I can't talk my parents out of this crap, but I want to at least make sure they don't burn too much money on this.
Anything I can do to minimize the damage?
Which one? Get some other idiots to sign up under them. Borrow a friend's BMW and get a fake Rolex.

people that fall for this stuff are stupid and thus poor.
they've already minimized the damage for you.
Tell them the extra income will push them into a higher tax bracket and they will pay more taxes. They may not understand marginal and effective tax rates.

Buy your mom a book on sales. Hopefully she has lots of friends who will buy the stuff from the starter kit.

Talk them out of it

You need to get them out of it.
There are "deprogrammers" that help with this sort of things. Have the Cult Awareness Network help you out. They have been brainwashed by the cult. Look up "deprogramming".

I used to clean the offices of the Jeunesse CEO.

I was cajoled into going to an Amway meeting as a kid.
Literally my boss at my internship said it was a "small get together" and a "party". No joke. He knew I wouldnt go if He told me it was for fucking Scamway so he told me it was a social event.
I had my dad drop me off and told him to come back so I couldnt just leave.
The regional manager and his wife literally had to come up and say
>THIS IS NOT A SCAM
I was just laughing the whole time. Fucking astonished all these enthusiastic college kids were so eager to join this ponzi scheme.

MLM's always have 2 key flaws. You can explain these flaws, and you can ask your parents to ask their MLM recruiter about them:
#1) Why can't the salespeople sell on commission, instead of buying product?
#2) Why doesn't the company just sell the products directly to the market and through stores?
These 2 questions always expose it for what it really is, which is a Ponzi scheme where each level of the pyramid sucks cash from the level below it.
