Multilevel
Marketers - EcoQuest
Founded in
2000, EcoQuest
International
is a Christ-centered company with a global mission to bring clean air,
pure water, and alternative energy to families everywhere. EcoQuest
began as a spin-off the successes of a 16-year old marketing
/manufacturing giant. It all started with a company called Alpine
Technologies, Formerly Alpine Industries. EcoQuest detached from Alpine
in January 2000. EcoQuest International holds the exclusive marketing
rights for products from Alpine Technologies. My sources tell me that
Alpine has on several occasions been ordered by the courts to stop
making unsubstantiated claims about its products.
EcoQuest
International still holds the exclusive marketing
rights for products
from Alpine Technologies, the world's largest manufacturer of air and
water purification systems. While both companies have been
headquartered
in Greeneville, TN since 1996, William Converse founded Alpine in 1986
and, under his proprietary and quality control, more than four million
systems have been sold worldwide. Converse has a foundation in science,
and as an industry leader carries a strong desire for improved
environmental quality, as well as a commitment to the continued success
of the company's Home Office employees and EcoQuest's 150,000 dealers
around the world.
EcoQuest
International detached from Alpine in January 2000 to
focus on research and development for water and air purification
technology, as well as an expansion of it's product base.
Both Alpine and
EcoQuest continue to receive global
recognition. According to my sources, Ecoquest has been featured in
Success
Magazine and in
1998, the Inc. 500 ranked them as the 84th fastest growing
company in the nation. "EcoQuest's Infinity2 line of nutritionals hit a
homerun at the 2001 World Series" with players from both the New York
Yankees and the Arizona Diamondbacks purchasing and using the Infinity2
products because of their enhanced energy levels, endurance, and
performance.
Another
testimony to the power of this nutritional line comes
from the
Minister of Health in Russia (the equivalent of the United States
Surgeon General) who selected Infinity2's LifeForce Super Antioxidant
for the children of Chernobyl, due to it's superior ability to fight
free radicals.
In addition,
Master Handymen across the country are stamping
their
approval on Alpine's Living Air(TM) and Living Water(TM) purifiers. The
Handyman Club of America's national panel of professional
do-it-yourselfers highly recommends Alpine's technologically advanced
systems, sold exclusively to homeowners by EcoQuest International.
EcoQuest and
Alpine's market dominance has allowed them to do
great
things in their community, and abroad. Most recently they were given
the
opportunity to help the Pentagon with more than $6,000 in donations of
air purification systems following the events of September 11 because
of
their scientifically proven ability to eliminate smoke and odors.
Additionally, in a joint effort with EcoQuest's network of
businesspeople, the companies donated over 200 air purification units,
one to every fire station in New York City.
I am concerned
about the pure air machines sold by Ecoquest,
designed to make your air cleaner. I'm concerned because I've been told
that the machines emit ozone and that ozone can make people feel sick.
There's a $35
Annual Dealer Fee to be a distributor for
Ecoquest.
Ecoquest is
also heavy into the water purification business.
One
of their products is called "LIVING WATER" and they claim it's the
healthiest water
purification system ever developed. They say It goes beyond
conventional filtration
and reverse osmosis, employing ozone and ultraviolet light to
actually destroy and remove microorganisms.
Their other
major product is called "WIND TREE" and it's a
residential
or commercial roof
mounted horizontal wind energy system that can provide
most if not a
surplus of the electrical energy needs for the normal
home with only a
3mph breeze. All power companies are required to pay
the consumer a
rebate for all extra energy! It will cost about
one-third what the
normal windmill costs today. They say their goal is this: No power
bills
and a monthly
check from power companies.
This is not
the first time
EcoQuest (formerly known as Alpine Industries) has been
on the
cutting-edge of breakthrough innovation.
Alpine Founder
Bill Converse is the inventor of the
“ion and ozone”
indoor air purification system. Mr. Converse started
working on this
technology in his bedroom and in less than two decades
his company has
sold over 4 million units. This is the only time in
network marketing
history that an MLM company has invented a major
product, much less
dominated an industry. We out sell the number 2 & 3
competitors
combined. Bill Converse’s futuristic and innovative
thinking
single-handedly pioneered the industry.
Wind Tree sends
it's generated power right to the existing
home's/business's Electrical Panel, and will mix with the existing
Electric Company's power being supplied if needed on a low wind
Now for the bad
news. It's shocking, but Alpine, aka, Ecoquest
was actually sued by the FTC.
My sources tell
me Alpine Industries, aka Ecoquest, was
unanimously found guilty by a federal
jury of "865 unsubstantiated claims, including specific health-benefit
claims" Here is the FTC doc:
Court-entered civil penalty judgment:
On April 5,
2001, following a bench trial to determine civil
penalties
and equitable relief, the Federal District Court in Tennessee entered a
civil penalty judgment for $1.49 million plus interest and costs
against
Alpine Industries and its principal, William J. Converse, the
manufacturer and marketer of ozone-generating indoor "air cleaner"
devices. The judgment followed a finding by a federal jury in
Greeneville, Tennessee that Alpine and Converse made numerous claims
and
representations that violated the FTC's 1995 administrative order
prohibiting unsubstantiated claims for Alpine's ozone-generating air
treatment devices.
(FTC File Nos.
C-3614; X980005; Civil Action No. 2:97 CV
509 (E.D. Tenn.); staff contacts are Elena Paoli, 202-326-2974 or James
Reilly Dolan, 202-326-3292; see press releases dated June 9, 1995;
January 5, 1998; January 18, 2000; and April 18, 2000.)"
