I am in accord with your take on over aggressive marketing although I am heartily in favor of profit and that comes from honest business dealings which from all I can see is what LSC practices.
The influence is strong because the usa is In fact an over-aggressive country which is how it began and how it continues to this day. But that's another story which I would love to discuss (or debate) in more detail but it is out of the realm of this Forum.
Like I said, this is a hodgepodge and more tedious and even involved than this kind of information needs to be.
You are welcome to contact me personally and I will offer a recommendation for something that is far less costly, like about three per cent of what this costs. There is just no need to spend thousands or even hundreds of dollars for this kind of material.
I have been on this journey for many years and there are basic truths that have worked and that do work, but what I stumbled on (came to me as a git from the Universe) recently has put everything into perspective. I experienced that "Eureka" and everything is falling into place.
