Was that advertisement?  I thought I was bringing up an issue.

Ah, sorry.  I think I found a better article off of Michigan Live's business section.  I'll edit the OP.

Xelebes:
So apparently there is some connection of one sort or another.  It does make sense as to connections, considering that Dr. Rehnborg of Nutrilive did spend the period 1917-1927 in China from where he learned his remedies.  China seems to be a launching point for many washing schemes. It might also have a connection with Chinese emperor's efforts to combat heroin addiction within his troops while they were in a breathing gap between the two Sino-Japanese Wars.  It was also the 1920s that Canada used anti-Chinese sentiments to go after heroin.

--- Quote from: "Xelebes" ---I'm curious about a possible connection to Amway.  DeVos, owner of Amway also owns the Orlando Magic.  A new story has come out with the Detroit Red Wings having a new sponsorship agreement with Amway.  Link to article.

Looking up a few things, Amway and Nutriline have some very vague connections to Synanon (we might have to go to the 1920s or 1930s to find the link.)

I wish I knew more about Orlando city politics. I get the vague impression that... there's a fair amount of cronyism afoot.

As far as Amway is concerned, folks have made comparisons of Hyde School with Amway in the past. Here are two examples:


Excerpt of post from 08 Jan 2006:

--- Quote from: "Guest" ---My first impression of Hyde was that it reminded me of Amway with its therapeutic meetings that seemed to camouflage the hidden agenda of the 'LEADER'. I looked at this with some amusement, but when I saw first-hand that some of the kids there were being punished for behavior that was a direct result of their LD, I realized how destructive this type of school was for my daughter. She went into Hyde mildly depressed with no history of drug or alcohol abuse and certainly no suicidal intent. After being there for less than 2 months , she was routinely cutting her wrists. Her story might have ended in tragedy, had I listened to Hyde and stopped ' making excuses for my daughter and get with the program'.

The Family groups used to be like Amway.  There was pressure to find more families/students.  There was a guy in central mass in the 70's that was responsible for bring a bunch of families on board.  He was in the mental health field and knew were to find the crazies.  Hyde/Joe eventually pissed him off and he walked.  I wonder if that was part of hyde going under in the late 70's early 80's.  Joe just kept pissing people off.
