This is outrageous! Mandi, I can say that besides being the most efficient and honest supplier you have been such a great friend to everyone here. Your advice is priceless.I am deeply hurt that these people have made these allegations.We've got your back.ZahraSent from my iPhone

Hi Troops

I have been accused (off list) of being here so I can make money from members. My accuser said she is not the only one that thinks this and many folks have noticed this also???

The accusation is hurtful and absurd but I just wanted to let everybody know you are welcome to see my accounts, I have never made more than 2% profit and have just worked out this means I work for less than 2p per hour. This is NOT because I am bad at business, its because I set out to provide a service not make money, it takes quite a lot of skill to come out at near break even point

I never advertise on list and was here a long time before I started the business

Anyways offer is always there if anybody has concerns

What a load of shit

ignore ignore ignore

You are the one company that i know will get my stuff to me when i accidently

run out.

You make jack, and i know that from coming to your house

Hope the person f**ks off and starts paying over the odds elsewhere.

Maybe that person is bitter about something else and throwing all their anger at

you and backing it up with the " i am not the only person who thinks this "

statement.

Everyone on here knows thats a crock of shit

Well said Nicola, i am fuming and gobsmacked, which for anyone who knows me, knows this never happens but im so shocked to the core by this cutting remark, i would like to say to that person, you try getting supplements at that cost and that good service anywhere else, it just is not possible!

There are some nasty people out there, ignore them Mandi.

Your nasty accuser is hiding their groundless claims behind anonymity

because they know the wave of loyal support such claims would create from an

army of grateful parents that have benefited from your priceless, yet free,

wisdom and support.

I’m willing to bet they don’t enjoy that same warm

respect in their life! Your integrity is beyond question. Shame on your

accuser.

Ps – Bloody well done Sam at school too!

Dear Mandi,

I find this accusation quite ridiculous. I am sure I shall be joined by many

long-time members in saying that you are generous to a fault with your time and

sharing your knowledge and an inspiration to us.

Mandi this is dreadful. I haven't been around as long as some people on this

list, but, I know how helpful you are to anyone new to the list asking for

advice - all freely given and with the years of biomed experience behind you

that you have.

You deserve to make a decent living (if you can) out of the business you have

set up - no small feat in itself, nevermind having an autistic child to care for

as well.

How low can you stoop?? This person either has no idea of the enormous contribution you've made to the biomed community, or is deliberately trying to undermine you, for some unfathomable reason. You must have helped so many parents over the years, while caring for your own son at the same time. What you've achieved is amazing - you deserve a medal, not brickbats!Ignore it, Mandi, everyone who knows anything about you knows it's complete nonsense.Joanne>> Hi Troops> > I have been accused (off list) of being here so I can make money from > members.

[Guest guest]

Mandi, I have known you since the beginning when we were at the Autism Unravelled conference and way before Mandimart! Thank god for Mandimart, it was a bloody nightmare trying to get the supplements.. I agree with what everyone has said, you always go the extra mile for everyone and we certainly will never forget all your help over Christmas when Sam was so ill and no-one around to help who knew anything apart from you! The person who said this sounds very nasty and unpleasant and I sincerely hope that their next shit is a hedgehog Di xx

I have always found you to be a very kind and helpful person, not just to those

on this and other lists but also to me personally and certainly not the type of

person who would do all this through motivation of personal profit, having said

that I personally would'nt begrudge you some profit from the hard work you put

in.

hi Mandi

they obviously needed a sounding board and decided to pick on you, what utter

to instill in them that what they have said is hurtful and down right lies,

Dear mandi,

I have not been posting on this site long but it is obvious that you spend a

great deal of time offering help to everyone. If you make a little money from

your business and are therefore able to help your child more while at the same

time helping us I admire you. I have used MandiMart many times. Your prices

are reasonable and your service is the best I have come across. Ignor the

adverse comments. Just keep doing what your doing. Best wishes, . X

[Guest guest]

Mandy I totally agree with all the supporting comments - glad you posted though-

hope you feel better knowing that the majority of people are soo grateful for

your help/advise. I would not have a problem if you were making more profit -

you provide an excellent service and deserve to make a living for yourself.

Please keep up your good work. Sue

That must be upsetting Mandi, especially because you help so many people. But I

have to say you have a business and kids to support as a single parent, you

really should make more than 2%. I do think that there is a lot of people who

make money on autism but you are not one of them. Hugs

Mandi,

I haven't posted here in a long time or checked in, but I can't believe this is

the first thread I see today. You have been a huge help to us and without your

advice my son would still be waking up screaming in pain for hours every night.

You saved me from going insane. Stick in there.

Mandi,

You have been a source of support and information for so many of us. Just to

sort out the supplement routines and get good quality ones takes sooooo much

time. I only do it for one child and don't have customs to deal with!!! The

'autism realm' would be in horrible shape without folks like you. I would like

to know WHO is leveling such gossip. Refer the w---- to early days of aut-merc.

I want to say something really supportive and profound, but I cant stop laughing

about shitting a hedgehog - nice one Di!

I'm glad you shared this - you dont need to prove yourself to anyone chook. I'm

guessing someone was feeling frustrated about how much biomed costs in general

and just projected it onto you.

I've never known anyone as generous, supportive and innovative in all my life -

your truth and integrity has never been doubted for a second, and I am always

humbled by how you demonstrate your care for so many of us,in so many little and

large ways. If anything, you are too good to us!

Mandi,I would hope that you made a very good living helping people! Wouldn't it be wonderful if helping people were as attractive or lucrative a job as one could find? Think of all the people who could follow their heart and still support their families. Even scripture is behind you, "You must not muzzle an ox while it is treading out grain," and "A worker deserves his pay." Dr. Bernard Rimland, the grandfather of autism bio-med intervention once told me, "Right now there is a fantastic opportunity for people to do very well by doing good." There

is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Subject: Re: OT: Transparency - Making Money from AutismTo: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Date: Thursday, July 21, 2011, 7:04 AM

Mandi - you provide a fantastic service and have helped us out at the 11th hour many times over the years and really put yourself out for us - it is very much appreciated, as you are you, take no notice of this bilge.
