Rain Nutrition has two products - Soul and Rush.

Here's a description of Soul from the Rain Nutrition website:

RAIN'S FLAGSHIP PRODUCT; rich in free radical fighting antioxidants and loaded with essential fatty acids is no ordinary supplement. It is extraordinary. The proprietary blend of Black Raspberry, Black Cumin, Chardonnay Grape, and D-Ribose in SOUL help replace cell energy, have excellent anti-inflammatory properties, and help support a healthy immune system. The added bonus of the powerhouse antioxidant, Resveratrol, found in the Chardonnay Grape, may also enhance heart, muscle, brain, and kidney health. It has been hailed as one of the most important anti-aging supplements ever discovered.

Here's a description of Rush from the Rain Nutrition website:

RUSH'S UNIQUE COMBINATION of free radical fighting antioxidants and proprietary energy blend put it in to a class of it's own. The added bonus of essential vitamins C, B6, and B12 make it truly unbeatable.

Other energy drinks may provide empty calories and may be loaded with synthetic stimulants that can make you jittery and can be crash-inducing. RUSH is a healthy blend of natural ingredients and extracts from botanical seeds. This refreshing and energizing drink is delivered in a convenient 8.4 oz. can that you can easily grab on the go and enjoy as needed to gain natural sustained energy.

This on the science behind Rain Nutrition from the Rain Nutrition website:

Rain Nutrition draws on fifty years of empirical research by Arnold S. Leonard, M.D., Ph.D., a thoracic and pediatric surgeon. For the last fifteen years, he has dedicated himself to finding a cure for cancer using genetic engineering.

While researching his latest FDA-approved cancer therapy, he discovered that it became even more effective when combined with certain botanic oils and seed flours. As a scientist, he was skeptical, but research at his lab and at others confirmed that combinations of these oils and flours produced much higher antioxidant levels than the weighted average. In other words, the total antioxidant power was greater than the sum of its parts. These synergistic combinations of natural ingredients give Rain Nutrition products higher antioxidant levels than even the most potent "superfood," helping us address today's most urgent health concerns.

I'm sure some rogue distributor is already claiming it cures cancer....we'll keep our eyes and ears open and keep you informed.

Ok you get the point.  Arbonne reps have been saying that Arbonne is a debt free company.  Now let's look at what a recent memo from Arbonne's CEO says about it's debt:

"In recent weeks, I—along with CFO Mark Lehman and our financial advisors—have been meeting with our lenders to discuss constructive ways in which we can strengthen the company’s balance sheet, and thereby enhance our future financial performance..."

"To the extent that we ultimately pursue financial restructuring with our lenders, the intent is merely to convert debt to equity, namely ownership."

Interesting for sure.  But then Kay Napier goes on to say the following (I'm sure making everyone involved sleep better):

"Such measures will have no impact on our day to day operations. The company has more than enough positive cash flow to continue our normal operations, and we expect there will be no disruptions to our relationships with Arbonne Independent Consultants, employees, suppliers or vendors."

Translation: Please don't stop handing out the puppies errrr I mean using the Results Approach.

A call to Arbonne was returned but passed off to another employee who has yet to return my call.

Hello,
During the PPL Pre-Launch we had a PPL member who had replicated our corporate marketing site as their own and made some very outlandish claims including Wal-Mart. This caused Wal-Mart to pull out. The PPL Corporate Office was made aware of this situation and helped us shut down this and other similar sites. We have been working on re-establishing this relationship and are making headway.

Thanks,
Bill Rodgers
CEO

Seems like some bad apples messed up the Wal-Mart relationship with hype and lies.
