A Kid's Story
Mommy, it hurts!
Our son Zach is five years old. In early February we noticed he was making strange movements with his mouth and face. We let it go a few days thinking he was just messing around, but after a week of this we started to really take note. The facial movements continued to get worse, happening every few seconds all day long. I took him to our medical doctor asking if this could be “tics,” but he said no.
But it got worse. He started closing one eye like he was winking as he moved his mouth. I was up every night until the morning hours researching to find out why this just came on our son and how to correct it.
Our doctor began to think Zach had a brain tumor. Testing and brain scans all came back normal. The doctors and a pediatric neurologist concluded he had “tics of childhood development,” and they would just pass as he matured.
As you can imagine, we were stressed beyond belief wondering if it were something more than what they were telling us. And to look at our child every day all day for weeks and watch him twitch his face was heart breaking. He kept telling me, “Mommy, it hurts.”
A friend of ours suggested we try a product called Relìv NOW for Kids. Our son is a picky eater and eats poorly. We knew the product was good nutrition, so just for that sake alone we decided to give it a try. We began the product on April 28, 2009. I was nervous about how to get him to eat it, but I prayed and he ate it mixed in his applesauce twice a day.
Within one week all the tics were gone, his energy level increased, and he seemed more alert. Ten weeks later, we haven’t seen a tic yet!
It’s difficult to describe how this product has changed Zach’s life and our family. The weight that has been lifted from our shoulders has left us with joy and peace. And Zach is feeling terrific!

Blood Sugar Levels Improved
My name is Greg Johnson. I am a retired public and Christian school administrator. When I was introduced to the Relìv products in 2002, I was looking for improved health because I was already suffering with Type 2 diabetes. After taking the products on a daily basis over a period of time, I saw my blood sugar level going steadily toward a much healthier range. My blood pressure and cholesterol also got back into the normal range.
I began taking Relìv's new GlucAffect product this fall when it was introduced. Within a week, my blood sugar levels improved even more and has been stable ever since.
I am very excited about the Relìv products and especially the new GlucAffect. With them, I hope to live a normal and healthy life without the complications that can come from diabetes.*
Dayna Jennings
My name is Dayna Jennings and I am a stay at home mom with 5 children. My health took a down hill spiral in 1990 after our 4th child was born. I developed muscle and join pain that left me in bed 10-12 hours each night, I took as many naps during the day as I possible could, and a lot of hot baths – that was the one thing I found helped elevate my pain.
I looked nutritionally for 12 years – vitamins, minerals, herbal therapies, homeopathy, green drinks, juicing until I was turning orange. I knew I was on the right track – when I ate better I felt better – but even with everything I did, I was very inactive and weak.
By the time I was in my early 30’s, I felt the best years of my life were over. I didn’t think Relìv would help me when my husband brought it home for me in 2002 because I had done so many other things. But, to my surprise, by the end of the first month my pain levels were dropping and my energy was increasing. I continued to get stronger and healthier.
Today I function on 8 hours of sleep, hardly ever take a nap, and most of my days are pain free. I don’t ever want to go back to the life I was living… I am SO THANKFUL for the Relìv products.*
Improved Eyesight!
My name is Gail Johnson. Before Relìv, I thought I was a healthy person. I was taking lots of vitamins each day, but I could tell the difference in the way I felt after starting on Relìv products. I had more energy throughout the day, and then I noticed that my fingernails were getting stronger. I knew then that something good was going on in my body.
I just turned 60, and as I was getting older it was harder to bend down and jump back up. I have discovered that I now have more flexibility in my knees. My eye doctor says that he doesn't know what I am doing but to keep it up because my eyesight is improving.
I had dealt with severe headaches for most of my adult life. Those headaches would go into migraines. It is amazing to me that now after six years of using Relìv nutrition, I don't deal with that pain anymore. I am so grateful for our Relìv products. I will be on this nutrition for life!*
Joyce Atchison
In 2002 I retired from a professional career where I had worked for 31 years. I felt totally worn out and tired. With rest and multiple vitamins, I finally found some energy and started to enjoy my years of retirement.
At my husband’s urging I joined a senior bowling league in 2007 and immediately had lots of pain in my hip. My Son and Daughter-in-law who were distributors for Relìv suggested that I try Arthaffect and the nutritional shakes. Within two to three months I was aware that my hip was no longer bothering me and I had so much energy I thought about going back to work; but came to my senses and remained retired.
I now enjoy all activities and am totally pain free – a very healthy person. Each day I take two nutritional shakes and count my blessings for having discovered Relìv.*
Juanita Jachetta
My name is Juanita Jachetta and I have been a Social Worker for Children Protective Services for 23 years. Four years ago I was promoted to Supervisor, and along with that came frequent headaches. I was taking Ibuprofen at least 3-4 times per week, which I didn’t like. I was also exhausted, going to bed at 8:30. My weekends were spent napping, sometimes up to 4 hours per day, which I hated.
I started on Relìv in March of 2006 and my headaches were immediately gone and I haven’t taken an Ibuprofen since. In 2 months the exhaustion lifted, I have added 2-3 productive hours to my day and I don’t nap on the weekends. I love the way I feel on these products!*
Matt Jennings
When I was introduced to Relìv in August of 2002, I didn’t think I would be able to take the products due to my food allergies.
I was encouraged that these products were different in the quality and the manufacturing process so I decided to try it. To my amazement, I did not have any problems with allergic reactions.
I went on to use the products and got great results with energy and joint issues. My favorite result is that I had struggled for almost 25 years with a bone on bone knee. After 3 months on Relìv I was no longer dealing with the pain, swelling and grinding of my knee. Today I have returned to doing any athletics that I want.*
Melissa Jennings
My name is Melissa Jennings, I am 20 years old and am an Administrative Assistant. I began taking the Relìv products 6 years ago when I still lived in my parents home.
I didn’t realize how much the products had helped me until I moved out of their home 2½ years ago and stopped taking the products. My severe allergies and eczema returned with a vengeance. They became so severe that I was unable to go to work, and I developed strept throat.
I started back on the products and my allergies cleared up, my eczema went away, and I haven’t had a cold or flu since. I guess the old saying that “Mother knows best” really is true.*
Walter Stodghill
November, 1992, I lay in a hospital bed. I had been healthy and exceptionally strong. I could work and keep up with the best. Now I was totally helpless, depending on others to feed me, bathe me, clothe me, put me on the bed pan, and give me drugs to keep me alive. Instead of being the "bread winner" for my family, I felt like a worthless burden.
I had worked 30 years for Motorola as a computer software engineer doing factory automation. Because doctors said I was at risk for “sudden death” because of a heart problem, Motorola forced me to retire on long-term disability. For the next eight years, I tried every product imaginable to get my health back. By the eighth year, I was still on long-term disability. I still needed drugs to keep me alive. And I was struggling financially.
That's when our tax advisor told me how to save our house from being repossessed: “Become a Relìv distributor and help other people.”
God had answered my prayers. Not only did I help others, but Relìv helped me. My health returned to normal and with the income from our new business, we saved our home and eventually bought a new one.*
Willie Meyer
My knee pain is gone!
My name is Willie Meyer and I live in Payson, Arizona. I’m responsible for maintenance of a large apartment complex; all two story units.
About three years ago, I started having problems with my knees while walking up and down stairs. It got so bad that I had to use the handrails to keep from falling. Worse yet was the problem of climbing a ladder with an armload of tools! I worried about losing my job.
I started using the basic Relìv nutrition. Thirty days later I was able to navigate the stairs without any problems. But, I still had a lingering knee problem from an earlier construction injury. After taking Relìv Arthaffect for two weeks that was not an issue.
Also after fighting a prostate problem for ten years, I started using other Relìv products and received amazing relief. I thank the Lord for Relìv! Now I can only imagine what life would be like without those tasty "shakes."*
