WMI pushes back ‘PURE’ product line to September 2011
Late last year it was announced that Wealth Masters International were planning to branch out into nutrition, insurance and finance.
WMI Health and Nutrition was supposed to provide WMI members with affiliate opportunities to market ‘the world’s most advanced anti-aging technologies’ and slated for a first quarter launch in 2011.
Since last November however, nothing has been officially announced by Wealth Masters leaving me wondering what had happened to their plans.
With the deadline for a first quarter launch just days away however, at WMI’s recent Peurto Rico M2 conference, an announcement was made outlining the Wealth Master’s roadmap for ‘PURE’.
Wealth Masters International’s ‘PURE’ (ok enough with the caps) will not be launched in the first quarter and has been officially delayed until September later this year.
The specific reasons for the delay are unknown but the official canned PR response is that ‘our number one priority is getting it right, not a rush to market‘.
Additionally it’s been revealed that Pure will revolve around ‘nine wellness divisions’ and will be run by ‘longtime WMI alliance partner Deanna Latson‘.
Deanna Latson runs gotohealth.com and has been publicly speaking on ‘health and wellness education’ since 1997. She’s certainly done the MLM rounds having spoken at Liberty League International (now Polaris Global), Lifepath Unlimited and of course Wealth Masters International conferences.
Whilst no specific details have been made public about the specific products that Pure will be selling, a preview of what’s to come might be gleaned from Latson’s own online store.
From the looks of it Pure is going to be retailing a whole bunch of naturopath related health and wellness products, which I guess isn’t really all that surprising seeing as Latson is ‘currently finishing her Naturopathic Doctor Degree‘.
When announced I pondered that the introduction of both Pure and Opes partners would steer Wealth Masters away from their traditional model of providing education to their members and requiring them to seek out their own affiliate opportunities.
This is of particular note seeing as though the announcement to branch out into nutrition came a month after the Norwegian Gaming Board declared Wealth Masters International to be a pyramid scheme.
At the time of the announcement of Pure, WMI were well aware that they were being investigated (infact they themselves asked the Gaming Board for an investigation into the company).
Following the recent final ruling of the Norwegian Gaming Board that WMI is still a pyramid scheme and overturning of WMI’s appeal, WMI has now seemingly abandoned their interests in Norway. One possibly reason for the delay of Pure (and I’m just thinking out loud here), could be that with no other regulatory action pending, there’s now no rush to legitimise Wealth Masters by introducing tangible products into their business model.
Again, I’m just thinking out loud here but it does neatly explain the lack of communication regarding Pure right up until the few weeks of April and why the project has now been delayed.
Meanwhile, no new news on WMI’s other pet finance and insurance project, Opes Partners.
Opes Partners was supposed to kick off in January 2011 and be ‘the future of wall street‘ but other than a Facebook page detailing some WMI events, nothing much seems to be happening.
Perhaps WMI realised the future of wallstreet is more complex than first thought.
Hello Behind MLM,
Thank you for your thoughtful note here. I’d be happy to answer any and all of your questions regarding PURE. The launch delay is 100% my responsibility as I am putting together the scientific board of advisors and it is taking much longer than anticipated. Most of the advisors are MD’s and it takes a lot of time and negotiation.
This launch has nothing to do with WMI and their Norway business but that’s a fun theory. WMI has been asking me to head up a health division for several years now and until just recently I was unable to devote the time to it.
None of the products on my personal page have anything to do with PURE or the direction of the company. I will not be the expert in PURE. I will simply be running the company and overseeing the board and product development.
Currently we have contracted with a Renowned Dentist in the holistic area of dentistry to run PURE Dental. We have also contracted with one of the top 5 fitness trainers in the United States to run PURE Fitness. I just secured a chemist from Canada to oversee PURE Beauty (personal care products). We have also secured a wonderful Psychiatrist to run PURE Mind. Finally I secured the most remarkable John Hopkins trained Doctor to oversee the PURE Supplements. This Dr. is one of the most remarkable people I have ever met in my entire 16 year career in natural health.
We are currently looking for a Veterinarian to run PURE Pets and a Chemists to run PURE Environment. If you have any suggestions please send them my way 🙂
We will be profiling all the experts on the web site soon so sit tight for that. Unfortunately everything takes so much longer than expected. Trust me I am frustrated! I like the caps of PURE that was our designers idea and it looks good on our logo. Maybe you’ll like it too when you see it.
You are correct that I have spoken for LLI, LPU and WMI. I have also spoken to over 450 colleges and Universities and many of the fortune 500 companies.
Would you like to try a few of our products for free when they are ready to ship? I’d be happy to send you some.
Have a fantastic day and thank you for allowing a forum for people to communicate.

Thanks for contributing the to discussion Deanna, it’s not often we get owners of businesses being so upfront about what’s going on.
Given your background in naturopathics, you obviously have control over the direction of the company no? I mean you’re the one hand selecting the ‘scientific board of advisors‘.
Does this mean that PURE will be offering solely naturopathic products or their more widely accepted pharmaceutical counterparts?
No worries, sounds like an interesting and well thought out concept. Naturally my interest will be in the financial side of things, specifically the compensation plan and how it integrates into PURE and your products.
Any ideas when that will be made public?
September is still a while away so for now you’re probably best just concentrating on meeting that deadline. I’m not really in the habit of using supplements so I’m probably not your target market demographic, but thanks for the offer.
Having said that, the ‘pet line’ does have me a little intrigued.
Cheers, and as an aside, perhaps you could ask the powers that be for an official public statement regarding WMI in Norway. I know it’s not something you’re personally involved in but being shut down is something that’s invariably going to dog Wealth Masters until they publicly acknowledge it.
WMI had no problems announcing the CCPRO split so I don’t see why they’ve publicly completely ignored recent events in Norway. It’d be great to get an official statement from the company.
Hello Again,
I am happy to contribute to the discussion.
We will be selling products solely in the natural realm. No pharmaceutical type products will be a part of PURE.
I am not handling the compensation plan. I am leaving that part of the business to the experts. I will say this however, it is my utmost desire to ensure not only remarkable education and products but a solid easy to understand business as well.
As soon as we nail down the prices on the products we will announce the compensation plan. I’d like to say that our plan will be avaliable tomorrow but these things take so much time.
You will LOVE PURE Pets. I am working really hard to secure the most remarkable Vet ever. Completely holistic, non- toxic pet education and products. We even have a pet breath spray!
I’ll put a good word in for you at WMI 🙂
Feel free to ask me any questions any time.
Have a fantastic Day!
Deanna comes across as a nice sincere person, so why get involved with some dodgy characters at WMI?
Ms. Latson appears to have been properly trained in health and nutrition, at least according to her website. 🙂 She’s also a pretty good lecturer, according to National Society of Leadership and Success. 😀
The products I am going to guess would be legitimate. It’s WMI’s reputation that will be a big drag on the products, IMHO.
I wonder how Ms. Latson will manage to maintain a semblance of integrity considering some of the sharks coming into WMI such as Rush, Braxton, Hamburger and the Lavenias.
I see what you mean …
Most people would use a more credible source than NSLS or “Sigma Alpha Pi” to recommend their work, but it sure looks impressive until you google it. At least it was a cheap investment, only $75 for a lifetime membership.
If someone is interested, I can offer you a membership in AEHG, “Association of Extremely Handsome Guys”, for a minor fee.
Hey, hey people lets not get crazy here. 🙂
I will not defend my credentials on this blog nor defend my ability to maintain a “semblance” of integrity.
The National Society of Success and Leadership is an incredible organization that is run by one of the most heart centered human beings I have ever met. Please do not put something down you know nothing about.
Feel free to judge the products of PURE when they become avaliable. I’m going to refrain from posting here any more unless the conversation is constructive. I am happy to be avaliable for comments and questions but only in a constructive manner.
Best to you all,
Deanna
It will be interesting to see what supplements are going to be marketed considering that most healthy adults living in developed countries do not require dietary supplementation.
The market is currently saturated with supplements which end up secreted by the body as unneeded, but which make a tidy profit for the marketers.
Oh, please, don’t start on that. Last time we did that discussion we end up trading two dozen barbs, charging each other as barbarians. 😀
(Not you, Boris… that other guy who shall remain unnamed)
Deanna, my concern is not your products which Im sure will sell well, its the snakes that are involved with WMI. I can see it ending in tears.
