Organo’s mushroom coffee is being promoted as a cure-all for multiple diseases.

These include cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and “most chronic diseases”.

I’ve seen multiple instances but the specific marketing example I’m going to reference is from Bio Holistix Health & Wellness.

Bio Holistix Health & Wellness is run by Mariza Wepener (right) out of South Africa.

On April 6th Bio Holistix Health & Wellness posted an Organo marketing pitch on FaceBook:

The two slides look official and are Organo branded, but it’s unclear whether Organo put them together.

Either way, none of Organo’s products are registered as drugs in the US or South Africa. There are also no peer-reviewed studies supporting any of the cited Organo product medical claims.

Organo (formerly Organo Gold) is a US MLM company. As per US law (the FTC and FD&C Acts), unsubstantiated medical claims pertaining to supplements are illegal.

Both the FTC and FDA have in the past held MLM companies liable for illegal medical claims made by their distributors.
