Just simply sell my products as straight mail order?

I read your very well written article on MLM and agree for the most part with what you're saying. These are the same reasons I don't like MLM.

So, I'm being devil's advocate here. I really don't need to tell anyone it's MLM unless they ask. Sure, I won't get the residual income from building a downline, which is really not my motive anyway; instead I want to educate people on ways to maintain good health by using the products.

Having expeienced the death of a spouse at a very young age, I've always had this compulsion to help people fight disease. I know there won't be big bucks for me in this venture, if I go the route that I'm suggesting.

So, I'm asking for your expert advice. Do you feel this model can be marketed as straight mail order or am I dreaming?

Thanks.
