Re: OT: Transparency - Making Money from Autism

[Guest guest]

Hi Mandi,

Just read this ridiculous accusation, so sorry to hear that people are thinking these kind of things from you...they should be ashamed !!

I never met you before, I never spoke you before (except from emails) but I always judge people by things I read between the lines of words they are sending me and other people.

I am not an easy-going person and I am very skeptical towards strange persons concerning money issues and I completely understand that other persons are the same way. But I instantly trusted you, don't know why, can' t pinpoint it, just my gut feeling tells me this and I seldom make a mistake in judging people.

Please keep doing what you are doing, you are a great for providing us with supplements which would otherwise cost us a lot more !!! I once ordered in the US, had to pay extra taxes and customs and it took almost 2 months before I got them, never again !!!

Big hug !

Dear MandiHold your head up high ...... you are an inspiration in what you do and how many people you help! Plus what a star Sam is!Kate

Funny how the most generous spirited and dedicated people tend to have their good nature taken advantage of by some folk - i'm sure it must be very hurtful to have been accused. Am relatively new to bio-med but find this list really informative - especially with input from mums like you Mandi who have so much experience, hope this wont curb any further input from you.

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.

Hi Mandi

I just wanted to add my voice of support to the others. You

have been immensely generous with your time, expertise and samples to us. Thank

you so much for all your support! I hope you aren’t feeling too upset by

the accusation. It is a lone voice and the overwhelming support of you on this

list is many¬We too think you do a fantastic and selfless job so please take

all our comments to heart instead.

Dear Mandi,

Had not yet read this thread, but I'm so shocked and can't believe this. If I've ever met a supportive, caring, helpful, generous and honest person it is you. You are always here for all of us and go out of your way in helping everyone and MM is the most efficient, competitive service I've ever come across. This person whose made these claims should be totally ashamed of themselves as they likely have a hidden agenda. I join everyone here in supporting you

I've just read this post and am really peed off about this post

Mandi. I speak only for myself, but I totally support you with what

you provide for us. I always check your site out first before looking

anywhere else as you are 1. a small supplier, 2. a mum 3. usually

cheaper than anyone else. I do hope that whoever accused you of such

heresy has realized that you are highly regarded and supported. Idiot!

Best, Tonia xxx
