Back Online

Hello Readers - I am really sorry for the lack of posts lately but I had to change ISPs and so I have not had any easy access to the Internet for a while but we are connected again and I am back online!!

As always, if you have any negative stories about Reliv or the Business part, please send them to me so that others can have a chance to learn from your mistakes. My purpose of this blog is to give people a chance to see both sides of the picture. The Reliv distributors are only going to give the positive as they are making a lot of money by selling the products to you. So it's always good to hear from those who didn't get any help from the products.

I'm 31, I have Fibromyalgia and I live with chronic pain and debilitating symptoms. When I hear of a new product that worked for someone, the first thing I do is research it. What works for one may not work for everyone otherwise we'd all have heard about it by now right? Ok, to make a long story short, I'm on a support group list for Fibromyalgia and I saw a post that read "you need to try reliv products lots of people on it say it does wonders for
us people with fibro contact me at...".

Of course I googled it and the majority of findings use the word scam in it so instantly I'm turned off by the product. But I'm also concerned about the use of language used. This person claims to be one of "us people with fibro" yet doesn't say they tried the product or if it worked. They just said "lot's of people tried it and it worked for them and we need to try it and to contact this person". Should this concern me? Should I tell people in my support group to be wary that this appears to be a marketing tool? Am I overreacting here or just being cautious?
Thanks for listening!

Hi Maggie,

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and I hope that you found some useful info.

First of all I will say that Reliv has helped some people. But like all natural cures, what works for one person may not work for the next. And so Reliv would be a very expensive trial for you. Most likely you would be told that you need to take the product for at least 90 days and many distributors will try and get you to "join" so that you can save some money. Usually after two or three weeks of you don't have any results they will encourage you to take two or three times the amounts recommended on the can.

Before taking Reliv you should consider the dangers of using products high in Soy and vitamins made out of synthetic ingredients. I have a number of articles posted in my blog and you will also find a lot of info on the net about Soy.

A friend of mine had Fibromyalgia and she had really good results from a magnetic mattress. There are a number of companies that make them. Also I know that some people have had results from specialized massage therapy. And when I say specialized I mean they have taken it a whole lot further.

If you do decide to try Reliv, don't sign up. You can get the products at about the 30 to 35 % discount level by buying on eBay.

Hi, I came across the following Google blog while researching Reliv as a home based business, I can tell you that I will NOT be signing up into the Reliv scam now that I know how this fraudulent corporation treats its hard-working top-level distributors, it shocked me how cruel, greedy and selfish Reliv's CEO Robert Montgomery is and how his staff treats the distributors (more like employees) who generate so much revenue for his family's empire, Reliv International. If you dare to discover the truth of what's going on behind-the-scenes at Reliv, you will be as horrified as I am once you see this blog I found called RelivNoMore, its an eye opener ---> http://relivnomore.blogspot.com
