Reliv Unfair / Wrongful Business Practices

One of our readers posted a link and I found this on that website. Thought I would post it here.

"Reliv International is very savvy about getting complaints against it removed from websites by strong-arming, fear-tactics and ominous threats of lawsuits that complainants are liable for ‘defamation of the Reliv brand’ should anything be said that could be deemed negative or against the company, whether online or off.

Allegedly many top level Reliv Ambassadors have been terminated or had their income yanked for posting complaints about the company online, so its not surprising why you won’t easily find complaints against Reliv, they have a track record for going into arbitration to settle all legal battles, which is to say SETTLE OUT OF COURT, and therefore appears “squeaky clean” on the surface, but if you know where to look, you’ll find Reliv International is anything BUT lawsuit-free.

There are however, still plenty of complaints appearing on the web (perhaps too fast for Reliv to sweep them all up) and range from concerned distributors losing results, health discussions about soy and even some “negative testimonials” about Reliv International’s products or the Reliv pyramid scheme.

Many 3rd party reviews about Reliv fall under the inalienable rights and protections under “Freedom of Speech,” and therefore more difficult for Reliv to get deleted or removed from web host servers via threat of litigation.

You will find more than a few complains against Reliv here: http://www.RelivWatchdog.blogspot.com

The blog still appears to be up and running (for the time being anyway.) I suppose Reliv Watchdog is as good a starting point as any, if you’re looking for honest reviews about Reliv International, Inc. or any of its toxic, Monsanto-soy products."

My husband was persuaded by the Reliv organization to stop all western type medicine for his prostate cancer. His doctor had told him that his hormone drugs were not working as well and his PSA was slowing going up. He had many Reliv salespeople call him and he ended up believing that he could he healed of his prostate cancer by using their products. So he didn't listen to his oncologist, his MD,his family, or his friends, the gospel truth only came from the Reliv Organization that sold him thousands of dollars of their products, stating he would be building up his immune system to fight his cancer and he was told by many that his PSA numbers would go down by just taking their miracle products. Of course the organization has their disclaimers, but, the salespeople tell the tale of the many people with all sorts of horrible diseases like cancer, ALS, etc.,that are cured by their products. I spoke to several of these people and told them what I thought of their scam for profit, they would then just call my husband more with a Doctor on a conference call, or another Reliv Ambassador that would dispel any negatives, and then go on to state that if the current purchased products were not working as well, that now he should try another product. Because my husband was persuaded by these people to forgo the only treatment that would have prolonged his life for several years, he now is facing death because his prostate cancer has spread to his brain, which is rare, but had he listened to his doctors 6 months ago when he was still very healthy and thriving, his family would have been able to enjoy life with him for several more years, like so many of our friends who have successfully beat or kept cancer at bay with western practices. I will be going to Congress with this when my husband passes, to help legislate law that prohibits these type of scams on the sick. I will also be speaking with my attorney soon about this very sad story, and believe me Reliv, and other such scammers, I'm coming for you soon.......And my lawyers are all family, and we won't settle out of court, you have messed with the wrong family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
