Guest guest Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 It is really hard to find literature from a non Reliv source. I do know that it claims to "boost the immune system" but you don't want to boost your system, but decrease it. I have known several distributors who swear by it, been to many meetings, read their literature but just did not think it was for us. BUT that said, my daughter was given several cans of one of the products (can't remember which one) and drank it. It could be coincidence or could be real BUT she came out of a flare pretty quickly, but who knows. It is worth trying for me to see if it would make a difference, but I just can not afford to purchase it on a regular basis. I mentioned it to our rheumy and he felt it was safe enough to try but he didn't think it would do anything. ecari0227 <jctlanning@...> wrote: Have any of you heard of/tried Reliv?

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 That's my problem with it--it all seems too good to be true. My MIL sells the stuff and is visiting right now and all I have heard about for the past 20 hours is reliv. Everything we discuss comes back to reliv. It's getting quite tiresome. I feel like I am living an infomercial!! She has told me so many stories about kids with everything from asthma to autism to spina bifida to cystic fibrosis CURED by this stuff. My point is if all these can be cured, why are we risking our children's lives doing lung transplants for CF or putting our kids in wheelchairs if it cures SB. It just sounds too hokey. Her stories get loftier and loftier. And I am really careful what kinds of medicines and supplements my kids get. She is now trying the guilt trip thing on me -- " I love my granddaughter so much and it just kills me you are poisoning her with medications that kill her body when she could be cured by this balanced nutrition that is completely harmless. " It is driving me nuts!!! I got her to shut up a little by telling her I'd ask Autie's doc on Tuesday. Pray for my sanity!!!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 There is a group in St. ph, MI that sell this and have meetings ever Wednesday night I believe. I actually was going to try it for my 4 year old daughter. At the time, I went through a life changing event and tried to just stay sane. I have not tried it again, although during the time I tried it, I talked on the phone with about four families whom had various diseases and they were swearing by it. Two had arthiritis and they did not need meds now. Carissa Lanning <jctlanning@...> wrote: That's my problem with it--it all seems too good to be true.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 If it sounds too good to be true it usually is too good to be true. If this stuff were truly a cure all I know a lot of docs who would give it to their own kids. At the very least, please check with your medical team before using something like this. You need to know what is in it and how much of each ingredient is in it. Not everything that is safe for adults is safe for kids.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 See, that was the hard part. The one family that gave us the free ones they did not really have great medical issues but drank it all the time, even the toddlers and were a healthy family (could it be from the drink or just because, who knows). And when I would go to the meetings and listen to the various people about their children being healed etc the hard part was I never saw there child "before" only "after" so I really don't know. I have talked to a lot of people who swear by it and one did have JRA and now totally in remission but I didn't have access to their "before" so again I do not know--perhaps they had a mild case, perhaps they would have been in remission anyways, etc. It is hard to know. Like I said our rheumy was fine with taking it, but others may not. He was open minded about things like that. Our current one, less so. If you find info from a reliable source I would love to read it.eajaomom@... wrote: I am also interested in hearing some "real" people discuss this.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 O don't we all love that line? NOT! My usual reply to someone who says taking off his meds would cure him is to tell them that before he was hospitalised, he could not walk. Before he was diagnosed, he was spiking nightly fevers up to 106. Before meds, and when he's off meds for various reasons, he breaks out in a rash over most of his body. So no, taking him off the meds Will. Not. Work. It may be more info than they want, but if they're going to stick their noses into my business, they're going to get a anootfull :-) Misty & (8, systemic) > She is now trying the guilt > trip thing on me -- " I love my granddaughter so much and it just kills me > you are poisoning her with medications that kill her body when she could be > cured by this balanced nutrition that is completely harmless.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 The parents of my daughter ’s friend sell it and the mom mentioned I should try it for Chris. He was not interested. I do know that when this friend of Jenn’s used it, she seemed to gain a lot of weight. Now for someone like it would probably help, but if weight may be an issue, I am not sure. The parents of course swear by it, but none of their children have health issues. The kids seem to use it mainly because they are in a lot of sports. I am of the “it may be too good to be true” group and I wonder who’s making the money off of it. Just my cynical opinion I guess and if it really works for some who am I to criticize?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 We have tried it in the past. My parents swear by it and were/are distributers at one time. We tried it for about a month or so and saw no results. Caroline actually got worse while on it, but I am sure it was not related to the Reliv she was just going through an extreme flare at the time. Alia and Caroline, age 5, poly and uveitis Reliv? Have any of you heard of/tried Reliv? Does it work for you? I don't know what to think of it because there are some pretty lofty claims out there about this. It sounds hokey to me. I am trying to find out some info that isn't from a Reliv distributor or Reliv website. AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at AOL.com.
