M.E. Testimonial
This came out of a Herbalife Build Your Business Event at Coventry last weekend.
My name is Danielle Saunders and I have been a Herbalife Distributor now for 3 years since finding the products originally when I was very ill with M.E.
M.E. can be quite debilitating and had left me in bed for 6 months with an immune system that was shot to pieces and no energy what-so-ever. To go down the stairs I would have to go on my bum and it would take so long. I didn’t have the energy to lift the kettle to make a cup of tea and to muster up the energy to go to the loo was a lengthy process meaning I often deliberately didn’t drink much through the day to avoid the effort.
I could easily sleep 20 of 24 hours in a day and would catch anything going – I even had chicken pox for a second time which I didn’t think possible.
However, the one thing that doesn’t get effected with this is your mind and I became very depressed and so bored all the time. I would do as my Dr suggested and try and get into a Spanish way of living making myself wake up at 8am, try and do something, anything in the morning (even as mundane as actually making a cup of tea – it would take the best part of an hour to get down the stairs and manage this) then to have a siesta in the afternoon before making myself do something in the afternoon before going to bed at about 8pm where I would happily then sleep through the night hating the alarm at 8am.
I was broke through this as benefit allowance was massive £50 per week and was becoming desperate to get better. I’d tried everything I could think of from healthy eating & Chinese herbs, to high sugar and caffeine (Which actually made me sleep even more due to the energy crash that would follow a high sugar/caffeine intake!) So when I found Herbalife I was desperate, broke, bored, depressed and unwell.
I was sceptical at first but requested the free consultation and a coach called me. He told me what he thought would help and told me of the 30 day money back guarantee – that made me think it was worth a try – I didn’t have the money to try something else that wouldn’t work. So I got the then boyfriends credit card (!) and bought Formula 1, Formula 2 (Core nutrition to help my body do it’s job), RoseOx (To help my failing immune system), Schizandra Plus (For my immune system and to help oxygen flow and so hopefully would aid energy and recovery a bit), NRG (A natural energy life without the crash and Thermobeverage (To try and detox me a bit, hydrate me and help again with the energy)
I started on it all the very second it arrived! Within a few days I started feeling a bit more human and within 2 months was fully back to work so it all really caught my attention and I became very passionate about the products. I went along to a Regional Opportunity Meeting in Bristol and the rest as they say is history! I looked down after that and saw a size 16 belly where there was once a size 12 so went on to do the weight loss programme – I’ve now dropped to size 8-10 top and 10-12 bottom and lost 18% body fat (43.8% down to 25 – 26%) My energy is now on a high most of the time and I’ve gained several hours to my day (Ok, there’s only 24 available to everyone but I’m now able to productively use many more of them each day!)
As many of you now know I LOVE the Herbalife social life and am never the first to bed (On the contrary I’m often one of the last!) and I control my illness almost completely now through use of the world class nutritional products we have within Herbalife along with a healthy diet and exercise.I notice things immediately if I’m left without the products for a day and on the rare occasion I do still get ill, although it takes me longer to recover than most and it often results in a couple of illnesses getting through the barriers after one has entered, I still always manage to get back on my feet and certainly much sooner than before.
I take pretty much the entire Herbalife range but will never be without the key ones mentioned above, along with Herbal Aloe and Herbalifeline.
I hope this is of use to others out there with M.E. trust your coach, trust the products – they’re not medicinal but the right nutrition can do wonders - and I wish you a speedy recovery x
