Testimonials"I developed shingles in 2000 but didn't have the classic chicken pox look. I went undiagnosed for 4 months just taking pain meds. After spending 10 days in the hospital I was diagnosed with "internal shingles". In their testing doctors used steriods and I became an insulin taking diabetic. I have what is called Post Herpetic Neuralgia which is permanant nerve damage from the shingles." "Upon release from the hospital I had an epidermal in my spine. I put myself in pain studies all over the country. I used to be on several pain medications". "Doctors told me they didn't have anything for nerve pain. I was told to learn to live with the pain. 15% of the people who have this problem commit suicide." "I started taking a nutritional product in June of '05 and after just 2 weeks I was able to sleep through the night without drugs to put me to sleep and drugs to wake me. I've also gotten relief from joint pain in my knee, avoiding knee replacement surgery. I shook so bad I couldn't keep food on a fork. Depression and panic attacks were a daily occurence, but no longer. Because of these great Reliv products I'm now able to enjoy a wonderful life. Today I am insulin free and pain free". Joe Maydak - Streamwood, IL "I'm a 45 year old male who was born with Spina Bifida. In 1988, at the age of 26 I started having a lot of pain which lead me to loosing sensation on my entire left side. From 1988 'til 1995 I was on 3 pain medications." "I spent many days completely bedridden. In 1995 when I started on the Reliv products I could not walk without help. After taking the products I have regained feeling back in my left side. 6 months ago I added additional nutritional products to my daily intake which allowed my left hand which was clenched for 5 years to open up. For the last 7 years I wore a brace on my left leg. Today, I no longer wear that brace. I am off all pain medications after 6 months since starting on the products." Chuck Delak - Chesterton, IN "I had been bedridden for over 9 months,on heating pads and pillows. I had a burning pain throughout my whole body where it felt like my blood was on fire. Absolutely nothing could touch my body. I had a burning pain from my neck to my feet, all from a debilitating disease called Fibromyalgia. I was sleeping 18 - 20 hours a day and was living in constant pain, chronic fatigue and had difficulty sitting, standing or lying down. I was taking a lot of medication for pain and depression." "I had exhausted the medical field looking for answers along with Chiropractors, Acupuncture Therapy, Bowen Therapy and Natural Path (Naprapath)doctors and continued getting worse. I had gained over 50 pounds." "I was introduced to a great nutritional program that allowed me to drink this product and within days I was able to get out of bed. I was beginning to get my life back, I found hope." "Today, 4 years later, I am feeling just absolutely great! I also went on to get results with women's health issues, joint support and overall wellness. With basic nutrition I lost 30 lbs. in 4 years. I take the products 3 times a day. I am ever so grateful someone told me about Reliv." Judy Mallard - Sacremento, CA "In January 1998 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The cancer had metastasized to the lymph nodes and was growing at a proliferation rate of 39%. (17% -19% is considered a fast-growing cancer) Both my mother and her mother had gone through breast cancer, chemotherapy and radiation. I chose to have a double mastectomy followed by six moths of experimental chemotherapy. Chemo put me into an immediate and permanent state of menopause at age forty-four. I started shrinking due to massive bone density loss; I lost my hair and became chronically anemic, my bone marrow having lost the ability to produce good blood." "I had believed in nutrition for a long time. I juiced vegetables twice a day and grew and juiced wheat grass. Nothing seemed to work. Doctors suggested I start on hormone replacement therapy to help with the loss of bone density. I believed that all of the prescription drugs were shortening my life, not to mention the quality of life." "In October 1999 I started on a nutritional program that provided me the balance my body required along with the wellness benefit to strengthen my immune system and allow me to live healthy once again." "After 4 months on this Reliv program, I visited my oncologist who told me to keep doing whatever it was I was doing. At the sixth month my chronically low blood pressure and brain fog went away. At twelve months, a bone density scan proved that my 47 year old bones had the density of a 30 year old woman." Suzanne Steger - Oak Park, IL "Before taking any kind of nutritional products I was looking at changing professions. As a carpenter, I was suffering from lower back pain, right shoulder pain, and numbness in the middle fingers of my right hand. I had a car accident that put me out of work for 6 weeks." "I returned to work with much difficulty, never fully recovered from the accident. I started taking a nutritional product to help support my wife's (Suzanne) health condition." "Although I thought of myself as healthy, in the first week I noticed I had more energy. I was skeptical but in the first month my back pain went away and the numbness in my fingers and pain in my shoulder diminished. By month 2 I was able to work without any problems." "In the fourth month I was able to get off a drug I had been taking for 7 years for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Additionally, I no longer suffer from seasonal allergies or have to deal with any sinus infections. Today, we only go to the doctor for wellness visits." Bob Steger- Oak Park, IL "I suffered from migraine headaches for most of my life." "I always felt that I was healthy because I took vitamins and minerals for over 25 years. In January of 1992 I started taking a nutritional supplement that I was told could help me with more energy, but also provide relief from my headaches. Along with my migraine headaches I was also diagnosed with optic neuritis which left me with 50% peripheral vision loss in my left eye." "Medical doctors couldn't do anything for my problem. By April of 1992 (4 months later) I started noticing an improvement in my vision." "I had been taking the Humphrey field of vision test every six months for several years." "By this time my vision was improving so much my glasses and contact perscription were too strong. Today, my peripheral vision is about 99% back." "I no longer suffer from leg cramps, allergies, and I am healthier than ever." Ellen Costigan- Pensacola, FL "I have had sinus problems most of my life, I also have arthritis in my hands, knees and back and was diagnosed with diabetes type II in 1984. The medications that the doctors put me on had terrible side effects. I have been taking medication for years, when in 2004 I had to take medication to combat diabetes. Then in 2007 doctors added Flex Pen (insulin) throughout the day while still taking 2 different meds twice a day." "I started taking a dietary supplement to help me with my health issues. It was simple and easy to take. My blood sugar count has stabilized, I no longer suffer from the debilitating pain in my joints and rarely have a sinus issue." "In November 2008 I started on a revolutionary supplement that has helped manage my sugar levels even more. I know the new products will continue to help improve my condition." "Thank God for these wonderful products, I will never be without them." Judy Wylie - Clovis, NM "I worked as a cosmetologist for almost 25 years and have suffered with sinus infections and migraines almost daily. Over time I was also diagnosed with a bone joint condition called Osteopeenia." All of these issues made it difficult for me to work. "I was taking vitamins and calcium pills for years so I was quite surprised when doctors diagnosed my condition." "Since I was introduced to a nutritional supplement that I could drink and receive 98% of its nutrients, my body has responded tremendously." "I no longer suffer from the stiffness and pain of arthritis, my bone density actually improved by 7.6%. Sinus issues are gone and I am no longer anemic." "My blood count has improved and I do not require an iron supplement. I've lost 17 pounds and do not crave junk food. I have been able to accomplish all this with a simple nutritional product that is so easy to take. The day to day wellness is incredible". Cathy Moran - Warminster, PA "I am a 52 year old male with advanced coronary disease, type II diabetes, and severe asthma. I was diagnosed with diabetes at age 40. I suffered heart attacks at ages 42 and 44. With 9 coronary stents inserted and out of control blood sugars, even with medication and insulin, my health was always at risk. My energy level was low, plus I suffered for 6 months each year with chronic nosebleeds. My asthma was a daily battle. As a businessman working in sales and marketing, it was difficult to conduct business due to breathing difficulties and a constant irritating cough." "After only 1 month taking these products, my HDL (good cholesterol) was normal for the first time in 11 years. After 2 months my nosebleeds stopped completely. My blood sugars dropped from 220-225 down to 150-170 and I lost a few inches. I was able to stop taking insulin. My blood sugars have been as low as 120 - even with some cheating on my diet. I look and feel healthier. Family, friends and business associates have noticed the improvement in my health. I am so happy to have found these products and to be enjoying improved health and energy." Terry McDonnell - Glenside, PA "I am 65 years and was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes in May of 1996." "I had been looking and praying for a way to reduce my blood sugar readings and hopefully then to reduce my 2 diabetic medications." "In August 2008 my A1C test was 6.8. I started taking the Reliv products in September 2008 and added the newest product Glucaffect in November 2008. I had been on Glucaffect just 6 weeks. In December 2008 my A1C hemoglobin was run with the results being 6.1. Because of the lower number my doctor decided to take me off one of my medications." "My last blood test was in March 2009. It showed an increase to be back up at 6.6. My doctor expected an increase since taking me off one medication, by since I lost 15 pounds, decided to keep me off the one medication. My doctor said to continue with what I had been doing and to keep taking the Reliv products." "My vision has improved and I no longer take muscle relaxers for back pain with 4 bulging discs." "With each passing month I continue to receive better health results with these nutritional products." Charles Hastings - Wichita, KS I am a 38 year old mother of a 7 year old daughter who was diagnosed with ADD, and a 6 year old son who was diagnosed with severe autism at 13 months old. Since his diagnosis I have explored every every possible treatment or remedy for autism, including vitamin and mineral supplements, as well as medications. My daughter's case with ADD had her on Ritalin and Adderal which left her exhausted. I had no hope with my children. It was then that I was introduced to the Reliv products. I was extremely skeptical because I did not believe in nutritional supplements and I tried so many other things. In the first 4 weeks we started to get results. My depression, allergies and PMS was gone, and I had more energy. My son is a happy, loving little boy. His tantrums are gone, his receptive language has increased a lot, and he sleeps thru the night. My daughter has improved tremendously in school, getting better grades and finishing her assignments. She no longer suffers from acid reflux that was bothering her when taking her medications. The Reliv products have made a world of difference in our lives. For what it's worth, we have a far better quality of life. Anna Herman - Dallas,TX Before Reliv I was suffering for 3 years with a neurological disorder. It started with extreme fatigue, weakness in my legs and an imbalance when walking, I also had this intense burning-tingling-numbness in my hands and feet and the pain was unbearable. I would wake almost every night because to the pain. My hands were completely useless. I dropped everything and could not even hold a coffee cup.
My symptoms graduated to the point where I could not walk without grabbing onto ANYTHING around me - to steady me or I would have terrible falls. I could not speak clearly, my slurring was heavy and I experienced severe word-loss retrieval.
Nothing was helping me. Rather, the side effects really put me into a deep depression. My hair, eyebrows and eyelashes started falling out. I went from a size 2 to a size 8 in less than 2 months. I began to shake profusely when I walked, and I had absolutely NO energy. I slept any chance I could. I hated watching what this was doing to my family. This was NO quality of life for any of us. I just could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. I had absolutely NO hope!
When my mother, an RN, came over with 2 cans of powder... I had 2 choices, I could follow the path I was headed in – or I could look at this as the answer I had been searching for. I dove into those cans!
My changes were very noticeable to everyone! I could get up off the couch unassisted, without holding onto those walls, chairs – but more often than not my 10 and 7 year old to steady me. I could talk without slurring (people could actually understand me) and I could finally hold that coffee cup! Today, I understand the importance of great nutrition is to our bodies.
When I think of where I was emotionally and physically only 10 months ago, I am without words. I keep thinking – what if? – what if I did not choose to dive into those cans?
I am gardening again, playing baseball with my kids, participating in their lives! I even helped out with my daughter’s cheerleading this year. To walk across that football field (when I could not even walk up the bleachers last year unassisted) and spot her when she did her stunts - was a record moment in my life. I have my life back and I love it! Heather Rogers - Newburyport MA
