I just completed my initial consultation with a person by the name of Dave Larson, who acknowledged he is not a healthcare professional, just a salesman. I was upfront with Mr. Larson that I was uncertain about what the program included, and that finances would likely be a limiting factor, if he wanted to skip to those issues in order to avoid wasting his time. He assured me he had plenty of time and that there was an order to the pitch and to just hang tight. Once he was done with the presentation, I was fairly impressed with the program, though admittedly concerned about the expense (it's $8K, by the way). When I indicated that I wondered how to get in touch with him in the near future once I was ready to sign on, he went FULL snake oil salesman with his bullish, emotional manipulation. As I reflected over the phone call I realized he was injecting these predatory sales tactics all along. For example, half way through he instructed me that he didn't believe I was going to be capable to make a decision and that he thought I needed to reschedule so my husband could be there to make the deal. (um...wut?) At the end, I was scolded and informed I just wasn't motivated enough...just like he suspected. (!!!) I informed Mr. Larson, that I am indeed motivated, and that I intend to sign on to a program, but that I am doing my research to determine where and with whom. (Certainly not with this organization, which is sad because Dr. Axe is a hero of mine.) I likewise informed Mr. Larson, he might want to reconsider his sales practices, since he had previously indicated he was new to the program. Just a disgusting way to treat people, especially folks who are particularly vulnerable with health issues. I sincerely hope folks from The Health Institute understand how a person like this reflects on Dr. Axe and his legacy. Shameful stuff...
