Don Lapre

Don Lapre is a fast-talking character who has been selling "get rich" opportunities for many years. Doug Grant is a "nutritionist" who claims to have vast experience in advising people about health and fitness. In 2003 they teamed up to promote "The Greatest Vitamin in the World," which Grant reportedly formulated and Lapre began marketing through infomercials and Web sites.

The source of Grant's nutrition credential seems to be from American Holistic College of Nutrition. This entity was a non-accredited correspondence school that taught fringe methods and had no recognized academic standing.

Lapre's 2004 infomercial claimed that "The Greatest Vitamin in the World" contains "all you need for optimal health" and also presents a great financial opportunity For $35, viewers could become "independent advertisers" who, the infomercial promised, would get paid $1,000 or "up to $200 a month for life" every time they got 20 people to try the vitamin. The information stated that "nothing like this has ever been created until now!" and that making money is easy because all anyone had to do is direct people to their Web site, which was designed to persuade them to buy the product.

The vitamin itself retails for $39.95 plus $8.65 for a 30-day supply. Twenty purchases would add up to about $900. How is he able to pay out $1,000.00 to collect $900.00. Perhaps he know that you will not be able to sell the package to the required 20 people and he will not have to pay out anything.

The new infomercials aired, in 2006, now offer to pay $500 each time a distributor you sign up gets 20 or more people to try the vitamin. We believe that this makes the finances of the entire program even more unworkable than described above, because the company would now have to pay out $1,500 rather than $1,000 for the privilege of collecting $900.

You might like to know that before you receive anything, you will get a call from one of his telemarketers. If you notice on the bottom of the TV screen there is a disclaimer that says something like these students may have purchased more expensive training to reach their current status. This is what the telemarketers WILL call you about!

So now you are stuck with the first charge and before receiving any material they want more money from you to help you get rich.

My question is just who is getting rich because it sure isn`t going to be you.

In July 2005, the FDA ordered Lapre to stop claiming that his vitamin product can prevent or cure a long list of diseases.

Although Lapre made superficial changes in his product descriptions, the FDA warned again in 2006 that consumer testimonials and other statements on his Web site still evidence that the product isintended to treat, cure, prevent, or mitigate diabetes, cancer, arthritis, and other diseases.

I think that before buying anything from this man I would suggest spending your money on some nice beach front property in Arizona or get a job with him.
