UPDATE: We're fighting back against FreeLife's Smear Letter (see below).
Secrets They Don't Want Us to Tell You

Here's the letter FreeLife is sending out to people since
breathe.org was launched on September 25, 2007:
FreeLife's letter continues with other points that we discuss on other pages of this site.

All done reading? Then here we go: First of all, please understand that we are not being sued by Walt Disney, American Heart Association, Bank of America, Amazon.com, Yahoo, etc. This is a most offensive thing for us to read. We are also not involved in any lawsuits with individual celebrities - or by the University of Nevada. A lot of different people must have provoked all those lawsuits!
FreeLife falsely implies that we have any connection whatsoever with "deceiving college students into obtaining college loans, online college degrees, college text books," etc. This is so patently outrageous to us that we have no words to adequately express ourselves. The truth is, we work as volunteers to educate the public. We are not being sued by ANY of these entities, and FreeLife of course knows that darned well. So how does FreeLife have the audacity to say these things, you might ask? We'll now explain the facts behind FreeLife's feeble attempts to weave such tall tales against us:
We are not "Whois Privacy Protection Agency," the agency involved with all the above lawsuits. And Whois Privacy does not own our site here at breathe.org, as FreeLife's Smear Letter would suggest. Furthermore, Whois Privacy is not guilty of any crimes either, as FreeLife's letter deceptively suggests! Here's the reality about Whois Privacy Agency: Whois Privacy is actually affiliated with enom.com (the world's second largest domain registrar). Whois Privacy helps you protect your personal information when you own a web site domain. It works like your telephone directory: When you get a telephone number, your name and number are automatically included in the phone book, right? But for a few dollars a year, you can pay to have your number unlisted. Do you know anyone with a nonpublished telephone number? Probably. Many people don't want to get sales calls, and they don't want their personal information public, either. There certainly isn't anything sinister about that. Whois Privacy does the same thing for you with internet domain names. When you get a web domain name, your personal name, address, and telephone number are automatically listed on the internet "in the directory" for all the world to view. People often feel uncomfortable about that. But for a few dollars a year (enom.com price is $6/year), Whois Privacy will "unlist" your personal information - so that no one can bother you with spam, junk mail, sales calls, or invade your privacy. More and more people are wisely having their domain information unlisted for many good reasons. For more info on Whois Privacy, see enom.com.
Every Whois Privacy company gets entangled in lawsuits from time to time - in the same way that phone companies do. For example: if someone is using a phone to commit a crime, authorities may need to retrieve an unpublished telephone number. That's how the phone company can become entangled in the lawsuit. This doesn't mean that the phone company is doing anything wrong! In the same way, if someone is doing a crime on the internet, authorities might have to involve Whois Privacy to get info on the web site owner. This doesn't mean Whois Privacy is doing anything wrong! Are you starting to understand how crafty FreeLife is when they send out a letter like this?
Check out how FreeLife rants on and on to dramatically build up a case in your mind that we have something to do with lawsuits involving Whois Privacy Agency. Perhaps FreeLife should direct its ridiculous rant towards many FreeLife goji juice sites who are also protected by whois privacy companies, for example the following: theonlygoji.com: protected by RegTek Whois Envoy and the list goes on and on... (To check any of these sites, go to betterwhois.com (or any domain name registrar), and do a "Whois" search on the domain name)
Now that you see how "Whois Privacy" works, please go back and reread that big yellow paragraph in their Smear Letter to see how FreeLife very cunningly paints an unspeakable picture of us at breathe.org. We hope that health conscious consumers everywhere will feel as outraged as we feel at FreeLife's unconscionable tactics.
As you can also read in the above letter, FreeLife likes to quote fancy credentials about goji in magazines and on TV shows. But remember, this does not mean that FreeLife Goji Juice was actually featured or even mentioned at all. The truth is, the media often talks about the goji berry itself, not the juice. (Remember: Bottled juice does not retain all the nutritional components of either the fresh or sun-dried berry. See CBC Video for their testing of Himalayan Goji Juice nutritional values.) A case in point is a recent Oprah show. FreeLife loves to brag about it. But Himalayan Goji Juice was never mentioned on that show. Everyone seems to want a piece of Oprah. In fact, the phrase "As seen on Oprah" is such an overused endorsement that SubscriberMail.com says it will actually block an email as spam in many email programs. FreeLife is quick to use Oprah to its advantage when it suits them. But they are not always so complimentary:

Transcription:
The next time FreeLife tells you that breathe.org has any connection with lawsuits from Walt Disney, or "deceiving college students into obtaining loans," or any other fanciful claims, we hope you will contact us and let us know. We'll thank you for checking out the other side of the story.
At least there is something in the above letter that we can totally agree on with FreeLife. It is the last statement on that page:
Well said!
