If interested how this works, go to www.attractgoodhealth.com/body_balance. It's common knowledge that a large percentage of our food is denatured, sprayed, full of toxins and on and on, so it's like rain on the desert when people use any nutritional product.  Most health supplements flood with mega amounts of vitamins and minerals as Reliv does which is why people are getting results.  Both Reliv and Life Force are giving people health results for their cancers along with hundreds of other companies out there.  Life Force just goes at it down on the cellular level.
