My name is Ryan and I appreciate your reply, I am sorry about your
bird!  I have great story about a my family's budgie when I was growing
up... I am sorry to hear that your experience was not as good as my
family's.  I do not have a bird now, I have a newborn and a two year
old that I care very much about.  We are definately not one of the many
multi-level marketing companies out there.  I know because I have been
introduced to many of them and most of the people I now work with at
Melaleuca lost big saving to them.  If I may, I would like to respond
to your points.
First, the is a low $29 enrollment fee that is a one time fee.  This
will get you started with there products and get you a packed business
kit showing you how to earn a residual income by refering others.  The
marketing executives are subscribed to our business publications that
do cost $11 a year renewal, but that is it!  When speaking of cost, if
you would like, I can send you a cost comparison of everyday products
compared to major brands purchased at Walmart.
2. The contract, this is necessary because of the terms and
conditions...the "strings" are the avenue in which we get a check back
from the company every month when we refer others (no quotas involved).
This allows us to make it a home-based business.
3.  And believe me, I have tried other "natural cleaners"...the one's
that work are still harsh on the skin and hard to use in an enclosed
area because of the fumes.  Others that are truly natural, or the kind
you make yourself, didn't work well enough for me to get rid of my
toxics like bleach, ammonia, tub/tile cleaner and others.  We no longer
have any of these toxic cleaners and my family and I are safer.
4.   My wife had talked to a person who would use the Melaleuca(tea
tree) oil on a canine that had doggy dermititis of some sort.  I
personally would not promote the use of pure oil on animals these
smaller animals.  I know that there are many species of tea tree oil
that have many different compositions.  Our products use the purest
form of Melaleuca arternifolia that is proven to be the mildest and
most effective form.
Our company has been around for 20 years and is doing very well.  The
founder and CEO is well known in the business world for his application
of moral principle when creating the "business law"  that governs his
company.  I would love to talk to you more to find out if you were a
customer or if you had a friend that was.

Another thing that cleans well and is completely nontoxic (and nearly free)
is steam.  Steam cleaners are available starting around $40 and up.  You
never have to pay for any chemicals and there is no smell.

Hey Phisherman

I use the dish soap to clean the sink too, I come from a background in
Biology and I have a good working knowledge of bacteria and the whole
anti-bacterial craze. The dish soap that I use has no formaldehyde.
You are right about the vinegar, our glass cleaner utilizes this.  But
ammonia?!  If my two year old had gotten to the ammonia and drank it, I
would be praying for her life!  The same with bleach...bleach kills all
bacteria and it his extremely caustic.  Do you have children!?  Bleach,
which is in the dishwashing liquid, does not go away that easily.  It
is not like alcohol that evaporates.  When you wash dishes in a dish
washer with the store brands, the bleach will reside on your plates and
reactivate when you put your hot food there and sit down to ingest it.

I am posting to one group.  Spam and "SPAMMERS" send deceptive
advertising to thousands of people.  I am a family man and I am not
deceptive.  These are also my opinions and I am giving some the choice
to learn more so that they can choose for themselves.  Check out
