I have been suffering from Fibromyalgia for 6 years. This is a systemic illness which causes wide spread body pain along with many other symptoms. In my case these included Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Acid Reflux Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Migranes and Depression.

3 years ago I became disabled after having an attack which is now believed to be caused by MS. My cognitive skills, motor skills, balance, and bladder functions were impaired. The pain and spasms in my legs became unbearable and for the following year I was unable to walk without a cane. I was in an "exacerbation period" for that year and then improved somewhat but still dealt with these issues along with other neurological symptoms to the degree of total disablity.

7 months ago I was introduced to Herbalife. At that time I was on 12 medications including narcotics for pain. I had no strength or energy and was severely depressed. Within the first 2 weeks I noticed an improvement in my mood, energy, digestive system and focus ability. I started getting better everyday and 2 months ago was able to drop my medications down to 5. Although I still suffer from both illnesses it appears that the MS is in a remitting state and I am much stronger than I ever believed would of been possible.

Herbalife has given me a second chance in life. The products give me the nutrition and strength my body needs to fight these illnesses and the symptoms I face. I now not only have hope and faith back in my heart but also a smile on my face.

Products I use: Formulas 1, 2 & 3, Joint Support, Tang Kuei, Xtra-Cal, Aminogen, Relax Now, Sleep Now, MentaBalance, St. John's Wort, Herbalifeline, Woman's Choice, Woman's Advantage, Mega Ginsing Blend, Niteworks

Tried EVERY Diet!! (1/10/2003)

Have You Tried Every Diet? I know I have. 

I am Sally Carter and I weighed 100 pounds in kindergarten. I actually under-ate because I knew I was FAT. Due to the obesity, I developed all kinds of health problems. I had major diabetes, extremely high blood pressure, carpal tunnel; bad headaches, thyroid problems, body pains, and so on.

I felt 85 and was falling apart. I was in and out of the hospital with staph infections, apparent heart attacks, surgeries, pancreatitus, and so on. Everything was caused from obesity. My endocrynologist said I would not lose weight, even though I ate 1000 calories or less a day and exercised two hours each day. He said I would not because of the insulin I was taking and the underactive thyroid. I had given up hope because I knew the key to my feeling better was to lose all the excess weight.

My husband was also ill and suffered from diabetes and work stress. He could no longer work. I knew that I had to make more money than I did working in my salon so I started to look for work from home jobs in the newspaper. This work from home job is the thing that changed my entire life. The business was Herbalife. The key to the business was to take the products. The products saved my life. The total nutrition from the Ultimate Program (Formula 1, 2, and 3, plus Cell-U-Loss, Thermo-bond, Green, Beige, Herbal Concentrate, Yellow, and Aminogen) is what my body needed to work properly. When my body worked properly, I could lose weight, have energy, and feel great too.

I cut my insulin by 100 units a day, which was 2/3?s after only two weeks, have tons of energy, lowered my blood pressure from 210/110 to 128/68, cut prescription meds from 13 to 4, got rid of incisions that were not healed since the surgeries in 1996, no longer have the headaches and body pains, and I could go on and on. This total nutrition has totally changed my life. I have hope again. I feel 35 instead of 85. I actually have to pinch myself each and every day to believe that it is me and I am alive and I feel great.

Can you imagine what a gift that is? I want to help everyone feel as good as I do or prevent them from feeling as bad as I did.

I know Herbalife with their great products can help everyone if they helped me!
