. If people really are all getting rich doing this, you’d think Meatball would be more than happy to show me the evidence.

I want to know the following:

  • Total distributors throughout the year
  • How the total distributor count is calculated (as of a certain date, using averages, or other methodology)
  • Number of new distributors during the year
  • Number of distributors who quit during the year (so you can calculate the churn rate)
  • Turnover rate
  • Number of distributors earning $0
  • Definition of “active” distributor
  • Total number of distributors at a supervisor or leader level (i.e. have recruited other distributors)
  • Total number of  “active” distributors at a supervisor or leader level
  • Amount of product purchased by each level of distributor for the year

I suspect the CorVive income disclosure statement would look very much like the Plexus income disclosure statement below (and all the other MLMs):

82.41% make average $300 per year

5.12% make average $1,707 per year

8.96% make average $3,778 per year

Right there, we are up to 96.5% of people make under $3,778 per year – and that does NOT include all expenses! Like hosting parties, paying for and driving to Plexus conventions, hotel rooms, “leadership retreats” (sound familiar??), etc. Hardly the vast riches promised by most MLMs.

SECONDLY: Show me the scientific studies (preferably double-blind) that prove many of the wild CorVive claims I hear. Claims like “this product removes toxins and chemicals” and “can help with ADHD”. Hell, show me ANY study of ANY CorVive product proving ANYTHING special about CorVive. I have requested these by email also: no response.

THIRDLY: Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts can explain to everyone why he left GenesisPURE, why GenesisPURE disappeared and was rebranded as LivePure and his relationship with Robert Lindsey Duncan – who paid a huge fine for pretending he was a doctor.

Until Meatball answers these reasonable questions, I will keep yelling “SNAKE!” to warn those around me of a predator in our midst.

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.
