Growth of Health & Wellness Channel


 The Direct Selling Association (DSA) released its Growth and Outlook Survey results for 2020 showing a record level of growth for the channel in one of the most economically challenging years in U.S. history. 

Despite the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 and the subsequent shutdowns that ended the longest period of U.S. economic expansion on record, the DSA reported channel growth of 13.9 percent over the previous year, reaching a record $40.1 billion in 2020 retail sales. This is quadruple the growth of U.S. retail sales overall, which the U.S. Department of Commerce reported was 3.4 percent for 2020.

DSA President Joseph N. Mariano credits the adaptability and innovation of direct selling companies for the channel’s success during the worldwide economic downturn.

“The direct selling companies adapted quickly to a world with changing needs by empowering their independent sellers with the tools to serve their customers and fellow sellers—innovative technology, updated health and safety policies, and second-to-none business support. During this time of uncertainty, Direct Selling Association and its members also worked to ensure that customers and salespeople alike can rely upon the highest level of business ethics.

There's a war against truth... and if we don't win it, intellectual freedom will be a casualty.


There's a war against truth... and if we don't win it, intellectual freedom will be a casualty.


The West’s commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism has never been more seriously threatened than it is today by the stifling forces of political correctness.

Dr. Gad Saad, the host of the popular YouTube show THE SAAD TRUTH, exposes the bad ideas—what he calls “idea pathogens”—that are killing common sense and rational debate. Incubated in our universities and spread through the tyranny of political correctness, these ideas are endangering our most basic freedoms—including freedom of thought and speech.

The danger is grave, but as Dr. Saad shows, politically correct dogma is riddled with logical fallacies. We have powerful
weapons to fight back with—if we have the courage to use them.

A provocative guide to defending reason and intellectual freedom and a battle cry for the preservation of our fundamental rights, The Parasitic Mind will be the most controversial and talked-about book of the year.
