Q: validity of Sleepees & Skinees
asked by: wcoast on August 23rd, 2006

A friend of mine is trying to convince me to get involved what appears to be a distribution marketing scheme that involves these two health products, sleepees and skinees.


In my cursory due dilegence by evaluating the company's website (http://ourworldnetwork.Co m) all I can find is 99% of the site's content is about its marketing program and 1% (if even that) is on the product. The product description is merely a mentioning of its "natural, harmless" non-addictive ingredients. That's all. No independent medical reports, no testing, no government approvals.


So I like to hear back from people and especially medical folks that have heard about this product. Is this a marketing scam that may be harmful to users?

Sleepees
I've tried them and they work really well, though I have to take 3 or 4 rather than 1 or 2. I've tried every natural remedy out there and these are the only ones that have ever worked.

Having said this, I hate multi-level marketing schemes and that's how these are sold, unfortunately.

But, they really, really worked for me. I'm going to take them off to a chinese medicine place and see if they can recreate the formulation close enough to have similar benefits.

I am glad to hear that they do work. Fortunately I sleep well so i've never had a need to test them out myself. Looking forward to hear back from you when you have a moment to chat to your chinese herbalist. It would very interesting if he can determine the ingredients.

It seems that the biggest concern voiced by many is the uncertainty of the “ingredient not normally part of the propriety mix”.

Some people have also been concerned that it could be a dangerous substance. The fact is we were told verbally that there were indications of a compound called estazolam in sleepees product. The potential adverse effects of this ingredient can be found on health canada’s web site.

These adverse effects normally arise from significant amounts and we have yet to be given evidence of high levels in our product. However, to be on the safe side because we are promoting health, it is better to avoid it all together and avoid any possible risks.
