Root Review: Remedies with no retail
Root doesn’t provide any information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
I became aware of the MLM opportunity after CEO Clayton R Thomas reached out to me via email.
On his LinkedIn profile, Thomas cites himself as Root’s Chairman of the Board since July 2019. In marketing videos Thomas discloses he is Root’s Founder.
Why this executive information isn’t provided on Root’s website is unclear.
In addition to Root, Thomas (right) is also the President of Personalized Healthcare Solution, LLC, Unisource Health Inc and DC2.
As per PHS’ website, the company
connects healthcare providers with state-of-the-art diagnostic laboratories performing Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing, Toxicology and Wellness screens, and Molecular Testing.
Unisource Health and DC2 also operate in the medical niche.
As far as I can tell, Root is Clayton Thomas’ first MLM venture as an executive.
Read on for a full review of Root’s MLM business opportunity.
Root’s Products
Root markets a range of supplements they refer to as “remedies”.
- Clean Slate – “uses Zeolite … in a proprietary patent pending formulation, to help wipe your cells clean of the toxins trying to take them over”, retails at $69 for a 1 fl. oz. bottle (30 ml)

Joining Root
Root affiliate membership costs are not disclosed on the company’s website or in their compensation plan.
Root’s Policies and Procedures mention an “Optional Affiliate Product Pack”. Again, details such as costs are not provided.
Conclusion
Root falls into the trap of having everyone sign up as an affiliate, and representing that affiliates who don’t recruit are retail customers.
My first red flag was thrown up when I realized if you try to buy something from Root’s online store, or “want to become part of the story” as an affiliate, you’re redirected to the same registration form.
On that form you have to “consent to the ROOT Rewards Plan” and provide a username. The username is used to generate an affiliate referral link.
When you sign up, you don’t qualify for MLM commissions off the bat – but you do earn a 15% commission on purchases by other retail customers.
With a bit more poking around Root’s Policies and Procedures, I was able to confirm without a doubt that true retail doesn’t exist.
There is only one income-generating activity: the purchase and resale of Root Wellness products and services.
From a compliance perspective, retail customers cannot be part of the compensation plan. They cannot under any circumstances be able to earn any commissions or financial bonuses.
In their respective regulatory lawsuits, both Vemma and Herbalife argued with the FTC that affiliates who haven’t recruited are retail customers.
Vemma’s argument was shot down in court. Herbalife’s FTC settlement forced them to stop representing affiliates who hadn’t recruited were retail customers.
From a regulatory perspective, what affiliates do with purchased products is irrelevant.
Root could make a case if they accounted for every dollar of products purchased by affiliates and resold with verified receipts, but they make no claim of this in their Policies and Procedures.
Should the FTC investigate and launch a case, the outcome would likely be the same as Vemma and Herbalife.
With that in mind, Root’s 55% rule is meaningless. Be it an affiliate purchasing product or affiliates they’ve recruited product, the purchases are still counted as affiliate purchases.
These sorts of rules are supposed to enforce retail customer purchase volume, which as we’ve covered isn’t part of Root’s compensation plan.
Not so much a compliance issue but something I’m going to point out anywhere, is Root’s ridiculous affiliate rank count.
Root having forty-four affiliate ranks is the result of daily pay instead of direct volume-based commission calculation.
Commissions are still based on volume but instead of a raw percentage you have steps. The amount of steps Root have created to ensure they aren’t overpaying on any tier has completely blown out their affiliate ranks.
Again this isn’t a compliance issue but it’s certainly unnecessary bloat.
Moving onto Root’s products, the first thing I noticed is they’re referred to as “remedies”.
ROOT remedies are here to help retrain our bodies to detox, cleanse, focus and relax in more natural, less synthetic ways.
The basic FDA disclaimer when it comes to supplements is:
This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
This disclaimer does appear in the footer of Root’s online strorefront.
The problem is the definition of remedy is “a medicine or treatment for a disease or injury.”
Root have the FDA disclaimer up but at the same time are making the exact claims the disclaimer says they aren’t.
As to the products themselves, you’re basically looking at zeolite, turmeric, pine bark and velvet bean seed supplements.
These ingredients are readily available in supplements so do your homework on what’s available and price-compare.
One final thing to note is if you do manage to resell products, Root’s approach to returns:
We will replace to you the same product when the unused portion of the product along with the signed sales receipt have been received by Root Wellness.
Root Wellness will not refund Affiliates for retail customer returns.
The company will only ever substitute product. Actual refunds aren’t available.
You as a Root affiliate will be required to pay your customer their refund out of your own hip pocket.
All in all Root’s compliance issues are enough to warrant concern. The company is new enough that these issues can be addressed, however not without a compensation overhaul.
If you’re reading this review a few months from publication and nothing’s changed, approach with caution.
This bears no relation to how toxins are eliminated from the body (and if that isn’t happening properly, someone should seek urgent medical attention). But let’s not go into that, it’s the standard “detoxing” guff.
Ingredient list, per the website: zeolite, water, potassium sorbate, ascorbic acid.
Zeolite is a common mineral, useful because of its extremely high porosity and therefore absorbency. It’s used in water filters and detergents (to soften water, as it can absorb a lot of calcium and magnesium), and as an odor absorber in things like cat litter. It’s also used as an additive in high-strength concrete.
Effect on human health when ingested in small quantities: zero. There’s 0.6 gram of it per litre of product – that’s the amount you’re supposed to consume spread out over 1,000 days.
Potassium sorbate, a.k.a. E202, is a widely used food preservative. Amount not specified, so must be tiny.
Ascorbic acid, a.k.a. E300, is usually referred to as Vitamin C. Amount not specified, so must be tiny.
So this is just water, with miniscule amounts of common, and dirt-cheap, chemicals added. The additives cost fractions of pennies per litre. They’re selling it at $2,300/l.
I’d also love to know in which countries you could get a patent on something like that. I assume providing a link to their patent application (if one is pending, it is by definition publicly available) was too much bother.
Rip off Clayton Thomas is a scumbag !!!
Where’s that coming from?
Patent-pending, in these cases, is often a lie and I challenge Clayton Thomas to prove me wrong here.
This company seems to belong to a host of other healthcare and wellness-themed companies connected to Clayton Thomas and Christina Rahm Cook, who seem to be using the same office building address for their bussinesses.
The two also appear in the leadership section of dc2healthcare.com/about-dc2/leadership/
Note that PHS, the company of Clayton Thomas, is registered to
On Christina Rahm Cook’s site drchristinarahmcook.com, Clayton Thomas, in the role of “President” of PHS praises Dr. Christina Rahm Cook, saying
What he doesn’t mention is that his company PHS is registered to her name and office address.
Researching their past reveals they both seem to have been pushing useless health/detox/anti-aging products for years.
Scam alert-o-meter 10/10.
Dr. Christina Rahm Cook’s title aroused my curiosity, and I decided to take a closer look. (Hey, in coronavirus lockdown, we have to make our own entertainment.)
Her LinkedIn page shows an extensive and confusing academic background. It doesn’t help that she lists the same things twice, and in no particular chronological order.
After having put it in order on a timeline, the following picture emerges.
The first two qualifications she claims could be for real, in that they come from a real university, and the timeline is normal. She claims a bachelor’s in “Criminalistics and Criminal Science and Psychology” in 1994, followed by a master’s in “Science, Counseling” in 1996, both from the University of South Alabanma.
If that is truthful, it’s clearly got nothing to do with the products being sold here.
From then on in, it becomes, let’s say, somewhat murky.
First, she claims to have gone on to the University of Sarasota, from 1997 to 2005, earning a doctorate in Counseling Psychology. Based on what else I’ve found, such a degree would be an Ed.D., not a Ph.D. one (let alone an M.D.).
However, there is a slight problem: there no longer was a University of Sarasota to grant such a degree in 2005. It used to exist, as a private school, acquired in 1992 by a company called Argosy Education Group. It began using the name Argosy University for all the various schools it owned in 2001.
Argosy got into serious trouble with the law for misleading students about the value of the degrees it offered, among other things by misrepresenting its Ed.D. in Counseling Psychology certificates, by telling the lie they allowed one to become a licensed psychologist.
This all happened after she got her claimed doctorate in this subject. The company has since collapsed, and all its schools closed.
So, if she has such an Ed.D. in Counseling Psychology from the school that used to be called the University of Sarasota, it would be from Argosy University, and pretty much worthless (as well as unrelated to the products she is now peddling).
Then, she claims to have a second doctorate, this time a proper Ph.D. one, obtained in 2014, in “Strategic Sciences”, a field I have to admit I’d never heard of.
This one, I actually fully believe she got, since it came from something called Charter University. Which turns out to be a proudly unaccredited, online-only diploma mill. I was unable to find a physical address on their website.
Some snippets from that website:
So, she bought a meaningless certificate saying “Ph.D.” from a website. Or perhaps she didn’t even bother to buy one – why would one, it’s not as if these Charter University people are going to sue anyone for falsely claiming to have bought a fake diploma from them, is it?
But her academic achievements didn’t stop there. She lists no less than four qualifications from Harvard University, which on closer inspection turn out to be two things, duplicated:
There is all kinds of wrong going on here.
(1) She doesn’t have the Ph.D. required to do post-doctoral work in any kind of technology.
(2) I don’t know whether that’s meant to be work in Nanotechnology and Bioscience at an Engineering and Medical Department, or work in Nanotechnology at a Bioscience, Engineering and Medical Department, but there is no such department at Harvard by either name.
(3) Harvard Graduate Certificates, while entirely legitimate, are offered by Harvard Extension School, not the University of Harvard as such.
(4) It is completely absurd to think that a Ph.D. engaged in university research would also work on a Graduate Certificate in the same field. They are stand-alone qualifications, for a limited number of courses in one specific subject (3 to 5 course credits).
There are no other educational qualifications required, and there is no application process, just register online and you can start one.
One could imagine someone with a Ph.D. in one field getting one in an entirely different one they’re interested in (say, a research scientist getting one related to computer programming), but not in the same field.
(5) Harvard doesn’t offer any such certificate in anything “Biosciences-Nanotechnology” related, unless one counts a Bioinformatics Certificate, which is an IT/programming course for research biologists, and a Biotechnology Management Certificate, which as the name says is about the management, not the science, aspects of the field.
To end on a funny of hers, her she is explaining what she’s been doing at Harvard:
Multiple dissertations. Wow. One would think someone with two doctorates would know you only need to write one for each Ph.D. degree.
I wish we had one of those special Scam Alert-O-Meters, which go up to 11.
Nice one.
Level 11 has been granted to you!
The title did look fishy on her and I suspected something like that.
On her page she links to some supplement called Rain (myrainlife.com) that seems to be connected to seedsforchangefoundation.org, an alleged aid organisation.
Very curious.
Forgot to add that this review is all about that sentence. LOL!!!
I hope he continues down that path and cold-calls the FDA and FBI on Monday as part of his marketing efforts.
Great research PassingBy.
@PassingBy. Great research.
This is someone who wants to play MD with her Ph.D. And that is a big no-no in any book.
Cook and Thomas and Root were all sued by Rain, Intl. in Salt Lake City, Utah in last few weeks. Public record.
They take highest earning distributers in Rain with them to Root.
Any more details on the lawsuit?
Attached is the RAIN lawsuit and other lawsuits against Clayton Thomas and Christina Cook

Sad to inform you that the Scam has reached quite a few states in Europe. Thank you guys for posting this research.
People here are claiming that these ROOT products are alternative medicine that cures cronical illneses. Take only 2x 10 dropes a day and the nanotechnology causes Zeolit Clinoptilolite to get all the toxins out of your body. This is all PLASIBO.
People please save your money.
I have been approached by a friend who claimed that this is a magical cure and the big Farma can’t know about this because this could kill their business. Plus the company does not post online because they want this to grow organically not be advertised online because farmacy companies are going to shut them down.
Do not fall for things like that please. They don’t want to make too much noise so the don’t get sued for illegal claims that they make. This is a scam.
A friend just sent me links from Central Europe to me here in Ireland. Saying claims that a friend of hers and a couple others had Powerful healing results and for me to take it for my health issues…
They sent me the link and when I went to add to shopping basket I saw that I needed to add an affiliate name … That’s when I did a search into them and found this link…
great read and thank you for taking the time to research… I will definitely not be buying nor will I recommend to anyone!!!
Ok so i’m going for a “level 12” nomination. It would appear that Mr. Thomas has served time for contempt of court and breach of an agreement having been sued over (in effect) the stealing of a formula from a company he got fired from.
“In October 2016 Thomas’ contempt was escalated to a criminal offense. He was subsequently fined $1000 and sentenced to 130 days in jail.”
I think he served literally a few days but i asked their leading distributor in the UK about this and it was confirmed that there is another case ongoing.
WHich is confirmed in the article attached, for the same charges as he has continued to trade using the same products for which he lost his case! If this is so which it looks likely, i can only conclude that he is likely to serve more time.

What is incredible is that nearly everything on this page is a lie, and nobody in these comments has ever taken the products so you wouldn’t know whether they work.
These ROOT products have helped people where conventional medicine has not.
I personally know MS sufferers who struggled to walk any distance and are now able to walk 5k. A guy with severe eczema who has tried numerous Dr prescribed medicines/ointments has just about cleared up his eczema, people with extreme fatigue now have more energy, people with severe tinnitus have minimized the ringing in their ears to the point they feel it is no longer driving them crazy, a mother gave it to her autistic son who she described as having dead eyes and not being responsive – he now is alert and learning a second language…. And so on.
You can try to tear down their company and spread lies about their MLM structure and Dr. Christina Rahm’s qualifications, but the fact is, you are wrong.
It is clear that the above lengthy review is a smear campaign and it’s really sad, especially when it works because all you are doing is taking it away from people who could truly use it.
I can guarantee NOBODY who takes it has ever said to anybody that you have to keep it quiet because of the FDA. That’s absurd.
The product is made with a natural zeolite and is used to remove heavy metals from the body like lead, aluminum, mercury etc which block your body from being able to heal itself.
Once these heavy metals begin to be flushed out, it in turn frees up your body’s natural processes to heal itself. Give it a try.
Rival companies’ products that use synthetic zeolite do not work and are not fit for consumption, so if you want to start pointing fingers, research them, but actually try these products before you attempt to ruin their reputation in a big pharma led world.
It’s the little guys making quality products that always get slandered and destroyed as a result of Trolls and rival companies’ trying to hinder their well deserved successes.
If you want to look at it go here go into the Root brand YouTube page to learn more about it. There are tons of videos and testimonials by real customers.
Get it, don’t get it, I really don’t care, but stop trying to destroy a company that I’ve personally seen help many people when conventional medicine was not doing enough for them.
Oh but you clearly do. The toxic rage is barely contained.
Taking something isn’t a guage of whether it works. Either you have peer-reviewed studies to back up your medical claims or you don’t.
Clearly you don’t, or you’d have provided them. Which makes your medical claims about Root’s products illegal.
Right, and I personally know someone who drank water and turned into a unicorn with a three heads.
Anecdotal stories = meaningless. Peer-reviewed studies or GTFO.
Feel free to point out any inaccuracies regarding Root’s MLM compensation plan. Just because you don’t like accurate analysis of the plan doesn’t make it lies.
Also if you have anything to counter the research in comment #5, feel free to share.
Otherwise all we have here is the typical “no facts buh muh feelings!” nonsense. Reader beware.
Oz, no I really truly don’t care whether you buy it. What I care about is that you go into the YouTube channel and look at the testimonials.
There’s plenty of useful information, but maybe you just want to be right rather than informed.
Social media is not a substitute for peer-reviewed studies. Nor does a social media degree in medicine make you “informed”.
Thank you for confirming you have no peer-reviewed studies pertaining to Root’s products. Have a nice day.
Oz, no Clean Slate has not not peer reviewed. I know plenty of products (Ozedit: snip, see below)
We’ve established your anecdotal medical claims are worthless. If you wish to discuss other products do it somewhere else.
And if you have a problem with unverifiable medical claims being used to market MLM products, take it up with the FTC/FDA.
Not interested, thanks.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but your saying Oz would rather be right than be informed, by his being right he is informed.
Thanks for admitting Oz is right, and you are wrong.
I was strongly considering purchasing these products until I read this review. Thank you
Go to charter.university/. Then type in:
PHD286329020 and you can download the transcript and diploma for Christina Rahm Cook.
Hmm. I see a Doctor of Philosophy (lol?) with ten military themed modules under strategic sciences (major) and information technology (minor).
To be clear I’m not laughing at the Doctor of Philosophy on its own, it’s what Rahm has paired it with that’s amusing.
Also what does any of that have to do with healthcare and wellness?
That’s from their own website. They only offer online classes.
I am yet to determine which is a better fictional form of literature, the article or the comments. I appreciate all of the amazing fake feedback.
Unfortunately whomever completed the review of the ROOT website and rewards model does not understand the process or the model. ROOT only has customers.
Customers who share their username to create other customers are rewarded points for sharing when their referrals become customers.
Additionally, if a customer creates 2 customers and chooses to become an ambassador of The ROOT Brand they can do so for FREE and unlock an unlimited earning channel for the creation of sharing.
My diversity of business background is what allowed me to crate an innovative approach to commence.
We don’t expect everyone to understand what we have created as most didn’t understand Amazon as a mechanism when they started selling books out of a garage.
To question anyone on their education history without actually asking them directly or doing any analysis is the most idiotic thing I have seen.
Surpisingly many weak males want to talk shit about a biotech savant because she is a woman and is doing things that no one else has ever done before and MLM idiots take offense, how sad for you.
MS, PhD, PsyD, EdD, post doc at Harvard and Cornell, adjunct professor at John’s Hopkins in Oncology with history at Pfizer, Alexion, Biogen-Idec, J&J, Janzen, UCB and BMS . . . let’s take a few minutes for those who want to talk trash in print to post their CVs and educational backgrounds to assure we have someone who is actually capable of a retort.
I’ll wait . . . . . . . bitches.
There is an old Chinese proverb: “They despise us because they are not us.”
We apologize for being light years ahead of the rest of the world in our space. (Ozedit: spam removed)
Wow. My first editorial instinct was to mark everything under “creation of sharing” as spam/derails.
Seeing as it’s coming from Root corporate however, I’ll leave it up as an example of one of the worst direct communications from an MLM executive I’ve ever seen.
I did have to remove the spam though. We have standards, Clayton.
First of all, who addresses themselves “the” anything? This is where the wank begins.
Secondly are you really going to pretend you didn’t email in two years ago to already discuss your points re. Root’s MLM compensation plan back in 2020?
Sorry to burst your bubble but Vemma and Herbalife already tried the “our affiliates are retail customers!” crap in court against the FTC. It’s not innovative and it failed.
If you as an MLM company don’t differentiate your retial customers from your affiliates (a free toggle is not a valid differentiator as per the FTC), then you have no retail customers. Everyone is an affiliate participating in the compensation plan.
Affiliates who haven’t qualified for commissions aren’t retail customers.
I’ll leave it up to readers to directly respond to your assumptions about gender and abuse.
I will point out though that there appears to be a lot of reflection going on (the toxicity is oozing, it’s on full display).
And there has been research done into education claims made. You can clearly see it in the comments. Rather than address this you deflected.
As if anyone else’s education history changes charlatans passing themselves off as more than they are.
What are you, twelve? Here’s a proverb for you:
You’re running an MLM company, calm your tits son.
My condolences to anyone in Root that has to deal with The Clayton Thomas in any capacity.
I recently was in Germany and was introduced to Root and what it will do to my body.
I live in Australia and use lots herbs. Before I buy I search what are the benefits, what it is made off.
It took a while to find the information. The result is that the snowball buying is not for me. The price of a bottle is too expensive.
