Beware of stangers bearing gifts! They can be your worst enemy and only out for themselves. Jim Bellacera for one. Comes across as this devout Christian, oh but do not stand up to him or refuse him in anyway as his vulgar abusive language that you would never see in the public eye will appear.. He is a fraud! Stay clear. He appears to be a saint beware of his temper and anger he holds within.. Every problem he has had is because of everyone else, he will never admit to his own failures caused by only himself! Do yourself a favor find a daytime job with secure pay and benifits. He will only tell you lies that will benefit himself only!</p> I have met so many people who are almost to the point of shoving their product down your throat and at the same time giving you the old I am your best friend, have good christian values, want what is best for your family yada yada yada.

I think you misstated above when you said Dallin Larsen. Reading further I noticed you said Brigg Hart. In your previous post you also mentioned "Monavies top check." Did you mean Dallin Larsen was on stage or was that a typo? Just looking to clear that up.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Laura</p> Hey Debbie,

Wow, interesting information. I think you misstated above when you said Dallin Larsen. Reading further I noticed you said Brigg Hart. In your previous post you also mentioned "Monavies top check." Did you mean Dallin Larsen was on stage or was that a typo? Just looking to clear that up.

So I posted my comment not knowing this was such a popular site. I hop back on one month later to find that I have been obliterated! :) Sorry Ty but I have been attacked so allow me the space to defend myself. Contrary to popular belief, at least on this site, I am not an exfuse (I have the spelling down now :)) distributor. It is a fair criticism to say that I was typing a rumor. However that rumor has been verified. The friend of mine who is involved in exfuse took a picture of Dallin Larsen on stage at the exfuse event. The location of this event was at the Riverton Community Center 12830 S Redwood Rd. Riverton, UT 84065. The date and time of the event was Tuesday, May 13, 2008 <br /> from 7:00PM - 9:00PM MDT. The event was hosted by Krista ang Greg Van Camp. Brigg was there and was introduced on stage. He said he was, "interested in the product and excited to be there". I am starting a blog next week and will post pictures of the event in question and possibly some video. As for his reasons for being there, if anyone has paid attention to Brigg´s own website and especially his peronal blog they would read first hand about his displeasure with (1) how the company has handled compliance after the amway lawsuit. Specifically the crackdown on health claims, one of Briggs many sales tactics. (2) Changes to the compensation plan. (3) Personality conflicts with the owners.<br /> To my ctitics on here, I am not involved with exfuze, I am currently looking for a home in the direct sales industry. <br /> Finally, none of you have addressed the fact that Dallin Larsen is a liar! The "top ten reasons to drink Monavie" pamphlet, remember that one? Up until the imagenetix lawsuit it was on their website. Do you know who authored it? Dallin Larsen. The number three reason to drink Monavie was "“Active” has the easiest to absorb & most concentrated form of Glucosamine and celedrin.¨" That my friends is a lie. He touted celedrin from stage, in literature and opportunity meetings when he knew full well the product had none. Liar, plain and simple.</p> Wow!

One year plus old company pretending to be in prelaunch with a MonaVie knock off (couldn't even come up with their own color, maybe they got a good deal on green neck sleaves) Interesting how some companies think that if you just look like MonaVie that you'll be wildly successful. It takes more than a bottle, it takes dedicated Distributors, heart, an outstanding comp plan and also a cause like the MORE Project. Otherwise, don't know much about ExFuze.</p> <p>Josh</p> hmm, ExFuze.

This is a perfect scenario of a weak attempt to bash a superior product through the internet from a company trying to duplicate the success of Mona Vie and ride the coat tails. Exfuze huh? Why even mention the product unless you are just trying to drive traffic to the site. It worked! I went their because I could clearly see the tactics you were trying to use (alright marketing I guess) BUT! Why drive people to a site when you are bashing a superior product? Mona Vie is clearly being proven time after time that it is having positive effects in ALL types of people in various areas. Look at the scientific proof to back it up, don't just take a distributors view on it! Besides just the product, the opportunity of the site you were "trying to market for" is an exact duplicate of Mona Vie! HA! It even looks like they cut and pasted a few things... I though that was pretty funny. Sorry but you have a long way to catch up to Mona Vie... When almost every company reaches the top or close to it there are usually a few law suits from dirty disadvantaged lawyers and companies waiting for them... That's just business. I am a Mona Vie Distributor and only got into the business because of countless hours of research and testimonials from HIGHLY accredited professionals and individual people. Go ahead and youtube it and see for yourself... A lot of MLM's can work but you have to make them work... Good luck and God Bless! </p> Debbie Cowley???????

I'm new at Direct Sales so be nice to me! May I ask why you folks are spending energy attacking each other instead of working your business?

Serioulsy, is this what I have to look forward to? I want to be excited about this.

Also, anyone out there know much about Exfuze?

Beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent life here.</p> <p>Josh S</p> It's easy to see that Brig could not have been at the alleged meeting that Debbie whoever she is mentioned.

Someone named Debbie comes along, makes up a pile of crap about MonaVie and you expect everyone just to sit back and ignore her. Just not going to happen. She is so far off base and just an out and out LIAR, even about her name, Debbie Cowley, which also means she or he is also lying about being a former MonaVie Distributor. </p> <p>Josh S</p> What do you expect Keith.

No word whatsoever (that I have heard or read at least) from Imaginetix. Seems a little odd to not hear from the originator of the lawsuit especially since Dallin is touting a "new and exciting working arrangement with Imaginetix"!?</p> <p>As for Brig... Do you know for a fact that he has not been in attendance at any other companies meetings? And I do mean "factually"! It's pretty easy to assume that simply because Brig is making millions from both MV and his tool business, he would "never" do what Debbie claims he has done. But, since we have "all" been taught that diversifying and creating "multiple" income streams is the smart thing to do, and since it is a well known fact that Dallin himself has made statements that there is "no problem" with "any" MV distributor, whatever their level, participating in other businesses, then it is also very easy to belive that Brig may in fact have been at those meetings. Since "I" have not been Brig's shadow during the times in question, I have "no way" of knowing whether he was or wasn't at those meetings. The same holds true for you... unless you were "with" Brig during the time(s) in question, then you "don't" know if he was or wasn't there. As such, you have taken a very bold step in the wrong direction by attacking Debbie on that point.</p> <p>The sad thing about your post is that dialog such as yours, demeaning from start to finish, does nothing but fuel those who have a dislike for MLMs. Again, if you have "facts" to back up your statements, then you are well within your rights to comment about them. But, instead of attacking, might the wiser choice have been to "politely correct" someone elses mistake?</p> Christian,
