In July 1995, I was nearing 200 pounds and had tried every conceivable diet to recapture my youthful 5'4" 125 pound figure. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1984 and have been in remission since 1985. However, because of the physical restrictions of the MS, I could not tolerate physical exercise, which made successful weight loss by the standard methods even more difficult. After 6 months on the Herbalife program I have lost 25 pounds and over 37 1/2 inches. I have moved from a size 18 back to my original size 12, and am continuing to lose inches. As of March 1996, I have reached a size 10 and continuing to lose.
My energy and good health are incredible. I have gone from requiring 8 to 9 hours of sleep daily, with twice monthly episodes of 12 hours to needing only 6 to 7 hours a night. Because of the fatigue that always accompanies MS, I would nap approximately 3 to 4 days a week. On the Herbalife Cellular Nutrition Program I haven't napped in over 5 months. My philosophy of disability with my MS has always been "I know what my limits are -- and rarely abide by them!" Since starting on the Herbalife program my limits have been dramatically extended.
I have also had a hypoglycaemia condition for the last 10 years. This caused frequent headaches and "shakiness". I had handled it by eating "small frequent meals" every 2 hours. This also made weight loss difficult. The Herbalife Cellular Nutrition Program has stabilized by hypoglycaemia. I now handle the frequent feedings by making a morning "double" shake and storing it in a plastic container in the refrigerator. Every 2 to 2 1/2 hours I have approximately 6 oz. of shake in the same "frequent feeding" regimen that I had previously followed. When I have a snack other than the "shake" I have something such as 1/2 banana or 1/2 apple.
These remarkable results have been accomplished on the Herbalife Cellular Nutrition Program only (Formula #1,2,3 & 4), Thermojetics Herbal Beverage, Brazilian Tea, Herbal Aloe and Dong Quai. I have been using the Body Toning Cream for the last month for spot reduction on my stomach and inner thighs.
I am not an Herbalife Distributor full time sharing my "Good Health" message with others, telling them about my fantastic results and about my personal health achievements.
Healthfully Yours,

M.S. Multiple Sclerosis - Rick
It is the little things that make a big difference for Rick who is suffering from Multiple Sclerosis .
I would like to share what has happened to my father, Rick, who was diagnosed with having Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 1984 and wheel chair bound since 1985, since he has been using the Cellular Nutrition products. My hope is that if there are others who have a loved one suffering in similar ways you may be encouraged to take a very good look at what these products have done for him.
It was not until I asked my mother to detail the changes that we really realised how much of a difference this has made to him. It was only 2 weeks into the program that we first noticed some improvement but now, after 18months on the basic cellular nutrition together with Herbal Aloe juice, Florafibre, Tang Kuei and NRG. These are the results.
* improved balance
* reduced fatigue
* less depression
* improved attention span
* he does not choke on his food anymore
* improved small motor skills like picking things up with his fingers
* not constipated anymore
* sleeping better
* can now sit unaided (not propped up with pillows)
* less urinary tract infections
* more control of his bladder
* great reduction in body twitching, shaking and spasms.
All of these things have been a huge improvement in his everyday life style. Basic daily routines like shaving, dressing and showering he can now perform unaided which you can imagine is a blessing for my mother.
Although these products are simply power packed nutrition and we are not able to make any medical claims we have just watched as my dad has gone from strength to strength. Thank you Herbalife for making such a difference in our lives.
