Herbalife
-
To me, those into health products are taught to sell on the benefits of the products. I find unreasonable for someone to tell me, hey, this product will help you improve this and that lah, cure this and that lah. It's like you don't take it, you will fall sick and regret it. I get the feeling of being coerce into buying.
They keep saying we have the best in the market and it is patented. I always ask a few questions, what assurance can you give me that I will not meet someone in the future that will say the same thing, better than yours? What would happen to the business if some other companies have better and cheaper products compare with yours? So far none could convince me that the business is sustainable.
Cheers,

aiyo whatever lah, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt work lah. I took herbalife for the last 2 weeks and I lost 5KG liao BUT then I still do not subscribe to it as a viable long term business, though I would introduce it to my frens but AT NO PROFIT...So, i think can try the product lor but i guess as a business, it would take more consideration...unless you are DAMN DISSATISFIED with ur current work or pay, then think abt it bah....

I only heard of this company when i was working as a part time for the event for Herbalife. They brought so many of their ppl, all over the world. Got turkey, usa, korean, jap, taiwan, HK etc...me and my fren were overwhelm by the crowd. The event was held in Sentosa and there is even news abt them. It regards that ppl like them brings $$ to the tourism sector something like that.

i am andy
actually herbalife is not about selling
they are selling results -
I have just started on Herbal Life one day ago, cuz I want to look good at the upcoming wedding of my relative in two months' time from now.
Though I'm not as fat as a pig, but I'm a bit bah bah here and there.
If I see the results, I might want to do the selling as a side line
And also I must make sure that everyone sees the result of Herbal Life on me.
You're right. It's about selling the result -

Hi laurence82
Just like to point out a few things
1: danggui base on on the chinese medication is instead only suitable or female. I dunno how to explain the effect it had in english but guy arent suppose to take massive amount of it.
2: You articule is very interesting. However, the date is in 1986, how well is nutrition reseached then. Do you agree that with Information Technology, R & D was brought to a new high? But how good as Information Technology at that time?
RegardsOriginally posted by laurence82:Yup clio, u are right.Apologies.
Think me made a mistake on this danggui and cordyceps.
Will ask my mom more
But the articles by Ross Institute did mention Herbalife didnt manage to get one product out which is Tang Quei Plus or something.Suspect it is actually danggui pills
Let me quote.
'In 1986, Herbalife settled with the state of California, paying $850,000 in fines and agreeing to remove two products from the market: Tang Quei Plus for menstrual cramps, and K-8, which was said to relieve stress. That very same year -- in a feat that may have been far more miraculous than any of his products -- Hughes successfully took his company public. ' -
Hi Bear

Hi Alex

RegardsOriginally posted by Alex Wong:refund? u know your company dun allow me to refund?
now then i understand how u guys treat customers... talk so nice initially to ask me buy....after i buy liao... treat me so hostile.
hope your company collapse! so unethical !!!! -
Hi laurence82
Sorry to say I am very much disagree witrh ur nutritionist at this point
I believe she/he is using Microsoft Windows, isnt it selling very well. But who dare to say Microsoft is free of blemish? If we look closely, there are many companies who products sell well yet they are not free of blemish. Theerfore I disagree to use "free of blemish" to pin point whether a product sell well or not.
!. Firstly, for a product to sell well, it must be free of blemish, like lawsuits, mishaps and stuff. I did came across few websites, which were on lawsuits on Herbalife before. Now guys, I must ask for your pardon. I lost track of that websites, but if you diligently type Herbalife on yahoo, you will come across these websites.

as it part of detoxing process...you should call up the person who sold to you immediately to confirm!
Or there are few herbalife consumer people here, can wait for their reply...
Do you HAVE any illness that may have cause those effect? -
Oooo....i've contacted the distributor i've been told it's normal but by LS in tis rate isn't normal..... i even felt nauseating. But i was told i would feel energise...i'm now on antibiotic for sore throat but i did not take it on that 2 days of my diet programme to avoid any complication.Originally posted by pqr:I was told this is "normal" as it part of detoxing process...you should call up the person who sold to you immediately to confirm!

I've called the distributor on my medication and she replied that the products are all natural which would be alrite to consume with it. N were told that i need not finish my course of antibiotics as the products would be as good?????I'm not sure if i shd stop tis product as it really cause terrible effects. -
i am not sure about the "need not finish the whole course of antibiotics" thing! Any doctor will tell you to complete the whole course...if not, you will have to take even higher dosage to fight the bacteria!Originally posted by joquim21:I've called the distributor on my medication and she replied that the products are all natural which would be alrite to consume with it.

I do know of several people who also stop as they cannot stand the effect...
Maybe you want to check with your doctor? -
Many products even if stated natural does not mean it is safe to consume.
St John's Wort is also an all natural product, but does not mean everyone can consume. -
thxs anyway, I'm finishing my antibiotics soon btw u hav friends who stop taking the products but did they ask for refund......cos i think it's really costly.Originally posted by pqr:i am not sure about the "need not finish the whole course of antibiotics" thing!

Question
Does drinking coffee at the same time as taking a calcium supplement hinder the absorption of calcium? What are the guidelines/restrictions in taking calcium supplements with coffee?
Answer
It is well established that intake of caffeine causes calcium to be excreted. For every cup of coffee (equivalent to 150 mg of caffeine), approximately 5 mg of calcium is excreted in the urine. The research on the effects of caffeine on calcium absorption, however, is less conclusive at this time. When that is the case, we tend to err on the side of safety and advise avoiding the use of caffeine with calcium supplements. You may drink coffee at least half hour before or after you have taken your supplement. Don't forget that caffeine is also found in many foods other than coffee such as cola drinks, tea, chocolate, and some cold medication.
What effect does caffeine consumption have on the absorption of vitamins and minerals?
Answer
Caffeine can increase the amount of calcium lost in the urine & feces. You can make up for the calcium lost by adding milk to your coffee or tea. Don't forget that caffeine can also be found in cola drinks, chocolate, cocoa, and some cold & pain relief medication. Caffeine may reduce the absorption of some minerals, such as manganese, zinc, & copper, as well as vitamins such as vitamin A & B complex. -

you should consult your doctor, that's the best and saftest way. I don't why your distributor told you that you should stop anti biotics. We distributors always understand that we're not professionals in medicine, so if there're anythings in doubt, u must consult the doctor, you should not stop ur anti biotics like that, what if sth happen to ur health? Yes it's safe to use herbalife, but it may not be safe if u stop taking ur pill, gosh
