This is my story:
I AM ON A MISSION – DRIVEN BY PASSION
I’ve been known as a sick person not for 37 days or months but for 37 years and that wasn’t who I was – you know, “oh, how’s Deb doing”.
I’ve had Crohn’s disease for those 37 years and had lost 13’ of small intestine and half of my large and a lot of other internal organs. Like “hey, I need that, put it back”. HA
Degenerative disc disease in my neck.
Fibromyalgia.
Chronic pain and chronic fatigue syndrome.
If I were touched, it felt as if someone were peeling my skin off. I stayed in pain ALL the time. Needless to say, I didn’t get to sleep with my husband. I was on tons of medication including OxyContin 120mg/day. That is more than they give to cancer patients. I am SO blessed to be free of that monster.
37 years of insomnia. When one night of lost sleep seems like an eternity, imagine what I went through on this one point alone.
I couldn’t think or even live except on the couch or bed. That was my previous job description.
I had developed a terrible lymph problem that they were just biopsying me to pieces for, and it was looking to fall under a muscular dystrophy auto immune disease for a while.
We were looking into having to put me in a nursing home. That was about the most scary thing as far as having a future goes
I asked doctors if I was living inside of side effects from meds and had two of them tell me YES.
The medical community was giving me no solutions, and I was getting sicker week by week; in the doctor’s office all the time; going from doctor to doctor and surgery to surgery. That all provided NO answers until I was introduced to the Herbalife products, then I took my health care into my own hands. I thought that my life was over and found out that I was wrong.
I had, of course, prayed for years and I believe that God sent Herbalife products to save my very life! I think He used this manner too so that I could help others with the same things that had happened to me.
My product results:
1st day, lost 10lb of that lymph fluid that I was telling you about
2 weeks, lost 35lb and went on to lose 48lb, 66” and 12 sizes in a little over 2 months (I had weighed 97lb at 5’6” and then gained to 170lb because of all the illness and the couch/bed lifestyle)
No Crohn’s activity AT ALL, not a single symptom; Fibromyalgia symptoms are gone.
Off of ALL prescription medications
I won’t be going to the nursing home at 50 years old!
Products I used:
Formulas 1,2 and 3 for balanced nutrition
Cell activator for full absorption
Niteworks for increased blood flow
Joint support to repair cartilage
Herbal aloe because it heals whatever it touches
21 day cleanse to get the junk out so I would stand a chance
Aminogen because sick bowel cannot break down proteins
Flora fiber for the live bacteria, this is a very favorite product of mine
XtraCal is a great tonic. With long term illness, depression and anxiety just come along
Herbalife is not a medicine and it didn’t cure me. Our bodies were created to heal their selves and when they get what they need, that is just what they tend to do. My body responded to the good things I was putting in it. I thank God every day that I found the Herbalife products, because they have completely made me a new person after 37 years of so much pain and so much medication. Herbalife products deliver much more than promised!
I actually get to live now!!
I hope that passion for these products and this company has been birthed in you by hearing my story. That you will ‘find’ those people who need you, possibly to save them from a moment of pain or even to set their feet upon ground they didn’t think was available to them. A life to actually live. There are a lot of ‘me’ out there. Please use my passion to develop your own and keep on changing lives.

Martin Kanters developed Crohn’s Disease at 18 yrs and suffered terribly for more than four years. His doctor prescribed sulphur and steroid drugs
(prednisone etc.) which did help to some degree in bringing down the intestinal inflammation? Through avoiding certain foods and keeping various stresses down, Martin had remained in general remission for the next 14 years however he still had scar tissue along his entire bowel and occasional intestinal cramping from certain foods. The scar tissue prevented optimum absorption of food and nutrition and he frequented the bathroom 3-4 times daily.
After 18 years Martin was seriously considering asking the doctor for a medication that would relax his intestines, slow down the metabolizing of food and increase absorption, when a close friend introduced him to Cellular Nutrition. Three weeks after beginning the nutrition program he noticed major improvement in his bowel function. It is a very clear that the villi of his intestines which were so impaired from the scar tissue were being repaired and functioning in a way that they have not been able to for years!
A few months into Cellular Nutrition he could truly say his bowel function was normal - something he thought would be impossible! Martin's energy level increased dramatically and he was also able to lose 10 unwanted lbs. and clear up a minor case of eczema! He is thrilled!
Martin was able to get on the complete basic program immediately because he was not inflamed or in a flared state of the disease. However another friend with severe Crohn’s was in touch with Dr. David Katzin to learn the best way to take the products when in a more serious point in the progression of the disease and is described as follows:
Begin the following products when not seriously inflamed.
Lifeline, Schizandra, Cell Activator and Formula #2: ONE tablet of each daily until able to consume SIX of each daily.
Drink 1/8 - 1/4 cup Herbal Aloe daily and increase amount slowly as desired.
Remaining products (1, 3, and 4, Florafiber) to be introduced later as the intestinal inflammation / discomfort settles. Fiber must be introduced slowly to Crohn’s sufferers.

I got started on Cellular Nutrition to lose weight, but I had a bowel problem that was getting progressively worse and despite the fact that I had continual diarrhoea, I was still gaining weight by continually binge eating. I was told cellular Nutrition might change my eating habits, but to start with I was very sceptical. However, when I looked at the targeted products, I decided to try them. I had been to a specialist and told I had “Crohn’s Disease ", there was no cure and I would have to go onto cortisone and other steroid drugs or it could turn to bowel cancer. I decided "NO! I didn’t want to go down that path, so I chose to take the "Herbalife Supplement Pack". I powered into it, tripling the dose, and stopped taking Cellular Nutrition for one month to do this. After one month I went back on the diet, but continued to take triple doses of Supplement Pack for 3 months. I then went back for another colonoscopy and was told I was in remission. I have maintained my remission, but I did do some research into allergies because my body was completely dehydrated I had acquired some allergy to dairy and wheat products, but with continual use of Cellular Nutrition the allergies are gone, and as a bonus I lost two stone and two dress sizes , and I feel great! Thanks Herbalife! Sheila Flint
“For many years I had suffered with Crohn’s disease (which is an inflammatory bowel disease). I had daily stomach pains, painful bowel movements, wind, a swollen, bloated stomach, nausea and low energy.
I tried many products and diet changes and followed exactly what my specialist suggested, but nothing really worked. My prescribed medication did ease the symptoms a bit, but I still had on-going problems.
Within two weeks of being on the Herbalife program I felt a dramatic decline in all my symptoms, far less pains, and a lot more energy.
Now I don’t get that swollen, bloated stomach and painful bowel movements, which was once a daily complaint for me. After being on the products for three months I could completely go off all my prescribed medication.
As an extra bonus I also lost 3 kilos. But the best part is that I’m actually healthier now than when I was on my medication.
I’m finally feeling normal again and I feel fantastic! Thanks Herbalife!”
