Reliv's Snake Oil Salesmen

Here is another post from one of our readers. Sadly they are right, Reliv is nothing more than hype and I believe that most of the "healing" that people claim is nothing more than a placebo effect.

"I already decided to take a pass after getting a hard sell to be a distributor and little real information on the product. The idea that a sales call would start out with listening to a recording or talking to someone on the phone set the bells off but when I asked if the product was regulated in any way, this person couldn't say. I have lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and the thought of a "miracle product" that would help reduce the inflammation and give me energy was enticing. The reality is that this is just the thing that could have made my condition much worse and set off major flare ups.
But in the end, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, well, it's a duck. This product and company has a bad stink. I want to thank the person responsible for this site for putting out a very important message to help others from falling prey to these snake oil salespeople. Thank you for a great service!"

Reliv Distributors Mislead and Lie

The following if from one of our readers. We have seen and heard this time and time again. I remember many such stories during my time in Reliv. These distributors don't care about anything accept making money and they will tell you anything so that they can keep stealing your money. When they come knocking on your door, DON'T LET THEM IN. You will save 100s or even 1000s of dollars.

"I was told that using Reliv would help my daughter regain some functionality and more clear-headedness as a result of CP. Of course I knew this was not likely, but I thought the additional vitamins might be good for her overall health. Our entire family took reliv for 4 months, faithfully and the only thing that happened was that I gained 20 pounds (which was not a good thing). Our salesperson just scoffed at me and said, 'well you obviously were using it WRONG. EVERY SINGLE PERSON who has EVER used Reliv has benefitted. You need to be on it at least a year.' I wish she had said that to me upfront. Then I would have known to RUN."
