One thing you have to remember...
If you keep buying the overinflated priced products without those studies/proof... They will never have any intentions of getting those studies/proof. Why would they spend more money, to make less?
I believe it is also part of the marketing strategy also... Where else can you get free advertising like this. (Suppose they did have the studies and proof in hand, and just withheld it, so as to cause a mini-panic among the activists. Though I do realize that is not the case.)
In large-scale marketing, it would cost billions for this level of exposure. Even if they get shut-down, they have already made that, free of charge, from the sale of over-priced items to the stores, private investors, and sales-reps. They don't' care if one single customer buys the item, they only have to convince sellers that customers want to
buy it, and are willing to pay that price.
Come-on, I paid $150.00 for an x-box 360, shipped... and it has 8,000 times the circuitry and craftsmanship and material inside. It even came with two high quality Lithium ion
batteries that were brand new, and does not require the additional purchase of parts every month, and year. (Talking about the atomizer life expectancy and battery life expectancy with these chargers.)
I am not knocking any brand or price, just sizing up the way a majority of people think. Everyone knows a novelty when they see one. Novelties have little information, lots of false information, unrealistic claims, unregulated production, offer drop-shipping, show MSRP which is obviously 10x the value as opposed to 2x the value, and have disposable companies which all have relabeled products made by one or two manufactures.
Where is this taking us? It is taking us into a true consumer level for these products. Now, the novelty is over, and they have customer expectations to meet, laws to follow, and responsibility and obligation to their largest sellers.
We, the customers, as well as the sales representatives, need to contact the companies and make the demands. We are the ones in control now. We are the majority. We are their future funding.
This is how you use nations and the public to get what you want. This is the greatest public manipulation you will ever have within your grasp. Making demands from a seller, who does not actually make anything is like talking to a wall. They are only 100 voices to the company, and companies don't like to listen to sellers alone, however, they can't cover their ears from the 100,000 voices from each of the 1,000 customers that each of the 100 sellers has. Nationally, it is 1,000,000,000 voices in the single voice of the FDA, which is easy for them to ignore, but impossible to avoid.
