In this episode, we delve into the tragic story of Alene Schrader, who suffered fatal medical neglect at the hands of her granddaughter, Kandise Sheahen, a registered nurse involved in the MLM Q Sciences.&nbsp;Our conversation with Alene's grandson, Jon Schrader and his wife Francesa, explores the dangers of MLM products as healthcare, the risks associated with trusting unqualified individuals in financially motivated medical situations, and the subsequent legal proceedings following Nana's death from ketoacidosis. This story is the worst case scenario of everything we have learned this year about the monetized health and wellness space, and should be listened to with caution.Show Notes<a href="https://www.chick.com/products/tract?stk=1010" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chick Tract of the Week! : The Little Ghost</a>Connect with Francesca : <a href="https://www.instagram.com/frescabee/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://disability-memorial.org/82-year-old-woman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alene Schrader Memorial</a><a href="https://thenightly.com.au/world/wisconsin-nurse-who-sells-supplements-online-jailed-after-replacing-grandmothers-insulin-with-prayers--c-19843427" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wisconsin nurse who sells supplements online jailed after replacing grandmother’s insulin with prayers</a><a href="https://wausaupilotandreview.com/2022/06/18/wausau-nurse-charged-in-grandmothers-death/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wausau Nurse Charged in Grandmother’s Death</a><a href="https://www.newsbreak.com/law-crime-520571/4202069879483-i-don-t-believe-in-insulin-80-year-old-grandma-dies-after-granddaughter-swaps-diabetes-medication-for-supplements-and-prayers-gets-slap-on-wrist-from-judge" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">'I don't believe in insulin': 80-year-old grandma dies after granddaughter swaps diabetes medication for supplements and 'prayers'</a><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15044669/wisconsin-granddaughter-light-sentence-switching-grandma-diabetes-medication.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Granddaughter gets VERY light sentence after switching diabetic grandma's insulin for prayers and letting her die</a><a href="https://outofmlm.info/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Out of MLM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The BITE Model⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://amzn.to/3PDeIvA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LAMLM Book Club⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://amzn.to/45cx8t9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MLM Dupes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>How can you help?<a href="https://mlmchange.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MLM Change⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Report Fraud⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://www.truthinadvertising.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Truth in Advertising⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://www.naag.org/find-my-ag/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Report to your state Attorney General's office!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://www.ftc.gov/policy/international/competition-consumer-protection-agencies-worldwide" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Not in the U.S.?
