Vemma for real or a bunch of BS?

[HeXploiT]

I had two people over the weekend telling me about one of the benefits of vemma. One of them is an honest man who is 75 and whom I've known for my entire life who told me that after he started using vemma he dropped a bunch of his meds and no longer needed to use his cane.
All sorts of magical stuff on the web about this drink/supplement but I wonder if any of you have experience with this substance.
Clearly it's a genius network marketing campaign but does it really work?

Oh and did I mention that it's expensive?

The placebo effect is strong enough to sometimes cure cancer... don't question it.

Aren't you the fool who posts all of that 9/11 conspiracy garbage?

Just another drink with vitamins in it, so no, its not total BS, but its not Ambrosia or the elixir of life or anything, and you could likely get the vitamins some other way for much less money (just buy a box of Multi-Grain Cheerios or Total for instance).

As for the old guy, well, for all the supposed wisdom gained with age, there's often plenty of senility as well. He really didn't need all of that if he could stop using them just by drinking this stuff. Sad thing is, he's just replaced them with this drink, so he's still relying on a crutch, just of a different sort.

People really underestimate psychology in their overall health, which is why placebo has proven to be so powerful. But hey, if it works for them (and its probably cheaper than the meds), cool I guess.

LOL you really need to ask? Man I gotta invent some complete bullshit product and market it hard to morons, make millions of dollars. It seems people will believe pretty much anything.
