In reply to the discussion: Me vs CP and DU (the long story, for those who don't know it) [View all]LeftyMom
(49,212 posts)140. Is this the website for the product you're suggesting people use? Because this sounds shady as hell.
Your website is suggesting people give their children 1.5x the adult dose of a product called PDCM 72+
This is what that product's manufacturer says about their business:
http://www.millenniumnaturalhealth.com/about-us.aspx
Millennium Selection(TM) was founded in 1996 and introduced to the public as a multi-level marketing (MLM) also called network marketing, company called The Millennium Marketplace, Inc. The present President, CEO, Vincent F. Salvia, BS, MBA was one of the founders of The Millennium Marketplace, Inc. and helped the organization achieve significant growth during the first years of operation. Selecting the best all-natural products and visiting manufacturer's facilities was an integral part of the original business plan and this philosophy has continued to this day.
Vincent found that product prices would be more competitive outside of the MLM business model. By 1998 he bought out the other partners and transitioned the company into a traditional product sales model and correspondingly reduced the price of the products.
Millennium is a boutique natural products company serving customer across the country from its facility in Rochester Hills, Michigan. Product quality, product value and customer service are the hallmarks of its success. Many of the original customers who began using Millennium products are still active. Its flagship product PDCM72+®, plant derived colloidal minerals, continues to be an important daily supplement to Millennium customers. In addition to direct customer sales, Millennium products are found in health food stores and in the offices of naturopathic healthcare professions primarily in Southeastern Michigan.
Consistent with Vincent's life focus on health and wellness, he expanded into the healthcare industry in 1999 founding Angel Healthcare Group which recently evolved into Generations Home Care Group, one of Michigan's largest privately owned homecare services agencies. Please see www.generationshomecare.us for more information.
For those of you who were researching the importance of personal health and wellness back in the 1970's you might recall the product called Laetrile (chemical name amygdalin). Vincent had his professional introduction into the critical importance of each individual's accountability for health in 1976 when he became Executive Vice President of U.S. Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (USPI) based in Manitowoc, WI. USPI was the only American manufacturer of Laetrile. This is quite another story so ask if you would like to learn more!
I encourage people to poke around on their website and make up their own minds, it really speaks for itself.

Thank you, Ida, for putting your story out here. I guess you'll just have to continue step by step.

No- some of it's just trying to find a right & acceptable way to say shitty things to people.

Lol! There is truth in that. Maybe we do it with our political beliefs, too?

No, because cerebral palsy by definition is an incurable permanent mobility disorder.

No, it really wouldn't, because it involves preexisting supplements -- not some new drug.

Can you link to your 501 (c) 3? I can't find it with the IRS lookup tool or Charity Navigator.
