i have read some of the replies and spoke to someone from
another company DW Group. My sister was working for Asayo for a
period of time, and my family did buy numerous products from this
company and have been using their products for 3 years. thus i have
every reason to believe that the company does not validate all its
claims to market magnetic therapy as a healing product.
yes it does have magnets in the mattress, but the gaus level
(magnetic level i think, not sure of the scientific explanation) is
slightly higher than what is required for healing,
which is why some pple receive healing effects, and other pple
don't, possibly.
to those who work in Asayo Group because they have family members
who have been healed of arthritis, you might like to refer to oct 9
2003 in The Straits Times for an article on magnetic healing, and
relevant companies. first of all, arthritis is on and off, meaning
that the symptoms may go away not due to the
magnetic effects of the products. my mother had an ankle problem,
and she used magnetic mattresses and an ankle support for all these
years but was not healed.
one case of unvalidated claims made by the company's marketer or
worker, which is my sister (would you believe that Asayo cons their
own workers too? they delay payment for workers, yet expect swift
and timely payment for products. is that inefficiency, or poor
accounts? i'll leave you to decide) is "bad sheep", bad publicity
enough for the company, because it shows that there is a
possibility or probability that purchasing a $1600 magnetic
mattress, and more products like the pillow may
not work. if that is true, then why invest your hardearned
money on something that does not and is unlikely to yield the
results that you desire, ie. healing?
it is possible that Asayo's products do not work for some pple,
because the gaus level in the products are not high enough to
improve blood circulation, which reduces blood and swelling.
also there are companies who make use of multi level marketing to
cheat people to work there, or to purchase their products. promises
of vast profits after a minimum deposit or money capital has been
sunk in, are indeed an attractive lure for greedy people who fall
for it. you might like to note that many conmen (not referring to
Asayo Group) these days operate by asking you to put in a certain
amount of money, then abscond with it.
also, the decline of Asayo Group today is the best proof for its
unvalidated claims and not delivering up to its promises. it has
been around for less than 10 years and yet only has one office in
Novena. A company that deals with honesty and fairness will stand,
and does not need its workers to frantically call up long lost
friends or colleagues or neighbours to make appointments to meet a
certain quota so that they can receive commission or a high salary.
such a tactic feeds on greed in colleagues and does not promote
team spirit since one mentor may not teach its mentee well for fear
of her/him outshining or surpassing him/her. this spells trouble
for the company in terms of profit, which appears to be what is
driving Asayo Group.
i do not seek to make personal attack at Asayo Group as there is no
pressing need to, and this post is meant to serve as a warning for
anyone who is approached to buy their products. Yes it *may* work,
but chances are it might not. Take it from 4 people who have used
it for 3 years.
Check how long the product warranty is. That should give you a
glimpse into how durable this company's product is. the magnetic
level will fall by 2% per year, so if it was low, to start with,
chances are it might fall below the minimum level for it to cause a
change in the human body in a few years, just after the warranty
expires.
i am no scientist and thus have no basis to say whether or not
magnetic therapy works,but i will try it again from another company
which sell products which have a higher gaus level to see if it
works.
so do not use the 'once bitten twice shy' argument on
me, i am not writing this to redress the injustice this
company has done, instead i am writing to warn possible
consumers against products that simply do not deliver. i
am basing my argument on tested and proven-not-valid products from
this company, and have not been "conned by an outsider, but from
one in the family whom the company has "brainwashed" into believing
100% in Asayo's products and working unearthly hours for ghastly
pay (POSSIBLY exploitation of post A level students whose social
circles are not wide enough to hit the target?), and definitely has
no intention of tricking her family into buying substandard
products. the only problem is, she didn't know about the
substandard bit.
Asayo makes claims abt their products that they cannot deliver.
there is an element of truth in magnetic treatment since it dates
back to many centuries ago, and the West (Not just Japan, where it
has been tested and proven to work. you might want to note that
Asayo's workers do not show their customers a license or permit for
selling its products from Japan Life, as far as I remember even
though i could possibly be wrong.). thus even though their products
might work for some cases, it doesn't work for all.
willing to part with your money on substandard products? think
again.
you can get more effective ones from other magnetic therapy
companies like DW Group (no i do not work there, i merely met a
salesperson who is eager to challenge claims and misconceptions
pple might have abt magnetic therapy, i spoke with him for about 2
or 3 hours, and he was able to answer my questions on reflexology
and acupuncture, which is being phased out with magnetic therapy.
He was able to point out the lack of evidence or introduction to
magnetic therapy by Asayo workers. I use the word 'worker' rather
than 'employee' because Asayo pays their workers peanuts. If they
really were concerned about customers being healed, they would
market the products in a different way, and not go all out to make
money, from all appearance of how Asayo works that i have
gathered.
to Asayo workers who are defending this company, are you willing to
accept or question the possibility that you have been conned as
well? not alot of people can even begin to consider the possibility
of themselves believing in the half-baked truth.. you might just be
one of them.
