The involved the mark buying a product to sell. The person at the top gets the money, the people below end up in debt. They end up having to pull more people into the scheme to get out of it.

Chelsea does a round up of two MLMs, Young Living and Jilly Juice. They both jump onto the health cult band wagon and sell miracle cures. They differ in the nature of these cures.

The company follows the "cleanse" path of cures, and tells customers to purge "toxins" from their bodies.
