My wonderful husband taught me early on not to be gullible. So when I wanted to start promoting Mannatech, I did a lot of homework first. Here are some valuable things I've learned:
1: When you look into something on the internet, if you stop at one or two things, your chances of being deceived are pretty huge. Anyone can post information on the internet, honest or dishonest. For example, I recently posted information about Ambrotose on my face book page. I got one comment with a link to 20/20. Praise God someone had enough thought to check into it before they decided "fact or fiction". Impressive! However,this was one of the boldest cases of media trickery I've ever seen! If you trust that the people involved in the making of that show are completely honest and what you see is all there is than I promise you at some point in your life you will be taken advantage of.
When I research, first I find the information, then I find out who produced the information and where the information comes from. Then, I find different information and do the same. If a law suit is involved and is an important factor, I research sites of public record to read about the case. Having the facts helps me then to understand the credibility of those posting other information. I NEVER stop at one.
2: Names mean nothing. The the most notorious medical university in the country would be thought of as the "end all - be all" of information, right? I'll just share an experience. While in a college data base I read a University article from the most notorious, stating there were no studies on glyconutrients. Five minuets later I had that study in my hand. Be a thinker!
3: The most important thing I do is ask God to show me the truth. Don't trust me, seek truth!
My next blog will be about the company, Mannatech, and the value of third party resources.
Till then, may God lead you in the light of Truth!
