MLM Science - An Oxymoron An "oxymoron" is "a phrase combining two contradictory terms." And there is no better example of such a phrase than "MLM Science". Legitimate MLM companies with real products based on genuine science can back up their product line with independent clinical trials and studies and detailed scientific research.
The red blood cell videos being used by both Eniva and 8ight.com look and sound impressive - but they are frauds. Here is what a REAL scientist has to say about this phenomenon: Live-blood Analysis by Norman Allan "...almost everyone puts undue emphasis on the fact that red cells clump together in coin-like stacks (or rouleaux formation) and treat this as pathological. In fact RBCs clump together in rouleaux stacks wherever space allows them to. They do this, actually, to reduce the viscosity of the blood and for the protection that the red cells receive by traveling in these train-like processions. This is a normal function of blood and, furthermore, its extent cannot be easily quantified with live-blood work. (This is because we can not calculate exactly how thick the sample is at any point.) The extent of this clumping, this rouleaux formation can however be easily measured in standard blood work as sedimentation rate, or SED rate. (If rouleaux formation is excessive the blood sediments settle more quickly.) SED rate is a general indicator of inflammation. We generally expect the SED rate to be elevated in inflammatory conditions such as arthritis. But SED rate is a very general and imprecise measure, and medicine pays little attention to it nowdays." Live-blood Analysis Likewise, if a company relies on testimonials, muscle testing and blood cell oxygenation demonstrations to validate their product line, you can be quite certain that you are witnessing a scam in progress. |
