    Now I see why people start MLM Companies

    It's amazing that these things still work. It just shows how powerful selling hope and appealing to fears can be. They're using the dark side of the force. A productocracy is the light side.

    Great idea @MTF! I'm thinking about joining you all on the three day fast. Another benefit is that autophagy helps to remove precancerous cells. If you're a coffee addict, consider caffeine pills.
