Ben Carson closely tied to Mannatech
The Wall Street Journal has revealed that Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson, M.D., has had a “long and personal involvement” with Mannatech, Inc., a multilevel marketing company that has faced serious government regulatory action. [Maremont M. Ben Carson has had ties to dietary supplement firm that faced legal challenge. The Wall Street Journal, Oct 5, 2015] The article noted:
In 2009, the company settled false-advertising charges brought by the Texas attorney general’s office, which had alleged that Mannatech had permitted “deceptive" and “illegal” miracle-cure testimonials at sales meetings and allowed materials circulated by associates suggesting its products could treat or even cure Down Syndrome, cystic fibrosis, autism, cancer and other serious illnesses.
Carson has given four paid speeches at Mannatech gatherings, most recently one in 2013 for which he was paid $42,000.
Until recently, Carson appeared in promotional videos posted on Mannatech’s website. In one such video, he said that Mannatech represented "an incredible opportunity for anybody who really wants to be involved with doing something themselves, making a good living . . . "
In another video (still posted on YouTube), Carson praised the company for “trying to find a way to restore natural diet as a medicine, or as a mechanism for maintaining health.”
In the YouTube video, Carson also talks about his personal use of Mannatech products. Dr. Stephen Barrett believes that Carson’s enthusiasm for “natural products” reflects poor medical judgment.

I had to look this Mannatech company up. And wow. Marketing saccharides (a.k.a. carbohydrates) as treatments and cures for cancer and Down’s Syndrome? Good job douchebags.
Oh, but wait. They’re selling “glyconutrients”. As we all know, name change = magic healing properties.

But you see, this is really just evidence of the Liberal media attempting to bring down a good Christian man. His popularity will probably skyrocket.

I think Sarah Palin has shown us that doesn't work. You can now get rich by running for office with no real sense of how politics works, but you can't actually win an election.
