I study nutrition pretty actively, and products like Reliv should always raise a red flag. Anything sold through multi-level marketing should raise a red flag, in fact. I can point anyone here to a dozen or more products that make the exact same claims as Reliv. They all have testimonies of people with "Amazing results!" Everyone has a relative that overcame cancer or diabetes or some other terrible illness while taking some kind of supplement. I can show you a bout as many companies that have been sued into oblivion or filed for bankruptcy. There are always so many claims and testimonies, but what it boils down to is this- Nutrition is important, and we should all strive to eat right. One supplement is not enough to supply the cell with everything it needs all the time. Digestion is a drawn out process. Taking a magic shake once a day is not enough to cure cancer, I'm sorry. People just need to accept that these miracle claims, even if someone can produce a personal testimony, are flimsy at best. I've been to the meetings, and I'm just not convinced. I've had relatives with cancer, and they've gotten over it on ice cream and McDonald's. Does that mean McDonald's have a secret formula that we don't know about? People, don't let personal testimony be your deciding factor. People say a lot of things.  called2serve249 Thu, 18 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT
