H.R. 2908: Testimonial Free Speech Act of 2011
This bill is to: Protect the First Amendment rights of individuals to share their experiences and perceptions of the effects of foods and dietary supplements.
As you know we are not allowed to put testimonials on our websites if they speak of any supplement linked to a disease. So, we cannot share our personal testimonies even on our own sales website. NSP has spent a fortune in legal fees trying to get all distributors into compliance by rewording all of their materials over the past ten years since the FDA got real heavy on patrolling this aspect of the internet.
We were one of the earlier websites contacted because we had “Success Stories” on our sales website. Now we have them on our non-sales website, The Frugal Life, so they will be available to our Sunshine Family and others to see what worked for somebody else. They are one of the links we provide in each issue of this newsletter at the bottom area of resources.
If you’ve not taken the opportunity to submit a letter to your congressman to co-sponsor this bill, you can do so through a website where you enter your zip code to do so. It will send a copy of the letter there … or one you write yourself … to any and all of your congressman. on our health news blog website.
Excerpts From Linda and Jim Jenks Fall Newsletter
Jim and Linda are a few levels upline from us and being Senior National Managers, they share NSP news in their quarterly newsletter. I thought I’d share some of what’s going on behind the scenes at NSP that was mentioned:
There is a revival spirit going through Nature’s Sunshine. We are excited about the changes. One being the messages on the front of the bottles along with the returning our price sheet to the one we’re all used to. More changes are coming. Several new products are being considered. New people have been hired and are affecting sales and products. A Doctor is being considered to help with products and lecturing, one who has clinical experience …. Greg Probert is the new Vice Chairman on the NSP Board … When asked Greg, Kristine [Hughes] replied, “Jim, I think he gets it.” Greg is now an employee of NSP and continues to consult with Michael Dean, our new CEO. We now have Manager Committees receiving information from you and forwarding these ideas to Corporate. Corporate is listening and reacting to you, us. NSP is finally on the move.
They are supposed to get information out to us on a regular basis through email, so we will be updating you in future issues of this newsletter or sending out special bulletin emails if the info is time- sensitive.

Our Website Is For You … Not Just Shoppers
The Herbs Place has been adding content to the website since it began in 1998 and we’ve never stopped. There’s a lot of information there for you, so make use of it with the search engine. There are over 8,000 pages and literally a million links to information. For ideas on health problems, use the online catalog. Testimonials are favorites since they tell you what worked for somebody else. We can’t show them on The Herbs Place due to FTC/FDA laws, so we have posted years of success stories on our TheFrugalLife.com site. You can share these testimonials with customers by cutting and pasting it into an email.

Some people in our group love working most with animals instead of people. We have herbal success stories for pets in the pet area of The Herbs Place website. Also check out our dedicated pet website, Healthy Pet Corner, and use the search engine.
