Recently, my relatives had been promoting E. Excel health supplement products to my family quite aggressively.

I am not sure what kind of benefits they provide, to the extent that they claim these products boost immunity system, good for kids and even suppress cancer... shocking.gif

Are these products as good as claimed? I find them VERY expensive actually. A pack of "cactus juice" is around RRM500+.

I myself is a bit skeptical with MLM products, and now my relatives have been pushing us real hard to try them, so I wonder if you guys (instead of the hardcore E-Excel members) could enlighten me a bit about their benefits (or not)? Thanks in advance. smile.gif

If can cure cancer, all specialist will be running out of business  laugh.gif

the same question popped out in my mind, but since they are my relatives (to be frank - inlaws), I can't be so direct lar.

I'm not a member of that MLM group you mentioned but I'm a member of another MLM group that sells some health products similar like yours and it works for me to cure certain ailments.

I joined the MLM group not to join the business but because I bought the products.

You need to find out further how true are their claims. Don't just simply listen to them. Look at the ingredients and see how it benefits you.

So far my relatives swear by it, but I personally think fresh is the best compared to dried/concentrated/powdered/encapsulated etc.

Yah, I better go check out the ingredients.

No lar, they didn't tell me it cures cancer, "suppress" is the word used.

Don't you think these people would be making a complete fool out of you
if you were to pay them $ 500 for a bottle of cactus juice ?

Remember the noni craze some years ago, and all the direct sales companies
were jumping on the bandwagon ?

As I told my office manager at that time - these people are asking you to
pay $ 200 for a bottle of fruit juice.

MLM companies are started by conpeople who are out to make lots of
money from you, after finding some beneficial properties of herbs like
cancer fighters, forcing you to feed everyone of them from the downlines
to the Chairman, everytime you pay 100 times more for a product than
what it would normally cost on the free market.

There are lots of herbs, supplements and drugs which fight cancer.

The Mexicans have been using cactuses for since their forefathers
to fight cancer and other degenerative diseases.

The Mexican species of cactus which fights cancer is prickly pear,
botanical name Opuntia ficus-indica. Also called Nopal.

A similar species, Opuntia humifusa, is found in the US.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opuntia
Cactuses also fight diabetes.
Anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activity of whole extract and isolated
indicaxanthin from Opuntia ficus-indica associated with re-activation of the
onco-suppressor p16(INK4a) gene in human colorectal carcinoma (Caco-2) cells.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/24937448
Opuntia humifusa partitioned extracts inhibit the growth of
U87MG human glioblastoma cells.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/20814744/
Chemopreventive effect of cactus (Opuntia humifusa) extracts:
radical scavenging activity, pro-apoptosis, and anti-inflammatory
effect in human colon (SW480) and breast cancer (MCF7) cells.

You can get prickly pear from Iherb, cheap.

Thank you for the info. So cactus juice is considered beneficial.

Wah, i guess sooner or later these supplements will be available at local pharmacies @ a fraction of the price.

this is a long time ago thread smile.gif

The relatives no longer pushing us to buy these cactus juice concentrate. My inlaws also no longer purchase them (no mention even).

I doubt they even continue to drink it nowadays. The price is really steep to be honest.

this is really a long time ago thread i posted. As updated the previous time, I no longer see my relatives consuming these products by E.Excel.

I do give my kids supplements like Vitamin C tablets or Fish oil, but I only get them from local pharmacies haha. No fancy MLM brands.

Out of curiosity, is E. Excel still a trend nowadays?
