The following is a post I just received from one of our readers. Besides knowing someone personally that this happened to, this is just another example of how people allow the money to get the best of them. These Reliv Distributors DON'T know more than your doctor and NEVER EVER stop doing what your MD has said. Sadly it cost this man his life!
"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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The purpose of this site is to give people a chance to see there is ALWAYS more than one side to a story. I am sure you have listened to "pre-recorded" messages promising healing or the chance to make an easy dollar with little or no effort. But sadly this is the real world. I created this site to give people a chance to see the down side to Reliv. If you have had a bad experience with Reliv, the products or business, please share it with us in a comment.

Reliv / MLM Doesn't Belong in Church
Christians REALLY need to get their focus off of money and back to where it really belongs. WHY would a Christian radio station or church members focus so much on selling Reliv or any other MLM? The bottom line is, they aren't reading their Bibles enough. The Bible is clear, "The love of money is the root of all evil". MLM's promise easy money and people / Christians get so focused on making a quick dollar that they forget about the gospel message. Reliv and MLM's are just another trap of the devil to get us side-tracked!
Thank you to one of our readers for sending this in and I'm glad we helped!
"I have always stayed away from Reliv, mainly because of their ads on the Christian radio station in town that does one commercial after another of products that they themselves "highly endorse." Fortunately we have some commercial free Christian alternatives here so that I don't very often have to hear any of that...but that was my first exposure to Reliv. There was also a big distributor in our former church who just didn't want to take no for answer. One evening she called me with her upline wanting to tell me all about the product and the opportunity... I couldn't believe she was so pushy, and politely but firmly as possible I let them know I wasn't interested. Another family friend is also in the business and is wanting us to try one of the products for my husband has been in the hospital now for weeks with a bad viral infection. She also has an upline she wants me to talk to. I found your site just out of curiosity because my gut, once again, recoils at this tactic...I'm sure she is well meaning and I know she believes in the products but I just don't like the company, and now I have more to go on when it comes to the products. Thanks for posting this information."
