If you believe that, that's fine. I tend to not believe criminals and their accomplices, esp. ones who hide their monies and offer no transparency. YMMV. Could you please point me to their non-profit accountability provisions and WHOM they issue their grants to? What country are they incorporated in? Looking at the latest IRS listing, I found a number of faux TMO "Non-profit" shelters, but sadly none for Maharishi Ayurveda Products International. I'm sure this must be a mistake of some kind. > > And, since the latest bottle of MAK on my shelf has the pictures > still on it, its > downright false, to boot. Great. So they still use the man's likeness whose formulas they stole. Another is dead. How noble. Don't see their pictures on the web site bottles. Are they hidden on the back?
