Tim's Story

The summer of 2010 I was on a quest for an additional income opportunity.  I was looking at a couple of opportunities when I came across Reliv. Then I learned that a friend of mine had just begun with Reliv and he told me why. 

I was very interested but I still proceeded cautiously because over the last three years I had tried other “income” opportunities and to say the least they left scars. So I skeptically took the next step and purchased product from him. 

I needed to try this before I was ready to believe.

Within the first couple of days I noticed an increase in energy. Next I was sleeping much more soundly.  I fell asleep faster and didn’t wake up two or three times during the night.

One of the reasons that I would wake at night was due to chronic low back pain.  I would wake to change positions frequently.  I couldn’t stay in bed for more than 6 hours because it would become too uncomfortable.

I also suffered from sinusitis and intense headaches.  I didn’t leave the house without pseudoephedrine and ibuprofen in my pocket because I never knew when I would get a crusher of a headache from a sinus flare up. 

At about the two week mark I woke one morning and experienced a sinus evacuation like I had never experienced before. Bizarre looking stuff was coming out of my sinuses. It felt like a weight was being lifted off my forehead.  That continued for a few days and each day the heavy feeling that I have carried around in my forehead for years was lifting.  I could breath freely again.  My sinuses had been so bad that I had to use a CPAP to sleep.

Before the first month was over I was so excited about what I was experiencing that I was ready to invest in the business.

I invested at the highest profit level, which is 40%, for two reasons:

1. I wanted my wife and 7 children to use the products and this level is the most economical way to do that.
2. It just made good business sense.  I could’ve made a smaller investment and started at 20% but I would have been doing the same amount of work and earning ½ the income.  Again that just didn’t make sense.
3. In addition, it is a very low-risk, nominal investment.  Reliv gives you a 12 month, no questions asked, 90% buy back on your initial investment.  I have either been a business manager or owned my own businesses over the last 20+ years and I have never come across a business that will give you 12 months to decide if you like it.  90 cents on the dollar buy back of your initial investment. That is just unheard of.
4. A business with very low overhead, almost non existent and no employees to manage.

Improvements continued over the next two months.  I haven’t felt this good in 15 years.  At my full time job it doesn’t matter whether I work in the office all day or out on a job site operating equipment doing physical labor I still have energy to do this business, do the things I need to do with the family, workout daily and be active with my Knights of Columbus Council.

My business income is growing every month.  In the Reliv opportunity presentation they say that you are in business for yourself but not by yourself.  This is truer than I ever imagined.  Every person that I have met through Reliv has been more than willing to help me in any way they know how.  It doesn’t seem to matter whether I’m in their downline organization or not they offer their time and share their knowledge.

Reliv’s products are second to none and their compensation plan is simply awesome.

Timmy's Story

I wasn't sure if I was going to write about each of my children individually, but I have to share this story with you.  My 10 year old son, Timmy, is a great kid but over the past few years we had noticed that he was having problems controlling his temper.  He was crabby and would yell and stomp off at the slightest thing.  Needless to say, with 4 older sisters, this was a common occurrence.

I began my quest to find out if there was a reason behind this or if there was anything I could do to help him.  The first thing I found was a link between anger and partially hydrogenated oils.  I started reading labels and eliminating them from our diet (or at least his) as much as possible.  No more fast food french fries for that boy!

I also had read that more Omega 3's would help so we started adding flax oil.  Those two simple things made a huge difference.


Then along came Reliv.  I was curious to see what that would do, so I stopped the flax oil and started him on the Kids Now.  We were very happy to find that we were experiencing the same positive results, plus he gets all his nutrients in one shake instead of a bunch of different things.  We've also noticed that he has more energy and is more willing to tackle things he wouldn't have before.


Sometimes we have to regress in order to see how far we've come and last week was a perfect example of this.  We happened to run out of the Kids Now and that meant three days without shakes for Timmy.  Let me just say that by the time the Fed Ex guy came with our delivery, the girls were standing at the door waiting to open the box, begging me to make him a shake.  What's even funnier is that he was asking for it, too.  He knows now that he feels better when he keeps up with his daily nutrition, and we all enjoy him much more when he's a smiling face in the family instead of a slamming door!

Laura's Story

I began taking Reliv products in August of 2010.  Prior to taking them I had been trying to regulate my thyroid medicine as I had switched over from synthetic meds to natural thyroid medication.  The process had not gone well and by August I was feeling very tired, lethargic and had no drive or motivation.  I also was experiencing very annoying brain fog and short-term memory problems (you know, the "why did I come into this room" syndrome).

I began on the basic products and within two weeks began to notice that I was perking up.  In fact, I hadn't felt that good in years.  We were still messing around with my medicine and I had jumped into Reliv with both feet, so within about a month, I was feeling very nauseous and I went into the toxic range with my dosage of thyroid medication.  In order to get my body back into a regulated mode, I stopped everything and started both the Reliv and my medication back up slowly.

This took awhile, but since then I have been feeling great.  My energy is up, my motivation is way up.  I can wake up in the morning and actually get out of bed without that feeling of dread.  I can think clearly, which is really an amazing feeling, and I am remembering a lot more than I used to!

The biggest thing I think Reliv has done for me is to allow my body to get to the point where I can and WANT to exercise.  I have been talking about needing to exercise for years, but haven't had the energy to stick with it.  Since Christmas of 2010 I have been up almost every morning exercising.  This is truly a miracle for me!

I added a shot of 24K to my morning Reliv regime and I have to say that after about a week of taking it every day, I notice an even greater increase in my "staying" power.  It's kind of like adding an extra engine to your train.  I just feel like I can plunge through the day with even greater stamina.  It is not a hyper feeling by any means, just a nice, steady energy.


Do I like the taste?  NO, I don't, but the way I look at it is that each shake takes me approximately 30 seconds to drink.  That's one minute of my day in total and the trade off for how much better I feel is worth the one minute of dislike.  I am so thankful to God that we were introduced to these products.  They truly have allowed my body to heal itself and to start to be the body I need it to be!
