I'm not going to get on here and tell people what to believe. I'll tell one quick story I've been privy to:
I worked for a an MLM that distributed nutritional supplements. In my experience there are good supplements and poorer quality supplements. To my knowledge there is no magic elixir that cures all ills. I received a call one day from one of our consumers. He was practically in tears. He stated he had been diagnosed with leukemia about 6 months prior. He had just come from his doctor. He was told his cancer was in remission. He told me that he was just finishing his second course of chemotherapy. This coincided with his recently new regimen of consuming one of our main products, a mineral supplement. After 4 weeks of taking our product he was now in remission. He gave full credit to the product. I understand there are many, althought too few, stories of cancer patients going into remission. Nor is this a story about magic elixirs. I am simply pointing out that often miracle is in the eye of the beholder. A logical person would, as I do, lean towards the chemo as the factor. I really found it humorous at the time. At the end of the day I don't think it matters if theses 'miracles' are truly miracles. If it works to help someone get out of bed and face the world, then I advocate calling them whatever you want. It is when, as Loser points out, they are creations of and for personal gain that the problems arise.
