How A False Accusation Can Lead To Being Unjustly Cut Off From Facebook: Why I’m so sad…


🙁 When FB pulls all your posts and ads because of someone reporting your sincere efforts to help people with a legitimate program as fraudulent, that makes me very sad 🙁

I felt the sting of this today as it happened to me.

My accuser had only to read my posts, visit my sites, to know that every word of what I’ve posted, I’ve lived, and is true.

So what happened ?

I had been working through the night again and into the day on my Dementia/Alzheimer’s – Think Again site and this one.

Around 3:30 p.m., I decided to call it quits and finally go to bed.

When I finally got up, some 6 hours later, I went to check my FB account for likes to my running ads, when all of a sudden, they all disappeared and I was locked out of my page.

What in the world was happening ?

And then I start seeing that my ads and my posts were gone, with the messages that “this type of post went against FB policies” and that they were being pulled.

The only problem is that I hadn’t done anything to go against FB policy.

No spamming.

No lies or false claims.

Nothing hateful or defamitory language.

So why were my ads, which had been previously approved, now being pulled ?

Had somebody reported them as spam ?

Yes, I had one man who complained to me, but as I explained, it wasn’t me that picked his page for my ad to appear on, it was Facebook.

So how could that be ?

Fraudulant ?

Not a single word of what I’ve shared has been fabricated.

Everything I’ve shared has been lived.

My Mom didn’t recover her memory because of what the doctors were doing.

Otherwise that Dementia/Alzheimer’s unit would’ve been empty.

But my Mom was the only person, in the entire 6 weeks of her stay, to walk out of there with her memory restored.

And walk out she did. From bedridden and confused, to clear minded and ready to tackle life again.

That firey little spit-fire of a woman got her spunky little tuchus up,

  • dressed herself !!
  • washed herself !!
  • could read again !!
  • write again !!
  • tell time again !!
  • recognize people again BY NAME no less !!
  • walk again without stumbling or shuffling OR FALLING !!
  • go to the bathroom on her own again—oh, this one was HUGE…for anyone who’s been wiping poop off of their LO’s bum AND cleaning their diapers, this is such a BLESSING…OMG OMG…—and not have to be in a diaper anymore…huge……

Yes, all of this again because of what I know and did for her even while she was in the hospital.

And then I repeated what I did for my 99 yr old grandmother—

  • kept her memory clear,
  • kept her engaged in life (she was always interested in what was going on around her),
  • got her painfully swollen legs back to normal,
  • the fluid out of her lungs
  • AND her pretty eyes smiling again…

So, am I confident about what I know ?

You better believe I am.

Can I do it again ?

Yes, and the reason is because I truly understand the underlying causes of Dementia/Alzheimer’s.

Do I understand the hell of Dementia/Alzheimer’s ?

  • With my own Mom that I lived with for a time during this awful illness before I found the solution,
  • with my Mother-in-law who died of this just last January,
  • to my Grandfather
  • and 4 other relatives,
  • to my best friend’s Dad who passed from this several years ago,
  • to numerous friends and acquaintances…
  • to the other ladies and gentlemen that were temporarily in the same room with my Mom at the hospital (but whom I sadly couldn’t offer my help)…

Yes, oh YES, I’m fully aware of the stress and more stress AND helplessness and hopelessness that this disease causes.

And I’m fully aware of the burden and worry and helplessness that caregivers feel

  • and the burnout that ensues from the endless days and nights of turmoil that’s brought to their lives from caring for the LO’s.
  • And that it’s MAINLY WOMEN who bear the emotional, physical and financial burden to care for their aging LO’s in this condition.

Having experienced a period of burnout from caring for both my Mom and my Grandmother at the same time with this disease, I know what it’s like to have NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE

and the absolute need for taking a few days just to care for yourself…

…if you’re so lucky as to have someone else to temporarily hand off the burden to.

And I’ve tried to incorporate them into my Program, as a 2-for-1 offering.

But it would seem that nobody is believing that I can truly do anything or that this is a GENUINE offer.

There are currently some 365 million people worldwide suffering from Dementia and not a single one has taken me up on my offer.

Is there truly no one who deems this service to be of value or significance ?

REally ?

No one that is willing to do what it takes to return their LO’s memory to normal and learn how they, too, can save themselves from the ravages of this horrible dis-ease ?

Nobody ?

Of course, it’s not for free.

The right food costs money to buy.

The right supplements cost money to buy.

And certain right tools that are needed for it to work more easily cost money to buy.

And finally, there’s my service—this incredible knowledge that is life-transforming and gives more than just comforting words, but

actually gives genuine life-changing, memory restoring, and body revitalizing help,

has got to be worth something to somebody, doesn’t it??

Or perhaps it’s just me that is being polyanna-ish about this.

Maybe people don’t really want a solution to this problem.

Do they actually prefer to wallow in their misery and bemoan their fate ? I wouldn’t think so. I surely don’t.

Or are they just stuck in their hopelessness and too afraid to be disappointed again ?

After all, this just sounds too good to be true…so s.u.r.ely it can’t be….right ??

Of what it they’ve just given up believing that it really is possible for their LO’s memory and health to be restored ?

Because after all, I don’t fit the mould of where a solutions is “supposed” to come from…

So surely, I can’t be telling the truth…

Or could I ?

And who could believe that what they’ve been praying for…

The answer to their prayers…

Could actually be streaming right before their eyes in a FB ad from just a regular person like me and not some re”expert” doctor or researcher, right?

And that she…me…could actually have the answer they’ve been praying for so desperately…

That is now, quite literally, just a click or two away ! …nah, that would be too easy…

You know, that was me too, praying for a solution as I watched in confusion as changes mysteriously happened in my Mom and felt the despair of this seemingly hopeless situation, feeling helpless to do anything to help her.

And at first, the fear and the sadness were just overwhelming.

But once I got past that, my brain just kicked into gear…

And though it took me a few weeks, I actually found a solution.

All driven by love.

But now, I’m being called a “fraud”.

wow. me. a fraud. 🙁

Well, at least my Mom and Dad have benefited from my efforts, as did Mamé…

And at least for Mom’s sake, my solution worked for her at 3 different levels of hopelessness, when nothing else would.

Each time, against all odds.

Each time working.

I’m so grateful that it did.

And so I thank you, Mom and Dad. I love you both…oh boy, do I love you…

For now, though, I don’t know…

I can no longer promote my program on FB.

All because of one false accusation who reported my ad to FB.

So quick to assume that they’re “right” instead of checking out my site.

I’ve had a few others who called me liar, but I challenged them to check out my site, to check out my Mom’s story of recovery.

I’ve documented her recovery too well and my program and its’ resulting success, all undeniable, are too well defined for this to be fraudulent.

But without so much as a grain of truth behind that accusation, FB was super quick to shut me down.

They’ve wiped my sites clean of any meaningful posts, even regarding nutrition.

They’ve taken away all my ads’ likes.

They’ve banned my site name as “spam”—I can’t even use my link.

How will people learn about my program ?

How will they know that there actually is help for them to help their LO’s ??

How will they know ???

So sad…so sad 🙁

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day…

Good night all.

Update – evening of August 31st, 2019:

I’m so happy to report that my account and page was restored by the next day.

It turns out that Facebook is NOT an unapproachable, mysterious, sleeping, giant with a bunch of faceless entities manipulating the strings behind the scenes.

There are actually people there who will listen if you present your case in a respectful and well-articulated manner, supported by facts.

I presented my case via the only channel that I had easy access to.

Several times.

And they “listened”.

I was so grateful.

And all of my posts were restored and my accounts were re-activated.

So, don’t despair.

Just don’t violate any of Facebook’s Community rules.

And if you feel that you’ve been unfairly shut down, there is recourse.

Sincere “Thank you” to the Facebook who actually listened to my arguments and restored everything in my account.
