What a depressing epitaph...but not anymore! Six months ago I 'clicked' on an icon on the web. Two days later, I received a call about losing weight and "getting healthy". To say I was sceptical is an understatement!! However, I had just had a physical and my doctor wanted to put me on Zocor. I could see the "beginning of the end" with respect to starting medications - I'm 59 years old. I had literally nothing to lose, so I started on the Ultimate program on August 6th, 2002.
The third day, I woke up and knew something was happening...I didn't need a whole pot of coffee to be fully awake! That afternoon, I didn't have the urge to take a nap! My energy was amazing!
The first month, I lost 4 pounds a week and went on to lose 32 pounds in 65 DAYS!! I went from a tight size 38 pants to a comfortable 34 for the first time in over 20 years...my acid reflux (a 3-time a week event) vanished, my sinus problems - which I have had twice a year since age 14 - are absolutely GONE!
My wife (who laughed at me when the products arrived), watched what was happening to me and started on the products 3 weeks later. She went from a size 16 to a size 8 in 9 weeks! She is premenopausal and had been having 3 headaches/week. She has only had one headache (other than me) in the last seven months....I could go on and on about other benefits.
Herbalife has added years to my life expectancy - and they will all be HEALTHY years!
We are a fully HERBALIZED FAMILY and intend to stay that way forever.....Thank you Herbalife!!!!!!!!!

When I searched and searched for a home based business in Oct 2000, I had NO idea what I would find with Herbalife!! There is NO other company or home based business that offers anyone results and benefits like Herbalife does. When my sponsor said, do you need to lose weight, I replied, Doesn't Everyone LOL??
I thank God daily for Herbalife and all that it has done for my health and my families. My husband and 4 children are all using the products with a variety of benefits.
Get on the products and STAY on them, the benefits keep coming!!
Product Usage:
Initially I used the Ultimate Green Program and Schizandra and over the first year added: XCal, Tang Kuei (as needed), Menta Balance, Herbalifeline, and in the last year have added Aloe Drink, Rose Ox, Active Fibre. Once I lost the weight, I stopped taking the yellow, the G & B (refresh), and CelluLoss. I remain using the Thermobond as my 7 yr history at age 15-22 of abusing laxatives destroyed my ability to eliminate properly. That is no longer a issue :-) And We Love the Herbal Concentrate; everyone in our family enjoys that, even the children at a light dose. :-)

Hi! My name is Shelley Nicol and I’m from
Before Herbalife I was 25lbs. overweight, suffered from daily chronic headaches, frequent migraines, depression and irregular menstrual cycles which all added up to using fertility drugs to get pregnant with our first two children and suffering through two miserable pregnancies.
Our family life was controlled by my body’s ups and downs!!!
Within two weeks of being on the Herbalife Ultimate Program I lost 10lbs and went on to 20lbs in 6 weeks, which was great. The really awesome part is that within a week my daily chronic headaches were a thing of the past, I haven’t had a single migraine in the 11 months I’ve been on the products, my depression lifted more in the first 4 weeks on the products than it had in the previous 4 months and after 10 weeks on the products we got pregnant with our third child naturally. After a healthy pregnancy we gave birth on July 17th 2002 to a healthy baby boy.
Thank you Herbalife!
Dick & Peggy Minniear -
My name is Peggy. My husband Dick & I discovered the wonderful Herbalife nutrition through the Work From Home income opportunity.
I was so tired all the time I would fall asleep driving to & from work, take a nap during lunch & again when I got home. I suffered from daily headaches my entire life. (The doctors even did EEG brain wave tests on me when I was 8 y/old & couldn't give us a solution---they just said it was "stress".) I had sinusitis/nasal congestion all season long since childhood, also. I got colds frequently. I also remember getting "charlie horse" cramps in my feet & facial twitches (very embarrassing in grade school). In high school I started getting bladder infections so bad I had to get tested to rule-out kidney damage. They would put me on antibiotics & then I would have the miserable, itchy yeast infections (over growth of candida due to antiobiotics killing off the good bacteria). I had chronic constipation, gas & bloating. I also had dermatitis & adult acne which dermatologists blamed stress for, also. All the medications, once-per-day vitamin, calcium & vitamin "C" suppliments I tried never helped.
I have wonderful energy! I don't need any naps now! I no longer suffer with daily headaches or nausea or sinus problems or colds or even the muscle spasms! I don't get the miserable bladder or yeast infections! My blood sugars are not dipping low anymore after eating carbohydrates (people w/ hypoglycemia are at risk to become diabetic). I don't crave carb./sweets anymore. I no longer have digestive issues or skin problems, either. I also lost 13 pounds in 21 days!
Dick no longer has sleep apnea. He has so much energy at 59 years old that most people half his age can't keep up with him. His blood pressure is normal. He no longer gets colds. As soon as Niteworks (Herbalife's exclusive circulatory nutrition based on Nobel Prize winning science) was launched he started that, too. Dick didn't have any nausea after his Rotator Cuff (torn shoulder)surgery like he did with his other surgery years ago. He didn't want to miss even one day of it! So far, he has lost 89 pounds & feels great!
We both started with the Ultimate nutritional weight control program. We added in "targeted" products such as Extreme "C", Xtra-Cal & Schizandra. (Now we take just about everything Herbalife has.)
We LOVE Herbalife!!! Thank you God & Mark Hughes for being the FIRST to start herbal nutritional weight control for optimum wellness!

Have You Tried Every Diet? I know I have.
I am Sally Carter and I weighed 100 pounds in kindergarten. I actually under-ate because I knew I was FAT. Due to the obesity, I developed all kinds of health problems. I had major diabetes, extremely high blood pressure, carpal tunnel; bad headaches, thyroid problems, body pains, and so on.
I felt 85 and was falling apart. I was in and out of the hospital with staph infections, apparent heart attacks, surgeries, pancreatitis, and so on. Everything was caused from obesity. My endocrinologist said I would not lose weight, even though I ate 1000 calories or less a day and exercised two hours each day. He said I would not because of the insulin I was taking and the under active thyroid. I had given up hope because I knew the key to my feeling better was to lose all the excess weight.
My husband was also ill and suffered from diabetes and work stress. He could no longer work. I knew that I had to make more money than I did working in my salon so I started to look for work from home jobs in the newspaper. This work from home job is the thing that changed my entire life. The business was Herbalife. The key to the business was to take the products. The products saved my life. The total nutrition from the Ultimate Program (Formula 1, 2, and 3, plus Cell-U-Loss, Thermo-bond, Green, Beige, Herbal Concentrate, Yellow, and Aminogen) is what my body needed to work properly. When my body worked properly, I could lose weight, have energy, and feel great too.
I cut my insulin by 100 units a day, which was 2/3’s after only two weeks, have tons of energy, lowered my blood pressure from 210/110 to 128/68, cut prescription meds from 13 to 4, got rid of incisions that were not healed since the surgeries in 1996, no longer have the headaches and body pains, and I could go on and on. This total nutrition has totally changed my life. I have hope again. I feel 35 instead of 85. I actually have to pinch myself each and every day to believe that it is me and I am alive and I feel great.
Can you imagine what a gift that is? I want to help everyone feel as good as I do or prevent them from feeling as bad as I did.
I know Herbalife with their great products can help everyone if they helped me!

Most people do not know what Lupus is; actually most doctors do not know what Lupus is. However, for Lupus patients the disorder remains a bizarre, cruel disease of unknown cause, with an unpredictable prognosis and symptoms that are difficult to explain. Lupus is intermittent, recurrent, and can destroy both the will to live and the ability to cope in those afflicted by it. Lupus can threaten life and prevent functioning as a normal human being.
I woke up each morning with considerable dread not knowing how I was going to make it through my day. I had two beautiful little girls that I should be enjoying, but this cruel disease prevented me from being sincerely grateful for all of my blessings. The greatest anguish I had was how my disease was affecting my children. Once, when my eldest daughter was in preschool her teacher called me to inform me that she was crying and sharing with her classmates that her Mommy was dying. Because of my failing health and the affect it was having on my children and other family members I became consumed with my death; I felt so useless and because there is no cure for Lupus my situation seemed hopeless. Luckily, I have always have been a strong-willed individual so I always refused to play the "sick-role". I always forced my self to be the "perfect" mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend; however, because of Herbalife, I no longer have to force my way through another day.
I just wanted to share with you the results I have attained since I began taking these "life-changing" products. I was diagnosed with Lupus, Fibromyalgia and Hypo-Thyroid Disease 12 years ago. I have endured years of excruciating arthritis, overwhelming fatigue, chest pain (pleurisy & pericarditis), chronic cluster headaches & migraines, chronic UTI's and kidney stones, alopecia (hair fell-out by the handful) and mouth ulcers.
Well, of course, this meant I took a myriad of 13 medications. I also submitted to 3 treatments of chemotherapy to make my Lupus go into remission; which were not successful. While, this helped some of the symptoms it also created numerous side effects and there wasn't anything that alleviated my chronic fatigue. I was also subjected to numerous ER visits and hospital stays.
I have been on Herbalife products since December; I am currently experiencing my first remission since being diagnosed in 1990! Within days of starting this incredible program, my energy level soared! Within a few days, I felt more alert and alive than I had in years! Since starting these products I no longer have any chest pains due to pleurisy or pericarditis and I have not had a cluster headache or migraine. The only time I get a headache is when I pull my ponytail too tight; my hair has stopped falling out and it is actually growing! My arthritis has been minimized considerably; I no longer have severe morning joint stiffness and no longer take Morphine for the pain! The best thing is that I actually have energy now! I can't begin to explain how the increased energy has changed my life, but it does bring tears to my eyes... tears of joy because now I have the energy and stamina to keep up with my girls. As a matter of fact, the other night I was actually wrestling with my daughter; by their laughter and smiles on their faces you would have thought I had taken them to
Now,
Regarding my weight loss; I have lost all the weight I put on with the high dosages of steroids 45 pounds over the past year, but I did it the hard way - exercise and a personal trainer. I wish I used Herbalife (much easier and faster); however, since I have started the products I have toned my body considerably and have lost several inches. At 5'7" I now weigh 125 pounds; which is less than what I weighed as a senior in college! The products continue to help sculpt and tone my body. I now have more energy and I am healthier than I have been in years.
I love these products; they have changed my life!
In addition to my Lupus going into remission, I no longer have asthma and my allergy symptoms have diminished considerably. I no longer have a bleeding ulcer and my blood sugar, thyroid and hormones are balanced all without medication. Can you tell that I am excited! Actually, I am ecstatic!
When I was originally diagnosed I was told I would be lucky to experience my 40th birthday. Well, in July I turn 39 and Herbalife has given me the best birthday gift ever . my renewed health! I not only feel healthy . . . I look healthy! No more puffy cheeks or weight gain from the steroids. I no longer have dark circles under my eyes from the overwhelming fatigue. I actually look very young for my 39 years! These products are awesome! I now know that with these products I will live a long healthy life!
Along with the incredible results I have attained with Herbalife products; the business opportunity has also contributed to my wellness. The idea that with my diagnosis I lost my health, my physical fitness (I was an amateur body builder), my vitality, my income and my independence; created such a "pit" of depression that it literally consumed me. Now, with my regained health and an awesome business opportunity I finally have HOPE! Thank you Herbalife! Stay tuned for an incredible income testimonial because this is just the beginning!
The following is my daily Herbalife routine:
LUPUS/FIBROMYALGIA
DEPRESSION - from living with a chronic illness for 12 years
HORMONAL BALANCE: Lupus is believed to be associated with a woman's hormonal balance.
MISCELLANEOUS PRODUCTS
NOTE: Originally, I was unable to take the Green/Beige or Herbal concentrate because the Ma Huang aggravated my Fibrocystic Breast condition, but once I added Herbalifeline the cysts have virtually disappeared. So now I gladly use these products to increase my energy levels, which is essential for Lupus and Fibromyalgia patients. Also, I have found that I need to use the Formula 1 Green because the carbs provides additional energy. When I tried the Gold program I noticed a significant decrease in my energy, but when I switched back to the Green the energy returned.
I also suffered with migraines, averaging 3 in a fortnight from age 18. Since being on these amazing products, I haven't had to use my bite splint, and in this past year, haven't had to take a single pain killer for headaches!
I also haven't had so much as a cold, never mind the 'flu's etc. I'm just never ill.
My husband, a great sportsman all his life, has paid the price for his "healthy" habits, by at this stage of his life having severe joint problems, even having had an orthoscopy on the one knee...needed both...too sore and not a huge success - so lived on anti-inflammatories on a daily basis. After 3 weeks on the products, he stopped the drugs, and my best retail customers are his sporting buddies, who are in awe of the success he's had. I have a young husband again!
I also use the outer nutrition range, and my skin is a testimony to their excellence.
We use the NPD, Fibre & Herb, Thermo's...with plenty of water, Lipo, Joint Support, Herbalifeline, Rose Ox, and I use the Hydrating range including Eye Cream, Skin Activator & the Re-vitalising Night Complex.
I have also added an extra 3 energy packed hours to my day!
