Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I first want to say that i really really hate writing a bad review, in fact i would rather blame myself instead of a company or another person but i feel that if i don’t write this review i would be contributing to whatever it is that Vega One has going on. I bought my Vega One Vanilla Chai Shake from them at Vitamin Shoppe as i do all my shakes and absolutely loved the taste and was very happy to have finally found a protein shake with an acceptable taste. About a week after taking this i broke out in hives all over my chest and upper stomach. I also began to feel a throbbing sensation near my lower stomach, which felt very weird and very scary. I also noticed my kidneys weakening. At first i did not think it was Vega One, since this is supposed to be a natural vegan product. I could not figure out what was causing this illness. Vega One was the only change i made in my diet however i still did not think it was Vega One but I stopped taking the shake just in case. I went on a water/herbal detox and took natural vitamins and herbs to clear the bad reactions which took quite a while to clear which means that this was a very strong reaction that my body had since not even my natural remedy mixtures were responding to it and i have some very potent herbal mixtures and oils. After the hives went away leaving me with what looks like a permanent scar right in the very center of my chest, i bought another Vega One Shake again to try. Immediately after beginning Vega One for the second time I started to have the same reactions and this time the entire bottom row of my gums/ teeth are ACHING and have been this ways for DAYS which confirms this is Vega ONE. Very disappointed in Vega ONE and founder Mr. Chang. After reading the ingredients again i could not find out why i was reacting this way as I've already eaten all of those ingredients before in other products with no problems. It wasn't until i did an online search with the phrase 'vega one side effects’ and‘ Vega One Rash' that i really started to get upset. From FDA postings about Vega One recalls for product contaminations that can cause blood problems and can take weeks of building up for the symptoms to appear with unpredictable reactions) to hundreds of horror stories and complaints from Vega One customers about seizures, becoming violently ill, fainting, vomiting, nausea, aplastic anemia, emergency room scares, and other severe illnesses from people who've bought the Vega One. Even after the so called “voluntary recall’ which did not seem so voluntary with Mr.Changs unwillingness to comply until a pubic outcry according to news sources. Why is this product still making people violently ill today and more importantly why is it still on shelves. It is scary to think that there are some people who have become very ill from this product and do not know the cause of their illness because they are not connecting it back to Vega One and this is why i couldn’t in good conscience not say anything. Something is very wrong with Vega Ones formulations. i am also interested in knowing what is in their flavoring and why this is so top secret. I was actually considering contacting a someone about some sort of class action suit but i'm sure that by now they've figured out a way or wording to place on their product in order to not hold themselves liable.
